The picture comes into focus. Rain falls from the Seattle sky and it is
obvious that this is being filmed from the top of one of the corporate
towers in the Downtown district. The picture focuses in a man in light
security armor wearing a security helmet. There is an emblem on his
right shoulder of the constellation Orion.

He has finishes putting together a Barret Heavy Sniper Rifle. With the
scope locked into place and with a twist of the silencer he looks down
the rifle. He lays down a bit more, and lifts the visor on the helmet.
Looking down into the Seattle streets his vision finally comes to rest
on what could only be his mark. His breathing begins to slow, he twists
his head about a couple of times loosening his neck muscles, and looks
down the barrel and into the scope.

Just barely above a whisper can you can hear the almost musical tone of
the Elvish tongue of Sperethrial coming from the man.

He stretches his right arm out, and strokes the rifles once allowing
his hand to come to rest at the trigger. Gently he lays his index
finger on the trigger and he takes three deep breaths.

The camera's target changes and the view is that of the Seattle
streets. Third and Seneca to be exact. Busy corporate wage-slaves are
walking to work during the early morning hours. The camera scans the
crowd finally coming to rest on a lone individual.

The mark is dressed in a black overcoat and is wearing dark sunglasses
despite the fact that the sky is overcast and it is raining. He also
carries a brief case and seems to take great care that nobody comes in
contact with it. The camera marks this man at 434 meters and closing.

We can still hear the sound of Sperethrial and the intensity seems to
increase. When the target is at 400 meters the sound of the first shot
can be heard.

The first shot hits the target on the left side of his head. Sheering
half his face off and he does not appear to be dead. A snarl of rage
seems to come from the mark. He looks ready to turn and run when a
second shot catches him in the chest.

The target collapses and appears to be dead. The crowd on the street
panics and all flee the scene. Within moments a Doc Wagon ambulance
pulls up takes the body, and the brief case and leaves the area.

The camera swings back to the figure on the roof

"You got him," a pause "good, don't open the briefcase I'll be down
shortly." Great job guys. See ya in a minute!"
