immediate friends. Include the massacre and Trixie and I would call him 2
for 5. He has appeared in the following contexts that I can tell of:
lending a hand in the massacre of various orks and trolls that Shadowfox
and Doomsday stumbled upon, attacking Doomsday and failing, attacking
DragonEyes and failing (in Baltimore this past weekend), attacking Trixie
and mostly succeeding, and attacking Shadowfox and succeeding in annoying
Shadowfox. Oh, Shadowfox, nice tat's!
The video that Doctor Gordon handed me was interesting to say the least.
He took Dark Angel, Cloak (the elf that backstabbed HAMMER in Japan),
Dagger (the human that Doomsday ran over in Japan), and himself to Doc
Grizzle's old pad in upper state New York. The run went more or less
smoothly. Dagger noticed the place was being watched, and Cloak and DA
took out the watchers but not permanently. Unfortunately, due to time
constraints they didn't interrogate the watchers. They went into the
house, and some three hours later, (during which the cops showed up due to
a neighbor's complaint and found the watchers and removed them for
questioning that _NEVER_ happened) they emerged, tangling with a new set of
watchers and almost getting arrested. In the meantime the video is cut for
a long length of time. I speculate over what happened, but I believe the
good doctor showed them a hidden library and showed them some information
on the person that DragonEyes was chasing. Cloak, Dagger, and DA, all
studied the information to great length and then the doctor switched the
info to show information on Doc Grizzle and DragonEyes. I should say that
he tried, for the information was deleted before he got there. DA said the
information was deleted at some time near the beginning of the year from
what he could tell. He asked if he had enough time to reconstruct the
files and the doctor told him no.
That was a while ago. You would have to ask them how long ago it was.
This is all merely a back drop to what happened. I had a rough idea of the
picture the guy that DragonEyes was supposedly chasing. It is the very guy
that pulls DragonEyes out of the fire.
Watch and be frightened.

"Good evening. Tonight's local spotlight falls on the unlikeliest of
places, our city's ghetto. Apparently, a large gun fight broke out. At
first the authorities, Lone Star, thought it was a mere gang brushup. But
all that talk apparently stopped when it was discovered that the people
were all adults that had illegal modifications and firearms on them. Lone
Star was outraged at the atrocities but only had 12 bodies to pick up. The
magical background, an unidentified source said, was distinctly higher than
it should have been. The source said that it was a frightening thought at
what might have happened, and Lone Star is thinking that someone might have
been trying to bounty hunt a paranormal that the CAS put a bounty on three
months ago.
"The task to identify the body has been futile so far, made increasingly
hard due to the fact that all the bodies were sinless."

Close but wrong. It was not normal, but it wasn't bounty hunters going for
a critter. They were going for DragonEyes. I caught this on a trid
station (and they are still in operation). They call themselves WALL for
whatever reasons. WALL didn't really have a great shot at the action, so
it is more than a little confusing. I edited the video into three
sections. After doing that I discovered that only two were really
relevant.
+++++ transmit video_part_1
You see the dark, dirty green duster, and the hippie-like man that wears
it, approaching a humanoid figure that is hidden in the shadows. He
smiles, that smile that sends chills down your spine. This man, the
Wanderer, always has that dazed look on his face. The shadowed person
swings around and points an impressive looking rifle at the Wanderer. He
smiles some more, showing his brown stained teeth. "Relax. I mean you no
harm. I merely want to talk to DragonEyes."
The person fires but misses. In a blur, he knocks the figure out.
"Unprofessional idiot." He quickly realigns the barrel of the gun and
looks through the scope. He fires once, and curses as the gun misfires.
He throws the gun in disgust at the unconscious person and jogs off.

It has been a long time since you have seen a picture of this tall, thin
elf. His hair is long, wiry and mostly gray. His face has more lines than
some maps you have seen. This man has aged more than it seems possible.
This man is no other than DragonEyes. He is quietly walking down the
street when he spins around. You see the Wanderer run up. "Excuse me, are
you DragonEyes?"
The elf sneers at the man and says, "No. I killed him. Go away."
The Wanderer curses and says, "Very well. You shall die to. All because
of Doomsday!" He swings his sword and catches the tall elf in the
shoulder. The elf is knocked down by the sheer force of the blow and is in
too much pain to get back up.
The Wanderer gets ready to finish him off, when a bolt of energy tears into
him, knocking him back. A scratchy voice says, "I don't thinks so. I
would object terribly, if you killed my friend, DragonEyes for whatever the
reason." You see a scarecrow of human man standing near DragonEyes. His
hair has gone premature white and there is a sharpness in his facial
features.
Several other people appear. All season shadowrunners. One of them
shouts, "You have protected that one for the last time, Crazy one. Prepare
to die! Just like him!"
The scarecrow of a man laughs, a sharp, shrill laugh that reminds you of
fingernails scratching a synthetic wood board. "You fools! Do you really
think you can stop ME! I know the true meaning of power. Not the
delusions that DragonEyes hides behind. But DragonEyes, isn't hiding any
longer. No, sir. He is learning what true power is. AND SO SHALL YOU!"
He claps his hands and the earth starts shaking like an earthquake has hit.
Out of the ground comes an earth elemental so twisted that you wonder if it
is possible to look that . . . that perverted. One female in the group
shouts, "TOXIC!"
+++++ interrupt video_part2
The video at this point fails. When it resumes, the spirit and DragonEyes
and his "protector" are gone. There are only four people standing, and
they are fighting each other. In the distance you can see a very hurt
Wanderer limping off.
I'm afraid from what little I was able to glean from Dr. Gordon's video,
that the man protecting DragonEyes was no other than the man the DragonEyes
was originally chasing. For a person who isn't afraid of what Kor would do
to me if he got his hands on me, or what Nightmare would do, nor what any
of the politicians whose careers I have slinged mud upon, I am afraid of
what might happen to DragonEyes. ]<<<<<
