This is beautiful, couple of weeks of Koschey and Gorinich attacking bases brought out inspiration, the information that I'm getting is that proxies are dropping like flies all over the region. The fact that Koschey and Gorinich with the help of some runners they ran into, took out the main organization here in USA that was supplying proxies with weaponry and money, that certainly shook things up for them.
So I thought it was time for me to get my ass off the couch and start doing some work. Lucky me that when I get off my sick day, real shit hits the fan. Once I was up and ready I told Koschey to take a break, tried to convince Gorinich to relax as well, but nope, that animal is like an endless source of energy.
Since Proxies were being taken care of by various other groups and their system practically fallen apart here in USA, it was time for us to look for other targets, and we did. We found a Maenad hive here in USA, man these guys were pathetic, after the recent death of their master The Rake and I'm not kidding, here take a look, here too. They were like lost puppies or some shit, some of them were mutated to the point like Gorinich and were practically turned into animals, other were still able to utter a sentence and actually walk on two legs.
I let Gorinich go in first, they didn't attack him because they thought that he was one of them, this was also a good test to see if Gorinich was truly loyal, safe to say he is, he lashed out on them without a single thought, ripping them apart, they started ganging up on him so I came in as well. They became more furious when they sensed my presence, or rather the presence of my darling Fortissimo, they hated her, who could blame them, after all she was "part" of Marshmallow Man in the past and it is no secret that The Rake and Marshmallow Man were enemies. So slaughter began, some of them bled blood, some of them blood some sort of acid, had to be careful that blood actually ate through some of the concrete.
However, what I didn't expect was that the place was wired with C4, I was lucky enough to find out about that when Gorinich sniffed out one brick of it, didn't take us long to get our asses out of there. Someone wired the place, someone was going to take care of the left overs of Maenad's before us, they were also going to take care of us in the process.
But I'm not a stupid cookie, Gorinich got the scent, so we sniffed out the bastard that triggered the explosion, it wasn't one bastard, a group of people hiding in some sort of Van. Didn't attack them immediately, followed them to the docks, to a warehouse.
Inside, bunch of people walking around, lots of computer equipment and shit, wanna know who these people were? Well surprise, FBI was on a clean up mission, don't really know on which side they were, probably bunch of Proxies. They were cleaning shit up here in USA, by cleaning up, making sure that all this little war was being kept a secret, along the way getting rid of unwanted guests.
Of course I couldn't resist, so me and Gorinich introduced ourselves and took out all of them, I have a bullet wound in my right leg, shit happens. So we took a look, these FBI agents were legit, from what I could see they weren't serving anyone, they had all the groups on their target lists, all their bases marked out on the USA map, bases that even I didn't know about, so I took the map.
Something else that I found out, digging through their messages it seems that these guys were on a mission of wiping out all the servants along with Runners, they wanted to keep everything connected to this conflict as much a secret, as they could. You know why? Get this, if other countries find out that good ol' USA is in such a state, a third World War could start, other countries would use this opportune time to conquer USA.
So when I said War, I really meant Wat, we're on a verge of a World War Three and the only thing keeping it at bay are these agents that are keeping everything as much of a secret, as they can, I don't like that, so I'll be taking care of them as well, imagine what kind of Destruction could start with a World War III! It would be beautiful!
Something else that I found out, good ol' Diana is behind these FBI agents, apparently she's an FBI agent, interesting huh?
Fascinating! That makes sense you know. But who the hell would want to invade the United States? We have everything they do here in England, except we're a smaller space.
ReplyDeleteSo will somebody PLEASE invade England??? PLLLEASE. I HATE US. Kelevra can your country invade us? You Russians have tea and sarcastic humour; we'll all get along just fine. PLLLEASE.
Meh. We're a pain to invade, and can be stubborn as balls. There's a reason the last invasion was 947 years ago. Also, very little strategic value.
DeleteWe don't have that much in common with France or Germany though. A true Englishman just wants tea and sarcasm. You have to admit, on a cultural level it works.
DeleteYeah, but there'd be no real reason. IIRC, not too many resources or living space. It'd be political, and we're too damn polite to be invaded for political reasons.

Delete^ Germans and British had unofficial ceasefires because of what our nations had in common: football! (And also Christmas. But you know. Football, come on, that's a true selling point.)
Hurr durr I'm American. I'll be the quarterback if you'll be the linebacker.
Delete-Veigar
British = American Translation:
DeleteFootball = Soccer
American Football = Football
I know, I was making a joke about how ignorant most americans are about the terminology.
Delete-Veigar
Then to atone, I'll share one Brits are ignorant of.
Delete"That Irishman is pissed."
American thinks the Irishman is angry.
Brit thinks Irishman is drunk.
I have another fun nitpick for americans
DeleteRussian refers to black colored people in their language as "Neigr". (Probably wrong transcription but whatevs.)
When American hears it, he automatically thinks that the Russian said "Nigger".
Similar: In Britain, cigarettes are called "fags", whereas in the US "fag" is an offensive term for a homosexual. To borrow something off someone in Britain is "to bum". So when a Brit asks if they can "bum a fag" it just means they want a cigarette from you.
DeleteAnother: Americans use 'fanny' as an affectionate-ish term for their arse, like derriere. Us limeys and also Australians use it to mean vagina, and it's a lot ruder.
Also, from my experience people from other countries care far more about our royal family than we do. Seriously. We Brits don't give a shit about the royals, don't feel that you have to either.
Well for us runners it already is a war. But now we know we can win. If an all out war is what it takes to get rid of the Fears and their servants, then so be it. We can rebuild afterwards.
ReplyDeleteIf a WWIII broke out that's when every capable country would just start throwing nukes everywhere.
DeleteI don't think we can rebuild from a nuclear wasteland. This isn't Fallout. We don't have things like radaway or rad-x.
-Veigar
I don't think countries would bomb themselves to hell, I also don't think that its THAT close to WWIII. But those FBI agents are afraid of that happening and they do have a valid point, but I don't think it comes down to those agents covering shit up.
DeleteSo you all can chillax, though it would be fun to witness the bombs falling, sound of devastation and then in one sudden minute, silence.
I agree with kelevra. People are dumb. But not THAT dumb. And it won't be country x vs country y. It will be Fears(and servants) vs humanity.
DeleteSure the chances of winning are small but do we really want to stay like this? Them picking us off one by one while the rest off us just lives their lives, not knowing that any moment they or their family could end up in this hellish situation.
I certainly don't. No thisn't Fallout or any other game, this is much worse. The only way we stand a chance to save this is to fight back. And we can't do that if its just a handfull of runners, no we need the whole of humanity for this.
We think we're protecting them by not letting them find out. But instead we are just dragging this out, giving a chance to the Fears to torture more humans. It needs to stop, Now.
@kelevra, Eh no it might be fun for you for a short moment. But what then? Most of humanity dead and the rest following soon after. All that would be left wold be some Fears and they'd just go elsewhere. Leaving behind an empty boring world. No more destruction, no nothing.
Except eventually the sun blowing up. But wheres the fun in that? Just saying.
If humanity wins they'll eventually start fightng each other. Sounds like it would be a fun time for you.<x3
If destruction were to wipe out all of humanity and the rest such stuff, leaving nothing but emptiness and if I somehow survived, I would probably kill myself, since then there would be no destruction, thus no purpose to my life.
DeleteOh of course I would root for humans, but still I would enjoy watching a full blown out war.
You could always keep destroying things if everyone but you died.
DeleteBuuuut, it would be really sad looking. Like that one lonely kid that sits in the sandbox punching the sand slowly.
And that would be boring as fuck all.
-Veigar
What happened last time there was a threat of nuclear war? America and Russia paid my country's scientists to come party with you peeps, and then nothing happened.
DeleteAnd like I said before how can there be nuclear war if both sides are all over the world. You can't exactly target proxies with nukes without killing a lot of non-proxies too.
DeleteAnd the other way around too. Nukes would be the dumbest tactic. Even if the other side doesn't have nukes to send back. You'd still be taking out your own people as well.
So yeah even if WWIII happens, it robably won't be nuclear.
What I'm talking about is that even though WWIII was humanity vs fears/servants dumbass countries (*cough* america) would probably fire a nuke and blame it on proxies.
DeleteAmerica's just cool like that.
And if I would bet on any part of the world would stay alive it would be southern U.S. Because you have many, many, many hicks who are as skilled with rifles and shotguns on a military level.
So yeehaw and all that.
-Veigar
*even IF. Not even though.
DeleteSometimes my hands type things I don't tell them to.
Curse you hands'. And all of your finger too.
-Veigar
Veigar you'll be fine in America, see this military spending graph.
DeleteI hope they keep proxies a secret, frankly, no doubt governments cover it up, not just America, and you can bet your ass that there'll be some kind of national blackout if America found out, and then we'd lose contact with American runners.

DeleteMan, must be nice for the proxies to have such powerful allies. Also, this post gives me an idea...
ReplyDeleteThe FBI aren't your allies.
DeleteWhat can I say? I'm an optimist.
DeleteYeah, they're most likely gonna try to wipe out both sides, aren't they? :(
