This will be found in Lily's Hover Jeep. No Bearing on game, just her first log is all.

Lily's First Log:

~Opening~
*Flying Raven landing on top of a Grey Banner of a Pentagram with Two Brush Strokes over it* "Kaaaaah!" is heard in a loud echoing sound wave.

"These are the Battle Entries the RAVEN!" Lily's voice can be heard as the field of view pans out to a female in leather armor against the rising sun. Looks pretty boyish figure with some hints of feminine curves.

"Entry One, I have been accepted in the Demon Busters an Elite Demon and Monster Hunting Unit. As a magical support specialist assignment I hope to prove my metal!"

"Entry Two: I got to know some girls my age, had a slumber party with them. Their parents are line regulars I'll be fighting with. Got a mission in three days. Briefing tomorrow, then two days of training then we go after what ever it is we are going after.

“Entry Three: Had a nice briefing and we are going after a Neuron Beast! A mother of one of the girls last night saw me at the debrief and talked to the Dreamer about a special mission for me tomorrow! I can't wait!”

“Entry Four: Found out my special mission...I get to help guard the Dependants. Big Whoop...but as Uncle said, there is no mission to unimportant. I was told to go normal and mix with the rest of the girls. I guess to surprise any attacker. The Dreamer and the General seemed to be at odds about some thing.”

“Entry Five: Well they got the Beast. My new friends were trying to get me to talk about boys...as if I have time for them! Sheese. I was on guard for any attack and they seemed put off of my sticking to duty, till I let them see one of my Anime, later I found they took one from a wrong box and I got KP duty for a week for that oopsie...a Mega Juicer kept eyes on us as well. His Name's Dread. Ugly looking Cuss, but I'm sure glad he was on my Detail!”

“Entry Six: I finished week of KP duty. Dread took it along with me as he was in command when it happened he said. Man we got done fast. Had enough He told me of some of his battles. He loved an old comic Wolverine and uses some FWIS claws and PB blasters and was thankful I let him copy my 5 vids of it. He's calling me Kat...the other lower line people seem to accept me now as one of their own as Dread gave me a nick name.”

“Entry Seven: Had another slumber party again with my friends. Susan, Diana, Lucy, and Patricia and some others tried to talk me in to going to the Unit's school with them. They said a girl my age shouldn't be risking her life. I could smell Susan's mom and the Dreamer put them up to this... I told them I finished school when I was 10, I got the equivalent of a physics degree. They came prepared and launched in to an exhaustive academic assault...I got every thing right. In the Morning the Dreamer came to me and told me she still could place me where she thought I was needed. Well I went back to school again. How Boring. But as Dread's support Specialist. I still had to take the classes though... Dread said I may as well look the part as teenage girls seem to be targeted a lot by demon and monsters who might strike at us for revenge. Thanks Dread. Now I can do my job better. Even if Susan's mom Adopted me as her a unit mother. Bright side I got a new sis!”

“Entry Eight: Well...same old duty, my other teammates Noobs like myself, Psimon a mind melter, Rachel “Rack” a head hunter partial borg...Dread and I. See I leaned bester english ~giggle~. Similar stuff but gotta be alert.”

“Entry Eight Point One: It wasn't Routine. Some thing called psi goblins got past our defences...went straight for us girls...they had see aura or some thing and went for the greatest threats. Me and Psiomon at first. Psimon TK bubbled the kids I magic fly papered most of them. Patricia was out side the bubble but lost her arm to a frost blade...I leveled my Wilk's 457 and blasted the bastard. Aiming high so I didn't blow out any thing beyond the school trailers. It was tough it took almost all of my blast...Psimon was moving in with his psi sword as I heard Dread yell for melee weapons. Not the first time I used my Vibro Katana in combat. Good thing I had armor and my armor spell on. I gave Psimon an armor spell. Dread was like a mad wolf protecting the pups...in a sense he was....frost blade on one vibro katana...cold...but I had my friends to protect! And the families of my other mercs were depending on me! I would not fail! We didn't...when the rest of the home guard game in and took care of the goblins in my Carpet of Adhesion I was sealing Rachel's wound with my minimal psi power. The Dreamer came in furious some one attacked “HER STUDENTS”. Saw me and ordered me to guard the kids...said they knew me...and would be less of a trauma to them...this time I knew she was right. Rachel was talking to Patrica...about bionics...Patricia seemed excited...her mom wanted to strangle us for failing but...3 injured charges no death with 2 dozen psi goblins running in the perimeter...the General said we did good. Dread said OK but OK is good when no Dependants die. So I'm calling this one a Win. I heard the General tell the Dreamer there is no safe place here. Moma Sue, my Camp Mother had the General make me be a kid and learn some spells and had me down graded to milita...the Dreamer backed her up...so I was a Kid l on down time learning more spells form a cute elf...Named Light Dancer. But still on active milita. Well till I turned 16...then I got to go back full time on the Line! Seems that was the deal the Dreamer made with the General for Moma Sue and the Mother Alliance...”

“Entries now replaced with Mission Logs...well run on the rest of the year, Sister Susan got knocked up and married an Operator and settled in Lazlo so that left mom to focus on me...gee whizz... First time on front line...going after some thing big. Mom was furious I didn't tell her...well Dread kept me sharp, Rachel been training Patrica on the side. Psimon been getting most the fun, but Dread put the band back together!”

“Mission Log #14 “What the Name Says” : Mission over so can log it. Locust Demon with a Balrog and 2 dozen gargoyles. The Gargoyles were locals who the two demons took control over. The General Said it was odd during briefing. But plan was laid, Team D, ours D for Dread, was flanking guard. Spent most of my energy on Seeing the Invisible and Armor spells for others going in through a mystic portal. Big Fire Works...7 Gargoyles tried to cut in behind our guys so Dread had us go in to aciton. Me and Rachel screamed maidenly eeks getting their attention so they closed. As they got in range Psimon froze a few I CoAed most and Dread and Rachel went out to have fun with the leader. We were ordered not to kill them as they surrendered. A gargie from Larson's Brigade offered the survivors a place to go. They went and followed him to their new tribe. That's about it. Heard the Demons got it. One of the locals thanked us heard Dread say “What the name Says” pointing to the unit banner.”

“Mission Log #15 “Slaver Slaying.”: “Well...some slavers were active in an area we were going through but seemed to hide good. I came up with a plan to volunteer as bait but was shot down. But they had Delgardo do it anyways. I never get any fun! Well it worked. He's pretty as a Bouncy blond. I CoAed a few of those blind bitches and the others blew up the barge as it came out of a near by pond by a ley line. I did get to shoot one of those floating eyes though.”

“Personal Log: “Mom is going to stay with Sue now, since sis is having triplets. She cried all night...well so did I...made me realize how much even my family were to busy for me but uncle...till Moma Sue kidnapped me into hers...well...she's a doctor so her talents will be missed. Moma Sue insisted I find a nice man and give her grand children... It was nice having family again...but I'll be to busy for boys and kids with my chosen career!”

“Personal Log 2 I guess: “When on Rest and Refit I noticed some odd things about me fairies playing with some ones...I did a see the invisible and saw some spirits of my people playing. I found it was a distraction to get my candy. Then some tree branches moved and pointed me in direction of brush pile...well there was a fawn with a hurt leg. I healed it best I could as its mother came out...I did another see invisible and saw some spirits about the fawn and doe...that wasn't a normal doe as she and the fawn disappeared literally. Brought out memories of the old days back on the preserve...always some thing happening when I was studying to remind me of who I still was. Thanks for the Reminders. ~happy~ ~sigh~

“Mission Log 16 “Hunt and Seek”: Vampires! Finally some direct action! Psimon and I took lead! Scouts found their lair but we went after the secondaries guard post! Rachel and Dread were watching our backs! One got scent of us and thought me and Psimon were a quick snack! I threw a stake at one but the damn thing was wearing a Body Armor Vest! As it closed I blew its armor off as Psimon made a TK bubble for us. Just then their main cave lit up with light brighter than the light sky and a storm covered the area...they looked. Psimon dropped the TK field as I shot one with a Water Cannon! What fun! Dread and Rachel came out staking with great precision. Man what a RUSH! I had to shake off a few mental whammies. Rachel was a mess so I um...hosed her down the the water cannon...she yelled why I didn't use my Cleanse spell...oopsie...we won.”

“Mission Log A LOT!: OK been away for a while from base camp...no time to log...we did a long series of odd job missions. It started with people disappearing. Some were wondering what the video of one dark thing was. Sheese as if no one ever saw a Black Winged Monster Man? Once ID-ed were going to go looking for them. Then things got really confusing. Seems the BWMM also got some gargoyles to join them...they are similar type monsters after all. That got some Demons to come around who were mift their “Minion” were stolen as they were going to get back their property...and some Deevils showed up just to cause trouble with their old enemies... Oh and some Slavers who hated the competition for gathering slave stock in the area...”
“A Lot Log 1: Well I was on a team to find the slaves that were taken, our field unit was given a lot of leeway. Ok...well we did my poor native girl in the open. My Peoples are a favorite of theirs oddly. OK I got caught...but by some Sploogies! Sheese...my team was shadowing them I guess but before relief could happen we were beset on by Gargoyles! Pretty well organized! Well...a few spells on me and my fellow prisoners kept the stray fire from killing us...then the BWMM came in...not to be confused with the BWW and hauled us away! Just as some Demons showed up who were then attacked by some Deevils...oi...perfect timing...
I got hauled to atop of a mountain top in a crater of a volcano. But as going I activated the transponder on me so they could track me if Psimon failed to find me. Well there were almost 200 people there. I was looked at as a prime breeder, yeah as if I had the time! Well soon we were out to work doing some working things. Took a week for any sign of rescue! During that time some demons tried to assault us. Some Deevils came to make an anti demon alliance....or tried to...the Gargoyles attacked them...
Well the night of the rescue some thing tickled me awake as I cast a spell to see what it was it was a little spirit telling me to get ready, then a rift opened in the middle of the camp...I CoAed a few local up as some forces came through! Oops it was some Splugorth! Ok...well I helped them get through there were laser blasts and every thing going off...as they were about to get a lot through their rift sealed... OK now I was really confused by now. Then things got more “Interesting”. A perfect bombardment of Smart Bombs hit every thing around the stockades. Guess the General Subcontracted some AC-29s by the look of it. Who ever sealed the rift also got the Splugorth forces. Could have been that Rakashka with that wicked looking sword who teleported out seeing things went bad for every one. Well a few CoAs on things coming to kill or eat us or human shield us and various sorts of troops coming in some natives even led us to another portal that got us out of there! Well I was tired and fell asleep, and some one made the mistake where I was suppose to go and found myself on a travos heading off to a local tribe when I woke up! OK took a bit of explaining as some warriors frowned because they couldn't compete to see who's wife I was going to be! Yeah like I got time for being Domesticated! I did how ever have to stay a week for the celebration as a Representative of the people who Organized the whole big rescue operation. GRANDMA showed up! EEK, Plant Shamaness...uncle was there with Moma Sue and Susan and her family! Uncle Married Moma SUE! OI! Seemed they had a thing a long while back...they met again when he did an escort to Lazlo and saw I was in her family pictures...oi... Well long of the short, an uncle is a father, his wife a mother in my culture...sis now real sis...Grand Mother was going to make sure Sis was going to be a healer like I was suppose to be...oh well it all turned out well! Oh General Lectured me for doing such a dumb plan even if it did work...as I said a lot happened. My family going back to the preserves. Grand Mother said she might rename me Stubborn Bison Butt. ~giggle~.”

“Mission Log Lost count so going by mission name now this is Mission Melech Mash!: We were hired out platoon level. As it says, Melechs raiding, a dozen of them oddly. I played bait. They hate pretty things. A few pulse rifle shots we took down the 5 who came after us. It was over fast.”

“Mission Brokdil Follies: Ok not a standard off beat mission for us. Straight up combat. I spent most the time casting inviso seeing. Dread did some thing rare...he made a mistake! We were in the middle of their flanking manuver! My amor wasn't fitting well lately and I only took a light armored robe. My AoI barely saved me a few times as we had to go in to Melee! Dread was taking them down fast as I had to actually do more sword work! Most seemed not to take me as a serious threat and mostly wanted my vibro katana as a prize. Psimon did the big save that day, he paralyzed enough so I could cast again and get those CoAs out and cover Rachel and Dread with armor spells. When my power waned it was back to being the second line gunner again! I didn't mind! If it wasn't for the confusion of the battle and dust we would have been misted pretty fast. Good old uncle dad's comboed rifle he gave me. Dread made sure every one on our team had one like it! I got yelled at for not having my regular armor on. Then they saw the reason why...it seems I was busting out all over the place that June. I was getting bigger and wider in places....how that happen? Sure made me a little top heavier. Sheese...how can girls live with this and like it!”

“Mission Down and Outs: Rachel transfered out for more specialist training we got a new head hunter from the unit's in house training. PATRICIA! She didn't have a good time after loosing her arm. When she was trying to ride a tree cliper she fell and broke her other arms and legs...well bionics helped her so she decided to go head huntress! We drew a simple mission to help break her in...seems the others had to do with me...another kiddy mission. Look for some bullies and tell them not to bully in the bad part of a town. With my um...bigger parts I attracted them nice and fast, as one pulled a knife Patricia went on the attack! She was like some crazed Juicer and had 4 of them down before I could yell at her to stop! Well...only 2 were killed...the town council under considered it an acceptable loss of some scum bags as law and order were restored. The General...not so understanding we were all on report. What ever that means. When it came time for the inquisition, it was the Dreamer who hammered me about my being responsible as I was there! I countered all her arguments that rebutted her charges. Her face flared with anger for a few seconds....the General stepped in and told us they didn't take in to account Patricia's trauma a year ago. So it was decided. More TRAINING for all of us.”

“Mission Train! CHOO CHOO!: Well...we trained all right from the back to basics...reminded me of my uncle/dad showing me how to field strip an energy rifle. Well...Patrica thought it was demeaning but me and Psimon told her fighting wasn't all glamorous and exciting. Psimon was falling in love with her.... ~sigh~. We had a few other training runs and kiddie runs. Patrica finally seemed to stop being so haywired, and we finally got working good again! Dread seemed not to mind the slow down oddly...he peppered sprayed me when I tried to do a see aura on him...man he's fast! One Kiddy run turned deadly though. Psimon caught some thing not normal around our charges. With me being so lumpy now I couldn't pass myself off as the Kid in the middle so Patrica took that. Psimon radioed Patricia of the strange kid and she pounced on him and tried diving out the armored glass window with it. Man can she bounce! The Kid turned in to a Deevil and tried to off her. Well Psimon TK fielded her from the rest of us. As she and the Deevil went at it. A few good CoA made it an almost no contest. Patrica was all excited with her victory. She got Yipped at trying to be more careful. But she and the right idea of getting it out of there, she even didn't shoot first. A first for her! We all got a 6 hour instruction on base defences again...because we should of known that glass was high tech armored stuff.”

“Mission: Schism. Yep. We were drawing low end missions...one was a pirate smuggling out kids to some place. Delgarbo metamoprhed as one we followed him to where the pirate was selling the kids to. A cult using them for sacrifices...Instead of wating Patrica freaked and went in...our two other new members who were a couple of young guns liked her style and went after her. I knew enough not to leave others go unsupported and then Dread swore...and had to spring every thing early. Psimon protected the latest sacrifice. Patricia scooped up the kid killing the priest. Man she loved those FWIS she got Dread to get her...but the mess they leave...ewe... She went for the pirate...took him out with her armor almost gone. Well Dread was having a fun time...soon the cultists were gone. Patrica jumped in to the pirates hover jeep and took off! We figured she had a reason as Psimon jet packed after her with the two gunners with him. When our support arrived...we were ordered to go report to the General. After we cleared up the mess! Once again we were told we blew it by the Dreamer. When Patrica came in leading 14 kids with Psimon looking at her blissfully happy the Dreamer looked at her and said to Patrica “YOUR OUT!” “WHAT?” well then there was a long series of name calling, the Dreamer actually got angry! The General came in with the rest of the command personal when the whole thing was super loud... The Dreamer starting going over the how Patrica put her team at risk and operations. And looked at me about to start, so I Stuck her lips shut and told the General I resigned. Soon we all dismissed for a “Command Meeting” but I didn't drop the spell till I leave the command center. Patrica was furious! Psimon was totally confused. The two “Young Guns” they now called them selves Dan and Bob were also wondering what was going on? I went and started gathering a few things...and a few extra things...and never returned my TW goblin Grenades and went waddling out barely able to carry my load. After the “Command” meeting it was stated my resignation was accepted, Patrica failed her probationary period and was let go. Psimon resigned in protest Bob an Dan sided with Patrica and Psimon and also left! The General came to me and told me on the quiet I would be welcome back any time and gave me a letter of recommendation! He said he was sorry to let my uncle/dad down but he had to side with his wife. MEN!”

“NEW UNIT! Well Patrica decided we were good enough to form a new small merc unit! Psimon agreed of course he loved her. Dan and Bob figured why not? I joined my friends of course figuring we could do things more better and efficiently! Psimon Looted what he could like I did. Patrica had some of the pirate's stuff she never turned over! A HOVER JEEP! WOW! I was made its driver! A few hover cycles for Dan and Bob, Dan and Bob looted what they could to. The quarter master was PO-ed at the Dreamer for being such a bitch over wanting every thing accounted for 5 times over so probably let us getaway with what we could carry. We bandied a few names around and came up with the Ronin! From my Anime we all liked to watch!”

“Ronin Mission One: FOOD FIGHT! We were heading to Merc town and got wind of a job to save a town from a bad person running his Furry Beatles over farmers fields! We arrived and found...we were hired to prod the Furry Beetles away from the fields by fury beetle rancher. Bob and Dan loved it and rode their hover cycles in and out wrangling them. Patrica grew restless. I found a community of spirits having prank wars with the local faeries. ~giggles~ That was fun! Well mission completed when the rancher hired Dan and Bob on permanently to be Furry Beetle wranglers. I got in a cross fire of a fairy food fight! I found myself making out with a Faun...good thing he wasn't a Saytr! So we had our first to official “Losses” who wanted a steady pay check and had fun on their hover cycles. ~sigh~ Why I'll never know!”

Ronin Misson Two. Electric Bugaloo! Some Electro-Zapper was terrorizing a town with a Burster and Juicer. WE were hired to deal with it! We went to the bar to scout things out. In came a trio! I CoAed them! Wrong Trio then in came 3 girls one a juicer. Patrica did and the female Juicer got in a cat fight, Psimon did a little fancy foot work with a TK bubble around us as I CoAed them. They surrendered and then we watched Patrica and the Juicer Angelica fight it out. When it was over the girls decided to leave the town, we tried to collect our pay but then they decided to deduct every thing even parking...so we owed them 123000 credits. So we took direct recompense and left with the mayor's hover limo a nice nuclear powered luxury one. We sold it in the next big town for our fee plus extra expenses and dump the rest in that town's bank account. By the time their sheriff came to try and have us arrested the big lump sum that was found out showed the mayor was corrupt to afford such a limo...and the fact I CoAed him to a lamp post made him think twice about arresting us...and hauling us back. We found the Ronin merc unit was mud...so we change it again! And we still were going to Merc Town and get rich!”

“New Name Mission: Tumblers. Don't know how we came up with that. Guess we were rough and Tumbling are way around...well we signed on sub contract with Crowe's Commandos. I used my letter or recommendation on this one. It was a lot of sneaking around. One of their field people needed help so we were figured “Quality” help...if he only knew... Well we snuck in to some form of out post by some one...invisibility and chameleon spells were handy and and shadow meld. We liberated their compatriot and on getting out Patrica did some thing, she claims a guard found them. Well it was still a good distraction and we got out in their own APC sent out to fight our people. WE took over the APC and had another vehicle. Well till the Crowe Field operative gave us a lump of cash for it. We needed to get out with out leaving tracks so took off in the hover jeep! Crowe put us down as Satisfactory! Yay the letter of Recommendation isn't trashed!” ~toots~ a new year day's horn

“Mission: Black Hawks. Yeah we changed our name again, some one put a bounty on the Tumblers. One who had an inside track who found us was a techie one who didn't count on magic and psionics. Psimon mussed his mind up finding only this one knew who we were...Patrica killed him. I would of as he did try to collect on the dead part of the bounty...so we changed our name and sent a message to Crowe some one really hated them. I got a magic Pigeon with the message. ~THANKS~ Taken Care of.~ Guess they took it personally also. Well we went on heard of a job along the way again. Some thing was killing the towns folks. Well so we decided to take it with our mighty powers! I used my high intelligence to determine a pattern of the killings after finding out who the town thew out a few years ago! Well it was a theory and it worked! We found him! He came in one night...and we caught him in a CoA! Patrica fired a laser blast at him but he just grinned. IT WAS A MURDER WRAITH! “YOUR WEAPONS CANNOT STOP US!” he yelled... as Patricia opened fire with a few bursts from her MP-23A using a mag of silver ammo and it fell over dead. “Well we stopped it!” said Psimon...but I reminded the others “It said US...” just as all heck broke loose! 3 more murder wraiths came about! Some how I was able to CoA one of them! One went for Psimon and Patrica! As one came at me! I parried and its blow as it realized my blade was silver plated and pulled back as a shadowy figure appeared as I thought another one... But it grabed my sword from it and began fighting my attacker! “ITS JUDGE DREAD! BUT HOW!” the one yelled as Dread punched and a slashed my attacker! Patrica's armor was getting battered as Psimon trapped it some what in a TK field bubble as Patrica unloaded a mag in to it. It fell over as Dread finished his off with slash from my vibro katana! “Good Job kids been hunting these for a week. I knew your scooby team would make good bait!” he said with a laugh! We were all confused.”

“Mission In Questionable?: Well we found out Dread quit the same day we did, we both been heading to Merc Town. Psimon looked in awe of Dread...I knew why Judge Dread was a Justicar Cyber Knight who was said to of died of cancer 4 or 6 years ago...he laughed at our what he called bumbling attempts at Mercing but said since we are alive we are head of the curve! “Dreamer been hormonal since she got knocked up by the General. I wasn't going to spend my final time after that last incident...good job gluing her lips...oh people still snicker at that one little Ravie.” he said. And that's about all he said about it. Sure made sense though about her the Dreamer being all extra over protective of ones she considered kids... Dread said he would go with us to the out skirts of Merc Town, he has some unfinished business to do before he left. He did drag me aside that night...literally he was DRUNK! A see aura let me see his drink was magical. “Ravie dear you gave me as much pleasure as my own kid all those years ago...I owed your uncle so made sure you'd survived...don't question why...but I'm on Last Call...I got a few things to do. For any one who asks...I was dying...a natural disease, your grand mother said her healing lodge not work...but your uncle suggested trying Mega Juicer treatment...I turned down dragon Juicer from a dragon who thought I'd be perfect...but MEGA Juicer...how that slip my mind...so I figured and try it...it gave me 6 more years Ravie...6 years of extra life to go do what I needed to do yet. You gave me the excuse to finish it girl...don't question what it is...” he then burped and passed out...he seemed to have a glow about him...”

“Missions REP BOOSTERS! Along the way we did some smaller jobs with Dread with us the old magic was back! Patrica was able to LEARN PATIENCE from Dread...man that must of almost killed him there! We zipped through CS areas thanks to the hover jeep. Dread knew some areas their patrols kept clear of. We helped Dread with some of the “Things” he needed to be done. A mystic knight...he almost did Dread in till a AP grenade from my rig took him down...man he was tough! One of Dread's old contacts a Goqua...an old friend of his...helped us take out a Dragon Mage Demon and a Sun Demon...man that new sword of Dread from that Mystic Knight sure could hack fast in the hands of a Juicer! A Death Bringer not needing any charging for the blade...after that the Black Hawks had a Great Rep Start! Even if our repairs to our armor and hiring some extra guns made us only break even...”

“Misision MERC TOWN! WE MADE IT?: At Merc town we made it there sort of, we ran across a merc unit called “THE UNIT” and we joined up! It seemed perfect for us! Dread just shrugged and thanked us for the help. We soon were doing what we thought we were best at! We mostly kept against tech oriented units using our magical abilities. We did some organized demon busting, monster hunting just like the old days all those few months ago! Whoot! We soon found ourselves being the “EXPERIENCED” ones finally! No more kiddy patrols and every thing we were the HOT SHOTS! THE NUMERO UNOS! THE TOP CANIUS LUPUS! We were on top of our game! To bad THE UNIT wasn't...”

“Mission RUNAWAY AND HIDE!: Well the UNIT got caught flat footed to the Federation of Magic force...seems some demons we were taking out were summoned by some FoM high lord or some thing...and they hit the UNIT from with in scattering it every where. A CS spy must have been in there as soon as contact with the FoM forces...CS Death Heads unleashed areal drops of SAMAS and Sky Cycles with war planes hitting any thing on the ground. Good thing we were on forward Recon! The Unit got hit by portals out of the rift...they should of listened to their shifter some thing was wrong with that ley line! Well on our own again time to change our name again and head to Merc Town...again...” ~sigh~

“Mission Merc Town FINNALY!: “Well we made it to Merc Town I'm off in the magic quarter here...hope the others are having luck finding us some work. Man the cost of spells! Some mages offer me free teaching for SEX! I WOULD NEVER DO THAT! I noticed my noticeables got bigger...well back at the hover jeep here waiting for the others to return!
“Nope not back yet getting dark.”
“Where are they? Did they shack up again and do that yecchy thing they been doing lately!” disgusted tone.
“Midnight...no one came around...where are they? They promised I could sleep in a hotel room! May as well go to a bar catch the local news.”
“Oh the spirts...they are dead...I saw them die on the news...some street gang riding hover cycles killed them for getting in the way! News footage and witnesses said one of the those called Mephisto's horsemen tried to run off with Patricia who she killed. Seems a 3rd in command...decided she needed to be made an example of...they activated tattoos like sploogie minons do...and rode at them...Patrica killed two more and Psimon froze and killed 3 of the tattoed ones but a conservator came out and struck them both down..from behind...the TV station was bombed...confusion in the streets now...time for hunting and revenge...” numb yet cold tone of voice at end.

“Mission: Vengeance or Death...yes as it sounds thats my intention. This is going to be a long log or short...first recon find out who and what they are then set things for their end...”
“Day one of recon complete found the ambush site. I got my gear in to the city..no problem no one thinks to check people for invisible bags much. Some people got me in touch with some locals...Red Terror...meeting one tonight.”
“Met the local said my friends died bravely and inspired the people in the area take out any on comers from the horsemen...they at least died not in vain... like I'm going to do. He think's I'm crazy...Graz a new 3rd in command trying to make a name for himself and a conservator blew a lot of the Horseman's Cover it seems. I'm going big game hunting...got some grenades that may help!”
“Damn Dread he saw the news too and wiped out my Goblin Grenade supply! And took our Fusion Blocks! He left a note he's going big game hunting and not to risk my life doing so...when Dread says's he's going hunting...watch out...his note read ~Ravie, got some of my kids to avenge and finish my work before final call. Stay out of this, vengeance can get in the way of the Job. ~ Right Dread...like I'm going to sit on my ass and let you have the fun! They were my friends to!” sarcastic anger voice.
“ Seems Dread told the locals about a Loco girl...but they are looking the other way, when that TV station blew...they don't' seem to mind letting people go after them...I lost them or they didn't want to follow me to closely...found a new source...might be CS or Black Market who cares...they see me as a loose cannon that might do their dirty work...I don't care...they gave me free a few cylinders of AP grenades for trade of the frags....seems they want to keep local damage down...they pointed me in the right direction...I'm probably some one's bait...but I'm numb and want vengeance...not my people's way but...I lost family and it hurts!”
“Found Dread...he's glowing some what...he wants me to keep him invisible...he said if he had more time I he would not needed my help...oh here he comes he wants some thing.”
“Damn Dread gave me a knock out drink...his note says ~Got an AGE spell amulet, a gift for me to chose when I end my life, keep away from me Rav...I'm burning things now.~ He's in last weeks of last call...oh some thing on the down load...he beamed a message...oh god...no no....why do all my friends have to die...I'll put it in this log...in order...note the edit marks...I have to see if its my turn to go...” cold emotionless tone in the end
~IMAGE~ Hover cycles running around an alley, noise can be heard of occasional shots and screams then site of a Highlord and a Conservator come out as a body falls in front of them “I been looking for you...your not the one the Oger must be yours...” Dread can be heard off camera as the Highlord looks up “DREAD...thought you were dead.” as the Conservator is about to leap as both get caught in a TW CoA goblin grenade! “Killed them all but your little pet OGER!” as Dread jumps down among them slashing the high lord's throat with the Death Bringer as the Conservator tries to grapple him! All fall in the sticky goo! “Your boss not going to like your bungling things” Dread says as they see he's a mega juicer in last call! “I see you found a way to get around the disease we gave you...” the Conservator chortles as Dread with one free hand keeps slashing the High Lord and Conservator “He's not the creator of the horsemen so he's a pawn.” Dread says to the conservator as they both trade blows...damaging both...then the Conservator finally understands the Highlord...don't kill a Mega-Juicer in last call at close range! Then...Dread slashes the Highlord one last time and throws the sword asside “For the Red Terror!” he laughs as taking his amulet out activating it! “I AM JUDGE DREAD! I AM THE LAW! AND I SENTENCE YOU TWO TO DEATH!” he yells as the age spell brings him to the end...just as 2 other fusion blocks go off...concealed in the CoA...vaporizing the Highlord and Conservator. A crowd comes...some one picks up the sword and leaves the camera view. ~Image Fades~
“Might be last entry, hope I can add Dread's final battle...I forwarded it to the news stations...so all may know how Dread died. He deserves that much. Coward Red Terror got Dread's sword...I'll respect his last wishes...one left an Oger...guess Dread saved him for me...or saw his chance at the two big ones and went for it. Locals say no more Horsemen but one...but more on the way have to hunt fast...should be easy to find... a local spirit is guiding me...not one of my people's one of their victims...seeing invisible some times is a big help.”
“Voice activated Log in case this survives. The spirit shows me he's in a dead end alley...~spell casting~ “invisibility... chameleon, shadow meld up, and aura reading..*Whisper tone* “I see a banshee...it senses its fear...aww...its aura its low on mystical energies...from fighting my friends...aww he's looking around for me he hears my whispers...he seems reluctant to activate some thing....~spell casting~ Yes thats a simple carpet of adhesion...poor oger can't move can he? There is a banshee here to awaiting your end...”MY MEN WILL SEE YOU DEAD!” ~oger yelling~ “They are dead...all dead...your master dead...my friends died killing them...now your dead...~sounds of Laser impacts~ “Dont' like lasers...oh you saved your big field...and I see your out of power...I got LOTS of E-clips...~Sounds of continuous laser fire and AP Grenades~ “Oh your bleeding now...poor Graz let me cauterize that!” ~more laser fire impacts and screaming and roaring~ “Aww...oops I killed him to soon. ~BANSHEE wailing heard as it FEEDS~ “Leaving now...think I'll go have a drink.”
“At the bar...a man came to me...he introduced himself to me as Bob...a friend of Dread. Turns out he was the Goqua we worked with. Told me he'll miss Dread, he offered to help but Dread wanted to finish his work himself. He did say he found a spirit looking for some one to avenge her and sent her my way. It wasn't Patricia he said she and Psimon moved on to where spirits go... He said he finds humans fascinating and his best friends have been mortals. He was a bit condescending but he meant well I guess. He told me Dread said to live for myself now and don't let this keep me back...find some thing else to do...with that Bob left with a smile remembering Dread. This part of my life is over. Bob Gave Dread's message...I'm going to take it. Maybe I can find some other Job.”

“END OF LOGS: I am ending the logs, I'll keep this one to remind me in my old age...and sending a copy Demon Busters so they can send it to Patrica's and Psimon's familys.

Well time to see what else the world has out for...THE RAVEN!”
