((This topic is for the currently running player story arc Project SALAMANDER, run by yours truely and Dark_Stone.))
1: It began in Pocket D a week or two ago, when Number Nine chatted to Colie and Sword of Truth about Crey Industries and the location of the original Nadia Forrester. Nene gave the couple the details of Crey's offshore research complex on the Nerva Archapeligo.
2: Number Nine, using her time and space altering abilities, broke into a Crey Biotech research department to use their secure access terminal and search for if they did indeed have Nadia Forrester at the site. Interrupted by alarms, Number Nine activated a dimensional incursion to escape the base, leaving the data accessed on the computer.
3: The cause of the alarm was Guardians of Destiny member Dark Stone, checking up on a tip from his contact. Getting past base security, Jared accessed the computer terminal, which had nearly timed out on its secure connection, and was able to find data on a project Crey had been working on for a year, with notes about an 'unwilling' test subject, but before he could investigate more the connection timed out and died.
4: At Pocket D, a Crey Field agent, Karl Darrens turned up, slightly inhebriated from drinking earlier and muttered about his job and co-workers, and conditions at his workplace. Dark Stone caught glimpses of promising information from Karl's mumbling.
5: Seeking to get the information out of Karl, Dark Stone enlisted the aid of young heroine Elaine Sarkin, who under the disguse of a young villainess named Elena, started to charm the information out of Karl, including details on a project of what Elaine dubbed 'super regeneration', and a case of someone's arm getting cut off and growing back 4 hours later. After flirting the information out of him, Elena used her seductive charm to get Karl to head home and handcuff himself to the bed in wait for her.
6: Once having got the information from Elaine, Dark Stone travelled to Port Oakes to the address given by Karl, to find him suffering a severely broken arm, several bullet holes to the genitals and his eyes removed and placed in a glass of whiskey by the bed. Jared took the glass and left Karl where he laid dead.
7: At that moment, a Crey Killteam consisting of a Paragon Protector, 2 Crisis Units and a trio of Vigilants arrived to dispose of Dark Stone. Fighting back, Jared took down the six and took the PP's mask as proof. A check of them showed they had no forms of ID, betraying their intent as being there solely to kill Jared, and apartment was missing any work related documents. Jared headed back to Pocket D.
8:At Pocket D, Jared explained to Elaine, his girlfriend Jane Darc, Tower of Power, Cogs and Mileena Lim about his findings, and using her unique brand of magic used one of Karl's eyes as a replacement for her own to see what Karl saw in his last moments. They had a face to the name of Doctor Andrea Michaels, the apparently super strong, and definetly vindictive and possessive scientist working on the project.
9: The next day, a Paragon Protector came to Pocket D, with a description and the name of Elena, clashing with Dark Stone and other heroes. Violence almost broke out between the Protector and Jared, the two throwing threats between them before finally, after pressing Pix and Red Commissar for information on Elena, he departed.
10:Vigilant Xhei was at Pocket D the next night, drinking heavily as she mourned for the loss of Karl Darrens, albeit not seriously. She griped about how his stupidity in telling all to a 'tart in spandex' has made hers and others jobs much harder.
11:On Sunday, another Paragon Protector turned up, observing Dark Stone and The Telepath, before asking if anyone knew Elena, saying she had an important message for her. When Jared gave her the address of Karl Darrens' appartment, the woman leaned over and whispered to Jared to meet her at the base of the slope.
12:Meeting up, the Paragon Protector started to speak. When pressed for her reason of why she was helping. It seems she had somehow broken some of the Paragon Protector mental conditioning, enough to the point where she realised should the project be complete, she would be a liability, a lose end. And in Crey, that means you're dead.
The project finally had a name. Project SALAMANDER, part of a series of projects to give Crey-chosen candadates metahuman abilities and subliminal training, as Project Revenant Hero was begining to get too well known among experienced heroes, putting the pressure on Crey. She let Jared know that the operation had moved from the base on Nerva, and that it had been rigged to detonate if Jared and the others arrived. Jared told her that he had Elena placed in The Nexus, and that getting in there would be very difficult, seeing as they lack that much knowledge in the magical realm. The Paragon Protector gave Jared a name as her final piece of information, Andrew Varr.
13: With her information given, she confessed that her methods of scrambling the tracking and survelience bugs in her may not have worked, and Jared offered to take her into protective custordy with Freedom Corps. Just as she was about to accept, it became apparent that she may have been right, or some remains of her subliminal program may have drove her to jump off the slope into the abyss of the Shadow Shard. Jared was able to grab her and cram her into the Nexus, before taking her to Freedom Corps.
((Those who wish to get involved and work on the plot can contact my characters (Jane Darc, Number Nine) or Dark_Stone's (Dark Stone). Possible paths to investigate are:
The name of Andrew Varr.
Talking to the Paragon Protector in Custordy.
Investigating Crey secure terminals to try and get information, with or without assistance.
Information on Dr. Andrea Michaels.
Though if there is something you would like to check up on, a PM or Tell works wonders.))
