PART 2
FBI Meta Human Dept, Steel Canyon, Copper District 11:42 hours, GMT
Sandra Bowman sat in her office looking at a pile of documents on the floor. Normally she was a very organised individual. Everything in her office was in alphabetical order, stacked neatly and accessible. If anyone walked into her office now they would think shes either had a fight with someone or was in the middle of a nervous breakdown.
No matter how many times she read over her notes, reports and gathered documents she couldnt believe such a man was ever allowed to exist. At first she thought she was chasing ghosts from WWII and thought it was a simple profile of another escaped Villain.
She has put together countless profiles of Meta Villains for over 5 years for the FBI and has helped track down some of the most notorious villains in Paragon but right now she wished she was doing some simple paper pushing office work.
God I wish Id never gone to Europe
she said out loud to herself. She was doing this more and more since her return.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door!
Sandra, you there? It was special agent Terry Kirk. Terry walked into Sandras office and was shocked to see the mess it was in. Sandra you ok? Whats going on everyones been worried about you.
Its ok Terry, Ive just been a little busy for the last few days. This profile is
Sandra stopped and looked down and the photos on the floor. Terry noticed what she was looking at and pick up some of the files.
What the hell have they got you looking into Sandra? Terry went white as he looked through the photos. I thought you were doing a profile on an escaped Villain not a murder enquiry.
I am
this is his handy work while escaping! replied Sandra. Wolfgang Kaiser, AKA, General Bismarck, an old world war two general who has been hidden from the public in Tanais Asylum located in Volgograd, Germany for over 68 years. Seven days ago he escaped and killed all 37 staff and 16 inmates.
My God, why the hell would we get involved in a case like this?
Because of the organisation he works for
The Bismarck A.X.I.S. A secret organisation believed to be a myth. Im not privy to all the facts. I was just asked to start putting a profile together for Agent Bennett, I was told hed escaped from this Asylum in Germany and told to get on a flight as soon as possible to get as much information as possible on the guy.
Yeah, that reminds me did you get my mail about this Midnight Cowboy Bennetts got in custody. I overheard him mention something about Bismarck and remembered you telling about this trip to Europe for this Bismarck character and put two and two together
I wished I never went Terry. The Asylum was something from an old horror movie. The walls were socked in blood still. The smell was
on my god I can still smell it. Sandra was about to start crying but managed to pull herself together.
Did you manage to find anything out? Terry asked.
Nothing from any of the government officials, hes been hidden from everyone for so long they've all forgotten about him. Some of the psychiatric doctors and staff spent most of their working careers, even life assessing him. His psychiatric file was massive. 68 years worth. This is whats on my floor now. Those photos youve got there are what the Germany military took when they got on the scene of the massacre.
They just gave you his file? I thought they would have wanted to keep this under wraps.
It took some persuasion but I managed to get some human rights acts thrown at their government for keeping him locked up for so long and keeping it a secret. The conditions he was kept in were so inhumane.
He deserved it from the sounds of it. Terry looked puzzled at Sandras caring remark for a cold blooded killer.
No one deserves this treatment. Its possible these conditions would have caused a further breakdown in his fragile mental state. If hed been made public and help like any mentally ill person it might have been different for him.
I think you should hand everything over to Bennett and drop the profile Sandra. Ive never seen you in this state before. It obviously too much for you.
Sandra knew Terry was only trying to look out for her, they had known each other since the academy, but she knew there was more to this investigation than Bennett was letting onto.
I understand what your trying to say Terry, but I know this A.X.I.S. has been up to something in Paragon and with Bismarcks escape I want to make sure Ive got all the facts right before handing anything over.
Ok I understand. Your not one for letting things go, but you need to do your bit and cut yourself off before
well I hate to say it but you look like your heading for a breakdown.
I know, I know. I just need to follow up on one lead I managed to find. It might help with the whole profile puzzle. I managed to find an old Dawn Patrol report. It mentions something about a secret mission lead by Captain Patriot and the Patriot Brigade. It seems this Captain Patriot was the one responsible for Bismarcks capture back in 1941.
Captain Patriot, yeah I know the guy. He came to Paragon after a spell of inactivity as a cape about a year ago. Set-up a new Patriot Brigade, he recently disappeared again but has been spotted back on the scene. The Brigades headquarters Patriot Towers in located in Independence Port.
Brilliant, Ill see if I can get in contact with him
Terry, I know its a lot to ask for but can you see if you can get anymore information on Bennetts current investigation on the A.X.I.S. and this Midnight Cowboy.
Ill try but Bennetts a tough one to get close to. Terry looked worried as he spoke If he finds out I snooping around, hell go ape.
Thanks Terry, I really appreciate it, youve always been there for me. Sandra hugged Terry
And I always will. He let get of Sandras hand and he left her office.
Sandra continued to look at the files on the floor.
Snap out of it girl, maybe this Captain Patriot can shed some light on General Bismarck. Sandra thought to herself.
This was a post I started months ago in a roleplay thread but never got the chance to finish. I liked the direction it was going so have changed the concept behind how the story started and a few characthers.

PART 1 -
[THE COMPUTER SCREEN SCANS THROUGH HUNDREDS OF NEW REPORTS]
[SMALL ALERT SOUNDS AND SCREEN STOPS WITH FBI Report #2142540]
Patriot Guardsman lifts the blast shield from his face and switches off the blow torch, looking at screen. On the worktable is a half finished robot.
Guardsman walks to the computer console and scans the report. His eyes spot BISMARCK A.X.I.S. and immediately grabs his communicator from the table.
[THE AIREWAVES OPEN WITH A HISS]
Patriot Guardsman to Captain Patriot do you copy commands Guardsman.
[ ]
Suddenly the channel bursts open with a wall of sound, fighting can be heard in the background.
Im a little busy Guardsman, can it wait for 10 minutes! shouts Captain Patriot.
Confirmed, but I thought you might want to know that the computer scan has picked up a non-encrypted communication within the local FBI authorities. It mentions BISMARCK A.X.I.S.
Thanks Guardsman, hopefully this is the lead weve been looking for. Ill finish this up now, tired of playing with these Sky Raiders. Ill be back at Patriot Towers as soon as I can
Roger, over and out Captain
[15 minutes later]
Captain Patriot walks into Patriot Guardsmans workshop. Guardsman is still sat at the computer console.
What have you found asks Cpt Patriot.
This is the internal report from the FBI, non-encrypted. Ive been gathering information about this Billy Midnight A.K.A Midnight Cowboy and Jessica Bowman
Captain Patriot scans over the report and profile information of the Midnight Cowboy.
Theres no definite link with the BISMARCK A.X.I.S. but its a start. Ill start with this Midnight Cowboy; see if I can get any more information from him. Replies Cpt Patriot. Can you get in contact with The Zigs Chief and get me clearance. I also need to know who the investigating officer is who captured him and who this Jessica Bowman is, if shes also investigating the A.X.I.S. she might be putting herself at unnecessary risk, but might have something useful we can use as a lead
Captain Patriot flies out of the window exit of Patriot Towers and heads towards the Zig.
