Actually, not to be picky, but I think that should be MANILA.
Carry on.

The quiet woman with the strange demeanor in the Praetorian Police armor walks into the Paragon PD station calmly. She looks as though she can feel the angry stares of people that blame all Praetorians for the acts of some. She walks in despite that, every motion precise and sharp, but clearly not a military bearing.
She can feel those stares, in the most literal sense. And the recent invasion, using nothing less than Hamidon itself doesn't make them any more inclined to help her. But she has a job, and they have orders, she walks directly to the lieutenant in charge of evidence storage "There is a video that you received. I'm here to examine it" she says softly, her words clipped, speaking efficiently. "I have all the necessary credentials"
He glares at her for a moment, and then tosses the video down on the desk "Takes a lot to come in here looking like that, after what alla you done last week" he growls.
"I'm sorry." she says softly, removing her armored gauntlets so she can touch the cassette directly "But not all of us are the monsters you've seen, and I want to show another way is possible."
"So...what d'you think about this Nadya, you think she can do that?" he asks, as he puts a cigar into his mouth. He leaves it unlit, since its a non-smoking area, though the heavy smell of air-freshener seems to indicate that sometimes, on slow days its only a non-smoking area if he's not caught.
"If she were, I most likely would not be allowed to tell you." she says, trying to read the leftover impressions of the people that touched it, and, possibly the places that item had been "Now please let me concentrate" she says, her eyes fixating on the object for a few, long minutes, until she finally breaks her concentration. "I'll write up a report about what I learned shortly, but I'm sure that I found nothing new about where its been that your Psi-Cops didn't find"
He looks perplexed and annoyed, and takes the cigar out of his mouth "You mean I had to make time out of my day...for one of YOU?", he grumbles, his voice becoming louder with every word "And YOU can't do nuthin' we haven't?"
"I said I don't think I learned anything new about where it had been, I think I may have a bit more about her personality though." she replies, her voice still as soft and calm "I haven't met her personally myself, but we share...a...very close acquaintance." her tone sounding slightly ironic "That would give me a better ability to read her than others would have. Good day, Lieutenant.", she says, turning on her heel and walking out with the same precise motion.
Later, she holds a small steel marble, imprinting her "report" to Mot...Sister Psyche into it, so that she can deliver her report back without having see anyone resembling Mother, much less feel that mind. Even though she knows that Mother and Sister Psyche are possibly the most different of all of the Praetorian analogues, she just wants to avoid her for now.

Echoed. Not sure how this developed, as I haven't actually RP'ed with Nadya yet, only seen her VV. But awesome.

Quinton Vance watches for a moment. "Meh." He says as he tucks a previously lit cigarette between his lips and leans back on his couch.
"Same sh*t...different shovel."
All in all, he wasn't impressed. Then again, was he ever? After a moment of contemplation, he reached toward the pistol on the coffee table. Then, he reached past it and changed the channel.
"Tha' Detroit Lions are five an' 0? Huh."
"People who take offense to IC actions OOCly need to learn to differentiate between the two... Or change their damn meds."
(So, maintenance on the servers. Figure I'd pass the time and write something up to hopefully spark a bit of RP in game. It's by no means perfect or of epic caliber. But it was fun to write. Hope it's fun to read as well!)
As the logo for Paragon News at 5 fades and the camera pans in on anchorwoman Trisha Kent, the woman gives a few taps of her stack of papers on her desk and focuses in on the camera. An almost unnoticeable clearing of her throat was given before she read from the teleprompter. Good evening and welcome to Paragon News at 5. Im Trisha Kent and this is whats happening. She paused and turned to face a different camera as the angle was changed. Tonights top story comes from Atlas Park City Hall where officials found an unmarked vanilla envelope with a VHS tape inside of it. Officials said that the tape was made by no other than criminal mastermind Naughty Nadya. We now go live to Steven Grimes outside of City Hall. Steven?
The camera cuts to a live feed of the reporter standing outside the building in a sea of other reporters and police officers. Good evening Trisha. Chilling reports are coming from the police department about the video, which was apparently addressed to our beloved Ms. Liberty personally. In just a few moments, the Police Chief will issue a statement about the video. In the mean time, Paragon News has received a copy of the video. Have a look.
The screen fades to black before the tape starts. When it does, there is an empty white room. The only distinguishing features about it was an industrial cement floor and a poster of the popular Ms. Liberty hanging on the back wall. There was a large red X sprayed on with red spray paint through the poster. Nothing seemed to happen for a few moments. Then Nadya appeared on screen. Standing in the middle of the room, wearing her classic black costume decorated with white skull and ribcage bone patterns, the villain folded her arms across her chest and took a very defiant pose for the camera.
I hope I am not interrupting. I'm sure you and Grandpa are busy licking your wounds after that whole Galaxy City fiasco. It must have been devastating to watch as your city burned, helpless to stop the onslaught of meteors and Shivans as they ripped through the streets and buildings, killing thousands in the process. I'm almost saddened that it wasn't me responsible for such havoc and suffering. But there will be time for that in the upcoming months.
To think I tried to turn the other cheek just to be closer to you. Surrounded myself with those pompous Capes. Their stench still lingers in the air when I think about it, making me choke on my own vomit as I suppress the urge to hurl at what I did for a school girl crush. It is your fault I'm trapped here, hunted like an animal by Vindicators, Freedom Phalanx, Arachnos, and many up and coming Capes trying to make a name for themselves. I'm here to tell you that I am fed up with it.
If it wasn't for you and your measly existence, I would still be in Praetoria, still at Praetor Duncan's side, wielding power I could only dream of. It's funny. I still remember when they called her Dominatrix. I was there when 'Emperor Cole' received news about this peon of a planet 'Earth Prime.' I was there when Praetor Duncan saw you for the first time. I remember the sadistic grin on her face when she gave the order for your capture. I have to admit, I was excited myself.
Even after the events that conspired, even after your safe return home, your told your lackeys to hunt me. You should have stopped me when you had the chance. That head start you gave me in return for bringing you back will prove to be your biggest mistake. Even as you listen to this, plans are in place that will give me the power I rightfully deserve, power you stole from me, power I will harness to ultimately destroy you and everyone you ever cared about. And there is nothing you can do to stop me.
After I am through with Praetor Duncan, Emperor Cole, and all of their piss poor excuses for henchmen, I am coming for you. I am coming for you with the power of Gods. No man, woman, or child will stand in my way. So help me if they do. The death toll will be catastrophic . It will dwarf the events in Galaxy City. Each soul will weigh heavily on your conscious because I will declare my war with you as the enemy. My turmoil started with you. It will end with you dead at my feet.
You gave me this awful name to the papers. I would have gladly taken Nefarious, Notorious, hell even Nasty. But you gave it such little thought and went with Naughty. God how I hate that name. Well, it's time to show you just how naughty Nadya can be. I hope you're ready. I'd hate for you to go down without a fight. See you soon Ms. Liberty.
The camera cuts back to Trisha in the studio. Chilling indeed Steven. Well return right after these messages from our sponsors with a statement from the police chief in regards to the threats made against Ms. Liberty in this horrific video. Stay tuned to Paragon News as this story develops."
