Seriously?

xp_daytripperWhat the fuck is going on? First Doug, then Wade, and I've just gotten word from the firecracker that she and Kurt were shot this morning. Nothing lethal - whoever this is isn't going for the kill shots, at least, not yet, but this can't keep going. Who are these fuckers and where are they so we can go righteous bloody fury on their arses?
xp_daytripperJust got word from Angie - Doug's been shot. In the shoulder and he's fine for the moment, but they're not sure who's responsible. Most likely suspect is the Assassin's Guild - they still have that contract out on him.
More when I have it - I've let the leather brigade know too, in case it's another attack on them instead.

Book Launch in NPC tonight
Oct. 28th, 2014 01:00 pmxp_daytripperHave we got eyes on this book launch for the Longshot bloke tonight? Some of the kids from the mansion are going, and since he's been popping up a lot lately, and we should probably have someone there. If only to stop the inevitable disaster that having several Xavier's kids in one spot will create.
I would, only I'm tied up with the Occult Network tonight. We're doing a teleconference and comparing notes on the recent demon-related shite.

Well, that could have gone better
Oct. 11th, 2014 02:38 pmxp_daytripperThe mission last night wasn't exactly a success, tho' we managed to score some information on Holocaust and his operation. Artie's cover was made, so we had to extract him, and worst of all, we weren't able to get Hope out. Laurie wasn't even there.
Time to pass this on.

x-artie.livejournal.comI've got you an in. Holocaust is holding a party in a couple of days time.
My cover is still holding. I'll be there, barring disasters. His set mingle with Emma's.
You'll be able to take him down through that.
I have to go, but I'll upload all the Intel I've got onto the server tonight.
(no subject)
Oct. 3rd, 2014 08:19 amx-artie.livejournal.comI've located Hope and Laurie.
They're being held by Holocaust. The group is as professional as we expected. High security, well armed, paranoid as fuck. Report is attached - all my intel, layouts, anything else I've been able to see and memorise.
I'm still undercover and I haven't been made yet.
An extraction won't be easy and I don't know that you'll be able to get someone else in touch with the group if we don't manage it - and if we fail, Hope, Laurie and me are all dead.
Successful or not, we get one chance at this. I don't think we'll be able to get this close to Holocaust again.
And to continue the no news...
Sep. 28th, 2014 08:36 pmxp_daytripperI've done the location spell thing for Laurie and for Hope, but no clear results. Maybe somewhere in Europe? Wherever they are, it's not in a city big enough for my radar. I'll keep trying, tho'.
x-cypher.livejournal.comLooks like I barked up the wrong tree regarding Porter - Wade and I tracked down a guy who said that Porter's been out of commission for a solid month recovering from a broken limb or whatever.
I guess that makes sense, since they were grabbed from Hope's trip home, and who could have known Laurie would accompany her. Meh, logic.
I did a deep scrub of Hope's computer. She went home to visit a friend (Amy Wright). Her computer showed a lot of activity prior to the disappearance on the forums of an organization called the Forum for Genetic Harmony. It also seems that Ms. Wright has gone traveling since Laurie and Hope's disappearance.
I'm going to guess that she's involved somehow, and that's the next thread to be tracked.

Artie, a moment of your time, please?
Sep. 23rd, 2014 08:06 pmx-scarletwitch.livejournal.comThis is a follow up to Remy's post regarding 'Holocaust', who appears to be a person and not an organization. We're still attempting to nail down more information but we've determined that we will need to insert someone to be able to find out much more about this. Whoever this is has been very good at covering up their trail but not good enough for us not to start connecting the dots between them and the blackmarket organ trade.
After talking it over, Artie we think you would be the perfect person to go undercover for this assignment. I am actually in the office for this, so perhaps a few of us should meet to go over the particulars?
I am also in desperate need of being brought up to speed on, well, almost literally everything else, so I'll provide dinner.

Son of a bitch.
Sep. 21st, 2014 07:52 pmx-cypher.livejournal.comLaurie Collins and Hope Abbott are missing, and from what Kyle Gibney just told me on the phone, they're not showing up on Cerebro either. Last information puts them in Michigan - Laurie was accompanying Hope home for the weekend, and they did check in from there when they arrived.
Obviously I'm biased given my relationship with Laurie, and I know we've got some items going right now, but any help finding them would be appreciated.
(I swear to god, I am going to end that piece of slime Porter.)

Research Job
Sep. 18th, 2014 03:23 pmx-gambit.livejournal.comOne of our contacts in Madripoor just dropped a new name in the mutant organ trafficking game. Anyone heard of a person or group using 'Holocaust'? According to our source, it's a very private, secure vendor who provides high quality and no entanglements. The name is tasteless enough to appeal to HYDRA, and Von Strucker was in the game a few years ago. If they're expanding out, it has to be funding something else.
I want a couple of people digging into this. Even if there is no connection to HYDRA, this isn't some fly-by-night mutant chopshop kidnapping homeless mutants to harvest kidneys. It's organized, intelligent and has the resources to do it properly. Which is what worries me.

x-artie.livejournal.comSo, I'm sure you've all had a chance to read my report on Ishmael, the guy from my art classes. (Go to art school! Learn about the postmodern political implications of destroying the establishment through the use of dayglo pink resin recreations of pre-900CE metalwork! And then get almost eaten by chalk monsters!)
Yeah, I might have bitched about it a little already. Tough. I liked those shoes. And they were ruined. Which should be a warning about checking in with Xavier's kids on their field trips ever again.
I had a chat with him as his friend after he woke up yesterday, because yo, the only two guys in the freshie painting program are both mutants and hey, bonding times are fun for everyone.
He's awake. He's lucid enough to be pissed as hell that he's missing some classes and he's aware of what's happened and where he is.
In addition, he looks like he had a stroke. Ish's being discharged to a private hospital for rehab because CAT scan and MRI show that he hasminor brain damage to his Brodmann Areas 18 and 19. Apparently, he's lucky not to be blind and his powers have gone completely out of control.
I got a look at his medical files when the doc was out of the room - records are attached because I wasn't going to try to summarise it. I've also included a transcript of our interview - I used the synthesiser so that I could get it all on tape.

Well this is familiar and horrible.
Sep. 12th, 2014 05:45 pmx-tarot.livejournal.comAn associate of mine from New Orleans just sent me a summary of some autopsy sheets from a colleague of his from outside the country. In the last month, there have been two multiple-corpse body dumps that their office has processed. All mutants, some of whom were healing from organ excavation before being decapitated.
He is sending the full data via one of those complicated systems Cypher has setup, so we should have it shortly.
If this is what it looks like, I think we should focus on this - it could be a break in the mutant organ smuggling ring we have been looking for ... for literally as long as I have worked here.

Report on today
Aug. 4th, 2014 09:10 pmxp_daytripperNow the kids are off home and Angie's got the kettle going, official type stuff:
1) The demon that possessed Tandy was the 'father' of the same one that took her last time. 'S called "The Dweller in the Dark", in suitably pretentious form.
1a) The possession ritual was done in Italy - I had some pings from the network about a major magical disruption over there, but they told me they had it covered.
2) The Dweller's back where it belongs. D'Spayre went with it, as far as I can tell, and Spite is little bitty pieces all over the Empire State observation deck.
3) The "Shades" that were attacking people are all gone, returned to the people they were dragged out of.
4) That New Jersey fucking sea cave from the stone scorpion attack the other year has cropped up again - Namor and Sue got teleported back to it with some kind of staff. I have the staff now and I'll be doing some serious work on things - there's definitely some kind of connection between Namor and the magic from this cave and I don't like how it keeps coming up.
5)Tandy's none the worse for wear, but I'll be watching her for any residual demon issues.
6) Our "friend" Brand and a couple of her SWORD agents were there as well. We had to use them to deal with things, but I used Namor as a cover and used the city to hide us all when things settled. I don't think she got much of a look at me, but she knows the kids are from Xavier's. We might have to do damage control if she tries to use it against the school, but considering we saved her arse from a total clusterfuck, I think she'll let this one go for now. Still, something to keep an eye on.
7) I'll have full updates on everything in the system tomorrow.

x-tarot.livejournal.comMost of us who went to Washington DC yesterday are going to be out of the office today. Amanda is asleep. She snores a bit. I have not slept and am not suffering migraines but only out of the benefit of pain medication. I do not believe Nico or Wanda are coming into the office, and I certainly hope that if Remy tries, Ororo will perhaps I do not want to know what Ororo will do.
There will be a lengthier report once we are recovered, but the shortest and simplest version is that the hotel that Jean was checked into was possessed by a demon. It was destroyed, we escaped, not without substantial exhaustion and other effects.
I also apologize for the crayon on the table in the break room. It seems I had one of my moments.

x-gambit.livejournal.comOroro and I are going out of town for the weekend. Don't break anything, blow anything up, or burn anything down while we're gone.
MA, schedule an appointment with Arthur Maddicks for next week. Drop a line to Lowenstein's office as well; tell him we have business to discuss.

xp_daytripperWe've got a situation with the kids in the city, involving alternate-dimension creepoids called Slendermen. So I'm calling in a rescue team - Wanda, Jubes, Doug, Remy, Nico and Marie-Ange. You all have experience with alternate dimensions and/or magic woo-woo shite. Meet you at the front of the office building in ten - we need to move on this now.
x-cypher.livejournal.comFor those of you who weren't part of the rescue team, a summation.
The Xavier's highschoolers were all in town on a volunteer day when they were attacked and kidnapped by Slendermen. Yes, the Slendermen from the internet meme. They are in fact real. If you find yourself wondering about that, please see a handy telepath and one of us.
(I swear, this job is terrible on my collection of pop culture stuff to joke about in the office)
Anyways, Madelyne Pryor was able to break out of the psychic whammy and come to me and Amanda for help. We got them all rescued safely and back through a portal from whatever astral hideaway they take their prey to.
A more thorough write-up of the Slendermen and their capabilities will be in the files in the morning. Somehow I doubt they'll try sticking their necks out at us again, though. Remy pretty well terrified them.
All's well that ends in zero casualties for the good guys. And now, time for me to get my beer on and celebrate the return of hockey.

Going AWOL
Dec. 27th, 2012 11:53 amxp_daytripperJust a head's up - I'll be going to this chalet thing the Professor is running for New Year's, along with Nico. I need some down time after the stunt with Artie and a chance to get to know my kids out of the class.
I'll be gone from the 30th to the 2nd and I'll have my phone on me if you need me, tho' I won't be able to 'port.
