Good evening vieuwers from around the world.

A few weeks ago the police arrested an abortian activist who was also membver of a cell of satanists who ritualy killed childeren.

The last fact was confessed by her and she volunteerd to aid the police in arresting the childmurderers. However during this operation she alerted the satanists and a hard fight followed. During this fight she escaped over the border.

Our goverment warns anybody who sees her to alert your local police at once. She is extremely dangerous.

Our goverment also adviceses the goverments of other nations to alert them when the woman is sighted.

Her picture apears on screen with the following information

Name : Serena Crowely (although she might be using an other name)

Eye color : light blue

Hair color : dark brown

Length : 1.70 meters

Age : 25

Background : She had studied laws and was involved in a satanic cult that ritealy murded childeren.

Captain Arkus recieved this information. He saluted Cardinal Richelieu and wheeled out, gathering his squad around him. His orders were simple. Capture, interrogate, and kill.

"Fascinating." muttered the Princeps, not believing for a moment the childmurdering claims.

"How so sir?" asked the ISA supreme director.

"Oh, I have an interest in such things," he replied "have her found if at all possible, and brought to me."

"Yes sir." he responeded, making a note. Chances are that the Confederacy would actually be fairly high on any victim of theocratic persecution's list of places to flee to, given its open door policy on refugees and long standing govenment atheism.

This seems like an ideal time to ask. How many spies do you have in the HRI?

Me?

Yes, you.

I'd say something over sixty thousand who are informers of some sort or another, and several hundred actual agents. NB, the ISA (and other agencies) operate a policy of 'ghastly and horrible revenge' against people who kill their agents, but find that informers are a penny a dozen.

Oh, and of course, the odd necron ship makes a flyby with its sensors now and then, but they're not going to be involved here. (Unless it turns out that the daemon in question is a chaos greater deamon or something, in which case they'll have to kill it.)

((That's bad. But that also explains the amazing number of people who try to purchase boats in Port Agua.))

((That's bad. But that also explains the amazing number of people who try to purchase boats in Port Agua.))

((They would be the informers. The agents aren't nearly that obvious. Hell half of them immigrate in order to become priests, with the objective of infiltrating the inquisition & the priesthood. They claim they want to get away from "water and atheist scum." and have no less than three bibles in their bags.))

((I will not pick the nation where Serena is hiding. So any volunteers?))

Yup. I volunteer. It's a fairly high technology nation, with many elemets of capitalism and some socialism (socialised public services, welfare etc.) and has several species who interact almost perfectly.

The security agencies are already looking for her there, though she won't know it, they aren't planning to harm her in any way.

ooc : than she is in The Ctan.

ic : Serena was lying in a street only wearing worn of clothing and was coverd with filt. Serena was trying here best not to look suspious and to go unnoticed. Who would care to look at at homeless person. She didn´t know if she was save for the men who kidnapped her.

She felt hungry, Serena hadn´t eaten for days

((Thrue Pope, in the NS boards there is a thread you might be interested in. Your nations fate is being discussed, amongst others))

She felt hungry, Serena hadn´t eaten for days

Contrary to her expectations, practically everyone noticed her, thanks to a rather progressive social welfare system - though minimally funded in comparison to defence, the spending was efficient - homelessness was almost completely unknown. Unfortunately, because of this, no-one actually made the connection that she was homeless, instead rationalising that she was just some incoherant drunk or drug addict lying in the gutter, where she couldn't do any harm.

Artanis Carnesîr was rather surprised to see a woman, rather shabbily dressed, lying in the doorway to his shop. It was a small bookshop which he had run since shortly after immigrating. He was one of the first elves to move into the Confederacy, almost a century ago. (after the C'tan were instrumental in liberating a large number of elves from Sauron's death camps, it became kind of popular)

He crouched down beside her. "You could have just called in later you know," he said.

Serena walked into an alley behind a restaurant and looked in the trashcans in the hope to find some food.

While searching the trashcans the voice she heared before spoke again in her head "feed me with the blood of the innocent".

Serena was paralysed, she didn´t want to commit coldblooded murder.

"FEED ME"

And Serena saw arms comming out of the walls, but they weren´t human and fires irrupted from the street under her feet, but it didn´t burn. The alley turned into pool of molten lava and she was standing on a rock in the middle of it. Out of the lava arised a great form who was horrible to look at. It said : "Feed me with the blood of the innocent"

Serena screamed out loud. And the alley turned back to normal. Serena keeped screaming for hours

Artanis could hear the strange woman who'd decided to avoid him howling like a demented dog in the middle distance, she was clearly a nutjob, quite possibly escaped from a hospital. He put the box he had been unpacking down and dialed the vidphone.

Getting through to the Social Services menu he selected the nearest hospital. "Hello," he said "I would like to be put through to the closest psyciatric unit please."

"Doctor Haddon" said a smart man in a clearly tailored suit.

"Hello Doctor, I'm wondering have you had an escapee recently?"

"Not that we're aware of," replied the doctor, "Why?"

"There's a woman around her, human, in her twenties, acting very strangely." he said.

"Odd," said the doctor, "Well, I'll put up an alert, and we'll see if we can't send someone to pick her up."

OOC: Feel free to have your people enter and detain her. I'd just advise them not to go around shooting at her or dragging her along the street. You'd probably not be surprised what a nation of trained soldiers backed by obsessive police does to the crime rate.

Serena sat in the alley in total shock and repeating one phrase over and over again. "I will never do it, I will never do it, I will ...", just over and over again. When the medical personel picked her up and put her in the ambulance to take her to the psychiaterical department.

OOC: Feel free to have your people enter and detain her. I'd just advise them not to go around shooting at her or dragging her along the street. You'd probably not be surprised what a nation of trained soldiers backed by obsessive police does to the crime rate.

OOC : noted. Some background information : the link with the demon can temporaly be blocked by means of heavy medication, but as soon as the treatment stops the blokkade is lifted.

IC : Father Karl was sitting in an airplane to The Ctan, with him where two dark crusaders, the name given to soldiers on the road to become special agents of the BSO. He read the file un the serena-case and about the failure of Brother Forehammer. At last, he tought, this is my change to prove my self to the OPT.

He was orderd to contact a citizen of The Ctan who had called the BSO and claimed that had seen Serena. He was promised a reward if it led to her capture.

Father Karl handend over diplomatic document to two agenst in the back. "This is our ticket trought the customs at the airport."

The patient was wheeled in. She didn't actually seem dangerous, and so was put into interview immediatly.

"Could you tell me your name?" asked the Nurse, sitting next to her, trying to interrupt her chant.

Meanwhile the agents were not detained at the airport, although a slight note was made of their arrival as suspect.

Serena looked at the nurse and said : "If I tell you my name the will find me and take me back to that horrible place."

"Feed me on the blood of the innocent" the voice in her head said again.

Serena : "stop saying that, I will never do it. I will never do it..."




Father Karl and his men went pas the airport customs without trouble.

"Lets take some coffe first", Father Karl said against his men, "and then we will go to our contact who know more about the demon."

"That sounds like a good idea sir", one of his men replied, "I can use something to eat to."

So Father Karl and his two men went to a dinnerplace close to the airport and went in there and a took a table and orderd some coffee and sandwiches.

Father Karl said to his men : "Before we will eat and drink we shall pray."

Father Karl and his men bowed their heads and touched their head cest and shoulders and then all three said a silent prayer.

Father Karl prayed besides the normal dinnerprayer : "That Thou may increase my power."

"amen",Father Karl said, "lets eat."

The nurse looked calmly back at Serena, "Tell me about them, and where they took you?" she asked.

Serena looked at the nurse : "They first looked like police when they took me away from my own house that night"

A cold wind blow trough the hall

Serena pulled a blanket over her. "They knocked me unconsious when I was awake I was in some kind of cargo space of a truck. I couldn´t see anything."

The light start gon on and off like their in a disruption in the powersuply.

"When they oped the door I tried to escape but they shoot me in the legs.

ooc: on her rightleg is a scar and x-ray whil reveal the presence of a bullet.

ic :

wrinting in blood red appears on the wall.

"They put me in a cell without lights and gave me little food. They tortured me and keep asking me if I knew why I was here."

the wrinting on the wall spells ´Feed me on the blood of the innocent´

Serena points with her fingers to the wall.

A shadow appears on the floor comming from the hallway from the left. Serena reconized it as the monster from the lavepool.

Serena face went showed great fear.

Father Karl and his took a taxi to the city where there contact lives.
When they stepped out they gave the taxidriver a large tip with and said : "You didn´t see us."

Father Karl and his men stood before a flat and walked inside and took the elevator to the floor where there contact lived.

Father Karl knocked on the door.

Serena points with her fingers to the wall. The nurse looks in the direction of her hand, and sees nothing, however, puts her down as suffering post traumatic stress, and, seeing that the woman is becoming delerious quickly jabs her in the upper arm with a concealed syringe of sedative. Serena slipped into blissful unconsiousness moments later.

The door opend and a short man in his forties was standing there : who are you?

Father Karl replied : "You called us with some information on the Serena-case?"

The man said : "Euh.. Yes."

Father Karl : "Then may I come in?"

The man : "Euh... sure."

Father Karl went in the apartment of the man. He orderd his men to stay outside to look out for anything suspious.

"Tell us what you know mister ...", Father Karl said.

"John Smith", John said

"Last night I heard some screaming comming from the restaurant and I looked outside. I saw a girl who looked very much like the girl that your people showed on tv."

"Do you know where she is now?", Father Karl asked.

"A ambulance came to take her away, now about the reward.", John said

"That will come if we got our suspect.", Father Karl said a bit anoyed.

Father Karl went outside and said to his men : "Sheis probaly in a medical facility search if anyone was takenfitting her desription."

"Yes sir", his two men replied.


Serene woke up in a hospital bed and looked around and was confused. How did she get her and then she rememberd what had happend, the conversation with the nurse, the writing on the wall and the same phrase repeating over and over in her head.

"What!", Serena said, "the voice is gone."

ooc: I just assumed that you had given her some medication

OOC: They most likely would, she's clearly delusional. :)

#IC post will be inserted here.#

Doctor hadden was running some usual recordkeeping tasks through the hospital's computer network, when a small message icon appeared next to serena in the identitysearch system, used to keep track of the medical records of citizens. The system had run out of matches, so clearly she wasn't on record.

He brought up the icon, and read the note: "ISA Watchlist, detain at current location if possible. Agents dispatched." This was a surprise, perhaps her story did check out.
"Sister," he said, pushing a button on the intercom, "Remember our Jane Doe?"

"Yes doctor?"

"She's on a watchlist, we're meant to detain her here."

"As you wish doctor."

Moments later a pair of male nurses walked into Serena's room, ignoring her talk about the voices and then protests, strapped her down with heavy padded straps across her limbs and waist.
______________

The two man had no difficulty finding her location, she was in 'Valley Hospital, psyciatric wing.'
______________

The local headquarters of the Internal Security Agency was discreet, looking distinctly commercial. Field Agent Blue - one of a list of ISA standard names, on the whole, agents changed their false names regularly, and only used their real names in internal documents - started the car, a high performance hydrogen vehicle, and patiently waited for her associate. "Come on..." she shouted, "I'd be rather surprised if her own aren't already looking for her." Agent White, a younger man, in his thirties, swept down the stiars, and hopped into the vehicle, closing the door.

His superior waited scant moments before pressing her foor onto the acellerator, the vehicle's restricted systems informing her that the roads were clear for a radius of half a kilometer.

The two men went to the motel where they stayed.

"Father Karl, we have found her."

"Good where is she?", Father Karl asked while sitting in a chair reading the newspaper.

"We located her in 'Valley Hospital, psyciatric wing'."

"Good work", Father Karl said, "lets go there at once."

"We have a cab waiting just outside, who is wellpaid."

"Then lets go", Father Karl said, "only God knows when they find out who she realy is."

Father Karl locked the door and walked with his men to the cab. He said to the cabdriver : "Go to 'Valley Hospital´and step on it."

The cab stoped in front of the hospital. Father Karl instructed the cabdriver to stay.

Father Karl and his two men walked into the entry hall of the hospital

Father Karl took a good look of the hall and then walked to the check-in-desk.

While Father Karl aproached the desk a men and a women enterd the hospital.

Father Karl aksed to the nurse afther the desk :

"Good evening my Daughter I want to ask if this women is in this hospital, she is the daughter of my brother.", while he showed her a picture of Serena.
