East Veron……


The massive port city of East Veron stood out in the mist of the darkness . The massive city lights lit up the area like a giant Christmas tree and the sight would be easily seen from miles away. This city like many others in Rastoria was under the control of the Outfit. The fearsome organized crime fraternity that had managed to dominate Rastoria’s underworld every since the late 1880’s.

The most interesting part of this now very modern metropolis however was the harbor that contained the thousands of boats and ships that served majority of the commercial needs of a nation like Rastoria. The United States of Rastoria had long relied on foreign corporations to stimulate it’s economy and as such much of the materials needed for the country were imported for use and many Rastorian ships were used to export finished products to other nations for trade..

This harbor had also made the Barlucchi Crime Family very rich and Influential. The Barlucchis had for years run the labor and dock Unions that serviced the harbors and thus they ran the waterfront with an Iron fist. The dock goons and long shore men all paid respects to the Barlucchi Family and this power also gave the Barlucchis many opportunities like the ability to smuggle things to and from Rastoria. This time however they were not going to smuggle something in or out of Rastoria. The Barlucchis were going to smuggle someone out of Rastoria with very specific orders. The orders had been given to the Syndicate and passed down the chain of command to this specific individual. The orders were from Claudius Griffincrest himself and they were as followed, The head of Shakal’s Air force Colin Hall has been sentenced to be eliminated. The contract was already in place an a single Rastorian assassin had been selected to carry out this dangerous deed..


The contract killer was Johnny Rastanelli a small rat faced man whom was wearing a black business suite with a black tie. He also had on his favorite cobra sunglasses and had Italian leather gloves on both of his hands. Johnny was also carrying a large black suitcase. The inside of it was paperwork, pens, pencils and a box of chocolates which under the main chocolate tray inside concealed a MK23 Mod 0 semi automatic pistol with a silencer.


Johnny had some Rastorian cash on him along with several travelers checks leading to false accountants and his favorite weapon. A piano wire garrote concealed inside his fake Rolex watch. The contract killer smiled after receiving his orders and headed onto a passenger liner heading towards Shakal. Rastoria’s government was not directly affiliated with the CA despite the Syndicate’s private involvement with the Corporate Alliance and as such no effort was needed to hide Johnny’s true nationality from Shakal‘s authorities. The only hitch was the need to make a cover story, The chosen cover story was Johnny was to be a representative of Lichencrest Industries a massive and powerful corporation inside Rastoria that even now controls Rastoria’s highest levels of government. Their CEO was even the legal President of Rastoria! It seemed like a plausible cover story and the documents needed to show proof of identity were easy enough to forge.

Johnny quickly steps onto the deck of the passenger liner called the National Beauty. The name alone made Johnny want to throw up and the sudden feeling of being on the Ocean did not help matters…

Johnny quickly enters his quarters on the first class section and sighs out loud, praying for the six day journey to Shakal to end quickly….

Shakal Air Force Attack Center

Colin sat in his desk. The day had been long. With the new war with the CA he had been up for over 36 hours already. He simply needed to go home and sleep. His replacement for the next ten hours was Air Marshall Udet. He lacked the administrative skills f his superior but made up for it with determination. Just as Colin began to stand to leave the control room for the night the phone rang. Figures he thought to himself before picking it up.

"Colin Hall." The phone wrang with the voice he knew well.

"Yes maam. It is me." He replied to the Empress.

"You need some rest." She told him coldly. Her vampire DNA made her immune to the effects of age, weariness, and death in general.

"I was just leaving for a nights sleep when you called." Colin replied sitting back down sensing more time in the room before him.

"I need you to do one thing before you leave." The Empress explained. "I want all aircraft incoming into the empire screened for spies and other delinquints. Do the same for those departing, just until this war is over." She added.

"Yes Empress." Colin said. He hung up the phone and rubbed his eyes. This task was large and he would tackle it tommorow. He stood up and left the room out the main door. He nodded and his temporary replacement walked in just as he left to tend to his matters.

OOC: You do realize that Johnny is coming into Empire via passenger liner and thus screening for spies via commercial flights would not effect him. I also need a name of a port city or harbor to dock the passenger liner unless you have naval units that want to randomly board a civilian vessel …

Six Days Later…….


The slow approach of ocean travel seemed to be the better method of travel for the Rastorian hitman. The National Beauty continued to her destination with little to no interference from other nations. The National Beauty was an obvious passenger ship and seemed civilian in every sense of the word. It even had ceremonial Rastorian flags to give it international recognition on the high seas. The large vessel promptly entered into Shakal’s national waters around 9:30 a.m. and proceeded to head to port carrying her passengers inside her massive hull. The passengers were mostly tourists and would be bussinessmen and investors seeking to expand their fortunes in foreign trade markets.

Johnny had not been feeling well during the whole trip. The sea was a cruel mistress and had no patience for men with weak stomachs and Johnny had to stay in his room around his toilet or outside on deck puking overboard. Johnny preferred to be in his room and avoided leaving to prevent people from being able to recognize him by sight. The key for every good hitman was to be able to blend into their surroundings and avoid being remembered by the locals to prevent being picked out of a line up…


Johnny sighed and watched as Shakal’s coast appeared on the horizon from his window in his private room….

New Zagreb…….


The large civilian transport vessel headed towards New Zagreb with it’s precious passengers. The Captain of the vessel named Rodney Carlson immediately sent a radio message to the harbor master requesting permission to dock and allow his charges to exit his vessel..

“This is the National Beauty over, Requesting permission from harbor authorities to dock in harbor over…”

The captain waited for the harbor master to send a response….

“This is the National Beauty over, Requesting permission from harbor authorities to dock in harbor over…”

"Permission granted. Be aware that due to the state of war passnegers will not be subget to arrival clearence yet, but as of tonight a screening is going out and your passengers will be delayed for an extra day on the date of departure." The Harbour master called.

In the meantime the coastal defences could be seen steadily scanning the sky for signs of any enemy. From the deck of the ship a large veichle was visible. It was slowly crawling along the coast carrying what looked like a 150ft high steel box.

"Permission granted. Be aware that due to the state of war passengers will not be subject to arrival clearance yet, but as of tonight a screening is going out and your passengers will be delayed for an extra day on the date of departure."

The Captain listened to the orders and sent the following reply, "Roger that harbor master over, We shall begin preparations to dock over..."

The Captain Carlson after a few minutes announced the message from the harbor master to the passengers and crew via the loudspeakers. “Attention Crew and Passengers, The Empire of Shakal is currently at a state of war and as such. We don’t have permission to disembark from the ship until our clearance is processed and our departure time will be one day after the deadline date on the regular scheduling roster.”

Johnny listened to the message from his room and groaned for a second, this would only make his job harder now that Shakal was already setting up defenses and locking up their nation like a drum. It made sense but the chances of getting caught or killed was raised exponentially from this new turn of events.

Johnny sighed and made a quick and quiet prayed for God to watch over him and give him the strength and ability to pull off this job and then the rat face man quickly left his room with his stuff and started to go up on the deck to survey the coastal defenses and find potential exit points that were not being patrolled or avoided by Imperial forces…

OOC:Sorry.

IC:

The passengers were being cleared faster than anticipated, but the guards were, well on guard. They made sure that each person was logged into the computer and immediatly each passenger had there fingerprints taken. After the usual metal detectors and other percausions they were free to go about there business. As night approached the huge metal boxes could be seen on either side of the Zagreb bay as if they were waiting for something. Once night fell a slight set of clicking sounds would be heard and in the morning a new spectacle wuld replace the massive cubes of steel.

IC:

Johnny was not to worried about the standard ID checks and fingerprinting updates. His fingerprints were still the same from his birth but he always wore gloves when holding his weapons. It would be impossible for someone to get his prints of his gun or even his piano wire garrote. The highly trained assassin also had special reflector tape over the gun to prevent it from being detected by normal metal detectors and as far as a scan would show his box of chocolates would look just like a box of chocolates.


The garrote hidden in the fake Rolex was not metal and thus would not be detected by normal means and the “Rastorian Businessman” seemed like an upstanding citizen of a seemingly neutral nation looking for the chance to invest in Shakal’s foreign markets….


Johnny smiled and waited for his chance to leave the ship and begin his hunt for Colin the head of Shakals Air force….

All of the ships passengers were cleared, except for 3 men who where 'suffering from foodpoisoning' and taken away. Everyone else would be able to go around and do what they came into the Empire to do.

Johnny silently cursed as the announcement was made to detain the people with food poisoning and decided to act the part of a sea sick businessman. He acted respectful to the Shakal officials that were detaining him while the other two men were just tourists looking to see the sites and get some relief from the highly stressful business world of New Rastoria.


Johnny smiled as he waited to be allowed to leave and get to his target. The goal was to get to the target and whack him fast and escape without being killed or captured in this enemy country....
