...the owner of the popular Chicago nightclub known as Happy Endings, was reported missing earlier this morning. His Chicago apartment was found to be securely locked from the inside, with the only item missing being his black Mercedes.

Police are still investigating, but as of now, have told the media that they do not have any evidence which would suggest a connection between the disappearance and the incident that occurred at Happy Endings last night, which resulted in several people seriously injured, but no fatalities.

A video on the internet plays in a repeated loop, the image of Gunnar Richards, lifeless and draped over the broken remains of a ferris wheel. His arms are splayed out on either side, giving off the image of a cross. No other clues as to what happened or who had done it, the only evidence is the obvious decimation of Coney Island in the background and a dead man. Next to him on a broken off piece of metal is spray painted in red:

NO PEACE

To whom it may concern:

In an ill advised attempt to free enemy combatants of the reincarnate community during a prison transfer two days ago, some wanted members of the terrorist organization known as the Resistance have been successfully captured and detained for further questioning.

Let it be known here that we at Camelot will not tolerate acts of insubordination or treason. The rules we have are in place for a reason. If you are caught breaking them, you will not be shown leniency simply because you are a reincarnate. In order to maintain the perfect communal existence, we cannot allow for there to be any discord. We don't make the Agency's laws, we simply keep them. Their purpose is to keep us all together, and certain reincarnate elements insist on consistently trying to ruin everything we've worked so hard to be built. This cannot and will not continue.

We have your agents. If you wish to see them again, you know what you have to do.

Surrender, or suffer the consequences.

- Daniel Morgan
Head of Camelot

The Agency would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that curfews are still in full effect in your designated zone. Your local Agency field office works round the clock and won't tolerate any curfew violators - the streets aren't safe, and if you are caught outside after ten P.M. without any work papers, we will assume you are an enemy combatant and you will be detained until your case can be reviewed. We do this for the safety of everyone, to keep our streets clean and prevent reincarnates from getting hurt in any misguided acts of so-called 'freedom fighting'. Staying together is the only way to survive, and we will not support any group of vigilantes who act on their own in the name of reincarnates. They do not speak for us, their reckless acts only further damage our success as a community. The Agency and Camelot are dedicated to helping reincarnates thrive, and it is imperative that people follow our lead for the continued survival and protection of reincarnates. We will not tolerate any Resistance or mundy sympathizers, you are only delaying real progress. Stay safe, and stay loyal. Your fellow reincarnates need you. This has been an Agency sponsored message from the desk of Director Archer.

Director of Public Relations

Every cable news station is the same. Scene after scene of buildings collapsing, wildlife disintegrating, people running away screaming, and a fire rising from the ashes that only grows faster as the seconds on the time stamp rolled by in the corner of the screen. Minutes later the feed always cuts to static, another channel gone dead, indicating another city totaled. Except for those familiar with it, nobody really knows what's coming for them until it's here, only that she's bathed in flames with eyes that burn the heart out of you. There are no survivors. Once it finds you, your time is up. She is an unstoppable force. She is fire and life incarnate.

I AM PHOENIX!

This broadcast is brought to you by all the reincarnate hackers still out in this crazy, messed up world. It comes on all channels, throughout the world, an hour after the executions have been shown on TV.

"At eleven AM this morning, the leaders of Camelot, Daniel and Scott Morgan, were executed in a public hanging. Many of the remaining Camelot leaders led an attempt to stop this atrocity from happening. Unfortunately, it failed, with many of the team dying in the attempt, as well as the leader of this resistance, Liam Walker. He was a good man who believed in doing the right thing, even to the end. The British government says that they have either killed, or captured the group that attempted to free the leaders of a group that has only ever sought for peace; government officials were also killed. Their deaths were unnecessary, and not intended, but since they insisted on murdering innocent people, they were caught in the crossfire.

My name is Zachary Evans. My brothers, Daniel and Scott Morgan, were killed today. Liam Walker, a friend, and a good man, was killed, trying to prevent their murders. Many fellow friends, and people, were killed, trying to prevent the same thing.

On Camelot's behalf, I would like to repeat the following message: "It's a dangerous world that we live in now. But, we're hopeful that we will restore peace and balance to the public, reincarnates and humanity alike. To reincarnates: Do not lose hope. For as long as there's one person who believes in us, then we will always survive. To the rest of the world: You may murder us. You may capture us. You may torture us.

But our spirits, our honor, our passions; they will never die. And in this instance, Camelot, itself, will always live on. We will do what we must to continue to survive. But there is no reason to fear us; for we too, are people, same as you.

This is Zachary Evans, leader of Camelot, signing off."

Early Saturday morning explosions could be heard at a remote location outside of a small town in Arizona . It’s unclear what exactly the cause of the destruction was, but the monster-like roars and flashes of lightning from the sky on a relatively clear day may be distinctive indicators to anyone watching the news later that day once the story broke. James Fox, current leader of a known group called the Avengers (what's left of them), stormed the facility in an attempt to recover one of his former teammates, Virginia May, currently being held captive at an army base. The monster known as The Hulk, reacted violently, initiating a disastrous confrontation. Video footage of smoke rising from ruined structures and soldiers in uniform running from large chunks of flying debris can be seen in brief clips shown on TV later in the afternoon, the number of minor to serious injuries during the chaos carefully recorded by military personnel. Army officials have since reported that Fox acted alone, and was successfully detained and subdued after considerable measures were taken by United States soldiers. Thanks to intel recovered from Agency files by the U.S. government, the army assures the public that they have a holding cell strong enough to keep the god-reincarnated menace in its cage.

Video footage of what looks like a riot flashes across the screen, panning from the determined faces of Camelot resistance fighters to British special forces engaging in violent combat with them. At first there's no explanation for the footage, until the feed changes abruptly to two men around the same height, standing together with hands bound on a wooden platform and a noose around their necks. Their faces were covered by black bags, but it was obvious who they were. Two seconds later the floor underneath them drops, and the screen shifts back to a newsroom. The announcer somberly clears her throat and begins.

"At eleven A.M. this morning, known terrorist leaders Daniel and Scott Morgan were executed. Some of their sympathizers, a group of Camelot loyalists led by who has since been identified as Liam Walker, stormed the courtyard outside Parliament in an attempt to rescue their former commanders. We have word from the British government that this group of former Camelot members was annihilated, a few of them killed including what we assume without further details to be the terrorist group's leader Liam Walker. Some were captured and others escaped, and the traitors Scott and Daniel Morgan were finally executed soon after. Many government officials risked and lost their lives to bring us to this conclusion.

On Parliament's behalf we would like to repeat the following message: 'There is a reward for anyone who has any information on the possible whereabouts of those terrorist members now on the run, and remember to keep your doors and windows locked during the night. It's a dangerous world we live in now, but we're ever hopeful of restoring peace and balance to the public.'

This is Marian Jones signing off."

Shortly after Adrienne O'Carroll's radio broadcast, Colin gets on the intercom inside the London Agency. Their resistance group isn't the most impressive, but there's enough people inside that to reach everyone at once, the intercom is still considered necessary. It's connected to every major office and break room in the building, so anyone can listen and talk back.

"Attention all resistance fighters and former caped crusaders. This is your fearful leader speaking." Even in the darkest of times it's hard for him not to make a joke, but he clears his throat to mentally kick himself and start over. "Uh... Yeah, so, anyone listening to the radio right now probably heard that. Looks like we're gonna be in for a long night. Or nights. All in favor of night watch rotations? I'll take one of the first shifts. Somebody volunteer to be the Samwell to my Jon Snow or I'll start picking names out of a hat." Okay, so it's still pretty hard.


[ooc note: Anyone who wants to be in the London Agency resistance is welcome to comment! Ex-Agency workers especially, but anyone else as well. So far I count Colin, Owen, Emma and possibly some others but we could use more!]

"A-hem." The shrill, uneven voice of Adrienne O'Carroll fills the airwaves, the glee disgustingly evident in her tone almost impossible for any listeners to properly digest. The usual radio announcer from Parliament was mysteriously absent, most likely she'd used the Imperius curse on him to give up his seat at the mic and go get her a cup of coffee. "Is this thing on? Good."

The broadcast was on a basic channel, it could be heard everywhere. Especially, she was counting on, inside whatever sad little hold outs the remaining reincarnates out there on this side of the pond had left. "Now let's just clear the air here. If you think you can run? You can. If you think you can hide? There's a thousand dank and dirty holes out there you sad saps could manage to crawl into it. If you think you can escape us forever? Think again! We'll find you. The battle's over, dears, we won. The revolution never even started, so you might as well give up now and hope we've still got room left in the jail for you. If not? Well... there's more than one way to burn a rat." --

"How's this? A thousand dollar reward and clemency granted to any reincarnates who can bring us the rebel traitors in the London Agency first, and torch the place to the ground." A deadly pause.

"Or I'll come after you all myself. Hahahahahahaha-!"

Her high pitched, manic laughter is cut off by a sharp wave of static, and then the mic goes dead.
