Two years ago on my world, Ashley Graham, daughter of the President of the United States, was kidnapped. Because of where and how she was kidnapped, we suspected it was an inside job. The perpetrator simply knew too much about security protocols for it to be anything else. As such, the government kept quiet to th press about her kidnapping, and only a handful of agents at a time could be dispatched to investigate. I was one of the first agents sent out.

We received an anonymous tip, one that I believe was provided by Ada Wong (an Umbrella operative I previously encountered years ago during the Raccoon City outbreak), and I was sent to a small village in the rural outskirts in Spain to follow up on this lead. Whether or not Ada knew I'd be sent, or simply lucked out when the government sent me is something I haven't ben able to determine, but either way, my arrival played right into her hands.

The village was dominated by a cult known as Los Illuminados, and the cult was led by a man named Osmund Saddler. His chief lieutenants were Bitoriz Mendez, Jack Krauser (a former US operative who joined the cult as a spy for Wesker), and Ramon Salazar. The cult itself was centered around a parasite known as las plagas. These parasites, which were capable of infecting multiple types of organisms, bond with their host, and are eventually able to take over control of that host. Humans infected with las plagas are known as ganados. Those infected with a Master Plaga, a more complex version of the parasite that is able to control the others, claim to have control over it. Whether or not they actually do is another matter.

[locked, encrypted to Team Good]Since las plagas are very adaptable, Saddler was able to engineer a large variety of creatures with them. For more information about that, find Luis Sera. He's a former researcher for Saddler who turned on him, and helped me out a great deal while I was there.[/lock]

Saddler's plan was simple. He intended to infect Ashley with a master plaga, then send her back to the US so she can infect other high level US officials. I had to fight my way through most of his cult to finally get Ashley, and managed to kill Mendez, Krauser, and Salazar in the process. With some assistance from Ada, I was able to kill Saddler. Ada then promptly escaped with the Master Plaga sample that was meant to be used on Ashley.

In the aftermath, the Spanish government, which we now know had multiple officials on the Los Illuminados payroll, continually stonewalled any of the US's attempts to further investigate the village and put a more permanent end to las plagas. [Locked, encrypted to Team Good] It's unknown whether or not las plagas have been sealed under Salazar's castle, or if access still remains. I'll be investigating further.[/lock] Their stalling allowed enough time for those with master plagas (Krauser, Salazar, Saddler, and Mendez) to regenerate.

Salazar eventually escaped to the nexus, as did Saddler. Salazar was eventually captured, and I allowed him to be placed in the custody of Hippolyta Hollister while certain considerations were being worked out so he could stand trial. This proved to be a gross error in judgment on my part. Her position as jailer was little more than a farce which they hid behind while pursuing a romantic relationship. Once more pressing matters are taken care of, both Hips and Salazar will be dealt with. Severely.

Saddler has also popped up recently, not only in the nexus, but elsewhere as well. Becky's Raccoon City was recently the target of his. He infected a large number of the populace with las plagas, and left with them to an unknown location. Among the people who left with him were a number of employees at the Umbrella facility there. Becky and myself were able to eliminate the few remaining ganados, while Luis and Eiko were charged with the task of finding and removing the source of the infection. Becky chose to remain behind and assist recovery efforts, while I had to chase down several people who were infected, but skipped town before the infection fully manifested itself.

Saddler's current plans are unknown, but keep your distance from him. Given that they've both have been lying to us all for months, and outed themselves as a couple around the same time news of Saddler's attack on Becky's Raccoon was received, Hips and Salazar may also be somehow involved in Saddler's plans. Keep your distance from them as well.

Having just rented an apartment across the hall from her, I think I can pretty much say Hipps and Salazar do not have the Plaga National Guard hidden away there. Everyone else in the apartment complex is clean, too, including Hipps.

I can smell and sense Plaga, before you ask.

I didn't see Salazar. I did see one of the Hands. There are three carriers in the complex. The third is probably the other Hand.

It didn't try to kill me. And no one even tried to infect me, either. I'll go get probed if you want, to confirm that.

Hipps is also infamous for bad romantic choices, seperate from dealing with bad guys.

Might want to look deeper before you jump to conclusions, even if the guy did eat people and try and kill you.

And yeah, I'll go look and see if murders are up in that area.

As for them not being straight with you guys? Honestly, if you knew the first reaction would be is for Raccoon City's finest to want to blow the shit out of you and lover, never mind probably actually do it, would you tell them?

Just food for thought.

Honestly, Leon, I don't know that you wouldn't outright kill her or Salazar once you got hold of them. We've known each other all of three months, right? And if I base your reactions on the many hunters I've known on my world--well, you are a good guy, and if it looks like an infected person is better off dead? Common sense says remove them. Permanently.

What I do know is that people from Raccoon tend to shoot first and ask later. I don't blame you guys, but I do expect that reaction over any other first off. Could be wrtong in that, but that's what I've seen. Out of all of you, if I had something like this to tell, I'd go to Becky, maybe Jill. The rest of you? I'd expect an explosion.

I'm willing to trust your word though that it isn't the game plan to kill her. But if it isn't, then what does 'severely' entail? Jail time? And that will do exactly what?

As for why trust? I trust them. I've been around Hipps since then, spoken to her face to face, and I know that neither one of them have any plans to help Saddler, Wesker, or anyone else in that camp. She also hasn't been sleeping well, which means she's chewing on problems she can't even come to the people who would know the most about them.

I agree the plaga is a problem. Not Salazar, but the plaga he has. It's a lot like vampirism that way. The person infected may or may not want to do what the vampirism wants it to do. Depending on how strong the infection is compared to the person infected determines a lot of their actions. And sometimes, the infection cannot be resisted.

But it's still seperate from the carrier. At least until it overtakes.

And I will repeat--with the Raccoon STARS reputation, no sane person would admit to being infected to you, let alone be involved in an unusual relationship with someone infected unless they had enough ducks lined up to present to you guys first off, unless it was as simple as 'I just got infected, please help'.

And even then, would that really be enough for you? Especially considering who it is? Sorry, man, but you guys really do have a reputation that preceeds you. I don't blame her or him for not saying anything.

Have you ever been afraid Leon? Try and remember what that's like, to be afraid of the people you should be able to trust. Then try and judge.

Then our association is over.

And when you become Wesker, I hope you remember this conversation. Because it doesn't matter what side you're on if you can't see past the surface, and you cannot see yourself through someone else's eyes.

Especially the 'enemy'.

I will ask. I know also that she hasn't slept and she's scared to death.

I would ask you to at least try to wrap your head some of the things I've said as well though, too.

If you've ever felt any emotion, you know how irrational they are. They aren't controlled by promises, deals, or knowing what will go wrong if you give into them anyway.

She knows two things for sure though Leon.

She loves him. And you will keep your promise. That means that Salazar is probably fucked. By both sides.

What would you do for Claire if she was in this much trouble, but you were sure she was innocent? Even if the evidence stacked up against her?

Leon, a friend is someone who's not afraid to tell you when you're wrong.

I'm telling you right now. You're wrong. You want to ignore that, that's fine. But at least I did my part as a friend.

And by the way, by opening this? You just lost a spy. Because now everyone knows I'm associated with you.

Or was, at least. That part I'll leave up to you.

You know where to find me.

I have a proposal for you, Agent Kennedy. Whether you choose to hear me out or not is your choice.

You have alot on your hands to deal with Kennedy. I have a team on standby prepared to enter the city. I'm willing to assist in cleansing operations.

Do not consider this as an attempt at friendship, a possible future alliance, or even an attempt to infiltrate your group. We both know better than that.

All I ask in return are two things. One, that my team and I remain unharassed by yours while there. The second request being that we're allowed to leave unhindered when ready.

It's your choice. We're going there regardless of what you say, but this will at least keep us from being at odds while there, not to mention you gain the help of soldiers trained and armed to handle exactly this sort of situation.

Your terms are acceptable. I'll be on an encrypted radio you can reach me at. Frequency 578. Otherwise, my team will be operating on its own frequency. Do not attempt to monitor, jam, or intercept, and we'll pay you the same respect.

See you on the field, Agent Kennedy.

I've been expecting you to be mad at me, and I'm not understanding why you aren't.

Also, I finished IDing the plaga sporing process and I'm working on something to spray on to neutralize them but keep hitting the fact that they tend to also be highly toxic to damn near everything else. I don't want to bring a higher tech level than I have to in on this - nanotech, stuff like that, which will raise more questions than anyone wants, and that's getting to frustrate me a hell of a lot, and I'm low on sleep.

Well, I'm pretty sure the argument over this will make all kinds of sense.

If anyone needs me, I'm helping Becky in Raccoon City. She hadn't slept in three days before I got there, and we could probably use some extra help... mostly, we're just looking for survivors and making sure everybody has water.

From: [identity profile] finalgirl.livejournal.com
No, and I have no real idea why. One of the guys I'm working with says the city's being quarantined right now, so maybe they're just holding a perimeter until they know whatever's wrong is gone.

...did I just get past a quarantine around Raccoon City without knowing it was there again?

Date: 2006-07-13 07:59 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] finalgirl.livejournal.com
Becky's asleep. She pretty much had to be sent to bed by force, so I'm not going to wake her up unless I can't avoid it.

Just making a list is something I can do. I feel a little useless; mostly I'm standing around with a gun making survivors feel better, or keeping an infected person off of the guy with the laser. Something constructive sounds good.

We're not finding a lot of kids who want to play, Leon.

Either they're exhausted or they're infected. And if they're infected, they usually die.

The first victim I saw was... Jesus, she might've been ten. Maybe.

That first one I saw... her head exploded and she went all tentacle-y even after this guy shot her with the PRL. Afterwards.

Leon, let me explain. I'm a machine. When my organics age, they're refreshed to their peak condition. My mechanics are easily repaired. When everyone dies of old age, I'll still live. My programming's desire to seek truth, freedom and justice wherever I go, however, will still exist.

This one's a situation my programming tells to correct.

You don't have to worry about me.
