It's not Pulp Fiction

by Liliana, Spirit's Majesty

Apparently, our team has been chasing these briefcases for a while. Where have I been? It seems I've been absorbed in my own world for too long. Division has acquired three out of four of these cases and have not opened them yet open due to some shenanigans surrounding them being booby trapped and probably destroying their contents by trying to open them improperly. Oh bother.
 
I don’t see the point of owning a motor car here in the city when I can just walk or call for an Uber, but tonight we’ve got our own personal lorry – I don’t know whose it is, but I think my boot stuck to something in the carpet, and it has the charming odor I would best describe as “last weeks’ burrito”. Just as I’m thinking for the twentieth time that our destination can’t be soon enough, The Hot Shot stops the car, and we pile out.
 
It's obvious we’re in the right spot, there are two Black Talons looming large over the cityscape and Chiller and Ahem seem to be putting up a fight with them. Dragon Lady hits the ground running as I’m still checking the bottom of my boot. By the time I’ve looked up, one of the Black Talons has flown down the street and gunned down both Chiller and Ahem, which snaps me back to this world. I take to the sky to get a better view and feel a cool wind at my back as I concentrate on the pilot of that Black Talon, and as soon as I feel that connection with his mind, the Spirits flow through me and flood his mind with the shame and regret of his past misdeeds. His remorse only serves to give rise to the anger within me as I get a sense of the atrocities this worm has perpetrated. I imagine the pilot’s eyes rolling back in his head and think “That was for Rocket you bloody bastard.”
 
The odds are very much in our favor, and Dragon Lady extends a warm welcome into unconsciousness to the agents on the scene while Ghost and I give the Black Talons the same unfriendly treatment. At some point while I was engaging with my Black Talon, Ghost made a new friend and by the time she has alerted us that Orion was on the scene, he was already buried in the roof of a nearby building. All the other unfriendly neighborhood agents are out, so I ask Dragon Lady and the Hot Shot to grab the briefcase and the badly injured agents and get them in the car and get out while Ghost and I deal with Orion.
 
I can’t see where he went, even as I get closer. I keep closing and still can’t see him – it appears he’s erected an opaque barrier and I realize that’s why I can’t locate him. I take a deep breath, close my eyes, and trust the Spirits to guide me to enact their retribution. His mind resists, but he will yield, and he will break; the Spirits clamour for him to pay for his past actions. The Spirits’ focus shifts abruptly and I’m seeing a vision across the sky as the “Starbird” is flying in – I must have caught a news article about it, because I know this is the vehicle “The Ultimates” travel in. I notify the team, and Dragon Lady and The Hot Shot get the car moving as I’m trying to get to Ghost, who breaks free. We’ve got what we came for, and she nearly breaks the sound barrier flying straight up as I kick the metaphorical spurs on my Spirit host – while not nearly as fast as Ghost, it’s still fast enough to get me out of there.
 
We get the fourth briefcase base to base and get them all together and they open on their own; thankfully with no explosion. If you’ve ever imagined what Vincent and Jules saw when they opened their briefcase, I can tell you that whatever you imagined was causing that golden glow was much more impressive than what we found. It was literally a scrap of paper covered front and back in scientific formulas. There were a few symbols and notations I recognized from my studies in physics and astronomy, but beyond those tiny snippets, it reads in circles to me. I’m not sure this was nearly worth dying for, but the resistance agent nearly did, so hopefully this means something to somebody, and they can figure it out in time for it to be of use to us.

The major events and journals in Liliana,'s history, from the beginning to today.

The First Second of Eternity

It's true what they say - no good deed goes unpunished. Especially since the Vanishing. Waking up someplace dark and cold without a proper spot of tea is never how you want to start your day and standing up for what's right can cost you when you get c...

The Moment the First Domino Fell

It was a surreal sight to see, and it all happened so fast. A bunker in flames. Dozens of innocents needing to get away. The countless numbers of agents, unmoving. That bastard Gigaton. The arrival of Destroids. An unknown group of powered being arr...

Thoughts on Sandblasting

I really did not like what had happend and I really did not like lying to Sandcrab. It wasn't the "Danger Room" that was giving me bad vibes, it was the thoughts in my own head. Sandcrab seems to be unphased by our little test, but I'm not so lucky....

The awakening

The nightmares are supposed to stop when I wake up. What happens when being awake is more terrifying than being asleep? This world is upside-down, cruel, and backwards and every fiber of my being tells me to lash out. I cannot get the vision of my ...

Sandcrab asked for it... really!

Liliana receives a request from Sandcrab, "Might you have time to aid me in the Danger Room?" Liliana responds "You're Sandcrag, right? So many people I don't know. I do have the time, but how can I help you?" Rex thinks *.o0O("Sandcrag", huh, tha...

Prelude - To Russia with Vengeance

Liliana finds a quiet place to use a computer terminal - she is kind of unsure how to work it, but presses a couple buttons in frustration before pounding on the metal of the console frame Damnit - how the bloody hell does this thing work? Socrates... I...

To Russia with Vengeance

I'm just done - we've been waylaid and laid low for long enough. We need to be in Russia now! I finally hit my breaking point and tell Rocket that we're just going to have to go via the Rocket Express. Turns out the drones we were worried about appear t...

Thoughts on family - Brother Frederick

Recently, my thoughts have turned inward on my relationship with my family members, and one of the most important people in my life is my brother "Freddie" - in a world like this, perhaps there are still some happy endings to be found? I remember my ...

From Russia ... Interlude

Liliana arrives back to the base from Russia after dealing with her own parent’s safety, and runs quickly to the med bay, forgetting in her haste that it would undoubtedly be faster to fly. She finds Runeforce’s bed and launches herself over to it. ...

Who is Sharp(e)?

In a dream, Liliana hears a faint voice…the voice of Runeforce, "My child…please protect my child." When she awakes, Liliana is standing next to Cypher outside the military base camp where the team defeated the military forces. "What the bloody ...

Everybody is somebody's family

Everybody is somebody's family. We all know this, but sometimes these things slip our mind in the middle of life happening. It's all too easy to see Destroyer's soldiers as the enemy, but what we've learned recently with the help of Sharp and her team i...

A second chance for some

I used to fill my free time watching films and television, favoring Sci-Fi and fantasy movies. That hobby kept me occupied, but it kept me docile. My new "hobby" keeps me much more active, and is as good of a workout as most yoga programs, with the smal...

From the Frying Pan ….

My day was starting pleasantly enough - I was finally about to have a chat with Dragon Lady, whom I believe to be one of the few who share my love for a good tea. I was running through the options indecisively in my head when my train of thought drove of...

… to the Hibachi (to the washroom…)

This is what I remember my old life being like. It’s just another Thursday afternoon and I’m sitting at a rooftop restaurant table, enjoying a plate of masala hibachi rice with lovely company. Jerry knowing the owners certainly got us overly generou...

The Enemies and Sight Within

I haven’t really had a positive experience in the danger room before, but now that Jerry, Sandcrab and Socrates have made some updates to it, I’ve been convinced to try it again. They’ve made it, arguably, worse as far as I’m concerned – Now yo...

10:33 pm - 12.03.2022

Empty Shells, Empty Words

Sometimes I volunteer, sometimes I am volunteered - it's ever the slightest distinction. After wrapping up the destruction of the first Education Camp, all I want to do is curl up in bed and have a good cry. The deaths of children are horrific, even to ...

Remembering Rocket

The news Socrates and Sparks deliver to the team hits me hard - what dreadful news! A fine man, one whom I considered a friend, is gone. He was there for me when I needed help, and I for him. He's gone. He's Vanished. I didn't get to say ...
