2296, The scene is set in a post apocalyptic Mojave desert, 15 years after a joint effort of the New California Republic, the Rangers, and the mysterious benefactor of the New Vegas Strip, Mr. House pushed back an attempted invasion of the Mojave and a final battle was waved for control of the hydroelectric powerhouse, Hoover Damm.
In the aftermath, Mr. House was removed from power discreetly, due to the actions of a wasteland wanderer on a mission for revenge, known only as the Courier. Mr. House's iconic Lucky 38 casino opened its doors, for the first time, offering a single floor casino and bar, it's upstairs remained an exclusive and mysterious meeting place for the New Vegas Strip's elite. The Lucky 38 represented one of the cleanest, most secure facilities, protected, like the rest of the strip, by the Securitron Mk 2, predominantly. Their presence ensured visitors on the Strip behaved themselves, though the other casinos maintained their own security and 'house rules' internally.
The Strip defined and maintained its status as an independent entity, determining through the Courier's observations that the NCR was stretching it's military might too thin, and couldn't realistically manage over the Strip and Mojave, so a new deal was struck, similar to the prior, but with The Strip extending it's Securitron security to enforce the immediately surrounding communities and a few outlying satelites. Trade to the surrounding areas increased, the Mojave benefitting from the prewar tech, pre-programmed security forces. The drug addicted fiends and other Raider groups would never be any match for their advanced weaponry, and ultimately were cleared out of existence.
The King's continued to watch over Freeside, making alliances with the Follower's of the Apocalypse... their desire to service the needs of the belittled, disadvantaged and destitute lined up, and this is where Mr. Wolf found his place in the story... the Courier and a Follower's doctor found love in the wasteland.... and raised a child together under a Ranger's flag... 23 years later? This is New Vegas...
A handsome man in a leather jacket sat in a dusty leather booth watching one of the girls dance on a pole, shaking her ass as bottle caps clinked on the stage in front of her. It was a swanky post apocalyptic casino strip club. A man in a leather jacket stood nearby, his hands crossed in front of his chest, "Kings" embroidered across the back in silver letters. A waitress approached him carrying a glass of some amber colored liquor, and sat it down at the half moon table. She lingered a moment in her lacey body suit, following his gaze up to the girl rubbing her tits in some older cowboys face.
"You don't get jealous seeing her like that, Mr. Wolf." The girl bit her lip and met his eyes as he picked up his glass and swirled it before giving it a smell and taking a slow swig. He tilted his head looking her over. She couldn't possibly be older then 19. Tight, perky little thing.
Mr. Wolf smirked and shook his head. "I like her... nice and wet when she comes to my bed."
The girl blushed and bit her lip. "So you like to watch?" She surmised.
"I don't mind, but why do you ask?" Wolf had these intense eyes that shot arrows into your very soul. It made her incredibly nervous... but she found it deeply exciting at the same time.
"Well... I'm living in 206 now... maybe... you might stop by sometime and I could dance for you? I know I don't have her body but... if you wanted something that was a little fresher... something... just yours?" She figeted her fingers against the table.
Jason looked her over once more and smirked.
"Two-Oh-six, huh?" He tilted his head, considering.
She nodded.
"Leave your cum soaked panties on my doorknob one of these nights if you really need it and maybe I'll come see if you got the moves." His Texan accent was subdued, but enthrallingly charming with his confident, somewhat bored with reality overtones.
"M-my panties?" She stammered turning bright red. "On your doorknob?" Alexa couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"If you're gunna shoot your shot with a dom... with an alpha... you need to be willing to submit. If you can't do that... I'm not interested." Wolf shrugged, completely unphased.
"But what about... what if..." Alexa glanced at Laura, the clubs most iconic stripper in the club, perhaps even the whole Strip.
She was taking some NCR soldier to the VIP lounge for a private dance.
Alexa had been bold enough to offer herself but now she was feeling nervous. If Laura wanted her out, she could lose her job... her home.
"Oh she won't mind... if anything she'll want to watch." Wolf shook his head, sensing her anxiety.
"Assuming of course... she likes the way you smell... she's funny like that." Wolf let the conversation end and Alexa nervously retreated.
Wolf sat drinking by himself, but got bored.
"Jakey, go get yourself a drink and sit down, I'm bored." Wolf called to his body guard.
Jacob looked over and nodded, giving the lounge one last look around before approaching the bar and getting himself a mug of beer, from the tuxedo shirt and boytie bartender Gerald, and returning to the table.
"What's on your mind boss?" Jacob had his hair slicked back in the usual King's gang hairstyle.
"Heard any rumors lately?" Wold looked at him, taking a drag from his cigarette and flicking the pack over to him.
"Honestly, boss, aside from the occasional drunkard or fiend rolling through freeside, nothing out of the ordinary... well, except... a way's out.. the crazy lady... Gloria was swearing up and down she found a headless metal suit of armor.. said the Enclave would burn down New Vegas. God's wraith and all that, you know how she gets."
"Enclave?" Jason's attention was piqued.
"Yeah, I don't know, she was probably just in withdrawal from the Jet... said she found it in the hollowed out shell of the Super Duper, out by the old highway." Jacob shrugged and drank from his beer and pulled a cigarette from the pack.
Wolf finished the last drag of his own cigarette. "Has anyone validated her claims?"
"Well... no... but... I mean... you've met her, she sees things that aren't there, all the time." Jacob shrugged and lit a cigarette.
Jason squinted, considering the resident crazy ladies most recent half coherent ramblings.
"That's an oddly specific hallucination though....take a group of guys out there tonight... humor me, and make sure she's not right." Wolf lifted his glass.
"Sir?" Jacob raised an eyebrow, thinking surely this could wait until tomorrow.
"Hypothetically" Wolf pondered aloud, "If there was... for some reason, there in-fact was... a pre-war, piece of military tech out there....a T-45, let's say, or T-60, best case scenario? We want it. Even if it's not at 100% capacity? It's fusion core alone... could change up the game for Freeside, something like that could make our tiny little city independent. We wouldn't have to be reliant on the scraps of New Vegas, and forget about the Hoover Dam completely."
Jacob caught Mr. Wolf's drift.. a fusion core could mean producing its own, radiation-free water, it's own electricity.. not just a little, a lot. Powering long dead machines, not to mention the agricultural benefits... producing healthier, higher yield tobacco... expanding their income ten fold.
Jacob suddenly felt like he understood Mr. Wolf's vision for the future.
"I should... go and deploy the King's to investigate." Jacob concluded.
"I think that would be for the best, I can take care of myself here." Wolf waved Jacob off.
Jacob downed his beer and excused himself.
Wolf drank the rest of his whiskey, extinguishing his cigarette.
Laura, the dancer came up to the table, and Wolf motioned to the blushing new waitress for a round, who felt a twinge of jealousy seeing her crush with the most popular stage act in town. She bit her tongue though, bringing over two more heavy pours of whiskey.
Laura eyed the girl as she came and went.
"She likes you." Laura concluded as the waitress walked away.
"Yeah.. I think she does." Mr. Wolf shrugged, flicking her a cigarette.
"The NCR boy liked me." She giggled wiping a little bit of cum from her lips and used half her shot like mouthwash.
"Get anything out of him.. other then.. his seed?" Wolf sighed.
"Of course," She grinned mischievously, "Apparently there's been trouble out West with the Brotherhood. They had some type of skirmish? Apparently NCR lost? NCR was apparently holding some old world tech, I don't know, but apparently it lit up the west coast power grid, like... in it's entirely?" Laura tilted her head to look at him.
"The entire western power grid was lit up by a single piece of tech??" Wolf shook his head at the topless girl beside him.
"Yeah, I had to make him cum twice for more details, but apparently it's the size of a grain of rice, with quote, unlimited energy potential." Laura relayed the information. It seemed more important then a suit of power armor or its fusion core.
"Who else knows about this?" Wolf demanded with his eyebrows squinted against his eyes.
"Anyone with a functional light bulb for... like... three hundred miles?" Laura guessed with a shrug.
"You said... it was the Brotherhood that took the win on the skirmish?" Wolf clarified some details.
"Yeah... rumor has it they have a new up and coming knight that's making waves." Laura shrugged.
"Stay on the rumors... I need details." Mr. Wolf nodded at her, drank his whiskey and stood up, downing his drink.
An energy source that powerful would have a big effect on the balance of power in the Mojave. It could mean a resurrection of the New California Republic to it's former glory and then some, and potentially... might mean a renewed effort to reclaim the western part of the former United States, in time.

This is the list that I wrote for Oklahoma's execution roster since the nationwide reinstatement of capital punishment in the late 1970s. Something that should be mentioned is that given the nature of many death penalty related crimes, many of the descriptions contain very disturbing details. Please read at your own risk.
Florida's list is next, and I'll post my list for Texas once I've completed it. With Texas, I've currently finished 464 entries out of the 587 cases to date. That will probably take 7 or 8 posts for it all to be released, so I'll probably do two posts a day with Texas to avoid spamming the sub. At the end of this year, I'll repost the states that have conducted further executions with the updated information.
As with Missouri and Virginia, Reddit's maximum character count limitations forced me to divide Oklahoma's list into two separate parts. Here is the link to part 2.
The currently 124 executed offenders, cases 1 to 62:
1. Charles Coleman (~1950s-1990, lethal injection): A month after he was released on parole in 1979, Coleman broke into a house. While sacking it for any valuables, the homeowner’s brother and sister in law, 68 year old John and 62 year old Roxie Seward, walked in on him and were both shot dead. Coleman stole Roxie’s purse, several packets of frozen meat, and the homeowner’s watch during the burglary, and was arrested shortly afterwards. However, Coleman managed to escape custody, and went on a rampage that involved several burglaries, auto thefts, slitting the throat of a policeman in a failed murder attempt, the shooting death of 49 year old Russell Lewis Jr. in a carjacking, and the abduction of a deputy. The kidnapped deputy was rescued following an armed standoff with other police officers. Coleman had an extensive history of animal cruelty, armed robberies, assaults, and carrying concealed weapons convictions dating back to when he was 11 years old. He was also heavily suspected in the murder of his teenage girlfriend’s father, but was acquitted by the courts despite the prosecution’s strong belief in his guilt.
2. Robyn Parks (1977-1992, lethal injection): During a gas station robbery, Parks shot and killed Abdullah Ibrahim, a 24 year old Bangladeshi immigrant that worked as the attendant. According to Parks, he murdered Ibrahim for catching him using a stolen credit card.

4. Thomas Grasso (~1970s(?)-1995, lethal injection): While living in Oklahoma, Grasso strangled 87 year old Hilda Johnson, the best friend of his girlfriend's grandmother, to death with her Christmas lights. He took $8 from her purse, several coins that added up to $4, and a television set that he sold for $125. Grasso then moved to New York, and strangled 81 year old Leslie Holtz for his social security check. The trialing arrangements caused some controversy, as the New York governors at the time were anti death penalty, and tried to prevent Grasso's extradition in favor of giving him a life sentence in their jurisdiction. Grasso had several previous convictions for theft and was fired multiple times for stealing from his jobs.
5. Roger Stafford (~1974(?)-1995, lethal injection): Stafford was condemned for killing at least 9 people in two separate robbery incidents with his brother and ex wife, though his ex wife claimed that he was involved with as many as 34 murders nationwide. The first convicted incident was when he and the ex wife carjacked and fatally shot a couple, 38 year old Melvin and 31 year old Linda Lorenz, and their son, 12 year old Richard. A few weeks after the Lorenz murders, Stafford stormed a restaurant and gunned down 6 employees, 56 year old Isaac Freeman, 43 year old Louis Zacarias, 17 year old Anthony Tew, 17 year old David Lindsey, 16 year old David Salsman, and 15 year old Terri Horst. One of Stafford's additional attributed victims was 20 year old Jimmy Berry, who was killed in the hold up of an Alabaman McDonalds, but he wasn't charged by the state due to his death sentences in Oklahoma.
6. Robert Brecheen (1983-1995, lethal injection): Breechen was involved in a feud over money with 59 year old Mary Stubbs and her husband. In an attempt to take what he perceived was owed to him, Breechen carried out a night time burglary of their home. While rummaging through the house, Breechen stumbled upon old Marie in her living room and shot her to death. The gunshots and screams awoke her husband, and he chased him away with his own gun.
7. Benjamin Brewer (1978-1996, lethal injection): Brewer raped his neighbor, 20 year old Karen Stapleton, in her home and stabbed her to death
8. Steven Hatch (1979-1996, lethal injection): Hatch and another assailant, Glen Ake, forced themselves inside the home that Richard Dougass, a 43 year old reverend, shared with his wife, 36 year old Marilyn, and their two children, 16 year old Brooks and 12 year old Lesile. The pair tied up the family and raped Lesile in front of her parents and brother. All four family members were shot, and Hatch and Ake ran off with $43 and the parents’ wedding rings. Richard and Marilyn were both killed in the shootings, while their children survived the attack. Ake was also initially condemned for the attack, but his sentence was overturned and resentenced to life following mental health concerns, and passed away from undisclosed natural causes in 2011.
9. Scott Carpenter (1994-1997, lethal injection): In a convenience store robbery, Carpenter stabbed the owner, 56 year old A. J. Kelley, in the neck, and hid the body in the minnow room. He filled his truck with $37 worth of gas from the pumps and drove away from the scene. His execution caused some controversy, as it was reported that Carpenter gasped and spasmed for 11 minutes after being injected.
10. Michael Long (1997-1998, lethal injection): Enraged that his coworker, 24 year old Sheryl Graber, refused him sex and started screaming for help, he stabbed her over 31 times. Long also shot and killed her son, 5 year old Andrew, for being a witness.
11. Stephen Wood (1992-1998, lethal injection): While heavily intoxicated, Wood stabbed two other homeless men, 46 year old Charles Stephen and 34 year old Charles Von Johnson, dozens of times each. He was given a life sentence for both of their murders. During his incarceration, Robert Brigden, a 59 year old former minister that was serving a 40 year sentence for molesting several girls between the ages of 4-14 in his congregation, moved into his unit after refusing to go into protective custody. Woods killed Brigden in a stabbing attack, and his sentence was escalated to death by the courts for it.
12. Tuan Anh Nguyen (~1982-1998, lethal injection): By all accounts, Nguyen was jealously possessive over his wife, 21 year old Donna. During one of their arguments over his behavior, he stabbed Donna, her 6 year old nephew Joseph White, and her 3 year old niece Amanda White, in their home and left the bodies to be found by the children’s parents. He fled to Arizona, groomed a 14 year old girl into an illicit “relationship”, and impregnated her. After he convinced her to move in with him, Nguyen physically and sexually abused the girl until she fled and went to the local police for help. Nguyen was then deported back to Oklahoma to face trial for Donna and the White children’s slayings, and was sentenced to death for them.
13. John Duvall (1986-1998, lethal injection): During a fight with his wife, 30 year old Donna, Duvall stabbed and suffocated her to death with a pillow.
14. John Castro Sr. (1983-1999, lethal injection): Castro carjacked Beulah Cox, a 31 year old Oklahoma State University student, after she picked him up hitchhiking and shot her to death. A few months later, Castro held up a restaurant with an empty pistol, and attacked the manger, 29 year old Rhonda Pappan, after forcing her to open the register. During their struggle, Pappan was fatally stabbed, and he took off with her purse. During his mid teens, Castro was allegedly molested by his mother. Castro's attorneys made the argument that his glimpses of Cox's buttocks reminded him of his mother's reported abuse, and he was triggered into attacking her for it.
15. Sean Sellers (1985-1999, lethal injection): In 1985, a then 15 year old Sellers tried to buy beer from a convenience store, but the clerk, 32 year old Robert Bower, denied him due to being underaged at the time. Sellers gunned him down in a fit of rage. A year later, Sellers shot and killed his mother, 32 year old Vonda Bellofatto, and stepfather, 43 year old Paul, in their sleep. Due to being 16 at the time of his conviction, Sellers remains the youngest condemned offender to have his sentence carried out in the post Furman era. He also attracted national media attention for claiming that his crimes were the result of demonic possession.
16. Scotty Moore (1983-1999, lethal injection): Moore was fired from a motel for undisclosed reasons. In retaliation, Moore and a cousin (whom he was dating at the time), assaulted the motel, and gunned down the desk clerk, 42 year old Alex Fernandez. According to court documents, the pair took a total of $97 in the robbery.
17. Norman Newsted (1984-1999, lethal injection): Newsted tricked Lawrence Buckley, a 26 year old cab driver, into picking him up. He shot Buckley dead and took his wallet.

20. Malcolm Johnson (~1970s(?)-2000, lethal injection): Johnson invaded the apartment of 76 year old Ura Thompson and sexually assaulted her. Thompson either died from having her chest compounded during the abuse or was suffocated by Johnson’s hands covering her nose. He seized several possessions such as furs, typewriters, purse, watch, rings, and a hand mirror, which were discovered by police in his residence during an unrelated investigation of a firearms possession charge. Johnson had an extensive criminal history, which included several convictions of rape, armed robberies, and burglaries. The case attracted controversy when it was discovered that the lead chemist in the investigation misconducted several of her other cases, and forged some of the evidence used in the trial. Despite the other overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Johnson’s supporters took the opportunity to push a narrative of his innocence.
21. Gary Walker (~1960s-2000, lethal injection): Walker abducted, raped, and murdered at least 5 women, 36 year old Margaret Lydick, 35 year old Jane Hilburn, 32 year old Janet Jewell, 25 year old Valerie Shaw-Hartzell, and 24 year old DeRonda Roy, and non fatally assaulted several other women and teenage girls.

He claimed that the investigators tricked him into confessing with the promise of a plea deal that was allegedly withheld from him.
23. Kelly Rogers (1990-2000, lethal injection): Rogers’ girlfriend lured 21 year old Karen Lauffenburger into her apartment with a fake pizza order. They accosted her when she arrived with the delivery.

27. Roger Berget (~1985-2000, lethal injection): Berget carjacked and abducted 33 year old Rick Patterson with an accomplice, and shot him dead. He also admitted to the beating death of a roommate, 40 year old James Meadows, on the behalf of the man's wife. As a trivial side note, Berget's brother Rodney was executed in 2018 by the state of South Dakota for killing a prison guard [for more information, please see Rodney Berget's entry under the South Dakota section of my states with less then 10 executions post].
28. William Bryson (1988-2000, lethal injection): To collect a $300,000 life insurance policy, Marilyn Plantz recruited her boyfriend Byrson and his friend to kill her husband, 33 year old James.

His crimes were exposed when an 18 year old man he abducted escaped from him despite being shot and stabbed numerous times. By his own admission, Wallace murdered 18 year old Thomas Reed, 15 year old William Domer, 14 year old Mark McLaughlin, 14 year old Jeffrey Foster, and 12 year old Alonzo Cade.

The son was also assaulted with a hammer, and he received injuries to his right eye, right cheekbone, and his right forearm.
32. Wanda Allen (~1981-2001, lethal injection): In 1981, Allen got into a fight with her live in girlfriend, 21 year old Dedra Pettus, and shot her dead. Despite giving a bungled story about her being accidentally killed in a shootout with Pettus’ ex boyfriend to the investigators, Allen managed to secure a 4 year sentence for manslaughter after pleading guilty to a plea deal, and was released after serving two years. While incarcerated, she started dating a fellow inmate, 29 year old Gloria Leathers, and continued their relationship outside of prison. The couple’s relationship was marred with extreme domestic violence on Allen’s end. In one incident, Allen struck Leathers with a rake. In 1989, while they were arguing in front of a shopping center, Allen shot and killed Leathers. Leathers herself also had history of violence, and had a conviction for stabbing a woman to death. Allen and her defense team tried to use Leathers’ previous convictions to make a self defense argument, but that was shot down by the courts.

52. Earl Frederick Sr. (~1989-2002, lethal injection): Frederick beat Bradford Beck, a 41 year old veteran that was crippled during his service in the Vietnam war, to death in his home after befriending him. He ransacked the house and dumped Beck's body in a field. A second murder, the robbery and shooting death of a Texan man, 77 year old Shirley Fox, was also tied to him. However, authorities in Texas withheld from prosecuting Fredrick due to his death penalty trial and conviction in Oklahoma. Both Fox and Beck had physical disabilities, which led prosecutors to the conclusion that Frederick intentionally selected and depredated on disabled men.
53. Jerry McCracken (~1980s(?)-2002, lethal injection): McCracken and his accomplice shot up a bar, killed 3 patrons and the bartender, and made off with $350. The victims that lost their lives were 41 year old Carol McDaniels, 37 year old Timothy Sheets, 34 year old Steven Sheets, and 27 year old Tyrrell Boyd. Months before the mass shooting, McCracken was paroled after serving time for stabbing 3 people in a bar fight.
54. Jay Neill (1984-2002, lethal injection): During a bank robbery, Neill disemboweled and nearly decapitated 3 tellers, 42 year old Kay Bruno, 25 year old Joyce Mullenix, and 19 year old Jerri Bowles. A group of 4 customers, consisting of 33 year old Ralph Zeller, a married couple, and their 14 month old daughter, unwittingly walked in on him, and he herded them into a backroom to be shot. Zeller was killed, the couple were wounded, and Neill left the daughter unharmed due to running out of bullets. Neill's boyfriend was given a life sentence for the robbery and murders, despite not being directly involved.
55. Ernest Carter Jr. (~1989-2002, lethal injection): After being fired from an autoshop, Carter robbed it with an accomplice, and fatally shot a security guard, 35 year old Eugene Manowski. The pair stole the shop's tow truck, and later tried to burn it with Carter's girlfriend to destroy any traces of the crime. Carter was also previously accused of burning a friend to death in the previous year, but the charges were dismissed.
56. Daniel Revilla (1987-2003, lethal injection): While babysitting his girlfriend's son, 13 month old Mark Gomez, in their home, Revilla broke the boy’s ribs in a beating and scalded him with boiling water. When he brought the boy to a hospital, Revilla gave a story that he accidentally hit Gomez’s head with a door handle, which was quickly seen through by the staff. According to the accounts of his girlfriend and her family, Revilla was violently abusive to Gomez, and they recounted incidents of him trapping the boy in a kitchen drawer, dunking him in cold water, folding him into a pull up bed, and hanging him by his ankles with duct tape.
57. Bobby Fields (~1990s-2003, lethal injection): Fields shot and killed 77 year old Louise Schem while burglarizing her home.

According to court documents, Fields had a previous robbery and assault conviction, and several arrests for drug possession.
58. Walanzo Robinson (1989-2003, lethal injection): A member of the Gangster Bloods street gang, Robinson shot and killed 26 year old Dennis Hill, an affiliate of a rival gang, in a turf war over drug sales.
59. John Hooker (~1971-2003, lethal injection): As a teenager in 1971, Hooker attended a party at a friend's house, and got into an argument. In a fit of anger, he fatally shot 18 year old Alta Lang, and wounded two other partygoers. Due to the witnesses refusing to cooperate with the investigation and being unable to prove any calculated intentions, Hooker was given a manslaughter conviction, and released a few years later. After he was paroled, Hooker started dating Sylvia Stokes, and fathered several children with her. Their troubled relationship lasted for 8 years, and ended when Stokes filed a protection order against him. In retaliation, Hooker lured Stokes and her mother, 53 year old Durcilla Morgan, into his apartment and stabbed them both to death.
60. Scot Hain (~1980s-2003, lethal injection): Hain carjacked and abducted a couple, 27 year old Michael Houghton and 22 year old Laura Sanders. After taking $565 and some bags of clothing, he forced them into the trunk of their car at gunpoint, and burned them alive in it. He had several previous arrests for robbery, and was involved with a number of rapes and attempted kidnappings months before the Houghton and Sanders' murders.
61. Don Hawkins Jr. (1985-2003, lethal injection): Hawkins kidnapped 29 year old Linda Ann Thompson and her two daughters, aged 4 years old and 18 months old, from a mall. Although his original intentions were to ransom off Thompson and her children, Hawkins gang raped the captive woman with his cousin and his girlfriend's teenage nephew, and drowned her in a lake. Thompson's children were spared and simply left with a babysitter. Hawkins and his accomplice then went on a nation wide rampage with his accomplice that involved the abductions and rapes of several grown women and teenage girls, hanging 31 year old David Coupez of Colorado in his home while robbing him, and countless other robberies.
62. Larry Jackson (~1984-2003, lethal injection): In 1984, Jackson shot and killed his girlfriend, 19 year old Freda Washington. He accepted a plea deal that dumbed down the charges to second degree murder, and was given a 30 year sentence for it. During his incarceration, Jackson started a relationship with 29 year old Wendy Cade. Despite her promises of marriage after his release, Cade left him for another man, and they got engaged. When Jackson was assigned to a prison work crew, he snuck out and went to confront Cade. Reportedly, the two had bought alchool, cocaine, and cigerates together and had sex in Cade's apartment. However, they got into an argument, and he slashed Cade's throat and stabbed her 31 times with box cutters. Jackson then left with her jewelry, watch, and the keys to her jeep.

Vorneweg: Ich habe das Spiel selbst nicht gesehen.
Am heutigen Sonntag stand der 24. Spieltag in der 2. Bundesliga an. Am Nachmittag spielten die HSV-Frauen beim abstiegsbedrohten FC Bayern München II. in Aschheim. Die Konkurrenz um den Aufstieg hatte bereits um 11 Uhr vorgelegt: Carl Zeiss Jena schlug Eintracht Frankfurt II. mit 3:0, und mit dem gleichen Ergebnis schickte der SV Meppen den SV 67 Weinberg nach Hause. Nur Tabellenführer Turbine Potsdam kam bei der SG Andernach trotz 2:0-Führung nicht über ein 2:2 hinaus. Der HSV brauchte also unbedingt einen Sieg, um die Minimalchance am Leben zu erhalten. Fünf Punkte Rückstand wären es auf Turbine, vier auf Jena, drei auf Meppen, bei dann noch zwei ausstehenden Spielen. Doch die Bayern wollten dabei kein kleiner Snack zum Verputzen sein, denn mit einem Sieg hätten sie wiederum drei Punkte Vorsprung auf Weinberg auf dem erstn Abstiegsplatz.
Erste Statistikeinträge ließen zunächst auf sich warten. Der HSV brauchte 20 Minuten, um ins Spiel zu finden. Dann aber versuchte es Melina Krüger es erstmals mit einem Distanzschuss, den Bayerns Keeperin Anna Wellmann jedoch problemlos halten konnte (23.). Der HSV legte nun zu. Larissa Mühlhaus schickte in der 27. Minute rechts Lisa Baum von der Mittellinie auf dem Flügel in die Tiefe. Ihre Hereingabe mit dem schwächeren rechten Fuß rutschte aufs kurze Eck, und Wellmann musste mit einer Flugparade das 0:1 verhindern. Nach Ansicht des Schiedsrichtergespanns tat sie das nicht erst hinter der Linie. Eine Minute später ließ Svea Stoldt links am Strafraum Jana Kappes aussteigen und zog den Schuss mit links aufs lange Eck, doch wieder parierte Wellmann. Andere Situation, gleiches Ergebnis nach einem Einwurf von Sarah Stöckmann auf Mühlhaus, die sich um ihre Gegenspielerin wand und es aus spitzem Winkel probierte (33.).
Was ist die logische Konsequenz, wenn man seine Chancen nicht nutzt? Die Bayern spielten sich in der 41. Minute zentral durchs Mittelfeld. Kurz vor dem Strafraum war Stöckmann noch mit einer Grätsche dazwischen, aber Carla Schwarz holte den Ball runter, schloss aus 17 Metern ab und überwand Jolina Zamorano, die die erkrankte Almuth Schult ersetzte, zum 1:0 für die Münchenerinnen. Typisch HSV in dieser Rückrunde.
Zur Pause lag der HSV zurück. Zum dreizehnten Mal in dieser Saison. Nur drei Mal war danach noch ein Sieg herausgesprungen, zuletzt beim 3:2 im Rückspiel beim FC Ingolstadt vor zwei Monaten. Drei weiteren Unentschieden standen sechs Niederlagen gegenüber, unter anderem das 1:4 gegen diese Bayern im Hinspiel. Keine guten Aussichten. Und sie wurden auch nicht besser, als Pauline Machtens in der 56. Minute nach Doppelpass mit Dana Marquardt aus neun Metern völlig frei nur das Außennetz traf. Solche hundertprozentigen Chancen auszulassen konnten sie sich einfach nicht leisten. Sie brauchten Hilfe. Und die kam in der 68. Minute in Person von Jana Kappes. Nach einem Standard erlief Jana Braun links den Ball, ging tief über den Flügel in den Strafraum und passte scharf vors Tor. Am zweiten Pfosten lauerte nur Jobina Lahr, doch der Abwehrversuch von Kappes misslang vollkommen, und die Verteidigerin brachte die Kugel zum 1:1 im eigenen Netz unter.
Aber das reichte noch nicht. Es mussten zwei weitere Punkte her. Also versuchte es Mühlhaus in der 73. Minute mit einem Schlenzer aus 20 Metern - Zentimeter am linken Eck vorbei. Sie brauchten wieder Hilfe von den Bayern. Stöckmann bediente links Baum, die mit einem Übersteiger - ein klassischer Tanja-Vreden-Move, für die Leute, die die einstige Nummer 9 des HSV noch kennen - ihre Gegenspielerin düpierte und auf Verdacht flach und nicht allzu platziert in die Mitte gab. Theresa Keitel produzierte daraus jedoch eine Bogenlampe aufs eigene Tor, die Anna Wellmann in ihren Armen begrub, ehe Marquardt in sie hineinlief. Allerdings bekam die Schiedsrichterin von ihrer Assistentin an der Seitenlinie einen Wink und entschied auf Tor für den HSV. Wellmann hatte den Ball nach Ansicht der Unparteiischen wohl erst hinter der Linie gefangen. Das zweite Eigentor der Bayern, das Führungstor für den HSV in der 84. Minute. Die Proteste der Bayern nützten nichts.
So blieb es am Ende bei einem nach Chancenverhältnis verdienten, aber im Zustandekommen sehr glücklichen 2:1-Sieg des HSV, der weiter Fünfter bleibt. Allerdings dürften die Hoffnungen auf den Aufstieg in der kommenden Woche endgültig zerstört werden: Am vorletzten Spieltag kann Turbine Potsdam bereits am Samstag den Aufstieg beim Heimspiel gegen Aufsteiger Borussia Mönchengladbach eintüten, der auf Rang neun steht. Tags darauf kann Jena auswärts beim SV 67 Weinberg auf Platz 12 aus eigener Kraft aufsteigen. Sollte das nicht gelingen, kann der SV Meppen nicht nur auf Platz 2 vorbeiziehen, sondern praktisch den HSV aus dem Aufstiegsrennen nehmen, denn trotz drei Punkten Vorsprung haben sie schon jetzt eine um acht Tore bessere Tordifferenz, und sie spielen bei der als Absteiger feststehenden TSG Hoffenheim II.. Der HSV muss zum Tabellennnachbarn SG Andernach, und guckt man auf die Statistik, sehen die Siegchancen bei Spitzenspielen nicht unbedingt rosig aus: Drei Siegen gegen spielstarke Gegner stehen drei Niederlagen und zwei Punkteteilungen gegenüber.
Zusammenschnitt von Sporttotal
In der Regionalliga Nord konnte sich die U23 des HSV in der Tabelle verbessern. Durch einen 3:1-Auswärtssieg beim TSV Barmke - Debora Vinci (36.) und Laura Henke (53., 78.) drehten einen Rückstand noch um - schoben sie sich an den Bremer Teams ATS Buntentor und Werder Bremen II. vorbei auf Rang vier. Auf Platz drei, den die U20 des SV Meppen belegt, haben sie nur noch einen Zähler Rückstand, nachdem der FC St. Pauli den Emsländerinnen am Samstag ein 1:1 abgerungen hatte. Gleichzeitig wuchs der Abstand auf die Braun-Weißen auf 4 Punkte an. Zwei Spieltage vor Schluss gibt es also doch noch die Attacke auf Rang drei. Derweil durften die Ex-HSVerinnen Michelle Hille, Cathérine Knobloch und Vera Homp endlich jubeln. Mit einem 4:1 beim nächsten HSV-Gegner TuS Büppel, der damit auf Abstiegsplatz 11 rutschte, hat der SV Henstedt-Ulzburg acht Punkte Vorsprung auf Verfolger Hannover 96, steht als Meister der Regionalliga Nord und Teilnehmer an der Aufstiegsrunde zur 2. Bundesliga fest. "Mini" Hille steuerte einen Treffer zu diesem Erfolg bei. Die Aufstiegsspiele bestreitet HU am 9. (auswärts) und 16. Juni (zuhause) gegen den 1. FC Union Berlin, der mit 20 Siegen aus 20 Spielen ebenfalls bereits als Meister der Regionalliga Nordost feststeht. Der ambitionierte HSV-Relegationsgegner von 2023, Viktoria Berlin, liegt neun Punkte dahinter auf Rang 2, verlor beide Duelle mit den Unionerinnen. Mit etwas Glück könnte eines der Auswärtsspiele des HSV in der kommenden Saison gerade mal 12 Kilometer und vier Einmündungen entfernt sein...
Am Mittwochabend um 19:30 Uhr testet die U23 des HSV übrigens beim Oberligameister Eimsbütteler TV an der Gustav-Falke-Straße. Der ETV versucht die Zeit zu den Aufstiegsspielen zur Regionalliga gegen den TuS Schwachhausen (Oberliga Bremen) und entweder Rot-Schwarz Kiel oder Kieler MTV (Schleswig-Holstein) zu überbrücken. Wer also unter der Woche nix vorhat...

HAITI American Airlines, JetBlue Airways once more delay resumption of daily service into Haiti BY JACQUELINE CHARLES
MAY 10, 2024 10:39 AM
American Airlines has not flown into Haiti since March 4, 2024 ,when armed gangs targeted the country’s main airport in Port-au-Prince.

Flying in and out of Port-au-Prince on a major U.S. carrier will once more have to wait.
American Airlines and JetBlue Airways are again delaying the resumption of their daily service from the United States into Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Haiti’s gang-ridden capital. Now, one carrier is looking at the end of the month, the other after June. Both return dates would have U.S. flights out of Miami and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood return to the country after the arrival of the first deployment of Kenyan police as part of a multinational force to help Haiti cops battle gangs.
“The safety and security of our customers and crew members is our top priority. As a result of the recent civil unrest in Haiti, we have canceled operations through Tuesday, June 4,” JetBlue spokesman Derek Dombrowski said. “We continue to monitor the situation and are working closely with the U.S. embassy and our team in Haiti to determine next steps.”
U.S. officials involved in the deployment of the multinational security mission have declined to provide a specific date for the police officers’ arrival —or say how large the initial group will be, citing security concerns. Preparations, however, are under way to have the first foreign cops arrive in Port-au-Prince to help Haiti’s security forces.
the arrival of the first contingent of Kenyan police officers — the backbone of the Multinational Security Support mission — is scheduled to coincide with the May 23 state visit to Washington by Kenya President William Ruto and his wife, Rachel Ruto. The couple is being hosted by President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden.
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, who is in Nairobi attending the U.N. Civil Society Conference, saluted Kenya’s leadership on Haiti, telling Ruto the help “is so desperately needed.”
“I am particularly grateful to Kenya for agreeing to lead international efforts to quell the violence in Haiti,” he later said at the opening of a press conference.
This week some of the people involved in the deployment, including a security official from Jamaica, which is in charge of the Caribbean contingent, attended discussions in Washington, D.C. about the first phase. Meanwhile, the Doral-based U.S. Southern Command has been coordinating U.S. military flights into Haiti. As many as three flights a day have been arriving in Port-au-Prince with supplies, equipment and civilian personnel to help build a base for the foreign forces.
The Biden administration has pledged $300 million toward the security effort, though officials continue to face money constraints. Republican lawmakers in Congress, who have raised questions about the mission, are blocking $40 million of the $100 million the State Department has pledged. The other $200 million is from the Defense Department and includes in-kind support for the operations.
In an opinion column in the Miami Herald this week,James B. Foley, a former U.S. ambassador to Haiti, sounded the alarm over the blocking of the money, noting that while he respects the right of Congress to demand accountability, “the fact is that situations of this kind are fluid and every detail cannot be spelled out in advance.
“This operation is critical to multiple U.S. national security interests and it needs to get off the ground before it is too late. Moreover, other donors potentially willing to help underwrite the mission are sitting on the fence, waiting to see if the U.S. is serious or not. That is indeed the critical unanswered question, the key to which lies in Republican hands.”
Neither Dombrowski of JetBlue nor American Airlines spokeswoman Laura Masvidal cited the ongoing plans to deploy troops as the reason for their company’s delay in return to Haiti. However, the new schedule for both airlines will have services return after the Kenyan cops arrive.
Masvidal says flights from Miami International Airport into Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Port-au-Prince are now scheduled to start on May 30th. They were previously supposed to start on May 16 after being pushed back from May 9.
Earlier this week, Dania Beach-based Spirit Airlines, which announced a resumption of flights for Friday, May 10, from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International into Cap-Haïtien, said its Port-au-Prince flights remain suspended until further notice. JetBlue, which connects Port-au-Prince to both John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York and and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood, previously announced It would resume its services on May 15.
“For the latest fee waivers and to check flight status, customers should go to jetblue.com. If customers want to change destinations, they can cancel and use the fare for other flights,” Dombrowski said.
Haiti’s main international airport, domestic airport and government seaport have been shut down for the past two months after armed gangs launched a broad assault against the government and key infrastructure. At least three planes leased by the country’s national carrier, Sunrise Airways, were struck by bullets during one of the attacks, forcing the suspension of in-country flights in and out of Port-au-Prince.
The ongoing closure of the facilities have been costly for Haiti, which has one of the highest government taxes on airline tickets in the region and charges $10 for every passenger without a Haitian passport or proof they were born in the country.
In hopes of resuming flights, the government has demolished hundreds of homes around the airport to remove gangs’ ability to use rooftops to fire at planes.
The govermment has also built several security towers around the airport and continues to have police officers and members of the army patrol both inside and out to prevent any security breaches.

Episode 93: Bittersweet Reunions

You all were making your way southeast from where you were laying low from Kymal, hopefully to get to Zephrah to find the Tempest.

Currently, just as a little reminder for the group, we have a big ol’ bubble of Darkness in the middle of the field, so none of you saw Ted disappear back into Opal’s body as Opal grows, stretches out a little taller, three sets of arms, and renewed specific, violent purpose to shake you off, to get away, so that she can take her place beside or in front of the Spider Queen for whatever’s coming as the Moon of Ill Omen turns its gaze on the gods of Exandria. We have Haste, we have Darkness, and a Bless.

INTERMISSION

It is here, Dorian Storm, after emerging from the tree, the Voice of the Tempest that you’ve briefly encountered in your previous travels with Orym before you and Fearne and him made your way to the continent of Marquet, to adventures that have thrown all manner of chaos, challenge, and sorrow into everyone’s lives since. Still holding close to that pain, you watch as Keyleth approaches, acknowledging you, present though magically cloaked, and says, “Dorian, it is good to see you. What brings you to Zephrah?”

• 03:09:13 Dorian begs Keyleth to retrieve the body of Cyrus.
• 03:17:05 Dorian receives a sending message from Orym.
• 03:20:43 Keyleth:“It all comes to the Hellcatch, where the god eater that sits in the core of that moon seeks to be released and devour the pantheon.” Keyleth briefs Dorian on the situation with Ruidus.
• 03:24:48 Dorian:“Well, I would say ‘To the Ends of the Earth’, but it seems as if we’re already there.”
• 03:29:42 Reunited and it feels so good. Laura enters with a titty dance inspired by Erica. Lots of hugs happen.

By Dennis Rodkin, Crain’s Chicago Business
May 03, 2024 03:34 PM
The lead-up to buying a house is going to start differently, with house hunters and brokers sitting down together to talk about money before they go look at homes, the National Association of Realtors announced Friday.
The change, which all brokers must implement by Aug. 17, will clarify that “nobody works for free,” said Mike Golden, co-CEO of @properties Christie’s International Real Estate, the biggest real estate brokerage based in Chicago.
In the past, before a recent court decision spurred changes in the industry, a broker could easily give a potential buyer the impression that “you’re not paying me, so let’s go start looking at houses for you,” Golden said. That was because the brokers for both seller and buyer were compensated by the sellers out of their proceeds from the sale.
The change, Golden said, means brokers “will tell you clearly, ‘these are the services I’ll provide while we’re looking for your house. I’ll be investing my time in you, and (in the end) I’ll be compensated, like anyone else who works for you.’”
It’s one plank in a platform of changes the trade group announced Friday as it moves away from the old practice of encouraging brokers for the buyer and seller to split commissions paid by the seller. Precipitated by a $1.7 billion verdict last October in a federal case where a jury found that the practice amounted to industry collusion that kept commissions high, NAR announced in March that it would abandon the practice and formulate new standards for compensating buyers’ brokers.
On Friday, NAR’s chief legal officer, Katie Johnson, issued an email laying out nine changes that will take effect Aug. 17. Most of them are “backstage” changes that primarily impact brokers and multiple-listing services.
But among them is one that codifies what many people in the industry say is a substantive change in the way homebuyers go through the process. It requires agents “working with a buyer to enter into a written agreement with a buyer prior to touring a property,” Johnson’s email to the media said.
Along with clarifying that brokerage isn’t a free service to buyers, the change further “professionalizes our industry,” Golden said. Brokers representing sellers are schooled in explaining their value by showing the potential client all their marketing tools, such as agents-only apps, staging services and individual property websites.
But the buyer broker “didn’t have to tell you much,” Golden said. “That’s going to change.”
Some buyers are sure to be intimidated by the change, said Laura Ellis, president of residential sales at Chicago-based Baird & Warner. Shortly after the October court decision, she predicted buyer-broker agreements would become the new standard.
Ellis envisions buyers sitting across the table from a broker thinking, “wait a minute, I’ve been scraping to save up the 10%, 20% down payment, and now you’re telling me I have to pay you 2.5%, 3% on top of that?”
Ellis said professionalism and a clear approach will overcome that resistance. “All the surveys we’ve seen say buyers aren’t against the broker getting paid,” she said, “They just want to know what they’re paying for.”
To be clear: A buyer-broker agreement isn’t new. It’s already required in 19 of 50 states, Ellis said. What’s new is the industry-wide requirement that all buyers sign an agreement with a broker up front.
Jeff Kropp, broker-owner of the North Side firm Home Buyer Agents of Chicagoland, has been asking clients to sign a buyer agreement for 23 years. “It’s a highly effective, transparent way to be very clear about how I get paid and what value I provide my clients,” he said.
It’s also been a good way to detect buyers who “aren’t serious about working with one agent,” Kropp said. “They’re going to go see some properties with you, then go see some with another agent,” in essence gobbling up free samples.
Requiring a buyer-broker agreement, Kropp said, is long overdue. “It always struck me as odd that you’re entering into this relationship where you’re going to make probably the biggest investment of your life,” he said, but you have no written agreement.”
Particularly in the beginning, when the forms are relatively new, some buyers might be turned off, said Ed Lukasik Jr., the broker owner of Re/Max Professionals in Bolingbrook. They’ll likely be the same people who under the old system believed “they didn’t need representation,” he said. “They’ll call the listing agent directly to see the house,” only to learn later of the many complexities a buyer’s broker is skilled at handling. They include radon and other disclosures and comprehension of the intricacies of a bidding in a multi-offer situation.
Lukasik avoided saying those people will come running back to a buyer broker, but said “they have to be very confident about representing themselves.”
Ellis said the people who might be most intimidated by the new rule aren’t buyers but real estate agents.
“It’s unnerving for an agent to have to look the buyer in the eye and say, ‘You’re going to pay me 3%’ when they’ve never had to do that before,” she said. “Some won’t be able to do it. Just won’t be able to do it.” Ellis expects to see some agents who’ve worked exclusively on the buyer side to leave the business as a result.
“The more proficient, confident professional agents will get more business,” Ellis said, “because they know their value and they know how to explain it.”

I started a fresh character intending to use the Masochist card the entire game. While doing this I've also been cataloging every single Named Zombie I've come across to make sure I get them all. I've been staying out of SoLa on purpose with this character to make sure those named zombies don't mess with my count. I did complete the Haus story line and have accounted for the 3 named zombies you encounter just doing the Haus story. That leaves me currently after completing all sidequests, the story, and doing all the lockboxes, at 145/146 zombies for base game.
I made sure to check that both Amanda Styles and Butcho counted towards my count and they did when I killed them. The only anomaly I've found is you get credit for a named zombie immediately upon entering the Brentwood Sewers during the It's Not Your Fault quest. When you later kill the Seismologist named zombie, you don't get credit for it. I have cataloged this happening 3 times and recorded it once. I can only assume this unaccounted for zombie when you enter the sewer is the game erroneously giving you credit ahead of time however I can't be sure until I've figured out who this 146th zombie is. Otherwise I have to assume the seismologist is bugged and the named zombie count is incorrectly inflated by 1.

Log book of Det. Ryan Snow Case #2798: the Appalachian Murders Description of enclosed evidence: One bloody, torn up, blue and green guest book retrieved from suspect.
I have read through the guest book entries during the time Kate Blackwell (only survivor and possible suspect of the Appalachian Murders during the week of 09/20/2017-09/26/2017) and her friends were staying in one of the three cabins owned by Cloud Nine Vacation Rentals in the Appalachian Mountains. It appears the group wrote in it each day leading up to the murders, recording everything happening within the cabin.
The first entry was written by Blackwell, stating that the cabin was beautiful and that she was looking forward to the rest of the week. The next entry was written by Paul Woolfe asking about the attic, stating that the group was hearing sounds, but the door was locked. They pass it off as an animal having getting itself stuck up there, but that the girls would be asking the land lord, a Mrs. Alba Larson, for a key to get it out. Note: Mrs. Larson had indeed owned the three cabins in those mountains, but had passed away in 2005 and the property was bought by Cloud Nine Vacation Rentals not long after when no next of kin was found.
The entries that followed are when my concerns for the well being of not just Ms. Blackwell, but the rest of the group as well began. It was written on the same day as when Ms. Blackwell and Sonja Greymoore said they'd be going to speak to Mrs. Larson about the attic. I will be attaching the more concerning entries to this log, only giving my commentary during points of no consequence to the murders. I will also be attaching the earlier entries from before Blackwell's arrival to see if I can find any similarities between each guests' stay. As far as I know, there have been several missing persons cases concerning that area, however, it is common for people to go missing in the Appalachian Mountains on a daily basis, most of which go cold. One of the only known murders to occur in either of the three cabins happened in 2010. The suspect, a Mr. Leighton Raines, pleaded guilty to the death of his fiancé, Mrs. Bonnie "Bunny" Collins and was given life in prison with no chance of parole. Mrs. Collins was found with her torso cut open and her heart missing. Mr. Raines was in the corner of the room they were found in covered in Mrs. Collins' blood. The couple wrote in the guest book as well. All others before and after were never found or heard from again, but again, those cases went cold and it was speculated that their fates were left to the mountains.
However, I'd be lying if I said most of these entries were not the least bit concerning.
Guest book entries from Cabin #2 of Cloud Nine Vacation Rentals in the Appalachian Mountains concerning the murders that took place during the dates between 09/20/2017-09/26/2017
Entry #3 09/21/2017- This was recorded the second day of the groups' time in the cabin. The group was hearing sounds in the attic that was locked, group believed it was an animal, so Ms. Blackwell and Ms. Greymoore went to ask the land lord for a way to the attic. This entry is believed to have been written by Ms. Greymoore.
The land lady wasn't in her house. We tried to look in through the window to see if she was in there, but the place looked empty. Kate tried to call her, but she's not answering. We're going to try finding out who this lady is and really give her a piece of our mind! The boys are saying that they're going to try breaking in to the attic and get whatever is up there out. Kate and Jasper are worried about getting in trouble, but I'm not going to sleep with all that noise over my head!
Entry #4 09/21/2017- After some analysis of the handwriting, it's believed this was written by Jasper Steele.
We apologize for the attic door. We were able to get it open and we thankfully didn't find an animal, but that noise is still concerning us. It stopped and we didn't find anything up there, but we're a little freaked out. Is this some kind of prank?
Entry #5 09/21/2017- Written by Ms. Blackwell
There's was a fucking Ouija Board up in the attic! Hell to the fuck no! First the noises the origins of which we no not, now there's a Oujia Board! Where's that land lady?
Note: During my first successful interrogation of Ms. Blackwell, she told me about the night they played with the Ouija board and that they stopped playing when it answered a question she asked correctly. Ms. Blackwell was not directly playing the game and she asked a question about what she was thinking about in that moment they were playing. It was after this night she states things got worse. Based on the entries here on, I believe her friends would share this sentiment.
Entry #6 09/22/2017- Handwriting analysis points to this entry was written by Paul Woolfe.
We still can't reach the land lord. She's still no where to be found at her house. We tried patching the attic door up as best we could, but the lock is still broken. We put the Ouija board away because it was scaring Kate, but we didn't put it back in the attic. Luke wants to play it again when things settle back down, but there's still noises coming from in the house. We're looking around for what's making these sounds, but we can't find where they'd be coming from. I'm just gonna say this place is way old and not caught up on any safety regulations.
Note: To save time, the next entries to follow for the next two days are about the group complaining about the faulty wiring and possible tilt of the cabin due to lights turning on and off depending on how they were left before a person left a room or an item being placed somewhere they didn't leave it. Ms. Blackwell told me of all this as well. The entry I'm attaching after this is presumably when Ms. Blackwell told me about Ms. Greymoore wanting to leave because of her boyfriend, Luke Billings, being caught cheating on her with multiple girls. I will be doing a search on each of these girls during the time of this investigation to see what they knew of Luke and his relationship to each of these victims and Ms. Blackwell.
Entry #10 09/24/2017- Written by Ms. Greymoore
I hated it here. I hope this old bitch loses money and goes bankrupt. The fucking sounds, the God damn voices, and now Luke wants to get violent! I'm never coming back to this place ever again! Everyone here can bite me!
Entry #11 09/24/2017- Written by Ms. Blackwell. During interrogation, she stated that it was midnight when this event took place, hence the sudden date change.
She was out there. The land lord. She was outside, just standing there like she was waiting for Sonja and I to get to my car. Paul and Luke went to talk to her, but she ended up stabbing Paul. Luke says she slashed our tires. She's still just standing there. We can't call anyone because there's no service now. We stopped Paul's bleeding as best we could and are trying to get him to rest. We're going to take shifts watching the land lord. If she tries anything, we agreed to wake the rest up and try ambushing her. I'm so sorry... I just wanted to go on vacation with my friends one more time...
Entry #12 09/24/2017- The next entries will be of the group going on shifts, recording each hour the supposed Mrs. Larson just stands outside the cabin. The first is recorded by Jasper Steele.
1:00 am. No movement detected.
Entry #13 09/24/2017- Written by Mr. Billings
2:00 am. No movement detected.
Entry #14 09/24/2017- Written by Ms. Greymoore
3:00 am. Land lord looks at the knife before looking back to cabin. No movement from here on.
Entry #15 09/24/2017- Written by Ms. Blackwell
4:00 am. No movement, but I hear the voices. They keep telling me to go outside. I won't do it. I don't want to. Not with her out there. Why is this happening?
Entry #16 09/24/2017- Written by Mr. Steele
5:00 am. She looks at knife before back to cabin. The voices we keep hearing are telling me to blame Kate for bringing us here. I don't.
Entry #17 09/24/2017- Written by Mr. Billings
6:00 am. Sun starts coming up. Land lord looks at it and shuffles off into the woods. No idea where she went. Paul's wound is bleeding through the rags we used to stop the bleeding, but he's breathing and is staying aware. Sonja hasn't spoken to me. She's sleeping as far from me as possible near Kate. I didn't mean to... Hit Kate or Sonja for that matter... I just... These voices... They won't shut up... I know how Sonja felt about Kate, but... She was with me... I just thought... I... I thought I could get back at her for cheating on me, but it all just spiraled... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry...
Entry #18 09/24/2017- Written by Mr. Woolfe
The land lord slashed all of our tires, even the spares. We're going to the trails to get to high ground to try get cell service. If we don't get back home when we told our families we would, we're either lost somewhere on the Appalachian Mountains or that land lord did something to us. Please let us find a way out of this.
Note: There is one more entry written in the guest book. However, it appears to have been written by Ms. Blackwell after the murders took place. She told me that it was when the group returned to the cabin and found the Ouija board on the coffee table that that's when things got blurry for her. I will try to get her to give me a more detailed explanation of that night. If I can get her lawyer, Mrs. Mayfield, away from her long enough that is.
Mr. Steele had been found in the attic, the door shut and locked. It looked like he'd been attacked by some kind of animal; torn and his limbs scattered about the attic. Mr. Billings was found in the living room next to the coffee table where the Ouija board was with a head wound. Hikers found Mr. Woolfe dead from possible blood loss and his body picked off by wild life, his mother identified him by the tattoo of a sword on his arm. And Ms. Greymoore was found in a shallow grave with a piece of paper in her hands near a cave, the grave marked by a stone with a bloody hand print which was found to be Ms. Blackwell's. The back of Ms. Greymoore's head was found caved in and her spine broken. It's assumed she fell and died shortly after. It's believed Ms. Blackwell buried her with the note before making her to the road where she was found. The paper she used came from the guest book.
The note read: Sonja Greymoore, 18. My family lives in Fayetteville, North Carolina. My dad is Owen Greymoore, he works at Kelly's Tires and Tune Ups. There's four others. One is somewhere out here in the woods, two are in Cabin #2 on 3000 Fairy Wood Lane, and the last one is either wandering somewhere around these mountains, dead, or was found by police. Please get us home.
Ms. Blackwell had been picked up by the teens the day before her friends were found. There were no other people, living or dead, found in those mountains. This thing Ms. Blackwell says is to blame for her friends' death is still unknown. I will need to do even more digging as it seems, based on the other entries before this case, there is a pattern to these cabins. I will contact Cloud Nine Rentals once I understand more of these cabins' histories.
The last entry made by Ms. Blackwell in the guest books reads:
09/30/2017... I think...
If anyone finds this, my name is Kate Blackwell. I invited my friends on vacation before we went our seperate ways to college. There names were Sonja Greymoore, Jasper Steele, Paul Woolfe, and Luke Billings. I buried Sonja near a rock with my hand print on it. Paul is somewhere near one of the trails. Luke and Jasper are in Cabin #2 on 3000 Fairy Wood Lane. I'm not entirely sure who killed them all, but I was the one who brought them here... It was all my fault... I should have just let them go... Being alone would have been worth it if it meant they'd still be around... I should have trusted we'd stay in touch... It's all my fault... I'm sorry... I'm so, so sorry... If I die out here, I deserve it... If anyone finds me... I'm sorry to everyone's families... It was my fault and I wish I could take it back... I want to take it all back... I'm sorry... I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
Note: The phrase "I'm sorry" continues on until Ms. Blackwell runs out of ink.
The next attachments are the more concerning entries from the guest book before Ms. Blackwell's arrival.

Note: I'll need to question Mr. Raines, see if I can get more details on his case from his perspective. It almost sounds similar to Ms. Blackwell's. There may be someone else involved. I will update more in this log when I get more information.

Log book of Det. Ryan Snow Case #2798: the Appalachian Murders Description of enclosed evidence: One bloody, torn up, blue and green guest book retrieved from suspect.
I don't know what the hell just happened. I had received a call from an unknown number on my work land line. The reception was awful, but I could make out that it was male, possibly of an older age. He sounded upset, asking for a female and begging I "bring her back." The way he spoke didn't sound demanding. He sounded upset. Like a child who had their toy taken away and they were pleading to get it back. I assumed he was talking about Ms. Blackwell, but I never got any real helpful information from him.
Front desk had received the call first, the operator saying he sounded normal when she picked up. He had asked to speak to me, but refused to give a name, telling the operator the call was classified and that it was information meant only for me. He wasn't on the line long enough for the station to track where he was calling from.
However, all of that wasn't what was bothering me about this whole interaction. He had called me "Lucky Dime." Only one person ever called me that and there's no way anyone would know that except my parents and I rarely speak to them. Whoever this was, knew more than even my closest friends and I don't have any of those.
To hell with Mrs. Mayfield, I need to speak to Ms. Blackwell. Now.
Part 3
Part 1

1. We'll have to take any chance we can to emphasize our differences with the toxic Congress of the 90's that Lott embodied. We were elected as moderate problem solvers that could break through the Washington gridlock and dog gonnit we'll show the country we're just that.
   
2. The circumstances demand that I find common ground with these people. Get Danny Boy Dan Bartlett - White House Communications Director to draw up a speech about how we want to be a uniter and end Washington gridlock. Even if that means compromising on some things, I gotta get the country moving.
   
3. Laura and I have been dismayed by this whole thing. I know Denny wants all the facts to come out and he wants to make sure these children up there on Capitol Hill are protected, but we time to do that. We need time for an investigation. I'm confident the Minority Leader will provide what leadership he can to law enforcement here.
   
4. You bet I’m gonna go out there and pull every relationship I have to get this thing passed. I’ll be talking the ears off of Blue Dogs about bipartisanship and how they need to work with me if they want to keep their seats. This can really be a thing where we make the pie higher, get a win that benefits everyone.
   
5. Do we want to spend the next year being forced chasing our tail? Tell Rummy to work with the Democrats to find some projects that didn’t keep all their reciepts in order. None of our people need to suffer if we just cooperate. This isn’t hard.
   
6. There's disagreement among the rank and file, but I know that House leaders are with me in thinking this thing is infanticide, plain and simple. Let's get a strategy meeting with our folks on the Hill and see if we can't whip this bill below a two-thirds majority.
   
7. You bet I’m gonna. Fixing Social Security is part of my mandate. It’s why I got elected. If Dems don’t wanna get on board with free-market reform before the train leaves the station, then I guess they’ll have to catch the next one. That’s what I’m saying. Anyways.
   
8. The solution’s obvious. Take the fight to the Taliban. Smoke ’em out. They can’t run and they can’t hide. I don’t care about the UN, I want this done.
   
9. People know my position. I believe that marriage is a sacred bond that only exists between one man and one woman and that same-sex relations are sinful by nature. Still, we live in a constitutional system. We gotta accommodate the Court and accept their rulings. I promise American families to be their advocate even as I uphold the law.
   
10. This stuff is crazy, but we need more before we go public. I wanna go back to the CIA, the DIA, whomever, and nudge them for something firmer. Instead of a few pipes and trailers, can we encourage them to find some uranium? Maybe anthrax? Something we can use to spook Congress later.
    
11. Arnie’s a lot like me in that he’s the kind of guy you wanna have a beer with. Let’s not complicate this too much with poll-tested bullshit. Just invite him to DC and let the press see us having a good time.
    
12. We’re making good progress but let’s not forget how quick the Dems in Congress tried to sideline us. We need to spend these weeks massaging egos, repeating things over and over and over again to people on the Hill to kind of catapult the propaganda.
    
13. Nothing in this report refutiates what we’ve been saying all along. No official did anything to bail out Enron. I’m grateful to Baucus for producing a report that shows we acted appropriately and responsibly.
    
14. I got no time for second thoughts. Push the bill. Ride or die.
    
15. I’ve worked with Vice President Cheney for almost four years now and have counted on his calm and steady judgment in difficult days. I am honored to have him at my side and look forward to having him with me as we mount a global war on those who would seek to threaten our freedom. Together, Dick and I will continue fighting for you and your families.
    
16. Dealing with Congress is a matter of give and take. Give them a little cooperation and they’ll let us help define the narrative. No need to blow this outta proposition.
    
17. Politics is, well, it’s local. That’s what they say, and we could get some backlash if we try and run this nation-wide. We should work with our guys to try and turn the issue statewide, whip up local support for some state referendums like the one in Michigan.
    
18. This isn't just about being racist. This is about honesty. I'm working hard every day to make the people work for the government. Byrd has only ever cared about buying votes with earmarks. He's Democrat government at its worst.
    
19. Powell knows his stuff, from the Ayatollahs to Zimbabwe and everything in between. I wanted him on stage to talk about how we’re no longer apologizing for being American. The Bush foreign policy is about strength and conviction.
    
20. He's attacking us? On this? Well, I'm sure Byrd learned a lot about being secrecy when he was scurrying around with his Klan buddies. Hit him on how he tried to hide his connections anytime he brings this up.
    
21. Hell, we got the momentum. We got the energy. Why don't we go for broke here and make the bill even bigger? Work with Wayne's people to add some language that'll punish Democrat-run states if they try to restrict our Second Amendment rights. Take away their transportation bucks or something. The base'll love that.
    
22. It was so early that most folks forgot about it, but my consequences on education can’t be beat. No Child Left Behind was groundbreaking, bipartisan, and conflated the bigotry of soft expectations.
    
23. It's all about defense. Security. How about that… some of that action-hero, Terminator tough stuff? Get us in good with the macho man image, you know?
    
24. Are we still pretending this is a real campaign? Look, this is a joke. The old man's gonna lose. I'd be better off just doing my job instead of playing into this charade.
    
25. This is too damn easy. Go after the minority voters. I'm a strong, unifying leader moving this country forward. Byrd's a bitter old racist who hates you. You can't stick with him just because he's a Democrat.
    
26. They're calling India the "world's biggest democracy." I don't think that's quite right—America's bigger—but with the world changing it's essential we build ties with these folks. How can we get Singh on our side?
    
27. This is dangerous. He's going around saying who knows what and riling everyone up. It's not good for the country. We can't have a nut like him running things. It'd be a disgrace for our nation.
    
28. This isn’t all about oil, it’s about nuclear weapons in the hands of dictators. If you look at a picture from the sky of the Korean Peninsula at night, South Korea is filled with lights and energy and vitality and a booming economy; North Korea is dark. Kim needs to go. Tell the South we’re goin’ in.

THT fam… I need help. Please.
My 24F boyfriend 24M and I have been dating since high school. We broke up for two years while I was in college. Experienced other people, and yet felt like we were made to be. I cannot express how much I love my boyfriend. He is my best friend. I can be my true self around him and Vice versa. He knows what I am thinking before I say it, he’s thoughtful, and golfs with my grandpa.
Fall of 2022 I had a feeling something was going on. I went through his phone and found that he had been texting his ex girlfriend for about 6 months. Nothing physical ever happened. But he would say “I miss you” and other various things. I was devastated.
When I asked why he would do this he said he wanted to get back at her for all she did to him. She was horrible to him. Was cheating on him with her ex and had her ex jump him. My boyfriend is a golden retriever and that was the first time he had ever been in a fight.
I have done my best to move past this. I love him and we all make mistakes. We were 22 at the time, there is so much to figure out. I wanted to give him grace. Fast forward to summer 23 he had a coworker who had me raising my eyebrows. Her name is Laura. Laura is our age except she is, well was married. His friends at work would joke about how she flirts with everyone and doesn’t act like she’s married. Well… she ended up getting a divorce fall of 23.
This past fall I went through his phone again. My 6th sense was going off and I was right. He had been giving her rides home from work. This was not something I was okay with because I did not get good vibes from her. Two weeks ago I saw Laura’s friend in our local bar and I went up to her. I asked - girl to girl - if I should have been worried or if any lines got crossed. Laura’s friend told me that she was sure nothing happened physically between the two of them. She said things may have gotten flirty. This I already knew and just moved past it the best I could.
Yesterday I was at the same bar with my friends and Laura was there. I decided to go up and ask her what happened. In a very friendly way. I just said girl to girl should I have been concerned. Laura told me that it wasn’t her place, and that it is up to me to trust my boyfriend. I agree with this, but when I asked if anything physical happened she said yes. She didn’t give me any details aside from it not being sex.
Now for where I need help. Laura lies. She lied to may of my boyfriends work friends to the point where she lost all coworker relationships. Two of my boyfriends female coworkers refused to speak to her at the end of Laura’s time at that job because of all of the malicious lies she told.
I caught Laura in a lie when she was talking to me. She told me she stopped by my boyfriends work last week with friends for happy hour. Told me that afterwards my boyfriend texted her and asked how she was doing etc, and then blocked her again. Here’s the thing - my boyfriend did text her, but he did so because she was trying to get a job there again because there is a new management team. He told her that she is not allowed to work there because of the lies she told her last go around, lying about skill sets she doesn’t have, etc.
When I confronted my boyfriend with the news of him potentially cheating on me he swore up and down that he didn’t. Who do I believe?

“Are you kidding me?”
Emma looked at me, freshly exited from the portal.
“Jealous?” I put my hands on my hips. “It’s the black, right?”
“They…there was another suit and they never told me?” She was shocked. “And they let you choose the color?”
“I thought it looked good on me.”
I could tell she was rolling her eyes.
“I think the black stands out.” Thacea said. “The polish is very well done.”
“I concur.” Thalmin added on.
Illunor stared at me. “It looks like you are covered by the soot of a dragon’s breath.”
I snorted. “Good one.”
Emma looked at my suit. “They give you any upgrades?”
“No. Don’t have an EVI either.”
“Damn. I’m surprised that they put it together so quickly. How’s it feel?”
“It’s like I’m wearing a tank.”
“You’ll get used to it, trust me. It’s-”
Knock knock.
“I’ll get it.” Emma walked over to the door, opening it. “Apprentice-”
“Cadet Booker.” The elf nodded. “You are needed immediately.”
“I’m sorry?”
“I apologize for the disturbance, but you are needed now.” The elf’s eyes narrowed. “This is most urgent, and cannot be delayed.”
“I…see.” She turned towards me. “Let’s go.”
I began to follow Emma.
What could this be?
_____
Faculty Tower, Staff Meeting Room. Local Time: 1456 Hours.
After a hasty trip through shortcuts and backrooms, led by an unusually tight-lipped Larial, we arrived at a familiar sight.
The same room where the Librarian condemned the black-robed Mal’Tory to his fate.
The same room where the Academy’s assembled professors ousted their dean.
Those same professors, as well as the white-robed Vanavan, sat in those very same seats, some giving us looks of sympathy and worry.
As well as…
“Oh, shit.” I heard Emma practically seethe through our private channel, just beating me to the punch.
“They sent ANOTHER black-robe!?” I shot back, the pit of my stomach reflexively coiling in dread.
“Greetings. Cadet Emma Booker, yes? Please, take a seat.” The man in question, having noticed our approach, motioned towards a singular chair, notably unadorned compared to its peers. With only a moment of reluctant hesitation from Emma, she moved to occupy it - the chair surprisingly taking the weight of her suit without the aid of any observable spell.
“Ah, that’s simply grand. It would seem that the furniture I requested in anticipation of your presence here was adequate enough to withstand your armored form. It would be unbecoming of a student of this institution to lose face to a mere chair, yes?”
…
If nothing else, this guy was much more of a conversationalist than the last one.
“...Yeah, I guess so… sir?” Emma replied with an undercurrent of trepidation.
“His Eternal Majesty’s personally-appointed black-robed representative to the Transgracian Academy for the Magical Arts, one Professor Alak Chergena. A pleasure to meet you, Cadet Booker.”
Oh.
Oh dear.
So he knows about us now.
I could sense the same revelation hitting Emma with the force of a truck, but unlike me she had proven unable to slink into a corner and was actively being spoken to; it was only the Nexian love for wasting conversational time that allowed her lack of any sort of initial response to go relatively unnoticed.
“...I… It’s nice to meet you as well, Professor Chergena.” Emma eventually managed. “But why bring my golem and I here alone, if your intention was just to introduce yourself? Surely you’re too busy to do this with every student, yeah? That’s what emergency assemblies are for? Heck, even breakfast?”
“Your assertion would be correct, unfortunate less-than-enlightened ramble notwithstanding. It would seem that you and your puppet,” the black-robed Professor managed to lock eyes with me under my suit, sending an involuntary shiver down my spine before shifting back to Emma just as quickly. “Have been at the center of a lot of ill attention as of late. From my predecessor’s attempts on the lives of you and those in your peer-group, for which I apologize,” he directly stated, taking us completely by surprise, “to your purported role in the reshuffling of the faculty present here with us,” Vanavan visibly turned his head away from us, if only slightly. The rest of the faculty held their best poker faces, though body language suggested varying signs of discomfort. “To your dealings with The Library, again, spurred on in large part due to the direct antagonization by my predecessor, but all the same has seen that institution which has been hosted by The Nexus for eons abandon its true home for that which is lesser, as well as much else.” Chergena finally relented.
At least, that’s what I thought, before he started up again mere seconds later.
“Which brings us to the true meat of why you have been brought before us. Before me.” His tone changed to something markedly less friendly. “Your actions over the past weeks, Cadet Emma Booker, have served to threaten, and indeed disrupt the Status Eternia that guards the eternal sanctity of civilization. Now, it can plainly be seen through the craftsmanship of the armor that adorns both yourself and your inanimate servile construct,” the black-robe gave me another brief flick of the eyes. “As well as your novel weapons which, in spite of their primitive mana-less disposition, have managed to dispatch those creatures which even this faculty, and by extension myself, would have difficulty in subduing, to your own personal status as a commoner, that your realm has been engaged in a constant battle against ruination. A constant battle, a losing battle, even, that has seen your realm’s kind shed whatever form of proper decorum you may have once possessed, to throw your all into the creation of weapons of war; unburdened by advanced sociological organizations.”
“I understand, that in these contexts, perhaps the greatest show of an Earthrealmer’s civility would be those which destabilize, disrupt, and decimate the forces of ruination; that which would see what little civilization your realm has retained lost to the annals of history. However,” Professor Chergena continued. “You must realize that you now find yourself at the center of civilization. The center of all civilizations. Indeed, far from a ravenous tribe of barbarians, The Nexus, under the enlightened guidance and tutelage of His Majesty, has delivered many a realm from the same jaws of apocalypse that you yourself have likely stared down before your induction into this Academy. It is under these contexts,” he fixed Emma with a hard stare. “That your actions, however well-meaning you believe them to be in the service of the propagation of civilization, are actively detrimental to a society as perfect and vibrant as the one you find yourself in right now.”
“The Adventurer hunts the common beast, the Guard fights the mad king’s shield-bearer, and the Mage delivers the force of the righteous against that which threatens to undo what we strive to maintain. To put it in simpler words, Cadet Booker, there is no extraneous danger in the Nexus - not one created without direct action and intent to do so. Your fear of that which was unfamiliar, including the rejection of the Oath of Binding, as well as your realm’s defiling of a heretofore-unknown Gift, provoked the previous black-robe into their actions against you. Your martial responses thus forced him to parry, in an unfortunate series of escalatory actions that has brought me to this very academy, and seen perhaps the greatest arsenal of knowledge leave us, those who can use that most effectively in the quest to maintain the longevity of civilization - all civilization.”
“Let this meeting prove to be a stern word of caution to you, Cadet Emma Booker. For while you may believe that your actions in undermining the Status Eternia to be beneficial to the propagation of the civil order, it is anything but. To simply acknowledge your rank and station, and to listen to your betters, is to participate in the very pinnacle of civilization.” His steely gaze at Emma, maintained throughout his entire monologue, hardened as he reached his conclusion. “I understand that your realm stands on the precipice of destruction, Cadet. But that in of itself is not an acceptable reason for this behavior of yours; to fight ruination where there is simply none. Be still and calm your spirit, for owing to the apparent condition of peril amongst your people, we shall soon arrive and save Earthrealm ourselves, just as we have done with the thousands of realms before you. You need only exercise patience, and deliverance will come in return.”
Professor Chergena finally stood back, his hardened look fading slightly.
“That is all, Cadet Booker. From here on out, I would encourage you to redirect your efforts in chasing societal phantoms to your own studies - for both the safety of yourself and your fellow students. Should you fail to heed this most valuable advice, I shall know and take appropriate actions to protect this Academy from incurring further dishonor. Now then, if you would be so kind as to collect your golem and return to your dormitory - Apprentice Larial will show you the way. This faculty has much to discuss, and there are only so many hours in the day.”
Emma silently got up from the chair, her and I moving towards the door without so much as a word spoken, quickly received by a Larial that looked more unnerved than on her arrival.
“Farewell, Cadet Emma Booker. May we, for the sake of both of us, not have to meet again so soon, and under such dire circumstances.”
______
Dragon’s Heart Tower, Level 23, Residence 30, Living Room. Local Time: 1537 Hours.
Emma and I arrived back at the dorm at what increasingly became a breakneck pace, as our own mutual debrief carried with it the weight of perhaps the greatest threat openly declared against the UN in its entire history.
“I… There has to be some sort of different meaning to that-”
“There isn’t, Emma. The man personally sent here by the Big Boss himself just said we’re going to war.”
We practically burst back through the dorm doors, only paying a curt nod to a winded-looking Larial, who had been increasingly struggling to keep up.
“Well, James, it just so happens that we’re in the company of three people who know just a little bit about subliminal messaging,” came Emma’s immediate retort, as we barged into the the Living Room, starting an Avinor, a Lupinor, and a Vunerian in the process.
“...Emma? James? Are you two quite alright?” Thacea immediately broke the awkward silence that ensued. “Was there some sort of pressing issue pertaining to the faculty that needed attention?”
“My thoughts exactly,” Thalmin affirmed. “Given the chaotic state of the Academy, given our latest upsets, it’s only natural that there was a loose end or two that required tying.”
The blue creature said nothing, electing to gaze at us expectantly.
“It’s… complicated,” I managed to get out, reaching for my tablet. “And I think it’s better if we showed you.”

2 Hours Later
“Indeed, Emma. As much as I wish it to be otherwise, it is highly unlikely that Professor Chergena’s words were an empty threat.” Thacea confirmed what had become our greatest fears with a single sentence. “For a person such as himself, both with regard to his rank and station, and the fact that he was explicitly sent by His Eternal Majesty, it would be illogical and counterproductive to take a stance that is different in any way to the current established order. That is to say,” she concluded, “That the new Black-Robe is speaking the truth. Earthrealm faces down the tip of the Nexian Spear, Emma, James.”
…
“For what it’s worth, you two, Havenbrock stands with you and your cause.” Thalmin interjected. “You and your people are perhaps the greatest chance history will ever offer in finally throwing off the Nexian yoke; both for my own realm and the thousands of others it has subjugated.”
“I… Thank you, Thalmin, but-”
“Now, now, James. I was not finished.” The Lupinor held up a finger, paired with a toothy grin. “I know that, given the inherent limitations in inter-realm communications and transportation, that my kin will not be able to assist you directly. Therefore, at least allow me to give you some form of aid by which to fight for your, and our, freedoms.” With an amount of martial flair that I could only dream of possessing, Thalmin drew out his dagger, stretching it out to its full length as a greatsword, before-
LOCALIZED SOURCE OF MANA-RADIATION DETECTED: 400% ABOVE BACKGROUND LEVELS.
-using a spell that had remained unknown to us, evicting any and all traces of detectable mana from the weapon.
Thalmin presented it to me.
“You have my sword.”
To say this was unexpected was an understatement.
To say that it meant the world to be would be a disservice to the statement.
“Thalmin, I… But the magic you had in-”
“If my memory serves me right, mana would be poisonous to an Earthrealmer, yes? It would be difficult to use a weapon if it were actively trying to kill you.” He left off with a snarky tone.
“...I will treasure this.” Within the safety of my mana-repulsion field, I took off my own helmet, matching Thalmin’s savage grin with one of my own. “And don’t worry. It’s not gonna be a mantlepiece, either.” He nodded sagely in return.
“Of course, while my realm, much the same as Prince Havenbrock’s, cannot lend any material support to yours,” Thacea re-joined the conversation, you will have our aid in the realm of espionage; the deconstruction of Nexian social decorum with the purpose of establishing a clearly defined narrative.”
“Which is something we’ll be eternally grateful for, Thacea,” Emma replied.
And then there was one.
Ilunor, having put on a stoic visage for the entire exchange, finally dropped it with a hefty sigh.
“While I subscribe to the axioms of civilization, and the principles of the Perpetual Regime… I cannot deny that this move from His Eternal Majesty is uncharacteristically shortsighted.” His eyes flashed with realization, before finally meeting both of our gazes.
“He doesn’t know. There’s no way He couldn’t have possibly known the nature of your realm, as shown through your sight-seer,” He half-gasped out. “All logic in absence of that would point to an uppity mana-deficient newrealm trying to undermine Nexian authority. This is the same conclusion Professor Chergena came to. It stands to reason, then, that His Eternal Majesty, for all his power and wisdom, is operating with an incomplete picture of who he wishes to reform.”
“Reform, Ilunor?” I questioned the lizard, putting my helmet back on.
“Yes, James, reform.” He responded in kind. “The Nexian Reformations are a series of edicts thrust upon any newrealm that makes contact, to preserve the longevity of their civilization, modeled off the Nexian System, under the watch and scrutiny of The Nexus. In the case of Earthrealm, that would entail a dismantling of your ‘Euen,’ and a return to the rule of monarchs.”
“A return to Feudalism.” Emma stately bluntly.
Three nods immediately followed that summary.
“...Thank you, Ilunor, for that information.” I said curtly. “And thank all of you for your support.” The three of them responded with varying degrees of acknowledgement.
“With that being said,” Emma concluded, starting to walk to her tent with me in tow. “We’ve got a report to write.”
________
Greater United Nations, Earth, Atlantic Ocean Floor. Institute of Anomalous Studies Portal Complex. 0800 Hours UNST.
Second Lieutenant James O’Neil appeared in the Portal Room on an unscheduled return, seconds before an emergency-priority report was received from Cadet Emma Booker’s Exo-reality Communications Suite. Director Laura Weir was immediately flagged down, in a manner that stretched the definition of professional, before being pulled into an emergency meeting with one O’Neil, as well as vital staff, in addition to various government and military representatives.
Thirty minutes later, as Captain Li of the United Nations Long Range Expeditionary Forces was engaged in a near-shouting match with several members of the Sociology Department, a package was received in the Portal Room, bearing what had been previously identified as official Nexian Markings. A hasty read and a more thorough re-read of the elaborately-packaged ultimatum presented to them served to extinguish any ideas or fears of a potential miscommunication with the powers beyond the portal.
Director Weir, three hours and forty-five minutes after James O’Neil’s return, relayed the demands of The Nexus, as well as the all-but-confirmed preparations for war to all relevant government and military offices.

Earth-Luna Lagrange Point L1, Greater United Nations General Assembly Parliamentary Capitol. Office of the First Secretary. 1200 Hours UNST.
The most powerful human alive, having been interrupted from a late-morning brunch, sat at the front of the table, the First Speaker immediately adjacent to them. The First Commanders of the United Nations Armed Forces sat on their flanks, all of them having been present in the Sol System by lucky chance; all had been authorized the use of emergency warps, their ships arriving in Earth-Luna space within minutes. The heads of the executive departments, those still within Sol, were also present.
Speaking remotely from Earth, Director Weir of the United Nations Science Advisory’s Institute for Anomalous studies, joined on her right by a nervous but determined young Lieutenant, recounted the demands of the enigmatic civilization beyond the precipice.
The dismantling of “Earthrealm’s seditious governing institutions.”
The reinstatement of the Monarchs of those few remaining relevant member states to “Their positions of rightful authority, to swear an oath of fealty to His Eternal Majesty.”
The “Immediate revocation of unwarranted and undeserved ‘commoner privileges.’ ”
A return of Humanity to a medieval state, lest it be subjected to the interdimensional jackboot.
The Secretary and Speaker queried about the state of the UN’s military and logistical assets.
It was deftly relayed that, with Lieutenant O’Neil’s prior report to the First Commanders, that tangible plans had been laid for a full evacuation of Earth’s surface of all non-military personnel within 4 months.
A brief consultation in turn with the only one who had seen The Nexus for themselves, Lieutenant O’Neil, would solidify the Secretary’s decision.
After an on-the-spot decision to make James O’Neil the “Special Advisor to the First Speaker on Exo-Reality Affairs,” a post ordained to bridge the imminent chasm that would be the gap in knowledge between the military and the vast majority of the civilian government, two executive decisions would be made.
The re-designation of The Nexian diplomatic standing to an E-9 as per the Revised New Oslo Criteria,
And the enabling of “Plan Arc.”
Fifteen minutes after the conclusion of the meeting of the UN’s highest government and military leaders, scarcely enough for contacted news agencies to prepare their emergency broadcasts, thirty billion people would be forced from their homes.
As transport ships both in the Sol System and in Extrasolar Space, on pleasure cruises, carrying cargo, and everything in between received their alerts through the QE network and started to spool up their warp drives, the First Secretary collapsed into the finely-upholstered chair in their personal office, having finagled a minute of solitude from their Press Secretary; their emergency address would be upon them imminently.
The First Secretary of the United Nations of Earth and Luna nibbled on their now-cold food, finding that they were no longer hungry.
Earth, Acela Corridor, NYC New Quarter, Brooklyn, Inside of a megatall skyscraper. Room 2325. Booker Residence. 1317 Hours UNST.
The hero of the Jovian Insurrection, for the briefest of moments, though she was back on that damned station when every electronic device with a speaker blared in an ear-splitting klaxon. Immediately regaining her senses, Ran Booker saw a Bim-Bim-shaped mass of irritated fur dart underneath a table, before digesting the message displayed on and orated out of every screen in her apartment.
“ATTENTION. ATTENTION. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY BROADCAST FROM THE FIRST SECRETARY, FIRST SPEAKER, AND THE UNIFIED CENTRAL COMMAND. AS OF THIS MORNING, THE PRESENCE OF A HOSTILE INTERDIMENSIONAL POLITY KNOWN AS ‘THE NEXUS’ HAS BEEN CONFIRMED, WITH DIRECT ACCESS TO EARTH.
UN AGENTS OPERATING WITHIN ‘THE NEXUS’ HAVE CONFIRMED INITIAL PREPARATIONS FOR A MILITARY INVASION OF EARTH ARE UNDERWAY. ESTIMATED TIME OF INVASION IS CURRENTLY UNKNOWN.
THE FIRST SECRETARY AND SPEAKER, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ARMED FORCES AND THE UNITED NATIONS EMERGENCY RELOCATION OFFICE, HAVE AUTHORIZED THE TOTAL EVACUATION OF ALL CIVILIAN PERSONNEL FROM EARTH’S SURFACE. INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR TIME AND PLACE OF EVACUATION SHALL BE SENT TO YOUR PERSONAL DEVICES.
PLEASE REMAIN CALM. PLEASE COOPERATE WITH STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AT THIS TIME.
MORE INFORMATION SHALL BE GIVEN AS IT IS RECEIVED. PLEASE REMAIN UPDATED THROUGH YOUR LOCAL NEWS OUTLETS AS WELL AS THIS EMERGENCY MESSAGE CHANNEL.
THIS MESSAGE WILL REPEAT THREE TIMES.”
It took only a handful of seconds of hearing the shouts of her neighbors, as well as the sudden cacophony of screams from the city below for Ran to understand that, despite the behest of the message to “remain calm,” New York and Acela’s riot police would likely be donning their gear for the first time outside of drill for the first time in decades.
Soon after, much to her lack of surprise, her phone started buzzing, an unknown number staring back at her before she swiped to answer, immediately holding it to her ear.
“This is Booker.”
“Sergeant Major Booker,” the gruff voice on the other end of the line started. “This is General Mark Stone of the United Nations TSEC Special Operations Group. You are being reactivated, effective immediately. You have two hours to report to the High Security Terminal at the Port of New York and New Jersey. Your identity will be confirmed and you will receive further orders.”
“Roger.”
The line went dead immediately after, Sergeant Major Ran Booker of the United Nations Terrestrial Space and Expeditionary Command taking another moment to regard the chaos that had now enveloped what had once been a peaceful city, the roar of police and other emergency sirens re-introducing a type of mid-millenium flair that was better left to the annals of history.
It would seem that the young man who had knocked on her door so recently had his hands full.
The same force that had repeatedly tried to kill her adoptive daughter now threatened to raze Humanity’s cradle to the ground.
For all the centuries of Humanity’s preparations to fight an extraterrestrial enemy, they had still been caught by absolute surprise.
War was coming.
And Ran Booker now faced the most difficult challenge of her life.
Finding a goddamn cat-sitter.
Orion Spur, 2500 Light-years from Earth. 2250 Light-years from UN incorporated space. Mid-Warp. Fleet time: 1319 Hours.
Commodore John Perry, were he back on Earth, would’ve been an incredibly busy man. Organizing this Long Patrol had been a tall order, even considering his own admittedly small role in the finer details. However, this far out into space, and in warp space at that, there was little else for him to do but sit at the bridge of the Heavy Cruiser LREFS Pathfinder and watch the stars pass him by like raindrops on a windshield.
This had been his routing for months; chart another lifeless rock, perhaps a gas giant or two, harvest an asteroid when needed, then move on to the next system.
Perhaps, he thought to himself, I need a change of pace.
And it was at that moment that the ship’s QE machine whined to life with a series of coded beeps that designated the received message as the highest-possible priority.
He immediately read it, of course.
After checking and double-checking its contents, as well as composing and sending off a message to the rest of his own Lead Task Unit, Commodore Perry calmly stood up from the seat he had taken, met the worried gazes of the few bridge crew were needed to operate the Pathfinder, and gently slammed his fist on the General Quarters alarm.

10 Minutes Later
“I am going to relay to you what every captain on every other ship of this patrol group is telling their own crews right now.” Perry forced out in an even tone, over the ship-wide intercom to his crew, assembled at their battle stations. “Fifteen minutes ago, we received a message from LREF Command back home. They have confirmed the presence of a hostile extraterrestrial force on Earth’s doorstep.” Several gasps were heard from the now-packed bridge of the ship. Others looked on, ashen-faced.
“This polity, known to us as ‘The Nexus,’ sent our leaders an ultimatum. One that would see Humanity reduced to serfs. See us returned to a medieval state.” Several grimaces joined the chorus of expressions dotting the bridge. “It goes without saying what our answer to such demands are.” Resolute determination, now. “It is for that reason, everyone, that I have elected to cut our patrol short. It’s entirely possible that we’re too far out to render any assistance, but given the seeming gap in capabilities represented by their mastery in interdimensional travel, in spite of other limitations, the coming conflict may be long and grueling.”
“Our stop at the next system will be our last, at which point we will hold to rendezvous with all other task units in our Patrol Group before proceeding directly back to Earth. And speaking of-” Perry turned to the helmsman. “We are nearly due to drop out of warp, yes?”
“In approximately three hours, sir. I’d recommend taking a seat and keeping everyone at their stations.”
“And so it shall be.”

Orion Spur, uncharted star system. 2500 Light-years from Earth. 2250 Light-years from UN incorporated space. Mid-Warp. Fleet time: 1630 Hours.
“Dropping out of warp in T-minus 10, 9, 8…”
Commodore John Perry never so desperately wanted to be back home in his life.
It was under threat.
Everything he knew, loved, and held dear, save for the Patrol Group he commanded at this instant, was liable to be destroyed.
“7, 6, 5…”
He was going to get this job done as quickly as possible.
He needed to get back.
“4, 3, 2, 1…”
He owed it to everyone here.
“Warp Drive disengaged!”
The sight of smeared stars on the transparent metal in front of him suddenly disappeared, replaced with a single white sun immediately ahead of them. Several smaller “stars” could be seen nearby. All around him, the 28 other combat ships of his patrol group, as well as the handful of support craft blinked into existence in a ring around the Pathfinder kilometers away, in a professionally choreographed display.
Telescopes pointed at this system, almost a thousand years ago, had identified six planets. Two gas giants, four rocky bodies. Fleet-wide sensors confirmed those findings, as well as an asteroid belt between the rocky planets and gas giants.
The second-closest to its star was in the habitable zone of its G2V-class star. That same one hosted an atmospheric composition that was one of the closest mirrors to Earth on record. That same one also had a mass nearly identical to the homeworld.
It was the sole reason Perry had elected to not simply disengage warp in the middle of interstellar space, turn back, and gun it for friendlier waters.
If nothing else, it may one day make a great colony.
Perry elected to simply get it over with, before anything else unexpected happened.
“Sir! I’m picking something up on the Exotic Energy Detection Suite! It’s coming from the planet in the habitable zone!”
Fuck.
Perry was already on his newly-liberated fleet-wide radio as he commanded his response. “All ships, this is Commodore Perry. Set an interception course for the second planet in the system. Be prepared to decelerate into a parking orbit. Prepare for interception burn in T-minus five minutes.”
John Perry sat back in his seat, keeping up the appearance of a dignified, disciplined commanding officer.
The man behind that appearance inwardly lamented what that sensor reading had meant.
The information packet he had received, for his eyes only, had told him two things.
While “The Nexus,” as confirmed by UN operatives, was an infinite plane, there were other civilizations connected to The Nexus, “Adjacent Realms,” that had the potential to occupy Humanity’s same corner of the multiverse.
And that the “Exotic Energy” that those hastily-added sensors were meant to detect went by another name, for those locals of the Nexus and Adjacent Realms alike.
Mana.
Whether he liked it or not, the United Nations of Earth and Luna had just found another.

Next time on: ‘The Backup:’
The Beginning of the End
A/N:
This chapter took a bit longer than usual to get out, but me and my editor had to make sure it was written well.
So, everyone, I have some news.
The next chapter is going to be the last one of The Backup. But don’t worry! There is a sequel in the works. To avoid burnout, after the last chapter is posted, I’ll be taking an extended break for around a month. This sequel will be the finale of The Backup, and bring a conclusion to my story.
I want to thank everyone who upvoted and commented on this story - to each and every one of you, I’m very grateful for your help, as it motivated me to continue writing.
