Los Angelos
This was just another bar, you don't really remember what the name was but you were sure you could make friends or contacts here. Don't really know why you would need them, but that is how you always viewed these little adventures. Something to keep you running after the war is over, but even coming back and trying to enjoy your victory you still want to go back, it was your life. The day was still early, and it was mostly just party people practicing darts and pool, and the solid old alcoholics that made this place home. How to waste this... Tuesday? night? or was it Friday.... You don't remember today but maybe it will matter later.

"So many vices tonight."I thought smiling,"this could be good, but I'm feeling friskey tonight." With that thought I go on the prowl putting on my most charming mask, scanning the crowd looking for some soul to fill the void tonight. Though I feel a little indescisive, should i just find my "elixir" for the evening instead. I wonder around the room looking for any shade folks...or pretty ones.

"Mr. Hacek." a voice says calls from the front door. "CIA we need to talk." two suits say to the room. It goes silent, everyone looks over hearing CIA, they dont seem to know who there looking for, just that the person is in the room. The one that spoke you catch out the corner of your eye, male white, older, graying, most likey the senior officer between the two, but your mind tells you the pin is wrong, and the badge hes holding up is out of date. The partner is Asian, a bit on the taller side, and his outfit feels completely wrong, he has the suit but its wrong style from the bureau. Dont remember when you had seen them before, or why you should know the difference.

I continue up to the bar acting as though noting happened once the initial shock subsides. I quietly signal for a drink to the bartender and wait to see how this plays out. "They have no idea who I am do they", I smirk to myself. When the bartender comes over I order a vodka on the rocks, and look for escape points. I may not remember why those mooks seem wrong, but if they are from the bureau I not going to have a single thing to do with them. Even if they aren't they have my name and that could be troublesome. I take a sip of my drink(ooh that's good) and wonder how they got my name and which event I took part in to earn their ire.

The partner leans in and whispers something to the primary. He nods in understanding and starts wending his way through the crowd towards your end of the bar. He puts the badge away, and stops just a chair down from you. The partner follows him like a shadow and remains quiet. "Mr. Hacek, you are a hard man to track down. I' not here about any illegal activities you think you done or are currently doing. I'm here cause the bureau needs your help once again." he says looking into the glass the bartender just sat down for him, it is currently empty.

"Looks like the rumors are true, Big Brother really can read you mind." I think to my self,"maybe I'll can stall a little to find some info on these two mooks." "Come on fellas asking me out on our first meeting, At least buy me a drink or something first."I sarcastically say to Mook number 1 at athe bar, adding a little slur to end to act the part of the drunk,"Here I'll go first." I gesture to the bartender and asking for to more of the same and motion for Mook number two to sit down as well. I eye them both shrewdly try to remember why there regalia seems off while also looking for any weapon bulges.

They both seem to be be absent of weapons, you havent had a chance to see behind them in case its tucked into there waistband, but no shoulder harness or belt slots. Mook 2 as you so named is quiet, remains standing, and watching his partner like hes the criminal. Mook 1 takes a seat, gets his glass filled, and pushes it towards you. "Listen, we dont really have the time for all these dick waving contests, your OP record speaks for itself and needs to be reactivated now. Theres a time sensitive mission that we need you to look into and I'm betting there's less then 24hours before a major catastrophe well level a chunk of California." The rest of the room is still quiet, everyone can hear what hes saying.

"Alright listen here I'll need two combat knifes, a pistol, and a rubber ducky the yellow variant only.", I whispered most seriously," And I'll need a file concerning the matter at hand...and you ahve to pa my bar tab." I look at the Mooks to gauge their response to help determine if I need to bolt or if I'm appearantly going to help save California.

The shadow nudged him slightly and the primary nodded. "Agreed, we have the supplies at the truck if you will come with me." He passes the bartender a $100 and waves for you to follow him outside.

I nod and get up to follow, but not before grabbing a beer for the road, glass bottle of course no use going out defenseless and thirsty. I walk out the door putting on a bit of a stagger to make it seem like I might have had one too many, but I keep a very close eye on both the Mook and the Shadow. "I'm drunk not stupid", I think to my self. Now that I have a chance I give thier back sides a glance for any weapon bulges and if so stumble into one of them and take a shot a relieveing one of them of it descritely.

Neither of them are carry guns, outside is a large military truck, the back is half full of crates. Mook 1 helps you up into the back while the shadow moves to the Drivers door. Mook gets in after you, "Ever see the Sunrise on the Moon?" Trigger word. Like you thought, you were high level infiltration, since your release you had been 'unknowingly' work your way into good graces of mafia and other criminal organizations to gather intel that will/would/is now useful to the military leadership when the time was right. You had been trained and became one of the best information and seekers the world has ever seen, despite your sometimes goofball attitude your results were admirable. Also, your fighting skills were solid enough that the average terrorist shouldn't be a problem. "Two military grade combat knives, here is a standard Beretta 92F, and your Rubbery Duckey." The Rubber Ducky was a single shot rocket launcher placed inside a guitar case that had the yellow duck sticker on it. the box he pulled it from had a red, blue, and green sticker version aswell. He gave you two additional clips for the beretta aswell. Finally he also handed you a small case file. Inside was a picture of beautiful young woman that was asleep and attached to several IV's. Her hair was gold, not blonde but very much a gold, and her skin looked pale like a china doll. She would stand out. The file says she set off an explosion in a park down in San Diego, where she was picked up and brought to the hospital. She seemed unable to speak english, or spanish. There a man named Jalyk Mellir, Ex-Marine now a famous MMA fighter seemed to have checked her out of the hospital a few hours later, then just over an hour ago his home address came under assault by an unknown group. He was seen fleeing the scene with a blonde haired woman. Just halfhour ago a blonde woman somehow destroyed the large cross as the Mega-Church the Rock while her accompliced killed and incinerated an attacker who was wearing some form of Tribal garb. The woman is believed to have some kind of unknown tech and should be considered very dangerous. We believe she will be searching for other Holy relics, and church sites for reasons unknown. Your mission is to find her current whereabouts by 6 O'cloak Sunday when we believe one of her 'weapons' will detonate.
*Beretta 92F 2d6, S, 15clip, 40ft **M72A3 LAW 10d6, 1, 1clip, 150ft

"OKay, so do we have eyes on the target at all?", I say as the world suddenly snaps into focus. My swagger gone and replaced by cold calculations and laser-focus. I pocket the baretta and belt on the knifes and extra clips. Then I take a closer inspectiona of the file at hand. I think again about who these fools are again?

Gather info from the file, get money from Shadow to get a hold of a computer and a few other items to help at a local Walmart. Look up police info and survielnce video trying to locate a Jalyk Mellir, the guy that is helping out Noel De Angelo. Find out about her therapist Dr. Adams.
Find the tracking info on there phones and move there, found dumped cell phones in an alley way. Move to Mellir’s house, convince one of the tenants to open the door then go up and look around. Find blood metal chair leg, damaged backwind, and broken front window that leads to a double decker buss trying to get towed. The whole in the top seems as if they had jumped and went through it.
Check out more surveillance. Go to the Gym where Mellirs works out and is owned by his manager. Break in through the backdoor, steal the Surveilance camera for some reason. The inside office is perfectly cleaned out of any intel. No computer, survielence feeds, or files, just a hole in a brick wall.
Follow lead east then north through massive residential area. Listening in on any Police radio, they hear about a women that was attacked and bit by her husband. Upon arrival shes is in critical care, but claim her husband has run off, her son describes the attacker to match a tribal appearance, and claims his father left when he was younger.
Look around at local churches and find a ‘drugged’ receptionist. Also locate odd lead plates in a bag out in the parking lot. The plates seems to have a mental clearing effect on the receptionist and Smith, shadow take the plates away when it is used on smith.
John Smith finds video feed of Mellir at the Rock gaining a cloak of molten fire and summoning fire around his hands as he delivers a two hit blow that kills a tribal character, rendering it to ash.
A Quick check out towards the National park to make sure they didn’t head out that way before heading up to Los Angelos to visit a major holy temple. Hacek goes inside with Smith to look around, after a bit heads outside to talk to try and converse Shadow. Upon failure heads back inside to continue the stake out to see if Mellir shows up. Smith gets all the info from him about what they found out so far and then deactivates his awareness with the preprogrammed codewords. Convince him to go out and try and blow up Shadow.
After opening fire on Shadow(miss) and hits Smith, Shadow rips the possession specter out of Smith. Smith reactivates Hacek and passes out. Shadow uses some of Smith life force to heal Hacek from the wisdom damage he took. Smith is in bad condition but is loaded back on the truck. Hacek decides they need more allies for this weird shit, but does figure out how to use google translate to learn Shadow speaks Russian.
Hacek Contacts the police force in the area to increase the size of the man hunt. Find the police comprised, one squad car calls in to ask for a meet before looking southwards to locate missing people. Also learn of sickness effect many people in the area radiating from major places Mellir has visited.
The meet was set up near the temple, the squad car was controlled by a Vampire and an average police officer. A small battle ensued, that destroyed the Truck, and Hacek used the magical energy Shadow blessed him with to sacrifice the cop for power. Hacek didn’t understand what it did and allowed that buff to waste off him. Second time he sacrificed Smith and dealt substianal damage to the Vampire but it survived. Shadow finished off the Vampire as he couldn’t spend the time looking for another Champion right now, he was unable to heal any of the wounds hacek had sustained.
Worn out they take the squad card and a few supplies left and slept for the night.
In the morning the search Smith had set up earlier found Noel at a church south of them, they immediately left to try and catch her. Upon arrival they found out about a zombie outbreak that had happened at the church. They go inside and look around. Then realized after this much damage they will be looking for another church, they head back north to the Temple again.
They park around back, Hacek decide he wants eyes on them, before they see him and straps his supplies to his back and goes over the back wall.
(This was done as a live session, and these are the notes i can recall. Information maybe imperfect.)

Notes from the battle can be found on Jalyk Mellir - p1 - Intro cause i'm to lazy to post them twice.
Micheal- well i've completed this mission if i have a smoke bomb i throw it down otherwise i go find a safe house to debrief myself in a an encoded journal
DM- You do not have a smokebomb. but there is a safe house 'fairly' nearby. Your character does realize this wasnt a sanctioned mission. Shadow had orchstrated it, probably without any actual gov approval. 'Smith' had said he was retired
Micheal- there is going to be hell to pay for this with the bearu
DM- The safe hour takes a little more then an hour to get to. Its not well stocked, it looks like it was just used as well. Maybe other soldier had to come here after dealing with attacks? they didn’t log there expenditure either those slacking little good for nothin's right?
Michael- This seems off so i go over the entire safe house with a fine tooth comb
DM- after taking some pain meds? your still at 9hp. Your search comes up with nearly all the ammunition gone, aswell as some of the piping in one of the wall. It isnt normally on the inventory so you dont know what it was for or why it was taken. all but 1 of the med kits have been taken, and the surveillance camera and feed were erased. The bed is still there, but the walkies talkies are all gone, as well as the few burner phones they normally keep for emergencies
Michael- After some pains meds, I use the medkit, then i start to work on the computer there is always ghosts of the data that i could piece together
DM- They were thorough, but you do find it was a group of 4 that had come in and raided the safe house earlier that day. they all seemed to know what they were going for so not much on audio to pick up on, they came quickly grabed supplies and left. about 30 mins after there departure a Vampire walked into the place, looked around, check the computer then left.
Michael- fuck, time to go safe house jumping starting with the next one one the list. This one is obviously not secure
DM- As you walk outside you feel something tugging at your got, like a hand that is there and just pulls on it a bit.
