Apprehension of a Criminal: TranqueThePhilosophe

Hm.  I wonder which part was the "roaring success."

The part where we lead him into one of the torture chambers in the Merovingian's den, or the part where he cried.

The part where he cried.... after I slapped him...

Greetings Operatives.

I recently recieved word from the terrorist Tranque, obviously overcome with fear over our aggressive methods of apprehension, he arranged a meeting with me in a dank Richland club.

                                                                                       ::Code Capture of Meeting With Terrorist: Tranque::

True to character he did not meet me alone, and made several pathetic attempts to bargain with me in favour of his release, even resorting to blackmail and barefaced lies. I however, was having none of his trickery, i am a Former Agent of the System after all.

Unfortunatly...although, the situation was completly under my control...and i was at any moment about to apprehend the terrorist and his little gang...eh, something...something rather important came up (Entirely unrelated to my shoes) and i had to leave immediatly. Otherwise i can assure you, they would be at this moment currently rotting in a cell in the Machine Stronghold (I can't stress, how utterly important this, eh...this thing that came up really was).

So Operatives of the System, now is the time to strike. The Merovingian and his friends are becoming desperate and their end is near. With your vigilance and hard work we can take down the terrorist known as TranqueThePhilosophe and bring order back to the Simulation.

. . . You still have shabby shoes. . .

Greetings Operatives.

I apoligise for any lack of updates, i was feeling...not quite myself. Needless to say, that has been dealt with, and i am now ready to continute our mission of protecting the stability of this System from Terrorist threats.

It seems however, that the terrorist designated Tranque has gone into hiding again after our last little meeting, but i am sure he will come crawling back out of the woodwork soon enough.

Until then, your mission now is to root out any Merovingian Terrorist that may be associated with him or his minions. Use whatever means you can, and remember these Exile lovers are liars and tricksters. Suspect everyone and trust no one...Well except for me...and eh, Agent Gray of course.

Good luck Operatives.

What gets me is that Tranque is more like a Machinist than your typical Merv, so I don't see what the deal is, Barnsley.

And dangit, you beat me to giving you a little something I had to knock over five yetis to get for you. Ah well.

Greetings again Operatives.

I am sending this transmission to inform you that i have just created a Simulacrum on the Vector instance to widen my search for the terrorists. I have so far come across a loyal Machine Operative by the name of OooRoyooO, an unknown Zion Operative, and another Zion Operative by that name of Andriica, who is a little too critical of Former Agent's Simulacrums for my liking.

                                                                   ::Code Capture of OooRoyooO, Unknown Zion Operative and Andriica::

I have informed Mr. OooRoyooO to notify me of the names of loyal and trustworthy Machine Operatives, as well as any Merovingain Organizations who may be connected with Tranque's Terrorist cell. So far only one name has come up 'Dark Evolution'.

I am confident that this widened search will root out the terrorists and that my presence in the Vector instance will be benificial for the System as a whole.

You, sir, are extremely dim-witted. You have been after Tranque for.....how long? Quite a while, no? And yet I've been able to accomplish in a short amount of time singlehandedly on Syntax what it's taken you quite a bit of time to do on Recursion. How sad.

Well, Barnsley is the Agent equivalent to a goofy, ineffective cop in a Hollywood comedy...

Dear Agent Barney Fife,

As a former collegue of Tranque on the Recursion Iteration, I hearby offer to turn myself in to you on the Vector iteration.  I am a terrorist associate ergo a terrorist myself by your definition.  Therefore, I am ready to meet you at any time, any place anywhere in Vector, so that you can capture and incarcerate me or whatever you plan on doing.  All you need to do is tell me where to be, and I'll be there.  So, where shall it be?  What time?  Come apprehend me.  I'm waiting.

Greetings Operatives.

A new development has come up in my investigation of the whereabouts of the terrorist know as Tranque. My Simulacrum ran into two men in the Tabor Park area, both who i believe know more about the target than the both let on.

One of the men, a Merovingian Operative himself and going by the name Carradine, seems rather protective of Tranque, reffering to him as the 'doc' although stating that he has never met him, i believe otherwise. He also informed me that an associate of his, The Voodooist, who has gone missing was last seen with the terrorist (leading me to believe that Tranque has continued his murderous ways and disposed of him also).

The other man, is a Zionite Operative, very aggressive and secretive, he refused to reveal his name (as did any of the other Operatives in the area, even the Machine ones. With any luck they too will be made an example of in the near future). His suspicious behaviour, leads me to believe that he is some way involved with Tranque, perhaps even a member of his cell. Either way it is of the most importance that we get information on him at once.

     ::Code Capture of Carradine (Grey Shirt) And the Unkown Zionite Operative (penchant for Cigarettes and Sitting on Benches::

Any information you can find on these two men may be of the upmost importance, so use all your skills to follow, interrogate and investigate to get to the bottom of their connection with this threat against the system.

Once again, good luck Operatives.

Greetings Operatives.

You will be pleased to know i have made some progress on the location of our terrorist. On one of my usual sweeps of the Tabor area investigating the appearance of a strange, suspisciously mute cat (possibly a terrorist, i have yet to uncover it's motives) i came across a Merovingian Operative by the name of Navron.

                                                   ::Code Capture of the Merovingian Operative Navron and his Accomplice Ryoukora::

Claiming to be an enemy of Tranque, the Merovingian told me that he had arranged a Cypherite attack on his ship, and that the terrorist had come off rather badly indeed. Good news i am sure you will agree, however, stopping Tranque should never be left in the hands of Merovingian Operatives, the thought that they would be able to accomplish such a task boggles the mind (Also this story could very well be some sort of trap).

Questioning Mr. Navron on the current location of the terrorist, he appeared to have what can only be described as some of stroke, talking a strange jibberish i could only assume was French (However my translator MEDIATORUS informed me that this was not the case). The only thing i was able to obtain from him after his bizzare transformation was the word 'Dawg' and 'Rogers Way', leading me to believe that Tranque is hiding out there.

So i ask all Operatives to start scouring Rogers Way immediatly, fortunatly due to circumstances i will not go into just now, i have expert knowledge of that area and will soon dig out our rat in no time.

Good luck Operatives, the net is closing and our mission is almost over.
