RE: car accident and recent attacks


Can anyone determine the identity of the hostile in the following footage?

[ since Adam, by himself, wasn't quite able to. he embeds a A VIDEO, which shows everything that happens in that thread starting from the comment I linked to. It's Adam's point of view, so everything's seen through his eyes, and there's sound as well. THE THREAD IS NOT QUITE WRAPPED UP YET but I am assuming Martin will make a spectacular escape since he still has other people to maul. ELLE LET ME KNOW IF I ASSUME WRONG ]

Any information is appreciated. From the looks of it, everything points to this being the culprit responsible for the recent occurrences of physical assault and injury. I'd strongly suggest not trying to engage the individual in question; and please let us know about any developments regarding this situation.

[sadly, it looked like they were terrorizing him from Koltira's point of view, which is certainly more than a little skewed by this point.]

You don't need to be involved.

[neveraskedforthis]

Oh, right. Do I need to be stabbed first to have any right to be involved?

[deadelfwalking]

[well ...KINDA ...]

This is a delicate situation. [sighing, a little more gently.] I realize that you mean well. But there is nothing you can do, nothing that will make this right.

[neveraskedforthis]

I want this to end before more people are getting hurt. The kid in question obviously does not have any control over himself, and who's to say something like this won't happen again in the future, even if you manage to find a temporary solution? So tell me who. It. Is.

[deadelfwalking]

My apologies. In good conscience, I cannot.

[neveraskedforthis]

You're not doing him a favor. But fine, be that way.

[ he'll mercilessly hack all your communications and find out like that. SIGH. you people are just enabling him. ]

[deadelfwalking]

[DISHONOR. Koltira doesn't even know what 'hacking' is, really, though, so there's not a lot he can do. Except find it dishonorable!]

[neveraskedforthis]

[ ;D naturally I'm not going to godmod here so there's always the possibility for Adam to fail, but if you're cool with it, he'll trace/hack/monitor all network communications of Koltira, even archived ones. I'm assuming there's at least something pointing towards Martin? ]

[deadelfwalking]

[oh no, my swiss-cheese memory ... now that I think about it, he hasn't really discussed the situation with anyone in a network capacity, excepting with Anora over here? And even then, there wasn't a name. So ... Adam might not actually find anything he can use! There's nothing Koltira can do to stop him from looking, though.]

[healplz]

[ BUTTING IN TO SAY... OOPS ]

[deadelfwalking]

[AHAHA. WELL THAT WORKS. Thanks, Liz X) ]

[neveraskedforthis]

[ EXCELLENT. So hacked. and he'll even rub it in

edit: or just read since this was public oops ]

private text. unhackable

[neveraskedforthis]

[ a couple minutes later. ]

Martin Darkov. I'd like to say thanks for the info, but I'm sure you agree that you weren't very forthcoming with it.

[deadelfwalking]

[SCOWL.] If you harm the child, know this: you will suffer for it.

[neveraskedforthis]

If only I got a penny every time someone said that to me, I'd be fucking rich.

[deadelfwalking]

[even inorganic structures are affected by his brand of death and decay, so he ain't too worried about that attempt at swagger, except ...]

You are often threatened with regard to children?

[neveraskedforthis]

I find it really flattering how you're jumping to conclusions by assuming I'm out to kill him.

[ fuck you, he's offended. he lost his job years ago because he REFUSED to kill a kid. ]

I don't kill if I can help it, but something needs to be done. At least restrain him until we know what to do about his condition, for Christ's sake.

[deadelfwalking]

[He didn't see any other way to take it, honestly! The threat is very clearly based on Martin's status as a child--not a goonish attempt to intimidate for no reason.]

As with anyone else, I can go only by what I know. I know nothing about you aside from what you have shown here, and to me, it does not suggest good faith. I may be wrong. But I don't even have your name.

[neveraskedforthis]

[ yeah, not like he's actually taking action here and trying to avoid people dying. surely that's totally not indicative of a person trying to do what's best. ]

My name is Adam Jensen, and I used to be a cop. A good cop doesn't have to kill children while still trying to protect civillians at large.

[deadelfwalking]

[That just isn't how he's perceiving it, unfortunately. Something about those Darkovs!]

Yes; the people must be protected--and I have done so for several of them as it stands. Martin is out of his mind with fear and desperation. Strangers approaching him as you have done will not help. Let the people who know him try to reach him. Protect the civilians; the other transports. But I ask you not to engage the child, not now.

[neveraskedforthis]

Then fucking get the situation under control, now. Before someone else shoots to kill.

[deadelfwalking]

[don't worry Adam; you will get to hold the 'i told you so' bag at the end of the road. But for now Koltira is just going to STAMP OFF IN A DISGRUNTLED FASHION. Because he knows that's true, of course.]
