Video - Keeping Promises
[The video opens on what could be a video game interface - a first-person view looking down from above, a courtyard with Initiative personnel taking a break from their work, enjoying lunch and the outside air, each individual bracketed with HUD reticles as they go about their business, while a variety of status indicators frame the edge of the display. Osprey's voice is heard, calm and professional.]
It has been 32 hours since I issued my demands. There has been no apology from the Initiative, nor has there been any indication that any is forthcoming.
[Osprey's sniper rifle comes into view in the frame, and the display changes, zooming in on one particular table down below, where several men are having lunch. The tracking reticle on one changes color from white to red, and the video of the man discussing the use of the mind control drug displays next to him.]
Colonel Jonathan Landry. The man responsible for the attempted brainwashing attempt.
[The video disappears, and crosshairs appear, centered on the Colonel's head. Then comes the bang, and the man's now headless body tumbles from his seat, before the video cuts to Osprey in front of a non-descript background.]
I repeat my demands. A public apology from the Initiative. Immediate cessation of the drugging. And increased openness and collaboration with the transports in the execution of the campaign against the United Earth. If no apology has been delivered in 24 hours, I will attack a new target, and then again 24 hours after that.
If there has been no apology by the time of my third strike, I will be forced to conclude that the Initiative prefers a state of guerilla warfare, and the pace of attacks will increase. I await your response.

Guerilla warfare? Is he mad? This place is filled with children.

Urban combat is a nightmare. They need to get out.

Has there been any response by the Initiative to his attack yet? Has anyone else joined him? If it's just Osprey, it may be easier to simply try and contain him before the city does turn into a combat zone. But at this point I would expect that others have taken up arms by now. Or will be, soon.
no subject
No response at the moment. Judging by the comments here, there are some who are considering joining him or at least support him. If this isn't resolved quickly, I'm worried it could easily turn into us fighting each other.
Best case scenario, the Initiative will appease him and we'll at least have time to figure something out.
no subject
All right, then we'll leave Osprey be for the moment and hope the Initiative responds soon. In the meanwhile, I'm going to continue trying to evacuate some of the transports. What will you be doing?
no subject
Evacuation sounds like a good plan. I've been working on some sort of a safe house, and it looks like Robin Hood has a similar idea. I'll offer him my help and attempt to get those who can't leave or aren't willing to a safe place to stay here.
I appreciate knowing you're working on this as well.

Same to you, Roslyn.

Thank you.
