Woohoo! Captured Midian and we are now aware of a National Threat!

QUERY@BeRzErKeR: Any prior info on EIS?

The name was mentioned in one prior report, connected with some shifts in the Mafia hierarchy among the New York families. It isn't clear what, exactly, Eis may have had to do with that, but it seems obvious that he or his organization - assuming that he controls or is part of one - are mixed up with Cosa Nostra in some way.

Pardon me Berserker, but I asked this before and never got an answer.

What would Walter's and vampire Walter's stats like? And what do we know about him?


FILE NOT FOUND

(OOC: Hellsing ain't telling you shit about Walter. The last thing they want is for news to get out that one of their oldest and most trusted agents turned traitor to join a pack of insane Nazi vampires.)
 
The only thing we know is that he was expecting us, or more accurately Cerberus.

Director Khaki : " Well... Agent CERBERUS has spent the precedent quarter leading a hunt in New York and finding evidence of a Midian community there. That those Midian expected it to come back with more men is really no big deal in my book. Neither is agent Cerberus asking permission to finish the job itself. "

QUERY: Capabilities of and previous incident files relating to Cosa Nostra.
 
Dude, we don't have any dossiers from 1962.

Anything we had on Walt probably went up with the Bureau.
We definitely need to get some of those Bureau boys to give us some information from the old days.

I'm guessing now that the 90 from before was to see if anything "fun" happened in New York, and the result was EIS waiting for us.

The 25... could be for MAD DOG again, or maybe for ENEMY MINE. Who knows.

We should probably hit that up next turn: Those gents aren't getting any younger. Maybe also want to start something with those old MATTHEW relics we recovered.

Hopefully there's no catastrophes that require being hit by loads of funding to resolve.

Actually in the plan this quarter:

[X] Operation DOUBLE CHECK: Continue rechecking other paranormal events. Funding 1.
-[X] Interview former members of BUREAU OF OPERATIONS AND COMMAND to gain information about their activities, anything they learned, and any previous, now defunct organizations that may be of interest. Ask if anyone knows anything about a SUPER SOLDIER SERUM project. Funding 1.

OOC: Well, we're not building a containment facility or hiring new troops next turn, which gives us 20ish funding to work with. I would prefer to keep a reserve though, so let's put off investigating relics until we have a bit of a reserve built up for emergencies.

Cross your fingers.

I'm hoping we can spend 20 on getting Samson tech ready to be sold (and this time no Director running off to Russia with the money).

We might also need to hire another Investigative team or Covert Team. Hopefully we get some additional revenues from our investments...

Let's drop the super soldier bit shall we. We do not want Steve Rodgers, we don't even need Steve Rodgers, our cybernetics are easily superior to what the serum gives people. And anything that can lead to super heroes popping up should never be followed up on. We have enough problems without overly moralistic loose cannon control freak drama queens in spandex showing up.

Cybernetics hasn't really cut down on the superhero generation rate (insofar as anyone working for an unsupervised black-ops group can be considered a hero at all). Both CERBERUS and AJAX are not replicable at the moment. How would any super-serum generated hero be any different than our existing agents, even if it couldn't be replicated? It would just be another high-powered agent.
 
Steve Rodgers could be an asset. He's a patriotic American who fought Nazis. We are an American agency up against Nazis who just assassinated the President. We point Rodgers at some Nazis we find, and let him go.

Now can we use him for some of the more... dirty operations? No, of course not. But so what? We got CERBERUS to do that. It's not like we are all that dark and evil either. At most we've told some half truths and bent some laws for the safety of the average citizen.

Main reason I'm curious about the subject is that he would fit the theme rather well, and there are a couple hints (FRIDGUS) that suggest he might be out there. If he is, then we can decide what to do about it. If not, then it doesn't really matter does it?

I doubt other superheroes will show up even if Rodgers is out there, as the rest of them do not fit the theme the way Rodgers would.

All the plan is doing right now is seeing what our options are.

Don't we once in a while get freaks of nature like Walter, Eddie Murphy or the original Van Hellsing who are simply just that good? Chances are, if we keep doing what we have been doing and combing our services for people who show themselves to be unusually good at this kind of shit, that we are going to nab super powered SOBS now and then.

He's a super hero, which might as well be defined by being an overly moralistic loose cannon control freak drama queen. The very moment we do something that goes against his personal ethics he will go against us with everything he has(not to mention being annoyingly paternalistic about it too) and he will find out because super heroes always find out and he will go against us because Super Heroes are very Black and White when it comes to their ethics and morals. If it came down to a choice between having Alucard and a super hero I would choose Alucard every time because at least you don't have to worry about him turning on you the moment you do something that is ethically questionable. And this is Hellsing, we will do things ethically questionable quite often. So repeat after me
 
So I had a brainwave:

What if we make a deal with Hellsing and the other supernatural hunting agencies?

Basically, information exchange, combined with each other keeping backups of the data in their countries. Nothing classified, just stuff on the various supernatural baddies.
 
RESEARCH PROJECT STATUS:

Project UNDERWORLD: Study of the neurological mechanism behind alleged 'vampire magic' phenomena. FAILED

Project XERXES: Examination of Midian muscle-fibers and parallel applications of carbon fiber in implant development. ONGOING

Project GEHENNA: Proposal to begin manufacture of 120mm silver-cased AP tank shells suitable for use in the Abrams MBT, in cooperation with Northrup-Grumman and the Episcopalian bishop of Washington, DC. REJECTED

Project LAZURUS; Physiological study of Midian regeneration and the practically of synthetic cellular-reconstruction-stimulating drugs. PROPOSED

Combat Teams are currently outfitted with high-caliber battle rifles and SMGs, three 40mm grenade launchers per squad, one electromagnetic sniper rifle per squad, SAMSON semi-powered body armor (Class III equivalent), and one Bradley IFV per squad.

Was reading through the early posts again to see if we missed anything. We might want to reopen this UNDERWORLD project, or at least something related to it.

Dang we need more research teams.
 
Maybe we can 'subcontract' out to DARPA or the like? Nothing supernatural, but some of the simpler stuff like silver based weapons: The kind of things that don't breach major national secrets, and that would free up research teams for other, more sensitive projects.
