I was never all that into the original 13, and Grand Slam probably the least of all, but you made that truly beautiful and inspiring. Really epitomizes this whole project really. I love that he now gets to live out his OWN heroic story, and with jetpacks and lasers!

It's funny, there's almost NOTHING there (as is the case with about half of the O13) but the one thing Hama calls out is that he's quiet and likes to read sci-fi and comics, so it's like... well shit, let's do something with that, huh?
 
Hey lookit, timing a file card to go with @Ru1977 's thread today!

Code Name: Pathfinder
File Name: Iannotti, William V.
Primary Military Specialty: Jungle Assault Specialist
Secondary Military Specialty: Forward Observer/Recon
Birthplace: Key West, Florida
Rank: E-6

Let the record show: we simultaneously know exactly where this man is, and have no idea how to find him. Iannotti was one of the military's premiere jungle recon specialists but had few other skills - his surveillance team was not surprised when, upon dismissal from military service, he went directly back to the Florida swampland he was raised in. What we did not expect was for him to wander into the swamp and never come back. Agents suspect that Iannotti had planned for this eventuality, stashing gear and supplies in his favored territory, the equivalent of a survivalist go-bag. Ordinarily, we would consider this a problem that solved itself and good riddance, except Iannotti chose to disappear in roughly the same geographic region the Lewis administration has set up its secret, high-security prison where several former Joes are currently being detained. Prison security has been put on high alert, but at the moment, we have not seen signs of Iannotti's presence. This does not, however, indicate he isn't actually there.

"We always knew Pathfinder would go back to the swamp. The man's half gator himself, if I'm being honest. But it was a stroke of luck that Lewis built his new detention center smack-dab in the middle of Pathfinder's old stomping grounds. He's been watching the place for months, has the entire security routine logged and detailed, every inch of the exterior logged and annotated. He knows exactly which cell they've got Scoop in and a pretty good idea how we can get to Duke, too. It's not gonna be easy getting them out, but Pathfinder's done most of the heavy lifting for us already. And I'd bet dollars to donuts after the op he just fades back into the swamp like a prehistoric cryptid..."
 
Code Name: Night Creeper (DIRE Tech)
File Name: Various
Primary Military Specialty: Field Intelligence
Secondary Military Specialty: Covert Operations
Birthplace: Various
Rank: N/A

Officially, the Lewis administration has no stance on the partnership between Crystal Ball and the Night Creepers. Mr. King is an entertainer and long-time friend of President Lewis, but not someone to put much stock or energy into. What he does with his own private security detail is up to him, though, again, on the record, his decision to employ a known paramilitary group like the Night Creepers is somewhat troubling. Unofficially, we must watch this situation closely. The Night Creepers have been useful, off-the-books allies to the administration, handling tasks otherwise unsuitable for official military operations, and we maintain a standing mercenary contract with the assassin group. The bottom line is: no one in the administration knows how DIRE Tech works, and with this partnership, it appears that Crystal Ball is amassing a power base for unknown reasons to follow his own occult goals. It may be past time for the administration to intervene.

"Mindbender is lying. We all know it. He claims to know how DIRE Tech works but I've seen it for myself - if those blades are illusions, my mask is made of marshmallow. I am a man of science. I do not easily fall prey to superstition or flights of fancy. But I have also seen the things our Eels and Hydro-Vipers antagonized deep in the Atlantic. I have seen the monsters emerging from those ancient tunnels honeycombing the Himalayan mountains. I believe Crystal Ball - a man we all know was a huckster and snake oil salesman for most of his life - has tapped into something real, and arcane, and very dangerous. And I do not believe he fully controls it. But the question is: does he need to be put down, or is he just the weapon we need to hold in reserve for when Lewis inevitably goes too far?"

Yeah! Let's go get those guys! GREAT return to the missing guys too! I knew next to nothing about the guy so it's awesome that you've fleshed him out so well. I know you draw a lot from the filecards but I still wouldn't have known if not for this. He's like Croc Master crossed with Snake Eyes but no mask.

He really feels like the Anti-Croc Master, yeah. And I can't remember who said it in the other thread but he does share a lot of DNA with Muskrat, whom I need to do a file card for.

Now here's the question. If I were going to write the after-action report for a jail break... who does the collective group here think goes on that raid?
 
And the Dire Creeper is great. I love what a big deal this goofy hypnotist has turned into, and also the cracks that are widening in the organization. There is so much going on, and that mirrors reality so well. It's a happy kind of stress.

Oooooo.... well I think you answered one already, Muskrat right? Skydive is another from Florida. I think Max has gotta be assigned to that, and likely bring Spearhead along. Maybe, if you wanna get into repaints, Night Force Beachhead leads it?
