"
I could ask the same thing to you, buddy. Now then, what's going on here?" says PirateJoe, attempting to prevent the gun toting teenager from causing him harm. The young man speaks up, saying, "What? Dude, you're trespassing, and we don't like trespassers." Before PirateJoe can speak up, the teen aims his gun up, and then he squeezes the trigger. [3 v 9] PirateJoe, quick like lightning, dodges the bullet, before charging at the boy. [9 v 1] As the teen points his gun back up, he attempts to fire, before learning that the first shot was also the last bullet. PirateJoe tackles him to the ground, and then says, in a voice utterly demented, "
Talk." [1] Before the boy can speak, however, he laughs out, and says, "It's quite simple...
223." The Boy suddenly drops to the ground, his eyes rolled back into his head in death. Spotting the boy's keys, Joe opens the door, and sneaks inside, not seeing anything at first. While inside, he becomes a bit more aware of the fact that he's currently bleeding out...

BiggerFish rushes over to Abigail, and calms her down enough to get her to stop vomiting, before bringing her a bucket and nabbing cold medicine from a First Aid Kit backstage. After sitting down on a chair to calm himself, he simply says, "
Well then. He showed up.". Walking back over to Abigail, with a few words of sympathy, BiggerFish picks up her notebook, and begins reading. Aside from the things she wrote during the interview, which were normal and in touch, He sees a few things that are interesting. For starters, he sees a phone number with a "Call Me" written on it. Under that, however, were when things started going haywire. In a writing style different then Abigail's, specifically in a bolder font, was to be frank, oddities. Aside from a few nonsense phrases, BiggerFish could make out some things. For example, the number 223 was repeated in a few passages, and there appeared to be a coherent instruction for BiggerFish, which must be what Abigail scribbled down. "Check out this book at the local library, it'll give the answers!" Followed by a place on a bookshelf to find it.
Somewhere in Central Asia
Time: Early Night. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/18/2016
After the bandages and ointment was applied, NRDL was ready to call it a day, but he still wanted answers. "
Sure, yeah. I am curious about a lot of different things. One, exactly where am I, and what's the state of it? Any, like, military bases or anything?" said the flashy NRDL. Adam paused for a second, before saying, "Uzbekistan. You're in Uzbekistan. Everything's calm right now. No military bases, we are in the middle of plains right now." Nodding, NRDL then says, "
Alright. Next, I need to know if there's, like, a Telecommunications building or something.". Adam then turns to him and says, "No. Sorry, but when I say middle of nowhere, it's probably means middle of nowhere.". Nodding again, NRDL then says, "
Alright, and finally, what's your story, and what is it with this book, exactly?, gesturing to "
The Triad: The True Story of the Cult of Jericho". Adam then looks to the book, before handing it to NRDL. He then responds with, "Just read it. As for the first thing, it's kinda top secret. All I can say is, there's a reason I have this book." Nodding once more, NRDL cracks open the book, it's contents being:
"Started by a member only known as Astrid, the Cult of Jericho is a complicated beast. The Cult is technically split between two factions, friendly to eachother, but different in nature. The Worshipers are what make up the Cult part of it. They believe that a group of 3 known as the Triad are deities who came to Earth in order to perform a mysterious task. The Worshipers have many theories, but all of them believe the Triad to be divine in nature. The Non-Worshipers are the other faction. Similar to the Worshipers, except for quite the obvious fact. They do not believe the Triad to be Gods, per se. Rather, they believe them to be supernatural beings, who are performing their mysterious actions in an attempt to rule the world, or conquer it, or some other similar purpose. While it isn't known which side is right, there is proof by non-members that the Triad exist, so a question spread within the group is if such a debate matters."
"The group that governs the Cult of Jericho, the Triad are the 3 beings that Astrid has idolized. While it is known that the 3 are in fact in a group, what their personal relationship actually is, is quite unclear. The members are known as Jericho, Exodus, and while the third has had many names, he has referred to himself as the Operator. Their legends, their origins, are what Astrid did research on, and is therefore what started his obsession, and eventually the Cult Of Jericho."
The Legend of The Immortal:
Around 300 years ago, a warrior whose original name remains unknown to this day was locked into a battle. It was unclear who he was fighting, and for what purpose, but what is known is what happened afterwards. The Warrior lost the duel, and was slain. After he died, he laid in a field for 4 hours, when someone came to visit his corpse. The Person had a cloak covering it's whole form, but what it did to the Warrior spoke louder than any name. With a wave of it's hands, the Warrior suddenly rose, gasping and choking. When asked what happened, the Person simply gave him the answer. The Person was a powerful demon known as Legion, and in exchange for the Warrior's soul, he would bring him back to life. The Warrior thought of this, before accepting. Dark magics swarmed the land, wind howling, and the trees shaking. When the Warrior came back, he noticed something was...off. His soul was taken...but so was his flesh. His skin, and muscle were taken by Legion as well. The Warrior was not fazed, as this helped him to create a new identity. He called himself Jericho, after the mighty city that crumbled, and sought further penance. For 300 years, he walked the Earth, until 1992, when he met the second member of what would become the Triad.
The Legend of the Spirit:
February 23rd, 1992. 2:23 PM. That was the date and time the Operator first appeared. At that point, a young doctor had come back home, when he saw a bright flash of purple light burst in through the windows, blinding him. When his vision returned, he saw something in his living room. It appeared to be the floating silhouette of a human, with glowing purple eyes. The Creature, without a word, merely raised it's arms up to it's head, before miming the snapping of it's neck. The Doctor realized far too late what happened, as he lost control and snapped his own neck. His corpse tumbled to the ground, which the Creature gladly floated toward. It flew into the body, the corpse now rising upon the power of the Creature. With a new body, the Creature ran outside of the house. Spotting a few other houses, the Creature laid waste to the inhabitants, using Dark Magic to do twisted things, such as immolating them alive. Before he could spread out and do more damage, he came across an odd sight. An large man, wearing black armor, with a horned helmet. He had a large sword in his sheath, and glowing red eyes. The Creature attacked the man, before finding that no matter what it did, the man was only barely fazed. Jericho looked upon the possessed man, before calmly telling him what he wanted. He needed someone to help him with his mission, which was unclear, but the Creature couldn't turn down helping a powerful being. It decided to give itself a new name, settling on the Operator. The two walked for years, the Operator devastating anything he could, until 201-
While there didn't seem to be a page for Exodus, there did seem to be pages missing. NRDL puts the book down, and just sits there, absorbing the knowledge he'd gained...
Parliament, Rwanda
Time: Early Night. Weather: Clear Night Sky. Date: 7/18/2016
TCM didn't do anything except stare at Drone Operator for about a solid minute before saying, "
So we outfitted our best unit for perhaps the mission of the century and we neglect to give them rifles or grenades. Such is the Rwandan military.". The Drone Operator merely nods, before hurrying back to his station to check on the R.I.S.E. Drone. He bids the Religious Leaders farewell, but gives them a Skype Account to call, so that they may speak to TCM about matters as serious as this. TCM then sits down at the table, drinks some Rwandan Flower Wine, checks his watch, takes another sip, does a double take at the time, and then does a spit take at the fact that he's supposed to be meeting up with Princess Raheena Kader for their date. Racing over to the Airport in a Royal Limo, he charters a plane to the Middle East. [10] Luckily, the next plane there is not only boarding, but every seat in First Class is currently empty. Picking a chair, TCM boards the plane, and it takes off a few minutes after.
Beirus leads another service, this time to help the Archangels that are fighting Hawk, making sure to include Bobsledding and Soccer metaphors. [7+3+1] In the prayer, he mentions the power gifted to the military, and in turn, gives that power to the Archangels! [+3 Attack, +3 Defense]
Sleepy Crater, Muqur District, Badghis, Afghanistan
Time: Early Night. Weather: Overcast. Date: 7/18/2016
((Idle)) Ardent continues thinking of his master plan, which involves the deaths of everyone else, except him. He is struggling with the "how", however.
"
I'm tired of this,", Hawk thought to himself as he stared at the other 2 Archangels. "
Sick and tired. Sure, I wanted to kill God, but I didn't expect Angels to show up. Still, the less opposition, the better.". Pointing his RPD at Job and Esther, he clearly didn't expect God's Defense to show up again. [6 v 8+3] Hawk fires 9 shots at Job and Esther, but the bullets actually catch in mid-air, before being thrown back towards Hawk. [5+3 v 4] The Forcefield smashes the bullets, but it still damages the field. [10 damage]
While Job and Esther still stay back, Josiah races back to stab a Hawk! [8+3 v 8] The Forcefield blocks the blow, but God's Defense does make the field flicker and warp slightly. [CRIT! 2d10. 1 damage+4 damage=5 damage] Hawk turns back, only to seen Josiah standing there, gesturing.
After burning the pages, The Elite Force figured they could look for Hawk later, only to see a figure in white gesture to him. Pistols at the ready, they go over to see what the man wants, only to see Hawk right there. Hawk quickly realizes what's happening, just as bullets whiz out. [9+3 v 1] Suddenly, the Forcefield actually powers down, the sheer punishment making it incapable to function. Hawk pauses for just a second before attempting to run. [4] While he is blocked in, they don't seem eager to kill him just yet...

Before Sheet Note:
World Building!
If you're wondering where 223 came from, from an OOC perspective, it was a random number I thought of when I made the Operator, and when I worked it into his back story, I wanted it to be similar to the Slenderverse show Marble Hornets, where numbers repeating meant Slendy was near.http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WordOfGod-----------------------
