PREVIEW: all kinds of things are a happening in Project VIGILANCE Seattle – 1. The Governor of Washington, Brent Whitman, has been Assassinated! Right on the steps of the Space Needle on Live TV and in front of hundreds of witnesses! Who could have done it! Cause there are NO clues to be found so far!!!! The Lieutenant Governor, Lori Flanagan, has order the Last Watch to solve this crime at all costs and to make it their top priority. 2. High-Tech Weapons Robbers have struck the downtown Core with terror and wanton destruction!!! 3. A nuclear bomb has gone missing from a Montana Missile Silo! Even worst; a Super-Flu Retro Virus from the C.D.C. was stolen on the same day from a secure facility in Maryland. 4. Terrorist are threatening to bring the Space Needle down, and to set up the nuclear bomb somewhere in the Pacific West Coast unless $500 million dollars worth of diamonds are paid to them in one week! 5. F.I.S.H. has issued a nation wide state of emergency!!! 6. Turn in tomorrow night for this questions… and many more! To be relieved inside!!! (like who is the mysterious winged-shadow the news has dubbed the `Murder of Crows'? – could he be related to Magnus or Talon or no-one? Is he a vigilantly or a murder who just happens to target drug dealers and criminals? Why is Will'o'wisp been so sick lately? She never gets colds?? John Dee has disappeared again and left Kid Omega with some business decisions to make, but does he have the time? The lawyers say no… and what new message of dread and doom has Adam Last been spouting down on backstreets of Seattle??) Governor Assassination Clues • The Governor of Washington, Brent Whitman, has been Assassinated! Right on the steps of the Space Needle on Live TV and in front of hundreds of witnesses! Who could have done it! Because there are NO clues to be found so far!!!! The Lieutenant Governor, Lori Flanagan, has order the Last Watch to solve this crime at all costs and to make it their top priority. • He was giving a speech about the `opening of space' via the Space Needle and the importance of Seattle to the world. He was a large backer of Randle Cross and sponsored a number of bills that built the Needle. • Whitman was shot with some kind of high power destructive ray from a nearby Skyscraper. There was an almost perfectly cauterized 6" hole blown through his chest, the steel-reinforced podium he was standing behind and the security guard standing behind the Gov. It also bore a hole into the sidewalk behind them both… about a foot or so. • Cameras were trained on all nearby buildings, etc. Two cameras focused on the Westin-Seattle Towers went `dark' for about one minute, but there seems to have been no malfunction or tapering reported to security monitoring the area. There was a Federal sniper on a nearby tower who was assisted to monitor that area but he disappeared and has not been seen sense. Security cameras recorded him going to the tower but don't have any recording of him coming back down. No evidence of him leaving or whereabouts have been found. • On the roof, two sets of boot prints were found, one in combat boots and one in slippers. Also a mini-EMP pulse must have gone off on the roof. Nuclear Bomb Thief • The Military and F.I.S.H. have identified Oliver Harris, a disgruntled Air Force Lieutenant. He also stole a prototype automatic blaster pistol and force field protector device. • Little to no background clues on Lt. Harris have been found. He was single, his parents were dead, he seemed to have no fiends, no debts etc. Flu Thief Clues • None at this time. Only that it was on the same day as the as the nuclear bomb was stolen. Terrorist Clues • Pervious unknown group calling itself FORCE. No agenda or demands besides money have been made by them. • They have not made their demands public at this time. They are threatening to bring the Space Needle down with a nuclear bomb AND they will release the Virus somewhere in the Pacific West Coast unless $500 million dollars worth of diamonds are paid to them. • AFTER DIAMOND DROP – Helicopter was rented by one John Jones, with cash. Pilot's license and business were both bogus with no clues called "Shy-High Advertising". • Area where teleporter goes is an Office Building renting two months ago by Shell/Dummy Company called `World Tours in Paradise" in San Francisco. Dumped bags that diamonds were in and there the office looks like no one has been here in over a month. Murder of Crows Mystery Clues • Three drug-dealers in and around the Yesler area of downtown have been killed in the last 4 weeks. Two of them dealt in a variety of different drugs, but they all dealt something called "Jazz" – a new auditory hallucinate and stimulate that has come to the streets for the last few weeks. • Witnesses all describe a large number of crows or ravens being in the area just before the deaths… all making a great deal of noise. This is where the newspapers' name `the Murder of Crows' came from. • One homeless man claims to have seen a "dark figure, with the black wings of a crow and a face like the death carrion bird itself" in the area of the last murder. • All of them have had their necks snapped by someone with incredible strength. One had an emptied 9mm Glock next to his body. 14 shell casings and some bullets were recovered but no blood. Will'o'wisp sickness • She has been having a fever with sweats and chills for the last week. She has not gotten sick sense she gained her powers. Nothing new has been happening in her life and she can think of nothing out of the ordinary. Adam Last's Crazy Predictions • "Fire shall fall from the sky and Daemons will appear out of no where to terrorize the faithful" • "They will claim to be `holy' but their words have been corrupted by greed and their curses are hollow" • "The last days of the first man are upon us… repents and be forewarned on the dark host… the savior behind the mask of humility" • His Visions included 1.) a Forest (that looked like Seattle) with a huge tree falling down and destroying the forest; 2.) a Huge Shark at sea with a multi-colored robe wearing dude summoning daemons to attack some points of light; and 3.) a giant beautiful man (mesia like) standing on a mountain on an island grabbing stars from the sky. Little human figures are worshipping the beautiful man who then turns into a daemon. Fire appeared in all three visions. Last but not least… the man who approached Talon in the park has asked to meet him there. His message was that he had information about `the FORCE'. When he got there, just before he dies he said "Stop them… you must stop them before… ARCK!" and then feel. Just before he died he muttered "…Fo… for… Shadowhawk…" and then died!!!!

After returning from the Island of Dr. Apocalypse, the team is raked over the coals about the whereabouts of Portal. Since Last Watch is exhausted, Clockwork takes them out for cards and beer as regular guys. Naturally, Talon refuses. Later Talon is contacted by someone calling him by his birth name, Harlan Robinson. The mysterious message promises info about Dr. Apocalypse, but only provides confusion as the unmasked Harlen is tricked into walking in on the Last Watch poker game. Suddenly they receive an emergency transmission from First Watch, a smaller investigative wing of Watch. They arrive in Belleview and join First Watch to take on an Apocalypod in a battle which stalemates. The Apocalypod leaps away, but Hyper-Sonic manages to alter its massive jump so that it just misses the cities skyscrapers and lands in the drink. While the rest of the team takes a breather, Jetboy's keen eye tracks something moving underground, eastbound below Yesler Way...
