(please review footage) Area: Russia Total time: 2 months End Result: Failure Begin trial xxxxx2? >yes >no "So it failed yet again?" "It would seem so. Perhaps the people up there are different than when we last visited. We could call in a weakling to investigate." "Or we could ask one of our agents up there." "Most of them stopped correspondence with us decades ago. Hell just isn't cool with the kids these days, coming from hell is another story, the disaffected youth is attracted to disaffected youth." "Operation Mary will work, if we can fix the memory error this would go so much faster." "We've been working on that for millennia, I don't think we'll be making progress any time soon." "Fine send her to India, the high populations should work to our advantage. I'll start the sequence." "Hold on there's a problem with the placement program, its rerouting. We are loosing visual, I'm getting locked out of the system." "Its the little blip we've been picking up isn't it, damn maggots suddenly think they're important. "I found a way in, I'm sending her to a small town to the east of the source, hopefully she can get some kills under her belt before she goes off to the big leagues." "Big Leagues? that's pretty generous for minor demons and purgatory plebeians." "It's as big as it gets for earth. I wonder if killing the killers will have any effect on the trial." "Have you forgotten trial xx? She killed a murderer as her trigger they are worth at least 5 normal kills, I would say it's safe to assume that the more kills the bigger boost she gets." "Still, something fishy is going on." "Well there isn't anything we can do at the moment" --Transmission Ended-- [/hider] Mary blinked a few times, she was having trouble remembering anything from before. Wait, what was she trying to remember and why? She was in an abandoned shack and without a clue about anything from before those first couple of blinks. She staggered to her feet, leaning against a wall. There was a lot of trash around the room, beer bottles, cigarettes, a weird glass tu---nevermind she knew what that was. Obviously someone had been using the shack for nefarious purposes. Little did she know they were back, well she didn't know until it was too late. A group of snickering teens burst through the door and stopped in their tracks when they saw her, six packs of beer in hand. The tallest and most stupid looking stepped forward, "Miss, you are trespassing on private property. You don't look like you're from around here, you could get in quite a bit of trouble, you know." "And so could you, you look a little young to be drinking." She spat back at them, "So if you don't say anything, I won't either." The big one chuckled and his friends followed suit. "Sorry Miss, I don't trust strangers. But I know how to make them stay quiet, especially when they're as fine as you." His grin made Mary feel sick and he stepped forward and grabbed her right arm. She tried to pull away but his smile only grew, "I wouldn't make such a fuss, you wouldn't want to get hurt, would you?" Mary was petrified, he tried to pull her closer to him. She had only one option, she grabbed the knife from its hilt and plunged it into his heart. She removed it and left him to bleed out, his friends were all too dumb to run away. She killed them to, seven in all. Covered in blood she headed towards town, feeling shaken and torn. Her eyes looked kind of empty and she seemed to have mentally checked out, a mistake that could end up costing her.
