"I must thank you again for taking this late meeting Mr. Kaplan" Zachariah Kreiger said as he walked down the length of the boardroom table. The wizened, stout man spoke with a deep English accent and moved gingerly, as if the slightest breeze would shatter his bones. At 65, his fragility seemed alarming to most who met the CEO and Founder of the Vigilance Security Group, but the business giant held in his possession a power deeper than any amount of money could bring. A power of control.
"I can assure you that your investment with my corporation is a sound decision. At our current rate of growth, your shares would triple in growth by the end of the new year's first quarter. Of course, with a larger investment, you would guarantee a larger return"
"Yes, it seems like quite a package" Kaplan said "And Vigilance would provide a full security detail for any public events we host?"
"That and a top of the line alarm system for all of your locations"
"That is excellent. I feel I'd be amiss not to mention my concerns about..... recent events"
"Are you referring to the murder at the hotel last night? Or another incident?"
"I suppose it is all very concerning. Makes me worry about how secure my money would be"
If Kaplan had been looking directly at him, he would have noticed Kreiger's eyes flash grey, just for a split second.
"I can assure you Mr. Kaplan, this "Reaper" is nothing but a minor inconvenience. The setbacks his attacks have caused are insignificant in the long run. I've already commissioned my best man to deal with him. You will forget about him and write a cheque for double your initial investment. And we will speak no more of the matter"
"Yes sir" Kaplan droned, zombie-like "I will forget about the vigilante and write a cheque. Let's go to my office right now"
Kreiger smiled cunningly, more to himself than anything "So glad to be in business with you Mr. Kaplan"

Reaper arrived home to find a folder lying in the mail basket. One of his informants must have come by the warehouse earlier to drop it through the door slot. Inside he found detailed photos and a breakdown of a production facility owned by Vigilance Security. A post-it note stuck to it read 'Floor 1/2- Equipment production. Seems legit. Storage and assembly area for weapons in the basement. 30-40 employees. Lancer sec. team on-site at all times. Next shipment expected October 16th, after hours. Bring something heavy'
He checked the time, he had less than 24 hours to prepare. But then again, he always loved a challenge. He sat and began to draw up a plan of attack.

"Yeah, I've heard enough" Reaper said as he stood "I've been around long enough to see how this is gonna go. The heroes unite, nothing can stop them now, but there's always something bigger lurking around the corner, something that teamwork and friendship can't overcome. Something that tears you apart and spits out the bones. I've seen enough kids die for no reason, so I'll leave you a piece of advice- stop this. Live a long, happy life in peace. Trying to make a difference will get you all killed. Seeing as our mysterious letter-sender hasn't seen fit to show up, I'm out. See ya around, remember what I said"
He ignored any calls of protest and walked out of the room. Back in the van, he turned over the engine and began the long drive back down to the "Devil's Corner" district. It was early yet, he could at least make the rest of the night useful to his cause.

Navi's voice chirped to life.
"The Default are running an undercurrent program to display a Game World identical to yours. However, it appears the Default are leveraging their viral properties into an advantage. Infecting NPCs to bypass them. However, in doing so, they have rendered themselves unable to overpopulate the world with player avatars as I have"
"I agree with Aliron" David said "We need to take the soul back sooner or later, may as well be sooner"
"I will force the game to move ahead to that stage. Constructing a fog gate on the far side of the tower. Please step through when you are ready"

GM says we're always accepting, and we just getting started, so i don't see why it'd be an issue!

"Heh, I've tried the whole team thing, didn't take to it" Reaper said just before another young man walked in.
'I rest my case' he thought.
"Well, if someone doesn't explain why I'm here soon, I'm out. I don't have time to babysit"

Reaper released his grip on the holstered gun, he wouldn't need it. He recognized the two costumed heroes from the news reports, composite sketches from the police, and tabloid photographs. Until now he had stayed clear of their areas of the city, unless he had a good reason to, and they stayed clear of his. He scoffed slightly at the situation.
'Kids playing in a sandbox they shouldn't'
Noting a chair with "Reaper" carved into it on the end, he marched over and sat.
"Just the address and time. I thought it was an intel drop. Wasn't expecting to find this"

even though he considers himself an anti-hero.
Anti-hero is an understatement where Reaper is concerned, yet here he is! (A flick of the wrist away from having Agent at gunpoint, but, still here..... its the thought that counts?) *insert awkward shoulder shrug here* :D
Forgot to tag you in my IC post earlier by the way, if you wanted to have a quick little dialogue before the others arrive.
