Update



Every day now I find over 200 emails in my inbox when I wake up. And more just keep coming through the day. Most of them aren’t worth the time spent reading them, but I still have to go through each one. Dozens of possible sightings of Arkady, messages from people claiming to be Arkady, proxies saying they’ve managed to kill Arkady…. They’re all false, but I still have to go through the procedures of filing and checking all of them. Then there are the usual forms for equipment and casualty records, which have been skyrocketing in the past few days. It seems like a day can’t go by without another proxy being found in a dumpster with their throat slit. And with every report like that, more panicked proxies start asking for even bigger guns to defend themselves with. Thanks to Truth giving Arkady top priority, most of those requests are being approved now, no matter how costly. It’s starting to feel like I’m supplying an army here.

Today was particularly bad. Another safehouse was burned down, and we still haven’t found out what happened to the people inside. When we sent someone to investigate the scene, they were ambushed en route. We leaked the car’s make and license number to the police, and a few hours later an officer found the car. Except then he made the mistake of trying to arrest Arkady on his own, so now we’ve got a dead police officer on top of all the dead proxies. Then I had to pay off some reporters because it would be really bad for our cover if the front page of the tomorrow’s paper had a picture of a dead officer with a sign saying, “This is between me and the Tall Guy. Please stay out of it.” Nailed to his chest.

Everyone’s on edge here. We keep someone watching all the windows throughout the day, trying to keep an eye out for Arkady, but it’s not making anyone feel any safer. I don’t think anyone is going to be getting much sleep while he’s still out there.

  1. Oh Arkady. Things were so peaceful when you weren't here.

    Any plans on getting all those guns back after the situation is dealt with? Because that could become a mess of its own.

    1. I'm not aware of any plans for after this is over. But I'm not the person they go to with those details, so we could have a full contingency already set up and I wouldn't know.

  2. If it's between him and the tall guy, then maybe he should stop killing proxies and start killing the tall guy, and we all just sail along, hm?

  3. With all the proxies being busy handling arkady us runners get a small break from proxies, hopefully. Although we still have to deal with slendy himself.

    If proxies don't wanna die then they should just stop being a bunch of traitors and join us runners. We could use some of those weapons as well you know.

    Imagine that, an army of runners.. Yeah not that good of an Idea. But its better than an army of crazy proxies.<x3

    1. I can assure you that not all the proxies are busy with this. This is one city. Or at the very worst its a state or region.

      The rest of you can take comfort that there is probably someone out there still being sent to kill you.

    2. I guess I'm just lucky then, haven't seen any proxies recently. Not even that weird sock bastard.

      Isn't that right Bob?

    3. Kelevra, Arkady and Fracture in the same comment section?

      Are you boys TRYING to give me NIGHTMARES????

      Delete
    4. No, if I was trying to do that, I'd put on a white sheet and then jump out of a dark alleyway at you while shouting "OOGA BOOGA BOOGA!"

    5. We should arrange that so I can give you your cat. Also do you want a tortoiseshell kitten or a black and white one?

      Delete
    6. Now that's a tough question. Can't I just have both?

      Delete
    7. Alright, you can have both. I'm warning you though, the black and white one looks like he's wearing a suit.

      Delete
    8. That only makes me want to have him more.

    12. Shirley Montgomery Finkleburg The Third! Thank you very much.

      Delete
    13. I give up.

      You're too stupid to insult.

      Good day, Finkleburg. I hope you die a very painful death.

    14. Bye Teressa.

      .....She digs me.

    15. Aw, poor Finkleyburg has delusions of grandeur. I think Rose prefers the type that isn't covered with bandaids.

    16. Oh really? I guess you would know all about what kind of "Type" George prefers, wouldn't you?

    19. You have to come visit Tyler so I can break a few bones of yours with my jo staff. Maybe you'll run into the proxy whose leg I broke yesterday.

    20. ERGH.

      You are worse than the Fears, Morningstar, Fracture...

      GAH!

      You are an IDIOT. You are the BANE of my EXISTENCE.

      Delete
    21. @Spyre: You can dream Spyre, dreams are nice.

      I dunno, ran into a lot of proxies with broken legs. Probably had something to do with that Arkady character up there.

      @Geroge:

      I love you too ^^.

    22. This is a good illustrations of one of the reasons I try to avoid associating with some of the proxies in our organization.

      Delete
    23. You are the most...

      I'd just LOVE to see you try and come after me. I would demolish you, you bastard.

      Delete
    24. And you're the illustration of why I hate most of my "Colleagues". Most of you are such Buzz Kills, it ain't even funny.

      Delete
    25. @Bob: As I told Spyre, we can all dream.

      Delete
    26. I actually kinda like you, Kelevra. Not that I wouldn't render you infertile without a second thought.

    27. Hey! I like me too! Now there can be both of us who like me! YAY!

    28. He said some pretty sick stuff to me in my blog. I fully back you up, Rose. I CANT STAND HIM. SOMEONE KILL HIM

      Delete
    29. Not "Sick stuff".

      "Art" is more like it.

      Delete
    30. Art? Well I'm not that pretty, you could have picked something better to work with.

      Delete
    31. But twas the reason why I should pick you, to "pretty" you up.

      Delete
    32. Your "art" is unappreciated. So why don't you do what most unappreciated artists do and DIE?

      Delete
    33. Sanna, would you mind sharing for the class what kind of nightmares running into two proxies and a violent psychopath would give you?

      Delete
  5. From what I had gathered, this Arkady, is invading Proxy bases in order to catch IT's attention. In my opinion, that strategy stinks, because, of course I can not be certain, but I am pretty sure that IT doesn't give two shits about IT's servants. No offense.

    Then again, I have nothing against this guy blowing away a good dozen of proxies. But to be honest, he isn't doing much, all this proxy slaughter isn't anything new.
