URGENT. This message is for Ms. Ambriose ONLY.
This is Agent Bulldog. We have recovered the stolen communicator, which
appears from our cursory study to be legit. We would like to place it in
your hot little hands as fast as possible in case it is being tracked.
Agent Strafe is on the way to Chur with it. Please respond with a safe
drop-off location near there and I will tell him.
The remainder of Team Bulldog is still at Castle Winterstein trying to figure
out how Chernobog got the thing in the first place. Also they need to slip
out unnoticed, which will be tricky since they went with the high-profile
approach. They are disguised as a new, high-tech crime group called the K
Directive. Frankly, I'm surprised they weren't shot as soon as they opened
their mouths, but Chernobog gets kind of stupid when people have suitcases full
of money.
I must admit, I was pleased they were able to steal the communicator so
easily. During a lull in the evening, Agent Distraction snuck into the
basement using a key-card contraption that Agent Ada whipped up and a pass code
that Agent Hustle pulled out of some poor shmoe's brain. Then, Ada hacked
their computer systems to disable the force fields, Distraction switched the
communicator for a fake, and Strafe zipped on out of there. Go Team
Bulldog! I told you these kids were champs.
Their plan of escape was to have Agent Strafe wire the grounds with explosives,
and then use his teleportation ability to simulate a massive assault, and then
the gang would escape in the confusion. Hopefully, they won't need to try
this until Strafe returns from the drop-off.
The following individuals have been identified at the auction:
Katherine: A tall, statuesque woman
in a low-cut green evening gown and diamond jewelry, Katherine has a charming
smile and luxuriant auburn hair. She is a suspected Ubertech operative
with dealings in corporate espionage.
Katherine is accompanied by at least three people. One is a young Asian
man and one is disguised as an old skinny black man. We have not gotten a
good look at the third, but he appeared to be a male of average height and
build, and may be the pilot of the stealth helicopter Katherine arrived in.
Granny Writhe: A skinny old woman
with her hair tied up in a bun, Granny is delightful and gentle but always seems
to have a scowl on her face. The irises of her eyes are solid black, and
she wears a large bronze ring bearing a black gem carved with a foreboding
sigil.
Imprint:
A broad-shouldered, pale-skinned young man with tangled black hair,
sunken eyes and a trench coat. Imprint is fairly high-ranking within the
Liquidators due to his mutant mind-control powers.
Lash: A lithe young woman with spiky
black hair and a slinky black dress, Lash speaks with a Russian accent.
She is one of the Liquidators; her mutant power involves growing metallic whips
out of her body.
Bounce: A dark-haired boy of about
12, wearing brightly-colored clothing. He speaks with a Russian
accent. He is one of the Liquidators, with the mutant power to surround
himself with a spherical force field and ricochet off of objects.
Purge:
A
pale, skinny woman wearing a black coif and pointed binocular-goggles. She
is wearing some sort of high-tech armor under a black trench coat, resembling a
prototype armor made by Ubertech.
Any information you can send us regarding these individuals would be most
helpful.

This is Ms. Ambriose with critical information for Team Bulldog.
Inform Agent Strafe he is to deliver the rogue communicator to me in the village
of Adliswil just south of Zurich and west of the Zurichsee. I will be
waiting in a small park near the lake. I will have a telescope, binoculars
and some star charts as an amateur astronomer, and a green smart car nearby.
Agent Strafe will be returning with tracking devices to plant on certain dinner
guests (see below).
I will endeavor to find you more information about the other dinner
guests. Here is what I remember about them.
Liquidators: Bounce is friendly and
inquisitive, and not a bad kid, although he is fiercely loyal to his fellow
Liquidators. Lash is hot-blooded and independent and is seeking more
authority within the Liquidators. Imprint is a sullen young man; he
sometimes seems reluctant to follow orders.
Ubertech: Katherine Vander has keen
senses, and has been observed moving faster and seeming to weigh more than most
people. I don't know who the other individuals could be -- Ubertech is a
broad organization and Katherine does not have any particular frequent
associates who match these descriptions.
Granny Writhe: Granny Writhe is a
priestess of the Yellow Sign who has evaded
SAGA for years; she uses magic to
incapacitate her foes. Her organization's stated goal is the destruction
of the known universe. If possible, please plant the provided tracking
device on her person so that we can trace her movements when she leaves the
event (although you should not jeopardize your mission for this objective).
Purge: I know nothing of this individual, and our files are fairly
up-to-date on Chernobog's closest associates. It is possible that she is
also in leagues with Ubertech. Please plant a tracking device on her as
well (again, only if it does not risk the main objectives).
