What the fuck?

Camo activity has completely stopped. Seriously. I had left it a few days just to make sure.

Absolutely nothing.

What the fuck?

Quick Update

Camo's activity has taken a sharp rise for some reason.

He has attacked a proxy bank, which is bold even by his standards. This attack also involved more people. Typically we have observed him operating alone. I wonder what happened?

Grace.

In the meantime of our travels, we have been asking every proxy we saw if they had either seen a girl by Sanna's description, or a man by Camo's description. In London we saw a girl with an operator symbol on her hoody, maybe just a tiny bit older than Alexandria, so we approached her.

Kyrylo said, "You seen a girl around here about this high," (he indicated) "quite skinny, brown hair, green eyes? Seems to be homeless? Maybe she answers to the name Sanna?"

"Depends who's asking." She put her hand in her pocket. Not so subtle. That is why I always walk around with my hands in my pockets.

Ky: "I am. You blind? I'm Kyrylo Soldatov. This girl, she would be about seventeen, a little Runner girl. Oh, and when I first met her, I carved into her left arm, so she'll have that scar there. You seen her, or what?" (It is a pretty distinctive scar, I would say – a 'K' shape, which I believe was deliberate.)

"You're a proxy? Good enough for me. I'll send word out." She started navigating her phone. "A picture or something would help."

She gave her email address and Kyrylo sent her a photo of Alexandria, must have been from when they first met. From the email, it was apparent that this proxy was called Grace.

Grace said, "Looks like you had her, how'd that go south?"

I almost cringed, because Kyrylo told the truth: "Oh, we weren't allowed to kill her 'cause of her daddy. Besides, it wasn't what I paid for."

G: "If this is something personal, it's gonna cost you. We gotta make money somehow."

This so obvious that it was not our concern; we all know there is a price tag on Alexandria. Kyrylo told her, "We want her alive."

Lyle snickered. "No, you want her alive as a plaything."

It is true that Kyrylo wanted to test out a flamethrower on Alexandria, but I like to be optimistic and think that he just wanted more information. Nonetheless, Kyrylo amended his statement to "I want her alive."

She looked at all of us, obviously wary. Good. You all should be so careful. "You three have money, and something about this stinks. You want our help, you need to do us a favour. OK?"

Ky: "All I asked you, was if you'd seen her. But you seem to want to help us find her. I take that to mean you know her?"

G: "Haven't seen her, but there's a couple of dozen proxies working for me. We can probably find her if she's in London. Besides, I get the feeling you can get us armed. Master knows we need guns out here."

Ky: "Sure. In return, you can have some guns, our muscle, plus I guess your proxies can have a go with Sanna if they want." Sometimes Runners might have access to information other proxies want, see.

She snorted, used her phone to send the word out. "They know better. We'll be in touch when we find her." 

"Think you're better than us, huh? You ain't. You double cross us, and we shoot without question. Insurance aside, thank you for your co-operation, madam." He did the gang symbol, so did I.

We all walked off in our respective directions.

Now, Kyrylo is impatiently trying to get the keyboard off me and jhgrowing more agresssiev by teh secnod so I’ll have to finuhsfi h siu hjidsfb tryr uft ajo WE'RE COMING FOR CAMO AND SANKA! <3 <3 <3

Update

We were almost at a dead end with Camo until we turned to international sources. Now we have a pretty clear picture of where he's been before, across Europe. So maybe we will figure out where he'll go next. Something seemed odd about it until Kyrylo had a look, after which he explained he could see a pattern. Now we don't have a solid identity for Camo. But we do have a classified idea.

That said, our interest has not gone unnoticed by him. It seems to make him all the more hostile. I have not tracked him having any contact with anyone important here. But we have some leads to follow.

Vladik here. I'm firing this blog back up

to catalog an abnormality. Recently a newcomer in Moscow has come to our attention. A man in a grey camouflage coat, who we've taken to calling Camouflage.

He first appeared on our radar when we planned to strike a proxy base. We arrived to find the base already cleared, then in the distance we saw a man walking in the distance, hands in his pockets, massive gun on his back.

We sent Lisa to go talk to him. Before she could get to him, he had seen her running up and blasted her leg off from the knee downwards, with what we believe to be an anti-materiel rifle. Then he fled. Lisa described the man as having the grey camo coat, and frozen brown eyes.

We've tracked him causing noteworthy damage to proxy operations ever since.

If you know this man, or know his deal, tell me.

ALEXANDRIA LARINA!!!!!!!

ARTSYOM HERE. Up and out of jail. Which I will explain another time because ALEXANDRIA ANSWER YOUR PHONE RIGHT FUCKING NOW BITCH. DON'T MAKE ME DO SOMETHING I'LL REGRET. YOU HAVE NO GODDAMN IDEA WHAT YOU'VE GOTTEN YOURSELF INTO. YOU ARE A FUCKING AIRHEAD, I SHOULD HAVE NEVER LET YOU GO, I SHOULD HAVE CHAINED YOU TO THE FUCKING RADIATOR. IN FACT, I WILL DO THAT WHEN I GET TO YOU. I'M OUTSIDE THE BUILDING. WHY IS YOUR HIDEOUT SO CLOSE TO WHERE DIMIR LIVES? OH WAIT, BECAUSE YOU'RE A STUPID WHORE.

I BUSTED MY ASS TRYING TO SAVE YOU. BEFORE YOUR MOTHER WALKED OUT ON ME, I BUSTED MY ASS TRYING TO FEED YOU BOTH. YOU OWE ME THIS!!! 

IF YOU SCREAM, I'LL SLICE YOUR FUCKING THROAT OPEN! I'LL DO THE GODDAMN SAME IF YOU EVEN TRY TO FIGHT BACK! AND IF I SEE YOU TRYING TO CALL INCOGNITO OR KELEVRA, I'LL CUT YOUR FUCKING HANDS AND TONGUE OFF!

Fuck.

Vladik posting.

As you know, she told me what was happening and I promised I would not tell anyone else. Given the nature of it, I understand why she would keep it a secret. As it is, she has many factions after her and her condition makes her the worst thing you can be to criminals, servants and other monsters - useful.

She believes she may die. I do not think so. Artyom has entrusted me with her preservation. As I have stated, her condition makes her useful and if she were in the hands of anyone who wished to use it, she would be in for a horrible time, so, I see why she is scared. You cannot see it because you are not here, but I see it. I see the physical and emotional pain it causes her every day, I see how frightened she is. She wants to be comforted but she will not let me or Kyrylo touch her. It reaches a point where I would consider terminating her, but I think Artyom would get to me, inside or outside of prison.

It seems to me, though, that putting her down is the only kind thing I could do for her. Kyrylo, however, takes the optimistic approach and says we will simply have to zero in on the cause. But she will not let us touch her.

We need to find someone she would let near her. We considered her father, but then... quickly ruled it out. Her grandparents live elsewhere and we consider them an option, but we are not sure of how involved they are in the first place.
