Shogunate,

I wish to report that Jesse Zalatan of the Trouble Shooters has been
penetrated by Tae Min Hong while the bells were ringing to signal the
tenth hour of the day. Apparently, Jesse wanted to go to class, and had
approached Tae who was strategically located at the back-gate waiting for
his "sneaky" exit. We made eye-contact and in a moment he ran for his
life. I chased after letting loose one shot as a warning to indicate that
his end was coming. He may have shot to ward me off, but no matter. We
ran by the side of New Quincy, riding the building, and he made a cut to
the front gate. He ran for the exit only to be met by Davesh Maulik. He
was desperately looking for a way out. As a last ditch effort, he tried
to run around the bush to head back to the back gate. Seeing my target in
motion, I had put my analytical skills to use. I grasped his movements
and anticipated his next step. In a second, he was shot with two darts.
He made a valient effort to escape his death. We can only thank the
naked-spirits that there wasn't enough time for him to strip down.

HONG Tae Min

Honorable Shogunate,

I regret to inform you that I have been eliminated. My death resulted
from the dedication of my stalkers as well as incredible incompetence on
my part. I awoke this morning in my usual daze. Half-asleep, I noticed
that someone had posted on the rumor board that Davesh was staking out the
front gates. However, this failed to register. Instead, I had guessed
the previous night that the Penetrators would attempt to ambush me at
lunch, so I continued with my plan to make a quiet exit this morning with
considerable firepower hidden in my backpack, and a smaller weapon in my
hand. My plan was to make them think I was still poorly armed, and force
a showdown at lunch at which point I would whip out the powerful weaponry
and disintegrate them.

I walked blithely through the courtyard at 9:55 am, still not quite awake,
thinking to exit towards Leverett. At the gate, I stopped. A residue of
evil hung in the air - and then I saw him. Clad in a long black coat, the
source of the evil sensation stood in the street with his guns ready.
Tae of the Penetrators. He moved towards me, and since my powerful
weaponry was hidden away in my backpack, I turned and ran. I bolted up
the side of New Quincy at an incredible speed, swung left and soared over
the benches to drop to the grass, and continued my mad dash to the front
gate. I knew I could outrun the Penetrator, but here I made a fatal
error. Instead of breaking for the dining hall, where I could have
prepared my weaponry and disintegrated the evildoers where they stood, I
turned for the main gate. Then I felt a second sensation of evil, and as
I looked more closely, I sighted the cause - Davesh covering the front
gate with his own weapons. I slowed, and Tae continued to approach from
behind me. No time to change weapons. I would have to try to dodge back
around Tae, but as I moved to circle around the grass in the courtyard,
Tae fired and put an end to my once glorious existence.
