Topic: The Siberian killed someone!
In: Boards ► Places ► America ► Brockton Bay

As everyone in the Bay has heard, the Siberian has been busy lately. See here and here for posts about her vigilantism.

Here are two videos from this morning at 7:23 and 7:35 AM.

In the first, the Siberian is seen with Bengal (her male counterpart) walking a girl home.

Edit: The girl has been confirmed as Dinah Alcott. She is the Mayor's niece, and was reported missing on the 14th.

The second video takes place a little more than 10 minutes later. The Siberian carries an unconscious man to the boardwalk, pulls out his heart, and then decapitates him. Obligatory warning about graphic violence, if the description didn't get that point across.

Edit: We still have no conclusive proof of the man's identity, but his outfit is the same as the villain Coil's.

I'm conflicted.

I've been following the Siberian's activities ever since she came to Brockton Bay and they've honestly surprised me.

This? This is the sort of thing I was worried about a week ago.

there has to be a connection

I agree. The pattern of attacking trafficers to walking a girl home to killing a guy paints a picture.

What are you talking about?

SHE JUST MURDERED SOMEONE IN PUBLIC!

Ever heard of the judicial system? Or innocent until proven guilty?

With the newest video of Bengal, does anyone else have any guesses as to what his powers are?

The most obvious one is his brute rating.

You don't get gains like that natrually.

I still say his power is 'not getting eaten by the Siberian'

In all fairness, this new video doesn't show him doing much. The leap at the end is super-human (and notice how he damages the road, where the Siberian didn't), but there's nothing more to speculate with.

Not like that first video.

Can he talk? That little girl seems awfully calm about the whole thing.

Not to agree with void, but that does seem odd.

Glenn Chambers finished his first glance of the most interesting thing to happen that morning. The PRT Threat Assessment was already on his desk. He gave it a brief once-over. Brute. Mover. Stranger? The obese man frowned and read more in-depth. Communication via holograms. Unknown if they are visible to other people. The ability to make a life-like simulacrum and swap places with it.

Not bad. Not bad at all.

He played different videos of the same incidents. He could use some work on his body language. The Siberian could teach lessons. She moved with grace and a purpose. Bengal, for all the effort he put into his look, didn't have the strut down right. Still, he'd worked with a lot less.

The question, however, was how the PRT was going to spin it?

A big question. Big enough for the higher ups to want his opinion, despite this not being his area of expertise. This was an 'all hands on deck' situation. He was already well aware of what was going on in Brockton Bay - what with the upcoming trial still topping the headlines. It made for a great story. With the right spin, they could probably more than quadruple the number of villains that wanted to switch sides over the next year. The VERY public murder wasn't good for that.

Glenn frowned. Or was it?

The Siberian was never going to be a hero. She could kill an Endbringer and still would be seen as the killer of Hero. (Not to be confused with Behemoth, the hero-killer.) The unstoppable monster becoming a 'vigilante' was already beyond the PRT's most optimistic projections. Officially, the PRT condemned vigilantes. Unofficially, they subtly helped them. The 'unwritten rules'. The prioritizing of fighting 'real' villains. The reality was that they encouraged vigilantes - to a point.

Today's angst-filled teenager was tomorrow's Protectorate hero, just as long as they didn't cross the line and were willing to learn.

In that regard... the Siberian wasn't a lost cause yet. At least from a PR angle.

Glenn nodded to himself. Now that she wasn't killing 'innocents', he had to admit she certainly had a flare for the dramatic. God, how he'd would've loved to have her join the Protectorate instead of the Slaughterhouse Nine. The nudity would've been an issue, but not an insurmountable one.

He sighed. A lot of people probably wished that was the way things had happened. Hero dying had been... devastating. No time to dwell on what might've been. He had to consider how things could go from here.

First order of business - play up the rescue of the Mayor's niece. No need to mention any powers. Say that she was kidnapped and drugged for political reasons. Stress that the murdered person was a villain who kidnapped children. They would have to issue a gag order so no one could associate Thomas Calvert with the PRT.

After that? Let public opinion work itself out. It would still be a couple of months before she got any capes following her lead. THEY were the ones that the PRT could still pull back from the breech.
