As he prepares to leave Minneapolis, Czuch calls up El Diablo to inform him of his success.

"Ey, Boss, I let the old men loose; the entire Minneapolan infrastructure is being destabilized as we speak." Czuch declares proudly.

"How many old men did you release again?" asks Cybr, who picked up the phone at the same time as El Diablo.

"Enough." Czuch responds, turning on his camera to show the riots running wild in the streets. Cybr hangs up the phone to let Czuch talk to El Diablo, and proceeds to look back at the audio file he's working on. Cybr decides that he's finally removed enough of the Breaulisher's heavy panting to make the rest of Pyarce's transmission actually audible, so he plays it back.

"Alright, Sharp, I have to make this fast, and don't respond, because it's probably being recorded. Whoever this new Target is, he might be more powerful than he looks. He's managed to stand his ground against the Breaulisher with ease, which isn't that odd, but he also doesn't even seem slightly afraid of him. I'll have to talk to you in private about the rest, since this guy seems to be very skilled at listening in on these messages. End transmission." the voice of Pyarce says through the file. Cybr thinks for a moment, and then goes over to the previously broken computer.

info Breaulisher

BREAULISHER: A being which comes from a rare caste of creatures known as "Punishers". Seems incapable of standard communication, but for some reason has a particular passion for stuffed giraffes and computers.

Cybr decides that while he's using this computer, he might as well check to see if his own file has been completed yet.

info Cybr

Target Number 13325, A.K.A. "CYBR". Last sighted: World Crime League headquarters. Reason for Target status: Unauthorized access of database information. Documented elimination attempts: 1. Life status: Alive. Note: Knows about and has looked at this file.

Cybr checks the image on this file, and is surprised to see that it was taken extremely recently. Cybr guesses that Pyarce probably took it during the encounter, and that he just didn't notice. Cybr ponders what else he can look into, and then decides to check something else from Pyarce's file.

info High Eliminator

HIGH ELIMINATOR: The highest-ranking non-authority members of the organization. High Eliminators are deployed whenever a Target proves to be a significant threat to the organization, or if a High Eliminator's skills would be particularly effective at eliminating a specific Target.

info World Crime League

WORLD CRIME LEAGUE: A criminal organization based in Costa Brava. Motives are currently unknown, but due to the presence of multiple Targets in its forces, dismantlement may be necessary.

eject USB

Cybr picks up the thumb drive from the computer and checks to see if any of the files had any additional information, but it seems that this isn't the case for any of the documents Cybr accessed. Cybr thinks again about what other information he should look into, and then gets an idea.

info Target Number 1

Target Number 1, A.K.A. [REDACTED]. Last sighted: There. Reason for Target status: Yes. Documented elimination attempts: 6. Life status: Contained. Note: As long as that computer remains intact, this Target can be considered neutralized.

Cybr decides to try and find a Target who he would be able to get information from, so he decides to see if he can sort his search by specific values.

sort elimination attempts

Target Number 9114, A.K.A. "RESIDENT". Last sighted: There. Reason for Target status: Drawing attention to E.V. and related information; indirectly causing the deaths of numerous organization members, primarily High Eliminator Scouts and basic Eliminators. Documented elimination attempts: 12445. Life status: Gone (finally).

Cybr shakes his head, as he needs to find somebody who he can actually contact in order to find out more about this organization.

next

Target Number 4211, A.K.A. "NIKKU". Last sighted: Last seen near Fibonacci's tomb, but seems to constantly be on the move. Reason for Target status: Has a particularly dangerous reputation; if he obtained organization information, it could be very bad news. Documented elimination attempts: 4211. Life status: Alive. Note: For whatever reason, seems to just be completely impervious to elimination attempts. Best to just give up on this one.

Cybr considers this, but decides that it's not worth trying to track this guy down if he's always on the move.

next

Target Number 6666, A.K.A. "EL DIABLO". Last sighted: World Crime League headquarters. Reason for Target status: Betrayed the organization to form his own criminal organization for unknown reasons. Possesses a large amount of valuable organization information. Has changed his name and appearance several times, but always goes by the same alias. His ability is particularly powerful, making him a very difficult Target to properly deal with. Documented elimination attempts: 2540. Life status: Alive.

"Perfect." Cybr mutters to himself, before ejecting the USB and heading up to where El Diablo is.

"Oh, hello Cybr. Not used to you coming to me about anything, so this is probably important. What is it?" El Diablo asks.

"Can I see your computer?" Cybr requests, and El Diablo raises an eyebrow, but moves aside anyways.

"Eh, sure, but please don't change the operating system this time." El Diablo watches while Cybr inserts the thumb drive, before bringing up the file he accessed about El Diablo.

"Look at this, will you?" Cybr gestures towards the screen, and El Diablo reads over the information.

"Oh, them. Still kinda crazy to me that they're still after me after all this time. Yeah, you know those guys who I keep saying are jehovah's witnesses? Well, they're actually assassins sent by this organization. It's really just a nuisance at worst; I don't know why they haven't upped their game if they care so much about it." El Diablo shrugs.

"Are you saying they've never sent any High Eliminators after you?" Cybr inquires.

"Oh, they have, but not any of the really capable ones. All the ones they've sent have just ended up retreating. Good at killing doesn't always mean good at fighting, and I think they're scared to waste any of their especially powerful guys since they know what I'm capable of." El Diablo responds calmly.

"Hi capable of, I'm Dad!" says Dad.

"Stay out of this, Dad." warns El Diablo, waving for Dad to leave.

"So what exactly was the name of your boss when you worked for these guys?" Cybr asks.

"Er...eh, let me think for a moment, it's really been a while. Nobody ever really called him by his name directly; it was usually just 'Boss'. I think his name was along the lines of...Dabido, maybe? Definitely started with a D, at least." El Diablo explains.

"I'll check just in case. So, if you knew about these guys, why didn't you say anything earlier? Like, when I brought back this computer."

"Didn't seem like a relevant thing to bring up."

"Alright. I'll be back if I have any more questions." Cybr returns to the computer, and does a quick search for "Dabido" just in case, but unsurprisingly finds no results. He also tries "Boss", but once again nothing comes up. Cybr decides to check Pyarce's transmission just in case she's said anything new since he last checked, and finds that the only sounds on the other end are the sounds of traffic, indicating that the communication device was left behind by some road. Cybr pinpoints the exact location of the device as being somewhere to the weast of the Greater Minneapolan Area's border, and calls in Czuch to head to that location.
