The Hand of Vengeance

A @maxi and @Lewis! event


As humanity struggles to heal in the wake of the Combine's fall, a new breed of terror emerges; roaming bands of deranged Transhumans, driven mad by their severed connection to the Overwatch, the Synthetic horrors trapped within buried deployment Nexi, and the nascent movement of fanatical Ultraloyalists.

These Ultraloyalists, antinomian terrorists, zealots, and devotees of the Combine alike, who thirst insatiably for death and revenge in their relentless pursuit to avenge the annihilation of their dominion and their very livelihood, embark on a global crusade, unleashing a reign of terror upon all who oppose them.

But the pillars of the movement, Civil Protection, the Primary Military Arm, and the oppressive remnants of the Civil Authority, are now rotting corpses, aware of their imminent demise. They grasp the futility of their fight, but their resolve remains unyielding. With grim determination, they vow to drag the world into its own cataclysmic downfall.

Two months ago, a counter-terrorist operation executed by successors of Lambda, lead to the capture of four former Civil Protection Rank Leaders. As the red tape unravels, the trial of those collaborators looms within the halls of the former Palace of Nations, Geneva.

And among them, you stand—a former Rank Leader. Perhaps you had concealed yourself, biding your time in an attempt to escape justice for your actions during the occupation, or maybe you have continued to sow the seeds of terror in the wake of your fallen masters. Now, however, the spectre of justice awaits you.

Joined by your cohorts for a final dinner before the hearing, now is the time to reflect on the choices that brought you here.

<:: But Sir! The war is over, we should surrender and maybe they'll go eas- ::>
A gunshot rings out a deranged maskless cop covered in face tattoos of OBC symbolism holds his magnum while screaming a the corpse- his fellow officers recoiling in shock and fear as he went on.

<:: SUBLUNARY SUBLUNARY DESTORY THEM KILL THE DOGS AND LEAVE NONE! ::>


And so it was done, a workcamp of refugees executed this display of brutally and mindless murder continued until the enemy was at their gates, a horde of freedom fighters, they offered freedom to those who turned in their commanders, Overnight being an RL was a dangerous profession, seeing the writing on the wall Defender-14 [Adrian Colton] attempted to escape to continue his spree else where but was ambushed and captured.

Sat in a cell rotting away awaiting his trial to give closure to the friends and family of the ones he murdered rested Defender-14.​

GENEVA TRIALS
Prosecution Report N067


Name: Eija Väisänen
'Tagline': 'JURY-5', in all cases.

2000-2010
- Raised in a youth indoctrination center. Somewhere in Finland. Claims to have been voluntarily given by own parents at infantile age.
- Enlisted in Civil Protection less than a month into adult citizenship status. Service length: Upward of 15 years.
- Fanatical tendencies. Exhibits a preference to Ravouxist-Transhumanist axiom (proto-CMB doctrine). Appears to have been influenced early into service.
- Estimated murder count during service: 380,00+ (Underaged victims not included.) Attributes upward of 70% to personal doing, 25% to vicarious orders, 5% to unforeseen causes. Claims each and every execution followed the CMB Civil Code. When pressed, admitted to lying, confessed to abusing her authority for the murder of less than a dozen individuals, cited 'personal reasons'.
- Suspected ties to the 'Order of Ravoux', Kyivan chapter ('Xavier March', et al.) Denies all association. The writing's on the wall, but no proof. Prosecution advises dropping the charge.
- No information whatsoever on the next 5 years of service. Practically a ghost. Alleges to have 'departed to a mission between worlds.' Attributed as an attempt for the insanity plea.

2015-2020
- Shows up again in North America. Rank Leadership attained.
- Administrates youth indoctrination camp in Seattle for post-millenium children (the 'final generation' as they were referred.)
- Quickly attains the rank of regional leader, sector leader, then contintental leader of all similar camps. Guided by 'the desire to mold them in her image.'
- Information on policies, methods and crimes remain unavailable.



2020-2030
- Receives Overworld mandate to liquidate all camps in her jurisdiction.
- Follows through, despite being cut off from advisorial oversight & high rate of defection in her garrisons.
- Death toll: 50,000+ underaged individuals. 5,000+ insubordinate officers.
- Current population crisis in NORTH-AMERICA singularly attributable to her command decisions.
- Goes into hiding, following abandonment by Overwatch.
- Trail goes cold.



2042-Present
- Rediscovered in the town of Silver, Nevada. Appears to have been a long time resident. Still went by 'Eija'.
- Basement of house revealed various CMB artifacts, a 'Breen-bust' and multiple Benefactor-ornaments, seemingly used for ritual prayer and animal sacrifice.
- Extraction by local authorities proved difficult. Upon learning of her history, most town inhabitants attempted to kill her on the spot. Some of our men expressed sympathy despite our obligation to fair trial.
- Has been awaiting sentence for upward of six months.


Other notes:
- Subscribes to what she calls 'nouveau-morality'. Exhibits a strong sense of principle, 'virtue,' right-and-wrong. Seems to have justified past and present atrocities this way. Seems to really believe it. May have held consistency once. Currently undermined by her medical condition.
- Diagnosed with Early-Onset-Alzheimer's & Schizoaffective Disorder.

Verdict: Irredeemable. Impossible to reform. High risk of relapse from rehabilitation programs. Prosecution recommends 'Death by Vortigaunt' as the sentence.

"No human court could've delivered the justice that Väisänen deserved. Her and her patrol teams broke down the door of our nu-association home, with my mother and father living there. I hid under the bed whilst she roamed the house and burned centuries of family memories and 'prosecuted' the only people I could trust. Those heirlooms, stories and people protected from war; but not from Väisänen's inhumanity- -"
- Joseph Brown, 'Orphan: Growing Up Alone on Nu-Earth', chapter 13, c. 2060, OUP
ACCEPTED

"I had death threats sent to my home. I never wanted to get involved. My only crime was being hungry at the wrong time. Craving a meal turned into craving survival, and craving survival turned into doing what the commanders told me to. There were eight of us, sent to disrupt the peace wherever we could. I wish I'd taken a step back, considered what I was doing - I could've eased our return to humanity, but I didn't. For that I am sorry."
'QUICK-7' recalls their involvement with Op. Unrepetant whilst in custody. Sometime in the 2030s.
ACCEPTED


THE STAGE IS SET.


THE CRIMINALS WILL FACE THE RETRIBUTION OF THE HUMAN SPECIES.
