When we were out trying to track down that black mage hat moogle, we ran into some familiar faces. Well, familiar to me faces. And to some of you out there, too. It was those spies from the Magitek facility, and while there wasn't much I could do with them out in public in a crowded street, but at least I seemed to rain on their vacation, which was pretty fun at least.

Point is, they're still around. Even though we blew up Colonel Eyepatch pretty darn good, he's still trucking along. Much like how those who didn't make it through the fights with the three of them are fine now too. As a matter of fact, they asked how those folks were. By name. But considering whoever it is they're working with had one hundred-percent accurate statues of people I knew from back home? I'm going to say their recon network is good. A little too good. Knowing our names is the least of our problems.

Long story short: They're still around, which means they're probably still spying on us. Keep your eyes peeled.

For the new folks in town: I'm guessing none of that made sense. Someone can probably fill you in.

One last thing: Did anyone actually find any clues regarding that stupid moogle mage?

Marshall Sparks Nevada:

I heard about them. Did they only name the you guys, the ones who ran into them?

Also, from what I heard, the Moogle was hiding in the Continent of Balance. No idea what others found out.

-Ales

[red_planet_blues]

They named Genesis too, who wasn't on my team inside the facility. Cloud was, though.

Oh, so only a whole continent to look through now? I guess that's a little closer than before...

--SN

[umslay]

Marshall Sparks Nevada:

Which Genesis? The one that was in my group was killed away from me, so she might have run into one of those spies.

You sure that guy you fought is still fine? It might be one of those doppelgangers or whatever.

-Ales

[red_planet_blues]

My guess is the one that died, since that's what they were referring to. Asking how they were and all.

That's a good point. Unless I try to knock his head off, I guess there's no way for me to know if he's one of them dopplegangers.

I'd be glad to try and knock his head off either way, you know.

--SN

[thegreatninja]

Those sand blasted grease monkeys! I'm glad I stole from them then!!!

..

That's all.

THE GREAT NINJA YUFFIE!

[red_planet_blues]

Yeah, great, thanks.

But for the record, I mentioned that and they seem pretty ticked about it.

--SN

[thegreatninja]

Snudy Narva?

Yeah.. I didn't ready the whole letter. I got angry part way through. I don't like those guys.

THE GREAT NINJA YUFFIE!

[red_planet_blues]

My initials, you weirdo.

And I actually meant that I mentioned that to their faces.

--SN

[thegreatninja]

Your a weirdo.

Oh? Okay that's cool then... sorta

Why use your initials anyway?

-THE GREAT NINJA YUFFIE

[red_planet_blues]

Because I don't feel the need to write THE AWESOME AND COOL MARSHAL SPARKS NEVADA at the end of ever letter. It'd redundant. People know that fact already.

--SN

[thegreatninja]

It's because you aren't Awesome and Cool.

:p

Beside would you rather I write out my other title?

-THE GREAT NINJA YUFFIE

[red_planet_blues]

No need for you to write out "A Major Pain in the Butt to Sparks Nevada", I'm already aware of that.

--SN

[thegreatninja]

Oh so you are admitting that you are a pain in the butt.

I'm glad

:D

[She reads what she wants.]

Hey, Sparky!

When exactly are they spying us? When we're out of the town? I have to know!

From, Hibiki

PS: How's Mercury?

[red_planet_blues]

Someone in the Empire knows more about me than they possibly should, so for all I know it started before I even got here. So I have no idea when they're doing it. If I catch them within this city, they're going to jail so fast, it'll make their heads spin.

Mercury's fine. Why?

--SN

P.S. - Sparks. Not Sparky.

[nankurunaisa]

If I see them, I'll tell you right away, okay? Stalkers and perverts are the absolute worst kind of people! I can't stand them!

[She's actually adding exclamation points to her letter. Wow.]

I just wanted to know. I think about him sometimes.

[And the rest she just ignores.]

[red_planet_blues]

At least one of them know illusion magic, so good luck with that. But their names are Deweg, Gibbs and Jenni.

You know he stays in a shelter outside, right? Just visit him or something. House A-03.

--SN

[nankurunaisa]

[She'll remember those names, but more importantly:]

We're neighbors? I didn't even notice. I've been living in A-02! I think I always go the other way!

[red_planet_blues]

Way to pay attention. Anyway, he's being a big baby about the snow, so he might not come out.

[nankurunaisa]

That's no problem! I'll come by to visit him! What are his favorite foods?

[red_planet_blues]

Horse foods. You know. Hay, grains, carrots. That sort of thing.

tmw you forget a thread is written

[nankurunaisa]

I know just what to feed him, then! Thanks, Mr. Sparky!

[Apples! Sugar cubes! Unpeeled bananas! We're gonna get ourselves a fat horse, awww ye.]

[holycrows]

Hey Sparks,

Nice to see that you've made new friends. Did you say hi for me? They seem like they would be fun to hangg out with if they aren't killing us. No idea about the moogle, is yours looking fot a hat or something?

-Henry

[red_planet_blues]

[Ugh he doesn't even want to reply to this]

Who said they're my friends? I would have had a shootout with them right then and their if I could have.

My guess is you haven't paid attention to the whole thing with the moogle in a black mage hat, trying to cast weird rituals and brainwash people? I figured that kind of weird stuff was right up you alley.

--SN

[holycrows]

Sparks,

I haven't! I was feeling really sick when everyone went crazy and then last month I was lounging around on the beach. That kinda stuff is up my alley! Though usually I don't like people doing it to my friends like you Sparks. I want to be the one to do it with them nyahaha.

If I see him I'll be sure to put a fireball through his eyes.

-Henry

[red_planet_blues]

[Someone needs to tell him that sarcasm doesn't work over letters.]

I'm flattered. But the plan is to arrest him, interrogate him and find out what the heck this was all about.

--SN

[holycrows]

More of an interrogation man (moogle note: he is waggling his fingers in the air I am not sure what this means.). I'll be sure to only kill him 95% of the way.

-Henry

[This comes a couple of days later-]

[shinrasfinest]

That is grave news indeed, Marshal.

It sounds as if they have been doing their homework, whatever it is that would consist of, considering they didn't have a clue to any of our identities when we first encountered them.

I may go so far as to suggest that the Black Crystals might well have something to do with their accumulation of knowledge about us, though I do hope that a particular theory I heard from another is proven erroneous soon enough. Do we know how many of them were managed to be lifted from the Facility? We may have been chasing one, there could be others.

Whereabouts were these three, and how recently?

~Sephiroth

[red_planet_blues]

Well, they are spies. And I guess not bad ones. Reckon I don't know much about the Black Crystals, so someone else might have to fill us in on that.

This was two weeks ago, in Trano Golsaucia.

--SN

[shinrasfinest]

Performing reconnaissance across different Worlds - different instances of time and space goes a little further than what would be expected from any such intelligence gathering that I'm used to, at the very least.

I do wonder what our Black-Mage moogle friend might have to say about them. Once we're allowed to put questions forwards.

Thank you for the intelligence, Marshal.

~Sephiroth

Re: 100% Unrelated

[2hell_weride]

How's Mercury doing. From a mechanical standpoint.

MarKus

[red_planet_blues]

[Someone else who wants to know about the horse? Sheesh.]

Doing fine. Might bring him in soon for inspection, considering he's never been in snow before.

--SN

[2hell_weride]

[Hey, at least it's for different reasons]

Alright. Find anything swanky out there in your adventures, officer?

[red_planet_blues]

I found that computers here are expensive, the games in Trano Golsaucia are overpriced and that spies are a pain in my neck no matter what world I'm in.

If you're talking about the moogle, though, I sort of came up short on that front.

[iknowtheconsequences]

Marshal:

Sorry I've been out of the way for a little bit. I've heard varying little details of the Magitek Facility incident, so could you tell me what happened there? Both so that I can get caught up to speed, and, so that you can see if the things that happened there are making different kinds of sense now.

Well, the big question is obvious: Do you think the Magitek Facility and that moogle that was controlling you all are connected?

Kaji

[red_planet_blues]

Only if that moogle is working for the Empire. Who knows.

We ran into those three spies in the facility, but only had it out with one of them. Deweg I think his name is. He put up one heck of a fight; Cloud didn't make it out alive, and me and Ashelia only barely did. We won though, and figured Deweg for dead. So either he wasn't, or the Empire can bring people back, or he's one of them dopplegangers.

Did I tell you about those?

--SN

I thought I tagged this with her

[enduringflower]

I'm happy to hear that you are safe. I don't know anything about this Magitek Facility but do you think they know anything about the moogle?

The only clue I found was that he stole sunscreen but I don't know how that helps.

-Yeul

[red_planet_blues]

No idea if they're related or not. The whole moogle thing started after the spies, but there's nothing saying the Empire can't be behind both.

Sunscreen? Why does a moogle need that? They're covered in fur.

--SN

[enduringflower]

I hadn't thought of that...

[Way to confuse her more.]

[red_planet_blues]

Maybe he puts it on his nose or something. Okay, so, sunscreen. At this time of year. Probably means he's headed somewhere south. So that's narrowed us down to only two hemispheres. Great.

--SN

[enduringflower]

Well it was in Esdham. So it would be a place warmer than that?
