Chapter eighteen o' th' Kurgens journal

Whilst oan mah wey tae pick up some gear ah heard acry fae Clarissa 'n' rushed aff tae check it oot, ah fun her driver deid fae a gunshot wound 'n' her trailer wis bein' drien aff at heich speed. Ah climbed oan th' naurby bike 'n' rode aff aftre her 'n' despite th' drivers best efforts ah caught up in na time. Whit a pumpin' hero a'm! thought "what th' fuck" 'n' did th' identical, ah pulled up richt nest tae th' RV'n' jumpt fae mah bike onto th' back, bugger me if ah didnae mak' it!

While on my way to get some drugs I heard a cry from Clarissa and rushed off to check it out. I found her driver dead from a gunshot wound and her trailer was being driven off at high speed. I climbed on the nearby bike and rode off after her and despite the drivers best efforts I caught up in no time. What a hero I am! I pulled up right next to the RV and jumped from my bike onto the back, and I made it!

Ah yanked th' rear door open tae fin' some maggot in th' back rv haudin' Clarissa at gunpoint, he teuk a shot at me bit, bein' a fuckwit missed entirely, he then tried tae friten me aff by threatening Clarissa. Ah coudnae be bothered wi' chit blether sae ah pulled oot a powerdisc 'n' threw it, unfortunately th' RV mist hae skelp a dunt o' something fur it missed th' creep 'n' tore straecht thro' Clarissa's chest - opps! She died instantly o' coorse 'n' huvin fucked hings up a bawherr ah turned mah attention tae th' guy wi' th' gun. Ah gave him a guid choice die at mah hauns or throw his-sel oot o' th' rv. He chose wisely.

I pulled the rear door open to find someone in the back of the RV holding Clarissa at gunpoint. He took a shot at me but missed. He then tried to scare me off by threatening Clarissa. I could not be bothered with talking so I pulled out a power disk and threw it. Unfortunately the RV must have hit a bump or something for it missed the creep and tore straight through Clarissa's chest - oops! She died instantly of course and having messed things up a bit I turned my attention to the guy with the gun. I gave him a choice, die at my hands or throw himself from the RV. He chose wisely

Ah made mah wey thro' th' motor tae whaur th' driver wis 'n' tellt him tae halt, he did, then ah administered some coporal punishment oan his bahookie, namely beating him wi`in an inch o' his sorry lee. Ah wis aye pounding oan him whin th' rest o' Deadzone caught up. I' stopped th' kidnapping bit murdurred th' kidnapee does that qualify as a mission fail? Answers oan a postcard please. Anyway we a' heid back tae th' picture set 'n' hae tae tak' th' verbal abuse that ensues fae th' guider "oh mah starn is deid, whit hae ye dane etc, etc" ah thought ah juist did Mort a favour as this piece o' jobby shaw wouldn't be oan th' air fur a while! Sae efter pumpin' aboot fur a day 'n' a hlaf we finally decide tae git back oan wi' th' mission, whitevur th' bugger that wis a' aboot, by this time i'v injected sae muckle jobby intae mah veis that mah heid is whirlin` 'n' ah dinnae even ken th' time o' day!

I made my way through the van to where the driver was and told him to stop. He did, then I administered some corporal punishment on his behind, namely beating him to within an inch of his sorry life. I was still pounding on him when the rest of Dead Zone caught up. I had stopped the kidnapping but killed the kidnapee. Does that quality as a mission fail? Answers on a postcard please. Anyway we headed back to the picture set and had to take the verbal abuse that ensued from the director "Oh my star is dead, what have you done, etc, etc". I thought I just did Mort a favour as this piece of crap show would not be on the air for a while! So after messing about for a day and a half we finally decided to get back on with the mission, whatever that was about. By this time I had injected so much stuff into my veins that my head was spinning and I did not even know the time of day!

Anyway Brandon (who th' bugger is this clown anyway?) tells us he noo wants tae dae a nicht shoot 'n' Deadzone, in thair inifinte pumpin' knowledge and that, cop this is as guid a time as ony tae break intae th' labs 'n' git th' "Drayton" data stuff; ah thought "Drayton" wis that freish waashin powder, richt? Ye ken: "keep yer whites whites 'n' yer colours bright!" Efter oan we're a' ben th' Karma labs offices tae hae a keek aroond. Deadzone proceed at thair usual snail nailed tae a piece-of-wood pace 'n' check oot th' layoot, cctv's elevators, stairs a' that jobby. Yer maw cares, a' offices ur th' identical in mah opinion - boring! Thare wis some o' stuff happening bit ah forgoat maist o' it sae lets fleet tae th' future tae th' guid stuff 'n' whin ah say guid ah mean "mediocre"

Anyway Brandon (who is this clown anyway?) tells us he now wants to do a night shoot and Dead Zone, in their infinite wisdom and all that, felt that is as good a time as any to break into the lab and get the Drayton stuff. I thought "Drayton" that was a new washing powder, right? You can "keep your whites white and your colours bright!" Later on we were in the Karma Labs offices to have a look around. Dead Zone proceeded at their usual snail "nailed to a piece of wood" pace to check out the layout, CCTV's, elevators, stairs and stuff. Your mother cares, all offices are the same in my opinion - boring! There was some other stuff happening but I forgot most of it so let's fast foward to the future to the good stuff, and when I say good I mean "mediocre".

We'd snuck bygane th' alarms 'n' ither security jobby tae break intae th' labs themselves, ah teuk point whilst Yolo 'n' Felicity cam up mah rear, err that doesn't sound richt, howfur aboot thay snuck in covering mah behind? aye thats better. Th' labs wur stowed oot o' th' sort o' tekky nonsense that ah hate (read haven't git a pumpin' scooby howfur ony o' it works) 'n' Yolo ponced aroond, pressing buttons 'n' yanking knobs whilst Felicity 'n' masell staun watch. At yin point a tae o' guards a'maist stuck thair noses in 'n' ah wis a' duin tae choap thaim aff whin thay traivelt bygane, jammy escape fur thaim ah say!

We had snuck past the alarms and other security stuff to break into the labs themselves. I took point whilst Yolo and Felicity came up my rear, err that does not sound right, how about they snuck in covering my behind? Yes that is better. The labs were filled with the sort of technology nonsense that I hate (read have not got a clue how any of it works) and Yolo ponced around, pressing buttons and yanking knobs while Felicity and myself stood watch. At one point a couple of guards almost stuck their noses in and I was going to chop then in half when they walked past. Lucky escape for them I say!

Yolo teuk forever bit eventually fun th' goods 'n' be we beat oor feet oot o' thare. Och ah a'maist forgot, it seems th' "bad guy" in a' this turned oot tae be yin o' th' doctors that worked thare, weel bugger me! btw whilk yin dae we murdurr again? As pairt o' oor mission wis tae murdurr they responcible anaw thair families Deazone then proceeded tae hae a moral argie as tae howfur we shite thaim. Some weans wur heavy goin sae Duke said explosives wur a "humane" choice, seems a bawherr extreme if ye ask me! Anyway aff he goes tae buy some o' th' hings that gang "boom!" while i wis left alone wi' th' rest o' mah sorry excuse fur a squad. God a'm sae stoogied!

Yolo took forever but eventually found the information and we retreated out of there. Oh I almost forgot, it seems the "bad guy" in all this turned out to be one of the doctors that worked there, I was surprised! By the way, which one do we kill again? As part of our mission was to kill those responsible and their families, Dead Zone then proceded to have a moral argument as to how we waste them. Some children made things difficult so Duke said explosives were a humane choice, seems a bit extreme if you ask me! Anyway, off he goes to buy some of the things that go boom, While I was left alone with the rest of my sorry excuse for a squad. God I am so bored!

Ah waited aroond fur awhile bit ah wis grawin mair 'n' mair restless. Ah decide t heid oot tae th' traitor's hoose masell 'n' finish th' jab, at least by then ah cuid git back tae some killing. Ah bolted fur th' train station 'n' caught th' neist train thro'. A'm sittin` oan th' train noo writing mah journal, th' stations flit bygane mah windae 'n' everything seems sae peaceful...

I waited around for a while but I was growing more and more restless. I decided to head out to the trators house myself and finish the job, at least then I could get back to some killing. I ran to the train station and caught the next train through. I am sitting on the train now writing my journal, the stations flash by my window and everything seems so peaceful...

All things come to an end

I found these journal pages blowing about on the wind. As far as I can tell they are all here. Perhaps I should explain to the readers why they ended up blowing about and why the Kurgen never finished his journal.

Felicity

As the Kurgen reports, we were at karma labs posing as security guards while they filmed for 'it's a Barry Slice'. We had managed to sneak away and find the information we needed to reveal Alice Hughes was the traitor and were waiting for the filming to complete before going to her home so as to not blow our cover. Duke spotted the Kurgen running off while he was outside smoking a feel good. He called him on his communicator and got a very strange reply about chasing someone and definitely not heading for the train station.

Duke suspected the Kurgen had got bored and had decided to go and deal with the traitors without us. Not wanting the Kurgen to mess up another BPN he called the rest of us to warn us. I was unable to slip away quickly so Duke and Yolo took the van and drove off without me. When I managed to get away I flagged down a taxi and ordered the driver to take me to Alice Hughes’s Home. The taxi knew the best route so I was leaning nonchalantly on the front gate when Duke and Yolo arrived. Luckily there was no sign of the Kurgen yet so we picked the locks and snuck into the house. I went upstairs with Yolo while Duke kept watch downstairs. Alice was asleep with her husband and children and were easily dispatched. While doing so we heard a loud explosion from downstairs.

When we went down to investigate it turned out that Duke had hidden the explosives he bought earlier by the front door. When the Kurgen had arrived Duke triggered the explosives to perform a humane execution as the Kurgen ran through the front door.

So the last thing to ever go through the Kurgens mind was his left boot, and I had to pick up the pages of his journal from all over the front lawn. Duke explained that he had got fed up with the Kurgens increasingly irratic behaviour and had decided to remove the problem before he took the whole team with him. We claimed the Kurgen had gone rogue and claimed both the Karma lab BPN and the one Tony Fury retroactively activated for the Kurgen.
