Mission Log #3: The Return of Dr Fright !

This particular case has a very personal interest for me. Thirty years ago when I was "activated" for the first time. Dr. Fright is by far one of the most cunning and mega maniacal villains I have ever faced. He is a master manipulator and criminal genius. The thing about it. He was supposed to have been executed over a year ago. I've heard of stories from other heroes both past and present about villains who have returned from the brink of death. Chasms, explosions, falling to their death with no hope of survival. But he was actually executed in a chair a year ago. Immortality, resistance to energy, the ability to feign death ? How. Or could this be a copy cat who likened the fact that Fright was this idol to them that had to be worshipped?

He started off by having low rent thugs steal electronics from different warehouses. It went on for weeks. Until Justin Credible happened to catch wind of something Shady. It was that "Fit the talent to the task" comment that tipped me off. He stole some of his most recent electronics from Garrison Enterprises. What was he up to ? Fright has always had a thing for machines and technology. I remember that giant robot he had me fight. But back to case at hand.

All the technology that turned up had something to do with wireless interfacing. These gadgets allude me. Justin would know more about that stuff than me. So as we were trying to figure out his scheme Garrison Enterprises was attacked by 3 super powered terrorists. Shake, Rattle, and Roll. They killed 2 of three security officers and a host of other civilians. By the time my team arrived though to handle the situation Rattle and Roll were defused as it were by the security officer that did survive. (Garrison has a penchant for hiring people with extraordinary abilities and talents) When I finally met with the surviving officer (Julio Valdez aka Prodigy) he was blinded by Rattle. While Justin and the UM found shake and our sniper pacified him.

Not with a moment to breathe we had to fly to Fort Dix who was being attacked by 3 more assailants. Prodigy accompanied us since this mission had something to do with his employer. He I found out was a being who possessed magic abilities. Not so familiar with the sword and sorcery thing myself. Fort Dix also had to operatives themselves on staff Iron Wolf and Geist. They assisted us in the mission as well. Seems the three criminals Aegis, Flag and Rushmore were yet another Fright Distraction. We got a stroke of luck though when two of his underlings were discovered trying to escape the base. The villains were an ex-cop who goes by the name of Mithra and his partner, and possible girlfriend Isis. Seems that from my interrogation for both him and and Roll the one thing seemed to be consistent. Fright is going to free them. I don't believe it truthfully. He is such a selfish individual that when he gets what he wants he would have no need for them anymore would he ?

My theory was proven wrong when after a long late night session of brainstorming with my team about what his next move was, that a Con-Air was Hi-Jacked by Dr. Fright where he freed well over 20 Super Criminals. Amongst them, the villains we captured that worked for him. His evil knows no boundaries it seems. Earlier he taunted us on screen with the potential chance that he's selling his information to the highest bidders and then went on screen proving that he has some type of control of the satellite arrays he was going for by blowing up the Saint Louis Arch.

Azalea goes to investigate the plane crash of the Con-Air in Canada . We lost a lot of good men on that plane. A few powered operatives were there Uzziel , A08 and Seeker and escaped with their lives and one injury. Fright is so diabolical he decided to demostrate his hold over th sattelites again by shooting a Lazer Beam at a passenger plane. Thanks to Azaleas quick thinking she saved them.

We found out that his final destination was going to be Garrison Telecommunications Inc. where the laser signal amplifier was most likely going to be located. As Azalea was making her way back to rendevous with us, the rest of us with a welcome addition of previous member Sebastian Psyche went to investigate. As we discovered that there was more to GTI than meets the eye in the subterranean areas of the facility , Shinobi and Prodigy checked the facilties internal security which locked Prodigy out. Azalea arrived and decided to investigate the upstairs where she was attacked by Dr. Fright. One of our heaviest hitters down when we had to be diligent in trying to take him down. Unfortunately we got in each others way. It seems that he succeeded in his task. Among the darkness that was created by Credibles Night Grenades that somehow he was able to teleport 19 criminals in for less than 5 seconds and Teleport out. Though we destroyed his machine it was too late.

It's our duty to track down these criminals, find Dr. Fright and bring them to Justice. With the technology he has at his disposal he could be anywhere at anytime. Who knows what his next caper will be. We'll also have to be on the look out for Garrison. I don't know what his company is doing but from what I saw it can't be good.
