I've been living in an abandoned ballroom at a dilapidated amusement park. I've come into contact with an underground community. Their vigor for life amazes me. They spend most of their days reading 1950's sci-fi and skateboarding. The ballroom is next to an old roller coaster called the Jack Rabbit. The property is owned by a minister. No one comes around. At his church, he charges the elderly $10 to cash their social security checks. Meanwhile, he's living in a twenty-room mansion out in the suburbs.

Note from the underground. Something I found. What will be the end of the world What I think will happen to end the world. I think that all the crazy men/women who are in prison will get out. They will do what they did to get in prison. The one that was killing people will kill the people the same way they did whatever they killed then had sex with them or raped them then killed them. The ones that stole the cars would be killing people trying to a away from the cops. Killing cops in the process to. posted by word fingers 4:45:21 PM ///////

Barbados Mission Summary. Day 1 - arrived in Barbados at approx. 6:54 a.m. met Vasquez at airport and proceeded to safe-house. 7:30 a.m. after a brief breakfast, Vasquez gives me the low down. full text follows: "Emo- the situation is critical, several "missionaries" arrive here approx. 2 weeks ago. they seemed harmless enough at first until some friends of mine saw men in black jumpsuits with gold crosses embroidered on the sleeves unloading large, unmarked barrels out of a black van near the clinic the missionaries had come to "oversee". upon further investigation, i found that the barrels contained small firearms, plastic explosives, dried food, and copious ammounts of X. i managed to infiltrate the clinic posing as an average townie seeking salvation. what i uncovered was a cult like atmosphere. several men and women were passing out small cups of juice laced with X while a "preacher" spoke of the evils of America and it's lack of good old-fashioned family values. he went on to sub-consciously suggest to the towns people that it was up to them to renounce their hedonistic ways and join the "New Conquerors for Christ Movement". i played the part of zombie and eventually slipped out of the clinic unnoticed. the situation is dire- one by one, the town is slowly being swallowed by these missionaries. we need to defuse this situation as rapidly as possible." 8:00 a.m. - we begin Project K. posted by Emo * 10:46:46 PM ///////

Slacker X just checked into the VA Hospital in Chillicothe, Ohio. For the sake of the universe, let's hope the right doctors work with him. Most of the time he goes over to the ballfield and watches theChillicothe BlueJackets play baseball. When he's not watching baseball he's reading soviet bloc sci-fi.His favorite writers are from Hungary. A couple of rejects from the Tempest Project have been trying to get a hold of him. posted by word fingers 3:59:59 PM ///////

I've been routing my data through Tokyo for three days now, clean data is good data. My cleaners are loyal and cannot be bought. I met them in '92 when I was doing some freelance encryption for a group of russians who were trying to sell off Saddam's data mines after the Gulf War. I hook my guys in Tokyo up with VHS dubs of Miami Vice...they love that shit. They are fanatical about Crockett, I keep telling them that The Fall Guy is the way to go but they're not buying it. Things have been fairly quiet around here for a few days, which worries me. The christians are stealth, but not like this. Something's going to blow up soon, I can feel it. posted by Eric Frommelt 11:04:13 PM ///////

| I managed to secure some very interesting documents pertaing to a certain church in Indianapolis, which put the final touches on plans to shut it down. This newest development should ensure that the Conquerors for Christ back off Team 360, but I take promises from stool-pigeons with a grain of salt. Crippling their financial backing is going to take more than just shutting down one little church. And working with the courts only gets you so far. posted by Emo * 12:31:54 PM ///////

| It's been a rough couple of days. I decided that waiting around for BAC to make their way to NYC was not conducive to maintaining our NYC stronghold(s). Armed to the teeth and hungry for some anwers, I made my way to the greater Boston area and cashed in a few favors so I could track down some of the BAC operatives. Taneekah crumbled in a matter of minutes. She told me that Cabra sent some bruisers to "deal" with E (it was too late to warn him). E can handle himself so I didn't sweat it, but I did take out some of my frustrations on her pretty little face. Turn the other cheek indeed. posted by Emo * 12:23:29 PM ///////

I just spoke to Slacker X. He was playing the slots at the Belmont Casino, Atlantic City. No high rollers there. Just a bunch of low lifes cashing in disability and welfare checks. It's not their fault. When you're lied to long enough you're bound to become a slave. Get rich, marry a blonde, and retire to Sarasota. That's what they've been saying on the television. He's no good to the cause. He can barely keep himself alive. He talked about heading out west, maybe get a job on a cattle ranch or on an Alaskan fishing boat. I didn't have the heart to tell him the frontier is closed. America is all the same: One Red Lobster, Best Buy, and Wal-Mart after another. posted by word fingers 1:55:45 PM ///////

My grandfather was a Baptist Minister. I have never really known him, only his beliefs. He and my grandmother have separate bedrooms. It has been that way since I can remember. They have never considered divorce. They are often very unhappy. They said they were worried about me when I quit attending church. I think they were more worried about all of my Nietzsche books, and my interest in Buddhism. posted by Emo * 9:38:56 AM ///////

| As the rest of the 360 team knows, I have acquired very important documents pertaining to the leader of the Conquerors For Christ Ministries. Though they are believed to be a harmless Born-Again Christian Organization, I have discovered that within the sect is a team of mercenaries, posing as musicians. They have been systematically carrying out the orders of one Pastor Gabe Cabra, who has been linked to The Tempest Project, and several other questionable "programs". The mercenaries are calling themselves BAC collectively and embarking on various missions across our country. BAC operatives Kenneth, Taneekah, David, Paul, and Eliana are very dangerous and well versed in many forms of martial arts, explosives, and recon. A brief history of BAC follows: BAC Ministries was born out of Conquerors For Christ Ministries, North Dartmouth, MA in the Spring of 1996. By born, I mean that CFC Ministries is the spiritual back bone that helped launch BAC into a ministry itself. It is the vision of Pastor Gabe Cabral who has an undying determination to make sure that young people are wrapped up in the love and message of Jesus Christ. He gave BAC the freedom to praise God in a new way, with music that this generation can relate to. His philosophy is this: The message is the same, but the method has changed. CFC continues to give BAC whole-hearted support in every way possible, and together they are spreading the Gospel to the world. Team members be warned, this little Bio/History is clever propaganda aimed at youths not equipped with our vast knowledge of brain washing techniques. The BAC team recently "performed" in Boston, and there is strong reason to believe that they will be in the NYC area soon. Drastic measures must be taken. posted by Emo * 10:49:57 AM ///////

| Part of my youth was spent at a catholic grade school, where, in addition to learning the stations of the cross, I was introduced to basic phone phreaking by a catholic priest. Father Dave put on a good show, he was young, handsome and could tell a good joke. He also had a strong appetite for whiskey, hockey games (he was a devout Islanders fan), and women (preferably tall and under 30). He had major issues with established government and big business. He especially loathed telecom companies. He felt communication between human beings was a gift from God himself and therefore tools that enabled such communication should be free. I served as an alter boy when I was 11 and when I expressed an interest in computers to Father Dave, he began sharing his knowledge with me. I haven't been the same since. posted by Eric Frommelt 1:08:09 AM ///////

| In my search for the robot, I stumbled on a hideout in chinatown occupied fairly recently by the christians. All I found was a newly constructed encryption module made of plywood, fishing line and wooden spools. If anyone can crack this, it's the robot. The christians have gone analog. It also appears that they're working on some pretty advanced pinball circuitry. Word Fingers is on the case. posted by Eric Frommelt 1:15:43 AM ///////

The package has been taken care of, along with the two goons that were tailing me. Just before I eliminated goon number 2, he told me that operatives are being deployed in Slacker's area. I tried to contact him immediately- I think he got my hurried message, but it might be too late for him. There's no one to trust anymore, and the team is too spread out. E is unreachable and The Robot is knee deep in a mess of his own- at least that's what i gather from the voicemail he left me. I tried to meet him at the specified location, but the shrapnel in my leg needed tending. My favorite pair of Dickies pants are ruined, The Robot is in trouble, and some heads are gonna fucking roll. posted by Emo * 6:42:18 PM ///////
