NINETEEN_TWENTYFOUR_REPORTS

 

REPORT DATE: FEBRUARY TWENTIETH 20XX (4 Years Ago)

REPORT TYPE: Ongoing

REPORTER: LINCOLN_VOX

LOCATION: CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES

    So, as you folk know, I've been taking a lot of interest in a number of seemingly disconnected eye-witness accounts, police reports, a few articles from some journalists at the time, and positively shit pics (camera's weren't the greatest back then), from the year 1924. All of them seem to paint a picture of some kind of chase starting on the West Coast and ending in a small university town in Massachusetts.

    Now, of course, it's important to make the distinction between active stories of intrigue and societal importance, and things in history that were seemingly lost to time and, well, are just plain interesting. Most reports I put together are the former, sometimes the latter is a good palette cleanser, but what's piqued my curiosity is that these spree killings and weird personal accounts seem to point to whatever happening in this time frame being within both categories. Mental, I know, "history being important to the present!?". I'm blowing your minds right now, go ahead, you can say it. 

    I first became aware of, lets say, "Events Of Oddity" occurring in 1924 about six months ago when I took a trip to the coast to look into corruption regarding Yamamoto Heavy Industry in Los Angeles. Now, I might be a crusader for information freedom and all that jazz, but hey, its Cali, I took the long way back, so sue me. Passing through San Francisco, me and my friends were perusing city archives, talking to oldheads, records keepers, shooting the shit for any tales we could wring out. In our travels, conversing, and liberal bending of B&E rules, we stumbled onto the murder of Bruce Carter III, at the time an active contender in the race for the 4th Congressional District of California. It was brutal, inhuman, the scene, as described, goes as follows: Bruce, in his office, was attacked by a single individual (identified by there only being two sets of bootprints on the floor and certain other early-forensic techniques) who was incredibly strong. His ribs were crushed in, puncturing a lung, spleen, and lacerating his thoracic aora, which are all more than fatal injuries, but the killing blow was his jaw being ripped from his head and his neck snapped. The body was found strung up by piano wire, digging into and cutting his flesh from the weight of his hanging corpse, from the heat piping on the ceiling, his intestines blown out of his body. BRUTAL!

    Now, that alone would be interesting just from the sheer ferocity of it, happening in early 20th century America in a pretty civil city to an up and comer politician. But there's a few interesting background details that raise an eyebrow, such as Bruce being nicknamed "The Fightin' Yank" by his comrades in the first World War, having ended up the only survivor of his unit and shacking up with British infantry to escape the trenches alive. He was no pushover pencilneck, he was a trained soldier, and a pretty big bloke, about six foot two and nearly two-hundred pounds per the autopsy. Someone who could have done this to a man like that would've had to be a similar size, and similar training, perhaps a vendetta from the war? German spy, perhaps? Sending a message?

    In any event, it spooked officials enough to contact a man named Langley Connecticut (cool name) to investigate, a private detective who, interestingly enough, was also a veteran of WWI. Isn't that something? From there, details get blurry, but Langley had a penchant for wearing bulky metal armor, and set off towards Nevada with a man in a red coat in tow. Quirky, right? 

    What if I told you that wasn't armor, and that man was no mere assistant. What if I told you that Langley was the worlds first cyborg (in 1924! Decades before myoelectric prosthetics were pioneered and allowed for low-latency prosthesis' and bionic implants), but that his partner was the famous wild west outlaw 'Scarlet Jack', now identified as John MacClintock? Yeah, the one they made movies out of. 

    I'll update this article as more details become clear and I organize the information in a succinct way, as after they clear San Francisco, the details get fuzzy and scattered, it'll take time to reconstruct what went on. Stay tuned to this page to hear more!
