I was having a clear out of my office. Getting rid of old notes and stuff. Drafts of old articles, things like that. Whilst doing so I found a short letter that I had received last week. It was from a friend of mine informing me that a new crew had been started by a criminal called Necromancer. The thing that added some intrigue to this man in particular was his story. He had arrive in America not long ago from a country called Jordan. We believe it's somewhere near the top of Africa.
But with that in mind, I had to met him. At the end of the letter there was a note. It informed me that his English wasn't great so maybe take someone that could help. I instantly thought of someone I know through The Vanguard called Clipsv3. He had Jordan heritage and could speak the language. So off we went to meet the boss of Avantasia [A].
We were meeting him was a restaurant owned by his family. We sat down with him, but before we could do the interview we had to try the food. Clips told me he said something about it being respectful, I just agreed as I hadn't had any lunch that day. Now when I say 'try the food' what we actually did was have a sizeable portion of everything on the menu. I mean everything. It was incredible. After being comfortably, well actually uncomfortably, full we started the interview.

After the interview was done and Clips had finalised translating things for me to write down, we sat there. All three of us looking at each other. Something wasn't right. I couldn't put my finger on it. It seemed like Necromancer knew more than he was saying. And his answer about the structure of the crew got my mind going. Couldn't mention anyone else at the moment? Who else is there? And why not now? What are they waiting for? I think he knew that I was suspicious as he wouldn't make eye contact with me, there out of no one he started shepherding us out of the restaurant, couldn't get us out quick enough, the opposite of how it was when we entered. Something was up for sure. I wonder what...
