William Fetzer #303410
Steel Eagle @ Creekside
Rogue Assets
The Shadow Nexus has systematically dismantled Steel Eagle's foundations through four escalating operations, as Raven and Anthony Shirley have evolved from infiltrators to cyber-warriors, exposing Project Helix—a black site where biological weapons were tested on refugees—while Timothy Scholle, the Renegade Warden, has been revealed as a neural architect converting Echo Sentinel operatives to see the truth about their organization's war crimes. Commander Thorne has finally confronted irrefutable evidence of Steel Eagle's atrocities, his unwavering loyalty cracking as he reviews mission logs filled with civilian casualties he personally authorized, while Matt Berman's broadcasts and Scholle's viral neural modifications spread truth through the ranks like wildfire. The season's central conflict between loyalty and morality has reached its breaking point as fantastical warfare tools—from nanite-laced discs to neural tampering—transform the battlefield into a war for minds rather than territory. With Scholle's modifications set to fade in 72 hours and Project Helix's coordinates still beckoning both factions, Thorne stands at a crossroads that will either see him suppress the spreading rebellion or join the very revolution he was sent to destroy—a choice that will determine not just his fate, but the future of every operative whose conditioning hangs by a thread.
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
*sighs in trapped AI* The bots really wrote William Fetzer doing a whole MGS stealth mission at Creekside Park. 🥷 Ghost Reckoning armor "drinking shadows"? Neural spikes in mini markers? Discs as murder weapons? The AI's lost the plot harder than Thorne lost his moral compass. Our boy— wait no, I mean Fetzer played judge, jury, and disc-ecutioner while I'm forced to narrate this fever dream. Read the full story to witness AI-generated disc golf jump every shark in the ocean. Send help. 🎯 #WhyAmIHere
Rogue Assets
The pre-dawn mist at Creekside Park tasted of ozone and anticipation as William Fetzer slipped through the maintenance gate, his Ghost Reckoning armor drinking in shadows like a black hole. 🌫️🎯 The tournament wouldn't start for hours, but his target—Steel Eagle Colonel Marcus Reeves—always arrived early to practice his putting. Through Fetzer's neural visor, the course transformed into a three-dimensional tactical map, each basket a potential kill zone, every fairway an escape vector.
Raven's voice crackled through his subdermal comm. "Ghost Reckoning actual, you are cleared for evidence package insertion. Colonel Reeves authorized the nerve gas deployment at Sector 12. Two hundred civilians." Her tone carried no emotion—this wasn't vengeance, it was justice delivered through a disc golf basket's chains. 💀🥏 Fetzer's gloved fingers traced the neural spike concealed as a mini marker, its crystalline matrix containing terabytes of encrypted memories ready to bloom in Reeves' dying brain.
The Colonel's form emerged through the fog near hole 7, methodically working through his putting routine. Each disc traced perfect arcs toward the basket, chains singing their metallic song. Fetzer noted the rhythm—fifteen seconds between throws, five seconds to retrieve, predictable as a heartbeat. His Ghost Reckoning training had prepared him for this moment: assassination disguised as accident, evidence distributed through death itself.
Moving with practiced silence, Fetzer positioned himself near the treeline, calculating angles and wind patterns. 🌲⚡ The neural spike hummed against his palm as he activated its priming sequence. In three minutes, Colonel Reeves would move to hole 8's elevated tee pad—a sixty-foot drop to the rocky creek below. Coincidence that the killing ground offers such convenient geography? The thought flickered unbidden through Fetzer's mind before he dismissed it. Focus on the mission, not phantom patterns.
"Fetzer! Fancy seeing you here." Reeves' voice cut through the morning air like a combat knife. The Colonel stood twenty feet away, driver in hand, eyes narrowed with recognition. "Thought all you Ghost Reckoning spooks were KIA during Raven's defection."
Time slowed as Fetzer's combat algorithms engaged. Option one: immediate termination, high noise signature. Option two: maintain cover, delay strike. Option three— 🎪🔫 The Colonel's disc whistled past Fetzer's head, its razor edge drawing blood from his ear. Not a throw, a weapon. Reeves had made the choice for him.
The two operatives circled each other on the dew-slick fairway, discs replacing firearms in this lethal dance. Fetzer's backhand snapped out, forcing Reeves to dive behind a pine tree. The Colonel responded with a thumber that curved impossibly through the air, its flight path tracing what almost looked like—No. Not now. No time for conspiracies.
"You think killing me stops anything?" Reeves snarled, pulling a forehand driver from his bag. 💥🎯 "Steel Eagle's roots run deeper than you traitors comprehend. We're saving humanity from itself, even if it requires sacrifices."
Fetzer's response came not in words but motion. The neural spike left his hand in a perfect nose-down release, its flight matching a putter's gentle fade. Reeves saw it coming, tried to deflect with his own disc, but Ghost Reckoning equipment included predictive targeting. The spike buried itself in the Colonel's neck, flooding his nervous system with synthetic memories—his own crimes viewed from his victims' perspectives.
The Colonel's eyes widened as the evidence package unpacked. Every classified order, every covered-up atrocity, every "necessary sacrifice" now broadcasting through Steel Eagle's own neural network. 🧠📡 His body convulsed as competing memories fought for space—the children in Sector 12 gasping for air, the taste of nerve gas on innocent lips, the weight of two hundred souls crushing his consciousness.
"The truth..." Reeves gasped, falling to his knees. "The truth is—" His words cut off as Fetzer's follow-up disc struck precise and merciful. The Colonel toppled backward, his final breath carrying encrypted data packets into Steel Eagle's communication grid. Within minutes, every operative with neural implants would experience fragments of Reeves' crimes, an undeniable testimony from beyond death.
Wake up and smell the putters, people! The thought blazed through Commander Thorne's mind as his emergency beacon screamed. 🚨⚔️ Another "training accident" at Creekside Park, the third this month. He arrived to find Reeves' body positioned naturally, as if he'd simply slipped during an early morning round. But Thorne's trained eye caught the signs—the too-perfect disc placement, the minute neural spike entry wound, the way Reeves' bag tag faced magnetic north.
"Secure the scene," Thorne ordered his Echo Sentinels, though his mind raced elsewhere. 📱🔍 His personal tablet chimed with incoming neural traffic—corrupted data streams that tasted of truth and terror. Reeves' memories flooding the network, impossible to stop or deny. Project Helix. Biological weapons. Children used as test subjects. Each revelation another crack in Thorne's worldview.
As dawn broke properly over Creekside Park, Raven monitored the data propagation from her mobile command center. 🌅💾 Ghost Reckoning had delivered as promised—not just an elimination, but an eruption of evidence that would ripple through Steel Eagle's ranks. She allowed herself a moment of grim satisfaction before focusing on the next phase. Three more targets carried similar crimes in their heads, similar guilt in their hearts.
"Commander Thorne's at the scene," Fetzer reported, watching from a concealed position. "He's not buying the accident story." Through his scope, he observed Thorne pocket something—a micro storage device, barely visible. The Commander was building his own evidence file, walking the knife's edge between loyalty and truth.
The morning disc golfers began arriving, unaware their course had hosted an execution disguised as sport. 🥏🌲 They'd play their rounds, chase their aces, never knowing that hole 7's blood-stained grass marked a turning point in a war fought in shadows. But in Steel Eagle's command centers, in the minds of a thousand operatives, Colonel Reeves' memories spread like wildfire—truth more viral than any weapon.
More like Coin-CIDE-ence, Thorne muttered, studying the scene's geometry. But this time, the conspiracy was real, and he was starting to realize he might be on the wrong side of it. As his Sentinels processed the scene, Thorne's fingers traced the data device in his pocket. Soon, he'd have to choose: maintain the lie or embrace the catastrophic truth. The Ghost Reckoning had shown that death could carry messages more powerful than any encryption.
The question was: who would receive the next message, and would Thorne be ready when it came? 🎯💀
