Riot's Investigation Jan 8th, 2220
Anyone who was at the scene (by which I mean any player who was there) can probably give you a summary of what happened. There weren't any video cameras taking footage until late in the fight so the visuals that you'd be able to get from the news or other sources are spotty. If Repliforce was taping or recording anything I don't know - ask Prismatic Spider directly, since he'd be visible in the news footage.
Police were present pretty much the entire time. They escorted Alouette to a small psychiatric facility. They probably intended to at least audio-record her session, but it never got this far. Dr. Regal was slightly late and Ciel was right on time. When Dr. Regal arrived he had an assisstant with him who gave out what turned out to be a false name. The two men, and Ciel, talked to Alouette and looked at her records. When they were brought in to the back room and out of the immediate sight of the guards, something happened -- people are sketchy on this uniformly, but assumedly the girl was grabbed, the back window of the building broke. A suspicious van was out back in idle that turned out to be stolen. There was a bit of chaos and Repliforce showed up on scene. Prismatic Spider seemed to automatically know that the 'assisstant' was really Gemini Man. Some kind of switch was made... details are fuzzy here too, but there was a false Alouette in play either due to Gemini or Daryn Luna, who was also spotted near the van, using holograms to mimic Alouette. Some of the cops, and Hunters, chased the van while others chased Gemini on foot.
Some gunplay occured on the streets that caused Gemini to either purposefully disable his disguise or for it to be disabled. One of the Hunters (I don't know if Innerpeace cops would know Alloy by name, but it was he) was fighting Cut Man who at this point was driving the van. Alloy got the idea to shut off the teleporter grid and made a strong attempt but didn't succeed entirely. Ciel and Dr. Regal managed to escape and were taken in to protection while the fight went on; Ciel had RF guards with her. Prismatic Spider was trying to take Alouette from Gemini as was a larger man of Cantonese descent. From the way the latter man fought and moved, as well as shrugging off laser blasts, he'd be most likely an e-human - the news footage taken in the latter half of the fight is shaky but confirms this. Gemini was using an energy shield rather than a twin and taking as many of these attempts to the shield as he could, but finally handed Alouette off to Daryn. Daryn was disguised as Ciel by this point rather than Alouette, but none of the officers on-scene were fooled by this for very long since they knew Ciel's actual location. Once Daryn hit the teleporters with Alouette everything largely dispersed. The large unknown man set off an explosive device in the street to cover his escape, which seemed to be attached to his sword. A few officers were injured, including one that Gemini blinded to cover his own escape. No officers died.
Prismatic's Explanation
Alloy got some information that Regal, Daryn, and Gemini Man were involved in an operation to kidnap a girl. Based on inferred information, there was a extremely high probability that the girl in question was Alouette. I dispatched to the location with security backup and established contact with the local forces. However, as soon as I had arrived, they attempted to escape with Alouette. Using my contact with Ciel, I was able to keep track of which was the real Alouette, and gave chase to the one being carried by the disguised Gemini Man (The man with Dr. Regal who was carrying Alouette, of course, had to be Gemini Man by the process of elimination, which is how I knew who he was).
I chased them towards the teleporters, repeatedly foiling attempts by Daryn and Cut Man to fool those present with Alouette and Ciel holograms with constant contact with the real ones. I was about to get her back from Gemini Man when Rufus, a Red Dragon Strider, appeared and attacked Gemini Man. It looks like he wanted the girl too. I was going to let him break through the defensive barrier Gemini used, but then he turned and began slaughtering the defensive forces. I was forced to make a choice between protecting the defensive forces (who, while numerous, were certainly not on par with San Angeles' old police force), and retrieving Alouette. I made the choice of more immediate lives being preserved and engaged Rufus in combat.
The fight ended in mutual destruction. I was rendered unconscious when I returned the sword he impaled me with and it exploded, and he vanished. He did, however, reply to my question of why he wanted Alouette with the word 'Family'.
I am in the process of gaining a meeting with the Red Dragon Striders through our Irregular contacts so I can question Wiggin on this.
Alloy's Version
There's not much I can add to Prismatic's story. I rolled a twenty and cracked a frequency Regal, Gemini and Daryn were using. We figured out it was Alouette eventually, and high-tailed it over there. I think I ran into Maddy on the way. I arrived around the back of the place, saw Daryn (as Alouette) and Cut get in the van and got a faceful of exploding blade for my troubles before they took off. I was still too out of it by the time Rufus showed up to do much about him, but he pretended to be a Hunter - Prismatic, make sure Repliforcers are familiar with who /is/ a Hunter, and if they don't know, get them to ask.
Shutting down the teleporters was impossible without killing people already in transit (they need better engineers building these systems) so I tried to redirect the destinations of all the tubes to the FV - would have delivered Daryn right into Repliforce hands, except Techno buggered things up for me. Result: Daryn got away with Alouette.
Assault On Wiggin's Temple
The meeting was apparently unnecessary. Using information from Blues and Hiryu, we tracked down the temple that Wiggin was based in with a squad of Repliforce troops, and assaulted the location.
William was supplemented by a large number of Neo-Arcadians. All of the Guardians except Templar made an appearance, as well as a Biomonster, Mai, and Daryn. Repliforce won, but the victory came at a high cost. Mercurial Mongoose was killed by William Wiggin, and he escaped to plot and fight another day.
Alouette, also named Pureri or 'Prarie', is currently in the custody of Repliforce once again.
