Chapter 3: The Recruit


Undershadow awoke early the next morning, only to be met with a message from the Leader:

"Congratulations Undershadow,

Due to outstanding loyalty to the clan, you have been nominated and decided upon as one of the New Rank 4 recruiters, bypassing ranks 2 and 3. I would explain further, but in short: We recently lost a well-respected recruiter, and you have demonsteated an unimaginable will to prove your loyalty. Your new job: Simply find those worthy of a spot in the Golden Blade, and recruit them. You will become a leading agent on future missions, and supply our Rank 1 and 2s with their assignments. Now, get out there and find recruits."

Undershadow was instantly overjoyed. He must've been the first recruit in six years to achieve such a high rank in such a small amount of time. But, one line in particular stood out to him: "We recently losst a well-respeccted recruiter." Undershadow quickly checked his clan list, and scanned through the rank 4 names. Scyne was mysteriously absent.


Jay had only a vague plan to work his way into the Golden Blade ranks. The obvious start was to enable "undercover mode" to get rid of the <Investigative Mod> tag by his name. Where to go from there, he had no idea.
Then, Matt Timmins logged on. He sent a message to Jay as soon as he saw he was online, "Hey man, any luck or ideas yet?"
Jay replied, "Not a clue. Any idea why John chose me in particular for the job?"
Timmins replied quickly, "Well, if they were to know anyone's face, it wouldn't be yours, it would be mine. And, you and I are the two agents most involved in this case. So, you are the obvious candidate."
Then, Jay recieved another message, a long and anonymous message, signed by "The Leader"

"Jay,

I understand we have never met before, and you have no idea who I am. But, a late recruiter of my clan (the Golden Blades) left me with a list of names whom he thought would be proper contacts or members. I have done my own research into you, and found you are an Investigative Moderator. Why he would put you on the list, I have no idea. But, I trusted his judgement for years, and continue to do so now that he has left us. If you would like a meeting with myself, in order for me to explain more, or for you to explain to me how he might've known you, simply send a reply with the words 'Golden Fox.'

-The Leader"

Jay read over it again. Somehow, this opportunity had fallen into his hands by some act of fate. He was meant to be successful in his mission, apparently. But, with one question answered, several more arose. Who was this former recruiter, and how had he known of Jay? Why would he put a moderator on a list of people to be recruited? Jay sent a reply with the code words as he pondered this question. He assumed only time would tell.


Scyne grinned to himself. Everything had come together perfectly. He was so close to finding the secret he had sought for six years. And, to add icing to the cake, he had taken down the Golden Blades clan, destroying half of the secret.
It had been truly amazing, Scyne'* luck. He had learned that an investigative moderator, named Jay, was trying to get inside of Golden Blades, in order to find the leader and get rid of him permanently.
So, Scyne had left behind a list of candidates to be considered for the clan in his absence. Among them, he had listed Jay as the clan'* long time mole inside of Virtue Co.'s ranks, and said that he should be considered for the position of "personal assistant and contact of The Leader."
Scyne only hoped it was enough for Jay to get his name, and get rid of him and the first half of the secret once and for all.

I was amazed how you remained a mod for so long being so inactive while so many others got demodded for being idle... Quite an accomplishment. XD

Durin just told me about the return with a next installment, unfortunately it was three minutes before I had to go to practice. I'll read it when I get back, I hope you haven't lost your touch.

[And I know you haven't, lol.]

By the way, if you didn't realize, I'm Manipulator0, I don't know if you still remember me...
