Everything Is Coming Together — Mysterious Stranger #1

Everything is coming together.

Or at least, that’s what I would like to say. Certain things have come together nicely, for sure, but it’s the loose ends that have me worried. We have our conductors; We have our locomotives, rail cars, and commodities.

It looks like we might even have some passengers in need of transport, now. An unexpected development, but a happy one for sure. If it makes our operation look more legitimate, we might as well incorporate it into the plan.

It’s the Railroaders I’m worried about. Will they be willing to assist the cause?

I expect some of them will arrive in the Centuryverse and simply wish to keep their heads down, plan their rail runs, and earn their Tocium. That’s certainly fine. One can’t blame another for wanting to make their wage and live a happy peaceful life. If that’s what they choose, then that will be their role in this.

All I need is one.

One Railroader unafraid to careen headlong into the nimbus of mystery surrounding our enemy: The Jovian Galactic Empirator.

What a ridiculous title to give oneself.

Galactic Empirator? Empirator isn’t even a word. The mental gymnastics he must have done to decide the power to bend space wasn’t enough — but that he must now also bend the laws of language to call himself something so arrogant and stupid…

But I digress.

The Empirator must be stopped, of course, and I suspect he’s sent his agents to chase after me here in the Modern Century.

I’ve kept my ear to the ground and followed countless leads. All of my reconnaissance points to the Johnson Group Research Foundation being a likely cover for Jovian agents. But who are they? What is their goal? If they’re looking for me, why haven’t they come after me directly, yet? They market themselves as a band of researchers innovating in medical research, but my sources have reported the JGRF may also be linked to a number of disappearances.

And of course, there are rumors of monster sightings in all regions of the map…

I’ve reached the end of what I can do on my own without risking capture. But if I could recruit a Railroader to gather more intel for me? Well, that would completely change things, provided the JGRF doesn’t get to them first.

And now, in anticipation of this journal entry mysteriously exiting my possession, I speak directly to the reader.

I don’t know who you are.

But if you happen to be the Railroader I seek, this information is for your eyes alone:

I’ll await your arrival in the Centuryverse. When the time is right, I’ll give you more information.
