The Cause & Effect Team Chapter One It's a dry afternoon, as retired FBI Profiler, John Goodbody is meeting with Dana "ElectroGirl" Larson at an old unused FBI data center. The power is barely hanging on, which is they brought their own power generators. "The data has to be there, history proves that no matter how much forsenic and behavior science advances, the crime rate keeps on rising!", says John. "I know, i know, old man, I'm doing my best to find some solid proof, give me some space, jeez!", says Dana. They keep digging thru old FBI crime archives, trying to visible patterns. What if science is just not enough to really stop crime? "I think I found something, some old charts from 70s, this could be the pay dirt, or get us into real political trouble.", says Dana. "Kiddo, neither of us have any official standing at the moment, so let's see this dirt that you've dug up?" Says John. Dana begins downloading the data to a portable USB key. She's about to take the USB key and put in her vest pocket, when she hears some noises behind her. "You didn't think we wouldn't keep an eye out for this abandoned data center?" says a man in black. As John and Dana turn around they see 3 FBI agents, all wearing sunshades like the movie "Men In Black", holding traditional agency revolvers armed and pointing at them. "John, you may be old, but your no fool. You had to know we wouldn't let the public access old data. So be a good chap, and hand the USB key over, and seriously don't be dumb and try your tricks. " says Agent Maxwell Jones. There are a few reasons, Dana is called ElectroGirl, not just a fan girl of the old tv show called Electro Woman and Dyno Girl. Also a failed FBI candidate, a certifiable hacker. Because of her fandom, she has built these wrist based electricity projectors, nothing like in the comics, but works well enough depending on the situation. She sees that there is some dripping water on the ground, she unleashes a short electro blast, stunning and shocking the men in black. John uses the seconds granted by Dana's actions, to bring out his pistol, and knock down their attemptive captors. Chewing on a cigar, that he never lights up, he says "Dana grab everything and let's scram, before they wake up, ok kiddo?" She gathers their supplies and data and they skidaddle out of the building at a hurried pace. Outside it is late afternoon, they see black unmarked sedan, and their ride an old dilapidated yellow VW bug. Now they have this explosive data but need someone who analyze and summarize it in a way that gives them action steps they can take. Ends Chapter 1 - Digging Old Dirt Can Be Shocking Then John's cellphone rings with an identified number except for a symbol of a black condor. "Hello, who is this and what do you want? I don't like telemarketers!" Yells John. "Greetings indeed, we're not selling but we are interested in making a proposition to you." says in a grim but brisk voice. "We are not buying, thanks and don't call again!," screams John. "You may not survive, without hearing my proposal. You have some hot data that we both can benefit fromf.
