If you can believe it, the student in the burning building is the high part of my day.

Yesterday, Kyle came to me with a video he found while downloading Ultimate Fighting Challenge off the internet. Seriously, doesn't anyone use the internet for porn anymore? How did that get replaced by UFC and WoW?




The video depicted a red skinned mutant being hunted and then killed in a tropical environment. It's a pretty brutal slaying, spearing the guy through the torso with a barbed shaft. But that's not the part that really bothered Kyle. Turns out he knows the mutant, from back in the days when he got involved in those mutant fighting clubs? That's the one that he saw impaled like a fish on the download.

I took the information into the office yesterday, and as of this afternoon, the FBI has formally launched an investigation. DAD Duncan has specifically requested if we'll provide physical assistance, if they ask for it, during the course of the investigation. Now, here's what they'd determined so far, and why they've green lighted the investigation.

The video is most likely real. The media tech gurus at the Bureau started taking it apart pixel by pixel. So far, they haven't been able to identify the normal indications of special effects or digital manipulation in the feed.

A forensic doctor has confirmed that the reactions and effects of the spear injury are consistant with an attack of that kind, killing the victim by piercing the bottom of the heart and the lungs. According to him, it indicates either luck or someone highly skilled and trained with the weapon. According to our site specialist, the foliage indicts a location most likely either in Central American or the Carribean.

The mutant, know as Rishi to Kyle, has been identified as Rishi Matsuya, a native of Queens, New York. Did some time in juvie, a couple of assault charges. Think angry mutant youth, only bright red and not quick enough to realize that makes him unsuited for a life of anonymous crime. Looks like he smartened up a little the last couple of years, likely when he got involved in this mutant fight club thing. Our scarlet Tyler Durden lives with his girlfriend, who says that he left a week ago, supposedly to check out a new fight club that was starting. She hasn't seem him since. Fortunately, she registered a missing persons with the NYPD, which is how we found him so fast.

As part of the investigation into the underground fighting clubs, the police have a witness named Mike Carter; an ex-Marine who was involved in the fighting rings for a while. He's been providing information on the people running them. According to him, one of the groups that starting hanging around when Kyle was involved had a lot of money, and asked a lot of questions about the different fighters, including Rishi. Some people started to disappear from the clubs around that time as well, one of the reasons Mike went to the cops.

Now, what does a police investigation into the broken group of fighting clubs and this clip have in common, other than some poor red-skinned guy who ended up at the wrong end of a kebab skewer?

That's the banner at the end of the video. The Bureau went digging and came up with a bunch of videos with the same banner. Any of this look familiar to anyone?

The camera adds about ten pounds to Logan's ass.

Whatever this Mojo Enterprises is, they've been involved in the mutant fighting rings, and they are distributing what looks like a reality show style hunt complete with the dead trophies. It's getting fasttracked over into Organized Crime, who are going to run the company, see what kind of hits that they can get on it.

If these guys are dumb enough that the Bureau can dig up a location for them (and criminals are mostly that dumb), Duncan would like advisors along. If they have the ability to capture mutants, it's likely they've got some working for them. Scott, Ororo, the Professor will be getting the call tonight asking for assistance.

We've had the call. Ororo and I will have some initial plans drawn up tonight. Flexible depending on what sort of information gets turned up about the location.
