♦Topic: I met the Ward Lazarus today when she came into my work!

Posted on January 28, 2011:
I work at the DD down on Lord street and guess who came in at ass-o-clock, none other than the newest ward Lazarus!! (Edit: I've been told that she might not be a Ward anymore, but idk she didn't tell me anything about that)
Proof:
IMAGE REMOVED
She seemed pretty tired and out of it, and who could blame her after getting doxxed like that? She didn't say anything about it, just sat down in a corner to wait for her friend to show up. I gave her a blueberry muffin and had to clean up some crumbs she left, apparently Lazarus doesn't like blueberries, someone go edit her wiki page.
Still, probably my best night of work yet. Last time a hero came to my store was when Glory Girl came through the drive-thru for coffee and my manager had to tell her we can't take walk-ups. I wasn't even there for that, but my friend tells me it was amazing.

Better question, what was Lazarus doing at a Dunkin Donuts the same night she got unmasked? Who was she meeting? Do we know yet who posted that site? My gut says Empire.

I dunno, Empire's never really done anything this big before. They're practically a community support group around here.

Someone in another thread says that Lazarus isn't a Ward anymore, she was seen escaping out of a PRT truck by just busting a hole in the top of it. Not Ward behavior for sure.
► Theorizer
Replied on January 29, 2011:
Sounds like someone escaped from protective custody. Think she's going to take revenge with that invisible minion? *shivers* I wouldn't want that after me

I mean just look at this guy's pic I ripped from Medhall's site before it crashed:
[Image description: Pictured from the waist up, a white man in his mid-thirties with dirty blond hair cut short and bright blue eyes that are beginning to wrinkle at the corners. He is smiling blandly, mouth closed. He is wearing a black suit, white shirt, and blue and gold tie.]

♦Topic: Master thread for the Empire Blowup
In: Boards ► Places ► America ► Brockton Bay
Bagrat (Original Poster) (The Guy In The Know)
Posted on January 29, 2011:
Since there's like ten OOTL threads going around right now, I figure I'll try to sort some things out for people.
This began late Thursday, 1/27/11, when some unnamed source (which is strongly believed to actually be E88), outed the civilian ID of a new Brockton Bay Ward, Lazarus. I can't link the leak site, because I like my account un-banned, but rest assured it's out there. They did this because, they said, she outed their IDs leading to the PRT capturing a bunch of their capes (see this press release) and killing one (oops). The PRT and Protectorate have since pushed back on that claim with their own evidence, and while the video is clearly edited it seems like the official story holds the most water. Still we all like a juicy conspiracy, and who's to say what's true?
Reports have Lazarus herself splitting off from the PRT, possibly protective custody. This post tells us (with removed photo evidence, but it was legit while it was up) Laz stopped into a Dunkin to meet with a friend.
Info from captured gangbangers says that Kaiser died during the battle that caused this damage to Captain's Hill, a popular local park. Yeah, we still aren't sure what the fuck did that. After Captain's Hill, Lazarus and the PRT have gone dark.
EDIT 1: PRT statement tl;dr: "We're coming down like a sack of hammers on the Empire." The PRT have released the civilian IDs of most of the remaining Empire capes, including Kaiser himself… bit late on that one. This statement was also the first time anyone heard that the Empire went after Lazarus's father, no word yet on how that turned out. We can assume badly.
EDIT 2: Lazarus has officially gone rogue to clean up the E88 herself. A PRT rep here severs ties with her, while confirming that she's the one who fucked up the Hill. This post here shows her using some big-ass telekinesis to demo an entire building, while capturing Stormtiger. Someone got this girl an upgrade.
EDIT 3: "Alternative sources" here, of dubious reliability, tell us that Lazarus's dad was killed and she's on a revenge kick. Before it got locked, the consensus of the thread seemed to be 'good riddance' to the neo-Nazis.

This is really fucking stupid, though. Someone else said it earlier and I'll bring it up again, this is a clusterfuck they'll spend months if not years sorting out. Did we ever even get proof that it was E88 who put up that site? Or have we moved on from that already?
► Quickreader
Replied on January 29, 2011:
Shit's happening too fast man, keep up. The site is soooo last week.
► Asksquestions
Replied on January 29, 2011:
So… are we just ignoring the fact that her power is completely different now? Before she just had a minion to do her bidding, now she has telekinesis and no minion? Why the fuck are we even still assuming this is the same parahuman? And if she is… hello Mord Nag 2.0 please don't eat me.
► Photoshopshill
Replied on January 29, 2011:
Same parahuman, probably. Refer to the leak site for details on her real power (tldr minion is invisble) and then rewatch the video where she destroys that building. You can see it crumbling around a very big shape, likely a powered-up invisible minion. Her floating = another minion. Stormtiger suddenly knocking out = another minion.
► Asksquestions
Replied on January 29, 2011:
Alright, I can buy that. But how???? Was she just holding back before? I mean the video where the E88 attacked a prisoner transport doesn't show us that she has multiple gigantic minions

You mean you could actually see something in that video? It was just blackness for me. Smh these cape fights don't set up proper lighting first.
► Thoughtfilly
Replied on January 30, 2011:
Yeah, it does raise some questions about who was lying to who… did she lie to her bosses or did they lie to us? Or put it another way, does she have hidden motives, or does the PRT?

Latest movement on the Lazarus crusade, sounds like she got Krieg. My friend saw it happen and sent me these pics:
[Image Description: A four-storey beige office building with wall-to-wall windows that start from two feet off the floor and go all the way to the ceiling. One of the windows on the third floor is conspicuously shattered, showing darkness instead of a reflection of the sky. Hovering in front of the broken window is a thin figure in a dark hooded sweatshirt and jeans, hands spread slightly to either side.]
[Image Description: The same figure is slightly closer to the viewer, still floating high in the air and looking down, their face in shadow. Beside them but a few feet away is another person, a man in business attire lying apparently unconscious but still afloat.]
[Image Description: The camera has zoomed out to a wide-angle lens, displaying a street empty except for a PRT truck with its orange emergency light caught in a bright flare, and a light morning fog. The back doors of the truck are open, standing in front of them is the hero Miss Militia. She is in full costume, looking up with her hands on her hips. Above her is the same figure, face half-lit by early morning sunlight; it is the ex-Ward Lazarus. The fog and the sunlight create an optical illusion of light flaring out behind her. One of her hands is extended forward as the unconscious body at her feet is offered to Miss Militia.]
[Image Description: Lazarus is closer to the ground now, her expression angry. Her arms are crossed and her neck and jaw are tense. Miss Militia is more difficult to read because of the mask, but she doesn't seem confrontational. Her weapon is a knife in a sheath by her hip.]

Okay, so Purity came flying in doing her boom boom thing. After about a minute, two other people came flying up, although they were harder to see because they don't glow like Purity does. I'm like 80% sure that one of them was Lazarus, I got a look at the faces and she wasn't wearing a mask, plus she had the right hair. Don't know who the other one was, that one had a mask and a purple and black costume.
They talked for about a minute, then they both flew away. I spent the whole time wishing for some super-hearing powers, couldn't tell what they were saying. Nobody killed or even punched anybody though.

Replied on January 31, 2011:
Did you see why Lazarus chose to Purity go? Shes been capturing every other Nazi she finds.

Another post from Bagrat said that word is Purity split off from E88 a while ago… this sounds like good support for that.
► Scottyz
Replied on January 31, 2011:
Yeah, or Lazarus just didn't want to fuck with Purity. Purity soloed Lung and Oni Lee before. Which sounds more likely. reformed Nazi or the zombie didn't want to fuck with the Legend knock-off?

Bad news, if Lazarus can lift herself in the air it's a good bet she can lift someone else with her. Cape doesn't have to have their own flying powers.

Clockblocker *New Message*: Hey Laz... I know this isn't the most secure way to contact you, but the other method we were using isn't working any more. Vista told me she was messaging u on here, its better than nothing right
Things back here are pretty shit, we arent even allowed to patrol without a protectorate hero with us. Vista got talked at about not stopping you when you escaped, I think if her powers werent mantoned then she would have stretched Renick. Miss piggy assigned us all extra classes, which is bs.
finally got to see what you did to the hill in person. fucking scary, dude. glad you're on our side. See ya around
Clockblocker: I can't
Clockblocker: shit, sorry, didn't mean to send that. Ignore it pls
Clockblocker: Guess who tf showed up? I'll give u a hundred guesses and u still won't get it right
Clockblocker: Fucking ALEXANDRIA
Clockblocker: Vista almost passed out when we met her.
Vista *New Message*: It was really shitty of you to leave like that. I know we aren't really good friends yet, but I thought we were getting there. I thought you knew that I would have helped you.
Don't blame Gallant. He's was trying his best to do what he thought was right, we all make mistakes. You should come back, I don't want to be the only girl on the team.
How did you know, btw? You just suddenly tensed up in the van.
Vista: I'm so sorry. Taylor please come back. You shouldn't be alone for this.
Vista: Did you get Gallant's message?
Vista: Don't believe Clockblocker, I did not pass out.
Gallant *New Message*: I'm sorry, Lazarus. Piggot told me not to say anything, and she was standing right there. I couldn't think of a way to pass it along in code. I didn't want you to hear it like that, over the radio, I just wanted you to be safe. And your dad to be safe. He wouldn't want you to risk yourself for him, would he?
Gallant: It's not your fault. None of this was your fault. I hope you read this, Taylor.
Aegis *New Message*: Clock told me you probably weren't checking your messages here, but just in case...
Taylor, nobody blames you for what happened. It wasn't your fault, it was just an unwinnable situation. Whenever you're ready to come back, we'll be ready to throw you a welcome home party.
Hope to see you soon,
Aegis
Miss Militia *New Message*: The Wards tell me that you haven't responded to their messages and might not even be reading them. I hope that you are. I've been alone in the world before, cut off from everything I knew, and it's not a place I'd wish on anyone.
This isn't a ploy to get you to come back, I just thought you might appreciate an update. The Wards are doing as well as can be expected, especially under the close guard they've had to deal with. The therapist came in (you never got to meet her, did you? She's very good) and after a session with Clockblocker let me know that something was bothering him. After only minimal prompting he shared with me the message he gave you. We're working on getting him to believe that no blame rests on his shoulders. A message from you would probably help him a lot.
Aegis similarly feels that he failed as a leader, because you didn't trust him or the other heroes to back you up. They are all working on healing. I hope you are as well. I hope you are among friends.
I never asked you about the problems that led up to your trigger event, and I should have. I never wanted you to think I didn't care, but I didn't want to push you and make you uncomfortable. I was afraid that you might leave and set out on your own. That strikes me as a little ironic now.
I'm sorry for any pain I caused you. I hope you'll find a way to come back.
Sincerely,
Miss Militia
