U.O.S. Agent files. Amanda Zak's debriefing after receiving the Dragonforce


Interrogator: "You don't mind if I record this, do you?"
Amanda: "No."
I: "My name is Alexander Scott, of the Universal Order Syndicate. Do you know who they are?"
A: "Yes."
I: "Excellent. Do you mind telling me what happened on Synthesia, Detective Zak?"
A: "You already know what happened."
I: "I need to have my own record, as I'm sure you understand."

Amanda sighs, and a short, pregnant pause follows. After a minute, Amanda begins her tale.

A: "I was investigating a kidnapping case. It took months, but I finally got a real lead. A suspecting holding place for the victims. A small bunker off in the Synthesian woods. Me and a squad went inside. We found the victims. They were all dead, both their arms mutilated. Then everything suddenly went black."
I: "That's when the Cult of the Phoenix caught you?"
A: "Yeah. When I woke up, I was laying on some kind of table, my arms were chained to the wall."
I: "What were they wearing?"
A: "Cloaks. They were black, with blood stained all over them. I think from the victims. And they were hoods over their faces. And masks. I think they were designed to look like embers."
I: "What happened after they caught you?"
A: "They had me tied up, and kept saying I was 'special' "
I: "Any idea why they would think that"
A: "No."
I: "Alright. Please continue."
A: "They dragged me, with the table, to a room. It had these weird runes all over the place. It felt hot."
I: "... And?"
A: "Look. Can we take a break? I need some time."
I: "Of course. I will be back in an hour, Detective."


There's a pause in the recording. Then a scuffle, a door opening with a creak, and closing with a small slam. The sound of metal scraping against the floor as a chair is pulled back.

I: "Hello again, Detective."
A: "Hey."
I: "Are you feeling better?"
A: "Yeah."
I: "Are you ready to continue?"
A: "Yeah."
I: Excellent. We left off-"
A: "I know where we left off. I was in the room. They rubbed this weird, thick liquid on my arms. It stung a lot. Then they chanted, looking up at the roof. The roof had a weird drawing of a Phoenix on it, and some guy on fire behind it. Then they stopped chanting after a minute or two. They brought down this glowing dagger and..."
I: "Do you need more time?"
A: "No. I'm fine. They cut into my right arm. It burned a lot. Like I was being stabbed with molten lava. Then they carved. I didn't die, somehow. But I couldn't black out. I was stuck feeling every inch of the blade cut into my !@#$ flesh."
I: "When they finished, did they ask something?"
A: "Yeah... They did, actually."
I: "What did they ask?"
A: "Asked me to be their champion. Said I was cleansed through the flames of Hynar, and free to enforce his will with his gift."
I: "His gift meaning the Dragonforce."
A: "I guess."
I: "How does it work?"

There is a short pause, and a sudden crackle is heard for a minute, then it slowly fades out.

I: "And the fire, it comes from the carving? How hot can it get?"
A: "Yes and I don't know."
I: "I see. Thank you."

There is another pause as the sounds of a pencil writing on paper is heard.

I: "What happened when they asked you that?"
A: "I got mad. Really mad... It goes fuzzy after that. I remember being outside, and someone telling me that I burned down the building, and the bodies couldn't be found. I think I literally burnt them to a crisp.*
I: "I see. Well Detective, as you know, I work for the Syndicate. And I'm here to make you an offer."
A: "What is it?"
I: "How would you like to use your powers to protect the Universe?"

The recording stops here.

Re: U.O.S. Agent files. Amanda Zak's debriefing after receiving the Dragonforce


It is not a bad story, really, but it reads like a play script, more than a story to me. There is no descriptions of the area. I picture someone sitting in a chair, talking to another person, with a tape recorder on.

That's the exact setting I wanted to portray. It's a typical interrogation room.
