http://www.batteredspleenproductions.com/umbral/joshua/index.php Umbral Intentions is my journey as I deal with the truth about who I am and the forces aligned against me because of it. Thank you. Joshua Gavin Rhoads http://www.batteredspleenproductions.com/umbral/joshua/2014-12-13-13.php Sat, 13 Dec 2014 16:00:00 EST Just when you think it can't get any stranger, it does. Melvin has been combing through the activity of people whom had been under the influence of a Domine. It has been painstaking work, but he has found more people than we originally knew about. They were involved in all sorts of things from stealing for Heidi, to information gathering on people she must have thought were threats, to other jobs we don't really understand as... http://www.batteredspleenproductions.com/umbral/joshua/2014-12-13-13.php rgmale@batteredspleenproductions.com (Robert G.

Melvin, and the rest of us, have been going through the Minnesota O.S.I.R. files. There's reams and reams of them and more that are digital only. We found vague references to a familiar name. By vague I mean we can't figure out why they mention it or what it means. The name is Fauxtein. The references are in board meeting minutes kind of papers. It could be lunch orders but when you look at them it makes no sense... http://www.batteredspleenproductions.com/umbral/joshua/2014-11-8-29.php rgmale@batteredspleenproductions.com (Robert G.

I have a lot to tell you. First up is that the Minnesota branch of the O.S.I.R. has been decimated. Let me start at the beginning now... http://www.batteredspleenproductions.com/umbral/joshua/2014-11-8-22.php rgmale@batteredspleenproductions.com (Robert G.

A telepath to be exact. I have umbral intentions. What does that even mean? It's supposed to mean that I am a terrorist by birth. It means I'm the target of the biggest, most organised, racist apparatus on the planet today. You know it, but sometimes that bigotry part gets lost in the outrage against the indiscriminate murder. There is a war going on. At the same time though as many will point out there isn't. A war requires... http://www.batteredspleenproductions.com/umbral/joshua/2014-11-8-15.php rgmale@batteredspleenproductions.com (Robert G.

It has taken me this long to talk to you because I could not figure out how to work this thing. Where was I? Everything is a nightmare. Josh was captured by the O.S.I.R. and has been murdered by them. Sarah was cut down where she stood. They shot her down like a dog in the street. Jenny and Jack have disappeared. Melvin hasn't... http://www.batteredspleenproductions.com/umbral/joshua/2014-11-8-8.php rgmale@batteredspleenproductions.com (Robert G.

Nothing really to report yet. Sadly these things take a certain number of ruined lives before they can be solved. The authorities aren't having any better luck than we are and they have surveillance and behaviourists, and reams of information on past crimes similar to this. I'd have liked to have more for you, but I don't. I'm going to go get some rest before resuming the hunt. http://www.batteredspleenproductions.com/umbral/joshua/2014-10-4-11.php rgmale@batteredspleenproductions.com (Robert G.

It has been hectic around here and I did nothing. I did not even see if anyone else had the time to write you all something. It's all my lack of doing. Again, please accept my apologies. When is a sniper not a sniper? ... http://www.batteredspleenproductions.com/umbral/joshua/2014-10-4-4.php rgmale@batteredspleenproductions.com (Robert G.

That is rather apt for what I am going to talk about. I told you when I got a chance that I would tell you about Jenny Brumal and Susan D'Amico facing off in Heidi the Domine Maker's lair... http://www.batteredspleenproductions.com/umbral/joshua/2014-9-6-13.php rgmale@batteredspleenproductions.com (Robert G.

All of us took a holiday and went into hiding. That is except for Jack. When Jack wants a break he just leaves his home with a different face. The rest of us stayed inside and took it easy. No work. No troubles. I even got to play Tomb Knights... http://www.batteredspleenproductions.com/umbral/joshua/2014-9-6-6.php rgmale@batteredspleenproductions.com (Robert G.

A couple weeks ago during all of the excitement Mr. Peterson lent Melvin a surveillance drone. A friend of Melvin's operated the drone for him while he coordinated things using it, and hacking systems at the same time. The drone came with a second gift. There's a bit of backstory to it... http://www.batteredspleenproductions.com/umbral/joshua/2014-8-2-30.php rgmale@batteredspleenproductions.com (Robert G. Male)
