Daily Logs 2006 - Present
4/18/13: Manslaughter!
The Scotsman, fresh from his triumph in saving many lives at LAX from a terrorist plot, headed to his new apartment, where he watched a news report by Linda Ross, questioning where the Supers are, in this time of need, and suggesting that they could "step up" and really overcome a lot of the negative stereotypes of supers. Of all the supers, Linda Ross points out, only AlertForce, and particularly Loup Garou, are "putting it on the line" to help. She also reported on a military buildup in Sweden, and questioned the connection between this and the UMI conflict.
The next day, the Scotsman (in his normal form) went to work at his new company. That evening, when he was walking through the parking lot, he was attacked by a large thug/supervillain named Manslaughter Marsdale, who was dressed in a black leather outfit, and wearing two huge sets of brass knuckles. He began the encounter by smashing the hood of a taxi, and stating:
"You're the guy the sent to tear up this company. I'm the guy they sent to tear you up."
Marsdale was mildly surprised when his quarry did not back away, and this momentary surprise gave Dougal O'Fian the moment he needed to pull out his family's ancient war harn from his travel bag, and blast a note that magically transformed him into the warrior spirit of his great great great great great great grandfather, known as "The Scotsman."
Marsdale seemed shocked at this, but regained his composure, and attacked. The Scotsman's mystic shield protected him from the onslaught, and one swipe from the Scotsman's mighty mystic sword felled the attacker.
The Scotsman grabbed a small notebook from Marsdale's pocket, and escaped on his magic steed before the police arrived (but not before they saw him). He later examined the notebook and found the impression of an address on an earlier page, which led him to the CFO of the company he has been hired to take over.
At the close of the adventure, O'Fian was contemplating what to do with his newfound clue...

I WAS NAMED IN A PIECE BY LINDA ROSS. Wow. She likes me. She really, really likes me.
(There is a great deal of sarcasm in Loup's voice as he says this. In the past few months, Ross has done some very negative pieces on supers in general and, I would guess, me in particular. I quote Ross from one of her earlier pieces. "Werewolf sightings on the streets of LA (and in Mexico) can only mean one thing -- that the failed experiment that is super vigilantism is on the rise again.")
