The Actionator Vol I
Field reports from a thinly drawn but ruggedly handsome, world-weary man-of-TV-action who’s fake seen and stage-battled it all. Human Intelligence text; AI imagery.
From the journal of Special Agent Frank Crash:
“Miami. 8/3/86
Siminsky’s goons must have fumbled the transaction. Got messy. The left a flood of blood and motor oil in the boathouse. We believe they’re unaware we placed a tracker on the load. They think they’ll make it to Cuba.”
A fleet of narco-terror submarines charge along a collision course with the Hawaiian islands.
The only man who can stop them? Special Agent Frank Crash.The only problem: He’s suspended from duty after that mess with Rukov.
Known only as “Rukov”, this international villain-for-hire conjured up a storm of active measures against American interests abroad in the 80s.
His fate was never confirmed; he may be the one operator in a million who did net his one last score and disappear on his own terms.
The newspapers called it “The Sunrise Duel of the International Mercenary Kings.”
On May 5, 1990, rival assassins for hire X.O. Yang and “The Toucan” were sent after one another by dueling transnational criminal groups.They met on a rooftop in Caracas to battle hand to hand. What happened next is unclear, though various witnesses claimed to see one or both fall.
No further sighting of either was ever confirmed though both were rumored to continue their careers.
In 1988, American super-spy Felix Charger caused a minor incident at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport when he forced his way into an international arms dealer’s private aircraft, neutralized all hostiles aboard, freed three captive women and escaped with $7m worth of luxury watches from the arms dealer’s collection.
Gulf Coast twins, cops, and moonlighting hitmen, The Drucker Brothers were a powerful force on either side of the law in the early and mid-80s.
As Vice officers, they brought down tens of Sandoval Cartel operators. As hired guns, their victim count is unknown.
Their criminal success was sustained in part because, as law enforcement, they were often tasked with investigating their own crimes.
From the journal of Special Agent Frank Crash:
“Cuba. 8/6/86
Broke a couple toes jumping from the speedboat to Rukov’s superyacht. Was able to get his moll and claim a few hundred bags of cash. R escaped again. Still don’t know how he’s doing it. Don’t YET know.”
The international agent of intrigue known as “Madame Serpent’s Eye” was believed to be most active throughout Europe and Asia in the mid 1970s.
Her most notable feats included escaping a police custody by leaping from the London Bridge into a waiting submersible and single-handedly stopping a garda motorcade to free three prisoners in Dublin.
It was rumored that she retired to the West Indies but still accepted the occasional quiet (and lucrative) job.
From the journal of Special Agent Frank Crash:
“Moscow. 8/8/86
The shop sent me a new tool today. No instructions. As far as I can tell it’s a mini-telescope that also fires some kind of projectile. They didn’t tell me what or which end it comes out of. Thanks, guys.”
