hey- you alright doc?

i am trying to forget that this is vitaveggie paste,
molded into a pattie shape and served with organic, uncooked vegetables and additional vitamineral
extracts. i am remembering the last time i ate a real
hamburger. i am trying to pretend. (it is not working.)
i am trying to pretend this is a

YEE-AAAH!YEE-AAAH!YEE-AAAH!YEE-AAAH!YEE-AAAH!YEE-AAAH!YEE-AAAH!YEE-AAAH!YEE-AAAH!YEE-AAAH!
WOOOO!WOOOO!WOOOO!WOOOO!WOOOO!WOOOO!WOOOO!WOOOO!WOOOO!WOOOO!
uh....
patrol is the key to everything we do.
THROUGH PATROL WE... huh... MAINTAIN CONSTANT PRESENCE.
CONSTANT VIGILANCE, CONSTANT AWARENESS
OF THE CITY.
MAN... I LOVE THIS PART....
WE ARE AVAILABLE
TO CITIZENS
uh....
...citizens in need.
WE INTIMIDATE THE CRIMINALS THAT LIE IN WAIT.
... DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
right- yeah i knew it was
something like-
now we jump yeah?
YOUR FOOT SPEED HAS... IMPROVED.
BUT YOU STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO BREATHE.
YEAH WELL. I'LL WORK ON THAT.
LOSE THE ATTTITUDE.
IF YOU'RE NOT
TEACHABLE, YOU'RE NO GOOD TO ME.
SORRY BOSS... I'M JUST- hey- you alright?
i mean you sound-
bad- maybe we should pack it in early?
my head is clear. my focus
is right. perhaps if your head wasn't planted so
firmly up your piehole you
would see that.
NOW- FOLLOW.
WE PATROL IN A GRID. MAJOR ROADS MAKE UP THE BORDERS. WE WORK FROM OUTSIDE IN.
PLAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE HOT SPOTS- THEY'LL REQUIRE MORE
TIME.
NOW- CASE IN POINT- TELL ME-
WHAT DO YOU SEE?
i'm fine, how are you? oh- great thanks for asking.
teach me to show concern you
grumpy old-
the freakshow!the freakshow!the freakshow!the freakshow!the freakshow!the freakshow!the freakshow!the freakshow!the freakshow!the freakshow!though they have a love
for the juice and like to fight a bit-
a bunch of wannabe superpunks,
obsessed with electricity and
body customization.
mostly harmless to the general population....
rumor on the street is
they've been buying up a lot of high
tech weaponry.
looks like they're
plotting something.
these guys? come on doc- they're a bunch of pony boys.
these guys are justa
bunch'a neo-retro
punks- they just want to look cool.
trouble ain't their mo.
really? been in the game a few months and already
an expert, huh?
every heard of
the "broken
windows" theory,
kid?
-mostly with each
other.
i read a write up about them
in the paragon times.
you know- the sunday magazine-
it's real nice.
sources tell me they're
planning a highjack-
military grade cybernetics.
we're here for a
pre-emptive.
whoa- wait- can we
do that?
they haven't done
anything yet.
"yet" being
the operative
word here.
no, but i imagine
you're gonna tell me.
should i take
notes?
the cops weren't making a
difference. civilians lived
in constant fear.
in the late 80s, crime was out of control in new
york city. things had reached the breaking point.
the city leaders started doing
research- looking for something- anything
to turn the tide.
they referred to the results of their
research as the "broken windows" theory.
you see- criminal behavior is typically a
learned behavior.
the same kids breaking windows and stealing lunch money at age 10
turn into the next generation of drug
dealers and gangsters.
that is- unless someone takes action from the very beginning.
the city fathers
figured if they started
strictly enforcing lesser
infractions....
things like broken
windows and jaywalking...
they might have a shot at
curtailing tomorrow's
criminals before they get too far
gone.
you see kid- organized society cannot tolerate
anarchy.
it's the most contagious
social disease their is.
standards- laws- rules- lead to peace, harmony and
righteousness.
no right-minded person wants to make a hell out
of earth.
but these... punks....
they destabalize our entire
civilization with their actions.
and they'd say they
did it for fun....
...or because society made them what they
are.
...or to look cool....
bollucks.
you know what the bottom line
is here kid?
in this world there's just good guys
and bad guys.
and as good guys we've got to crush any and all rebellion- no matter how
tiny the seed.
or the whole world goes
to hell.
but doc- i mean come on- how can we punish them for
something they haven't done?
disturbing the peace.
trespassing.
unlawful assembly. the law has been broken. i see reason enough
to act, broken windows though
they may be.
dude-
nevermind. sit this one out.
ffft. you haven't the
vision to see what's right before your
eyes.
i want to fight.
yeah, somehow i think that's why we
came out in the first place.
so you could satisfy an itch.
children....
is that what this life is about? a
hunger for violence?
satisfied on the
streets?
justified by a
mask?
father pain!father pain!father pain!father pain!father pain!father pain!father pain!father pain!father pain!father pain!
hot lead rockets through my veins, filling me with power.
the reds hit right on time.
my mouth taste like liquid chrome. breath of fire. tongue like dry leather.
i transform- the beast reborn again, the disease of my body forgotten....
...maybe i... this isn't right....
here is your
ahhh. forget it dude.
get out of your head....
...and into the fight.
mind if i play
through?
come to your senses
finally?
i drop two yellows.
brain brain brain brain sharpens. sharpens. sharpens. sharpens.
i see clearly now through the fog of war....
senses mutate-
transforming
all becomes as light- my mind is a focused laser- all seeing, all consuming....
so it seems.
yar done made the worse
mistake'a yars life!
sorry boy. i don't speak
redneck.
map the battlefield
in your mind.note the
position of your enemies, obstructions,
useful objects.
but i hear tell a good
beating is universal.
use your senses to
constantly update this map in your
mind.
think first-
then move.
are we back in class again?
i thought this was just a
free-for-all.
silly me.
we are always in
class.
in battle boy, there can be no
such thing.
now- fall back to me-
comin' comin'.
remember- controlled movements.
quickly reevaluate the battlefield.
on it.
got it.
roll with the punches.
and don't forget to breathe.
you ever get tired of
telling me what to do?
c'mon big boy-
fall down.
that's one
more down boss.
don't worry
cheese....
i hain't forgotten bought ya.
noted.
whew!
the blues spark like lightning, steeling my resolve.
i sense the kid behind me-
pulling further away.....
he's coming into his own....
...at last...
the pain in my chest dulls into a low numb.
needles in my fingertips....
feel a little dizzy?
nauseated?
maybe you should
lie down.
yo doc- that's one
more-
don't you turn your back on me
young man....
aaaaargh!!!aaaaargh!!!aaaaargh!!!aaaaargh!!!aaaaargh!!!aaaaargh!!!aaaaargh!!!aaaaargh!!!aaaaargh!!!aaaaargh!!!
i hit another red quickly- for the final push-
my heart stutters a beat. brain freezes, too much this time. too much.
busy now kid.
gonna fry you like chicken
hero!
kentucky fried fascist, coming up-
oooo...it's spicy!
guess there's a first time for
everything.
lazarus....

all alone.
you made a mistake
leatherman....
we freaks ain't goin'
out like that!
never did a mask before man.
uhhhh.....
last thing i see
before it all goes
black...
he's learned my moves in half the time....
and already he uses them twice as well....
the kid has found his rhythm....
he will honor my mask and my name.
the parting words well up in my throat....
the last gasp of an old man... the sum of my life....
the final offering....it will be fitting to die here- on the field... in the arms of my successor....
yar stay
backa mar-
dude- i have no
idea...
what you're
talking about.
what is that-
esperanto?
agony.i can't fight this anymore.
pain.body failing.
mind cracked and broken.misery.
my enemies surround me.
finished.
completed.
surrendered.
barbed by memories....
they want my life.
and tonight....
tonight i am willing to give it to them.
doc?
hey doc- you see
that man?
not bad for the young rook,
riiiight?
diiiiieeeeee!!!diiiiieeeeee!!!diiiiieeeeee!!!diiiiieeeeee!!!diiiiieeeeee!!!diiiiieeeeee!!!diiiiieeeeee!!!diiiiieeeeee!!!diiiiieeeeee!!!diiiiieeeeee!!!
no.
not yet.
cecilia.
you missed sucka-
murder. yeah. let's do this.
gimmie that
scalp!!
i made a mistake once.
i let down
someone i loved.
i was supposed to
be somewhere....
hooo...
and i was late.
...and i lost her. forever.
ugnh!
and i swore a promise to never be late again.
all that moment i kept thinking-
praying that you would come
around the corner just in time to save the
day....
i wasn't strong enough to fight him on
my own.
but you never came.
so i will not stop.
i will not surrender.
i will fight until the
last breath comes.
my life is an offering. a
penance.
it is all i have to
give.
my life is a shield. i am a protector.
i am getting too old for this.
my last shot just barely puts him down.
if not for my... inspirations... i'd have been gone long ago.
it is the memory that keeps me in this game.
it is the memory which spurs me on.
the circle must not be broken.
it's my duty to her- to the memory of all that have been lost.
you good?
boss?
i will beat this.
i will beat this.
maybe you will get
me one day.
but not today.
not today.
cil?
where are you, girl?
we out?
i should tell him the truth- i know it.
the burden of this secret weighs down my heart.
but i can't- not yet- not until he is fully prepared.
tell him.this fist is merely
flesh. it is temporary.
do you see this kid?
this flesh is temporary. but that
mask- and the meaning of it- that can be something
eternal in this world.
can't you just listen to me
without arguing for once, boy?!
i'm...
c'mon doc- don't talk like that
man- look at you-
you got plenty of mileage left in-
heeeey boss- not
bad tonight, right?
we really showed
those punks what was up,
yeah?
it will waste away and rot- like all flesh.
you worried about that sparkplug
getting a few shots in?
whoa- doc- what's with the bum trip
man?
...i'm growing old, ray.
one day- you will wear my
mask and carry my name.
you must take this work of ours
seriously. you must learn
everything you can from me in the time we have.
can you accept this
responsibility?
well- i mean-
yeah.
then start acting like
it.stop
trifling...stop arguing... stop resisting me....
surrender. and become the man you are meant
to be.
he is impetuous.
brash and arrogant.
strong willed and selfish.
but one day- he will be a good soldier.
i only pray that day comes sooner, rather than later.
before i am finally out of time....
do your meditation.
hit the showers.
go to bed.
...thus concludes today's lesson.
tomorrow is another day- with
lessons of its' own.
i'll find you, babe.
i swear it. i'll find you.
doctor midightdoctor midightdoctor midightdoctor midightdoctor midightdoctor midightdoctor midightdoctor midightdoctor midightdoctor midight

for that, young man.

where she has been taken.

wife? tell me where
she is right now or so help me-
and it was not i that took your
beloved, lazarus
boilermaker.

the man you are meant to be. and i
