After arriving back home that week all my flights towards clients were postponed. Partially for recuperation that was not a lie however there was a gift. A power I could only dream of achieving. To speak with the dead, I have invested most of my saving, traveled the world for clues, at times fearing it would be impossible. How it’s clear it is not a fantasy. It’s not perfect as the spirit of the dead must be present. Oddly enough most of the ghosts in the Copan ruins have moved on apparently. To be more precise, most of the religious cast at least. Since I cant force the ghosts to speak to me its been a slow process to charm them. This is not the case for those who are recently dead. As I pass by the wont stop talking to me. Begging me for random help.

Day 4 of having powers and my sister figured out I had powers or was on drugs. Could not deceive her as she is a fan of Cryptoleak. My teeth and pupils becoming black jade or obsidian black every time a ghost spoke to me did not help. On the bright side she noticed the power has two forms. When I’m ignoring the ghost my teeth and eyes become dark. If the spirit and I agree to talk to each other then my eyes glow a green jade color. Since it seems like closing my eyes and mouth can hide this side effect might need to where contacts and a medical mask if around restless souls.

After finishing the mission, I had a short time before heading back home. Feeling guilty about the officer at the hospital, my best option was sending her flowers with a “Get well soon card”. Once back home took some alone time to recover from the stress by heading to the northern beaches of Honduras as the Atlantic Ocean beaches help heal the soul faster. Got more experience using the stone that was given in the mission prior to this one. Maybe it will be useful in the future. There are some shortcomings I’m starting to work on. Using guns and a weak body could be the end for me in the future. Started taking some classes at the gym and the gun range. It’s too soon to see any improvements but it’s dedication that assures progress. My sister is still worried my lifestyle seems to keep me under high stress and it is getting harder to convince her its all under control. 

Losing Giuseppe was a shocking experience. Luca didn’t seem to be traumatized thankfully. Our uber on the other hand just walked out of the car leaving us behind. After driving to Utah, Luca and I had to get rid of the car. Found a way to send Luca back using the cash Giuseppe had on him. Since I entered the USA through unknown means my passport was not stamped. Using one of my customers’ help I managed to get home with little problems and without using my passport. Hopefully this will help make it seem I have been In Honduras this whole time. Spent some days just recovering from the experience. That was needed, nonetheless, it’s time to tackle the problem with the authorities of the USA as in the past two out of my three missions have been in the USA. Just hope its possible to get help from higher powers when dealing with the authorities. 

There was a car the clones used to get to the airport. Used it to get Dr Laz and Vel to a hospital since my first aid would not be enough. Found a way to sell the to get enough money to stay in the USA need a vacation after that. The gods have once again blessed me with more power and a gift to cure the wounded voice. After healing it I’m planning to get my finances to get all the passwords my clone changed back to my possession. Took a while but it was possible. Started working from the hotel after getting my tickets to fly back home a month from now. It’s not unlikely my next contract will still be here in the USA. “In the meantime, it’s a great time to talk will the other contractors in this country” I thought naively. It seems a lot has passed to the afterlife.  After losing my voice and receiving so much help from them its maybe time to re pay their help.

After the contract it became apparent my flight would have to land in the USA. Calling people, I know, lead me to learn some people have passed away. Among them Crew a reliable contractor. He in informed me of the location of his disappearance and death. It was indeed sad, but it gave me a great opportunity. Recovering his glove would let be powerful enough to survive in the future.

The plan:

1. Head to the location. Brive my way to sight of the incident retrieve the glove go back to Honduras.

Did not work as the building was huge and there were multiple construction staff who could not be bribed easily.

2            Pass as construction staff with a a team of home depo handy men.

Was not convincing enough, so was asked to show paperwork that was not in my disposition.

3. Contact the illuminated Ricter and get his help to retrieve the glove covertly.

Worked out great so I gifted him an armor necklace with the power to make minions.

So… have a great weapon, a good shield, can make minions and can speak with the dead. Closer to a great Mesoamerican god warrior

After meeting Camarada, Muhammad, and Snake we created Maul. It was a weird idea to make a fighting ring for super humans, Cryptids, and any other kind of powerful being. This was not too hard as we had some aligning goals. Comarada wants to create and attract stronger fighters. Muhammad wants to become a true villain. Snake needs to pay their life debt to the Camarada. For me the blood sport could help pray and honor the gods.  

Well to accomplish this we need money, power, and influence. So had to find a way to actually acquire it with the resources in my disposal. Managed to get some dirt on the politicians to waken the gangs in Copan. After they were tired proceeded to Give them a deal. Join me and recover your influence. Not all took me up on that offer, but all three subgroups did after some convincing. Doubt they are trustworthy. Maybe in the future they can become proper Maul henchmen.  

After Monaco went back to Honduras to clear up the confusion with Barrio-18 and get more loyalty from my cartel members.

For Barrio-18 there were three parts

1. Clear any tracking they were doing on me.

The new member Crane was very useful as his tech abilities even obtained the numbers of some higher ups in the country.

2. Get to the meeting to discuss a way to settle the bad blood between them and myself.

Over the phone did my best to convince them I was not trying to take over their gang and instead attempting to boost them in exchange for some help. After explaining my attack was in self-defense as their men shot at me after I planned to leave peacefully, he agreed to meet.

3. Finally reaching an agreement to no longer be at odds with the cartel.

This was a simple conversation way more peaceful. Proved my powers and promised to help them recover their strength in the future.

For the new loyal cartel member I just healed their family members.

Well, it has been a busy time as many have asked for my help. Dr Laz needed to contact a fallen comrade which was unbelievably productive as it allowed me to get cured by Vel. It was a short-lived Alcohol addiction, but it was very draining. After that we parted off. In the future I will cash in the favor if my mind is slipping from the constant unexpected events in missions.

Snake bear called for back up as an evil clone escaped. We managed to recover his ID and other accounts. After planning for a while, we found the clone. With the combined forces and a surprise attack we managed to jump him while in full biker gear. There was a fire rat he controlled but Snake bear managed to turn it into a distraction.

Once in snake bears hand his death was certain. This was reminder to all what happens if you betray the Maul.

I have been communing with the creator of the RAZ-II. It's possible he has connections to one of my contacts, which makes him more trustworthy and capable than I expected. His death seemed to have happened a while ago but it's possible there is enough left to bring him back to life. Maybe as an undead as I'm still not powerful enough to bring people back to life. 

After my most resent mission I'm now in possession of a large crocodile corpse. without its flesh as Eric plans to use it for other purposes. Not sure if I should experiment with it or just eat it. Over all my plans are not written in stone. There is so much work to be done and so much that has to be started. Having an undead crocodile missing its skin could be more problems than I can handle at the moment. I'm just hoping my crew appreciate a crocodile feast.
