Bustenhause
Sit down and gather round, I’m going to tell you the story of Bustenhause. My name’s JonnyG, known around these parts as Agent 00G, Bustenhause is a feared foe, the auto muzzle, and my personal nemesis.
Introduction to Bustenhause
Bustenhause first made an appearance as our good friend Agent Corey was trying to pass along some classified new intel. I immediately tasked my operatives with finding and thwarting Bustenhause. At the time it seemed like a good idea, little did I know how Bustenhause would soon be the bane of my information gathering, changing my tactics forever.
Shortly thereafter, Bustenhause finally stopped by HQ.
“Your puny little operatives are no match for Bustenhause. I will take them down just like I took down that traitor Dangel, the little punk doesn’t deserve the title agent. I smash you all like the fleas that you are.” – Bustenhause’s first visit to HQAt first, Bustenhause didn’t seem that big a threat, we saw a lot more bark than bite.
“You’ll need more than just a couple pussy footed, pampered operatives if you plan on coming after me. I’ve seen your type before, all talk and no action. Well, you’ll be feeling the pain if you go against Bustenhause.”
Intel gathering part 2
But then part 2 of our intel gathering failed to materialize. We sent operatives everywhere, but they seemed to come up against stone walls. Finally we discovered that Bustenhause had captured operative Butterfingers and tortured him. Luckily, though Butterfingers wasn’t the stealthiest of ops, he was tough, and didn’t give our network up. Unfortunately, while we managed to recover the manuscript, the pictures that went with it were nowhere to be found.
None too pleased, Bustenhause took it out on us in the forums.
“That’s right Bustenhause will kill your weak, puny operatives. Then Bustenhause will come after you and break every bone in your body. Be afraid, be very afraid. You may have snuck this intel past me, but I will not let you get more intel.”
It was at this time that we started worrying, part 2 had been delayed, and we had no idea where the rest of the intel was. So we sat down and created a plan. And what a success it was, way beyond our wildest dreams. We had used a decoy, operative Breaking Wind, and caught Bustenhause flat footed. Although losing another operative was tough on the network, the intel gathered was well worth it. We memorialized operative Breaking Wind by adding a chapter to our operative handbook titled, “The Big Bang Theory – Why Not to Mix Mexican Food and Stealth Ops”.
ION Open House
We learned of an upcoming opportunity to gather intel soon thereafter, SOE Seattle was hosting an open house at the ION conference. We didn’t want Bustenhause to hurt anyone, so we came up with another plan. We created a doctored up invitation to the event and left it in a place where Bustenhause was sure to find it. Sure enough Bustenhause came bragging a couple days later.“Bustenhause managed to steal an invitation to your big event. I went and stood in front of the doors and made sure none of the ION attendee’s could come. They were not able to get past me in order to get classified intel. Suckers!”
When Bustenhause found out that we’d set it all up, things quieted down. We were on a roll, we’d managed to take it to Bustenhause a couple times in a row. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing, there’s bound to be retaliation.
Come to think of it, wheres part 3….
Well Bustenhause has gone on the offensive, we just received this message.
“There will be no part 3, I caught the puny operative assigned to analyze the intel and snapped her leg in two. No intel for you!“It looks like he caught our operative Frail Bones, snapped her leg in two, and stole our recently gathered intel. Luckily we have a contingency plan…
Big Blasts and Bustenhause
Looks like Bustenhause has ratcheted his offensive up in an explosive way.
We must have hit Bustenhause where it really hurt, as it appears Bustenhause has gone on the offensive big time. After breaking our operatives legs last week, this week Bustenhause blew up our datacenter. Not only did it bring us down, it also brought down 9,000 others.It’s looks like Bustenhause may indeed have more bite than bark, luckily our continengency plans are still in motion.
Bustenhause builds his operative network
It appears that Bustenhause has started to build an operative network. We found that the auto muzzle had somehow removed the page for The Agency at MMORPG. No sooner had our operatives found and fixed the issue, when we received this message from Bustenhause.
You’re operatives may have fixed this, but mine are hard at work hacking your systems. For instance, perhaps you’re wondering why you haven’t had any new registrants for quite a while. Maybe you should take care of your network before trying to extract any more information from mine. Bustenhause rocks!Doh, sure enough he’s hacked our system. My operatives are currently hard at work fixing the issue.
