Sylum Inspiration: Benji Dunn
Sanctuary: Member
There’s not much on Benji’s childhood. He will tell you it was standard one, with no great memories. He was born in London to a middle class family. He fell in love with computers as a kid, and followed a career path that had him recruited by MI:6.
He was poached by IMF
(Dilios Note: M is still pissed about that particular situation)
He started as a tech analyst at IMF working exclusively with Ethan Hunt. When he finally made it out to the field everything had gone to shit.
Benji knew Ethan needed the information and took the materials to him directly, only to end up in a crossfire and shot. When Ethan asked if he wanted to be Turned, he rolled his eyes and demanded he do it.
Sylum Security: New Information
So Yahoo Group is going the way of the dodo. Not really surprised, but it makes it quite difficult to give out passwords if the system doesn’t work anymore.
The Yahoo Group will not be deleting most of the files until December, so we have some time but not a lot to rework the system.
We’ll be looking into how to handle the situation and will keep you updated.

Sylum Inspiration: Wilhelm Brandtenstein
Ehre: Lead Hunter
Wilhelm was Cinderella’s Head Guard, and loyal to her, even to the point of his own death.
He had not hesitated pushing her away from a runaway carriage, taking the impact. He knew there was no way he would survive his injuries and had requested she take care of his wife and daughter.
She Turned him instead.
Guest Post: Happy Birthday US Navy by Max
On October 13th, 1775 the United States Navy was founded by the Continental Congress. On that day Congress approved two vessels to be armed. Those vessels would then search and destroy vessels bringing the British supplies. Following the end of the American Revolution, the Continental Navy was disbanded but it was quickly reestablished as the United States Navy to combat the growing piracy problem on the seas. Now the United States Navy has more the 200 ships but the main mission remains the same ‘defend freedom and democracy around the world’. That mission is fulfilled in many ways we still perform antipiracy operations just like our founders but we perform them both on the seas and the cybersphere. Among the US Navy’s other main missions are to support our Marine brothers and sisters in their ground and aerial operations.
Today on the 243rd birthday of the United States Navy I ask that you send a prayer up for the Sailors. For one thing that has not changed, and hopefully with never change, is that the sea can be as cruel as she is beautiful and it is perfect.
