Event

Was supposed to find and get rid of a certain bunch of people. Almost did the deed when he saw their boat disappear in a flash of light. Ain't no one gonna believe that, but no one ever did see them again. Good enough for non-government work.

Survival
1: Connection to Miami: Hopped over from Cuba when she went rogue from the Soviet garrison. Been working there ever since. At first she rolled with Russian Mob. Now she works for Thursday. It wasn't a terribly clear break.
2: Previous job: this one time when she was staking out this one safehouse and a crazy guy with a machinegun and a bike helmet crashed a car into it and killed everyone. An hour long chase across the rooftops followed. Was grand.
3: Love interest: an aspiring violinist. She switched her jobs to a “legit” one for his sake. Been learning how to play herself, was described as “adorably clumsy”.
4: Event witnessed: her older sister disappeared at Kholat Syakhl. She went there herself, one day. They found her half-dead, a hundred kilometers away, with a crowbar and a Kalashnikov both broken in half, the magazine empty. What she there in the snow, nobody knows, but she always gets on edge when it’s snowing, even now.

1. Connection to Miami: Frank is a newspaper reporter sent down to the Miami area to cover the drug wars officially and to get him out of his editor's hair unofficially. 2. Previous job is the same as his current job, working for a national newspaper based out of Boston. 3. There was a mysterious girl who once swept young Frank off his feet but her whereabouts are unknown. 4. While covering a story concerning a drug dealing cult based out of the Freetown-Falls River State Forest he saw things. Things he didn't understand. Things that changed how he viewed man and his place in the cosmos. THINGS.

1: Connection to Miami: Build his bunker in Florida to ride out global cooling or a nuclear winter. It looks like Steve Wosniak's garage crossed with a mad science lab.
2: Previous job: Worked on deciphering a numbers station for one of the alphabet soup agencies - more challenging than testing security at NORAD.
3: Love interest: Sweet gal from the BBS, actually lived up to description. Vanished without a trace one day, then appeared on the BBS claiming they never met. He... didn't take it well
4: Event witnessed: The time he was working late, and he saw something fly overhead at ridiculous speed, and made a turn that would make a person into chunky salsa.
