Bakom | Scrafty

Bakom | Scrafty (M)

Bakom is an exotic style of Peruvian street fighting that values hidden weapons and deception. It utilizes tactics from jujutsu, and aims to attack with power in order to disrupt an opponent's equilibrium. Confrontations typically end in death. Scrafty learned its name by scoring a ORKO in its first battle versus IssacCross. ▶​

I'm perfectly happy taking away your Fake Out flinch personally

The start of the espionage story simply involves taking measures for intelligence gathering and counterintelligence, with a lot of Fake trails to Protect Birkal's true intentions and motives. Texas used the government's resources to get a Flying eye to get a lock on Birkal, but he's met with minimal successes so far.

Birkal tapped into a rogue Chinese source, and managed to slow Texas' digital trace down with a Scary Face algorithm that had the NSA agent thrown off-track from his Flight. With a Rock Slide of workload crashing down on Texas, it seems that he'd require more resources than the precision Air strikes from his government to tackle this counterintelligence project..

Still being intimidated by Birkal's tactics, Texas finally secured a UWV (Unmanned Winged Vehicle) to conduct a close aerial search at identifying the GLA sleeper's true location. But in the end, it took Birkal's paranoia, lashing out at a fake cop with Rocks and taser Punches, that had Texas finally nailling him with a Focused SWAT hit. The lives of normal citizens of USA lives on, unaware that they have been saved from certain death by an unnamed compatriot.
