Some stock images and a vignette from Mek's Väki. See this link [ [link] ] for the events immediately preceding this snippet.

===========
Mek's Väki - Episode 1 - "Toward the Blue Peninsula"
Vignette 1 - The Package


"Jade," Mek yells as he walks back into the office, "FedEx just delivered this for you. How are the kayaks coming? And why are you wearing greaves?"

"The kayaks are fine. He's got them in stock. I told him to repaint them that funky 'quarter moon at midnight' camo pattern that works so well on dark lakes. They'll be ready in 5 hours. I'm wearing greaves because I've got a bad feeling that at some point in this job someone's going to kick me really hard in the shin. Plus they're double layer TWARON. You know how I am about the possibility of being shot in the lower leg."

"Good on the kayaks. You may want to talk to a mental health professional about your premonitions. Finish up your equipment check; and remember very quiet and very non-lethal."

"Come on, boss, you're makin' me feel bad. I'd like nothing better than to just sneak around with no one the wiser. But Seamus always trips over something and then people start shooting at me. At that point I've got no choice but to defend myself."

"Hey, I heard that," Seamus says without looking up from his workbench.

"Yeah," Jade says, "just like you heard those SIXTEEN drunken yobs on the other side of that CURTAIN in Manchester...Hot damn! Look who this package is from."

"New issue of Martha Stewart Living?" Seamus asks.

"Unfortunately not, wise-ass. No, it's from my exotic weapons broker back in the states."

Not one to ever pass up the opportunity to check out some new gear, Seamus heads over to Jade's desk. "I thought your exotic weapons broker was in Milan."

"Sergio? Nah, I fired him in March. His gear was boring, straight out of Jane's. My new broker calls herself =ladydove7, a name that has the elegant, poetic quality that I appreciate in an arms merchant."

Jade snaps open the latches on the ballistic plastic case.

"What the hell is that?" Seamus asks.

"I'm not sure, but I like it! Looks a little like a kusarigama with different types and lengths of cord and a clever system for attaching interchangeable blades and weights. Good for entangling, garroting, distracting, and, unless I'm mistaken, even good for ensuring you can keep hold of something you've just hurled a knife into. Interesting concept. See, this is why I dig =ladydove7 so much. Sergio would never have come up with something this interesting."

"Don't tell me you think you can actually use that thing"

"Sure. Watch." ...
