December 16, 1944. Heavy snowstorms engulf the Ardennes forest. It's cold. Hard to see. In the early morning, beleagured Allied troops hear what they think is thunder. It's not.
At 5:30am, Germany's military roars to life. Having moved 1,600 heavy weapons into a 80-mile front bordering the Allied army to the north and west, they open fire in a 90-minute artillery barrage, taking the Americans by surprise and launching Germany's last-ditch effort in #WWII
The objective is simple, march through the Allied line, splitting it in two and don't stop until you've recaptured the Port of Antwerp, which is the only port supplying the Allies on the western front. Hitler has planned this assault for months -- since September.

BTS Mystersy au : 'THE SAVIOUR'
Characters:
RM > Moon Jin> Seoki
SG > August Jh> Hope
JM> Jim Tae> V
JK > Jay
I need my characters to talk n behave in a specific way so keep in mind this is fictional. It doesn't portray the real behaviour of members.
The story will have 7-8 choices which will majorly affect the storyline. No matter how funny or simple it looks, please think twice before you choose as your choice can save a life.
I have the storyline, but it may take a while to update the chapters.
Prologue: 'This is his 3rd victim so far'said a male voice.
'Has there been a connection?' Another answered.
'The same one as before' the first man says.
'Do we have a murder weapon?'
'He always uses a different one.'
The two officers converse over the dead body of a young boy

Early morning drop from Q re: yesterday's /ga/ drop mentioning Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Anon mentions the interesting timing of her appearance on CNN the same day. She says she's "Here to stay." Q says otherwise.

Anons have speculated this could be the role Trey Gowdy steps into.
2. Correction to my last. It appears RBG was saying the #MeToo movement is here to stay and symbolizes a monumentous shift in American culture."

Q's response, though, was clearly aimed at her.

3. Yes! "The age of tech has hurt their ability to hide/control."

"The media cleanse/JFK" references this JFK quote: "splinter the CIA (Operation Mockingbird Media) into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds.". Thank GOD for social media!! WE the people are in control!
