MEET THE WRESTLERS OF E.G.O. - The Amazing Mann Name: The Amazing Mann Height: 6'1" Weight: 233 lbs Hometown: Sagittarius system, OGLE-TR-56b Alignment: Neutral Appearance: The Amazing Mann is a charismatic and athletic figure with a chiseled physique. Background: The Amazing Mann, hailing from the Sagittarius system of OGLE-TR-56b, built a galactic reputation as a great entertainer and stuntman, performing feats reminiscent of Earth legends Harry Houdini and Evel Knievel. He entered the GWF in 2116 with virtually no wrestling experience but quickly compensated for this with immense athletic ability and a cunning nature. His flexibility and contortion skills helped him master several wrestling moves and made him highly resistant to submission holds. Vin Strutter recruited Amazing Mann as part of the Greatest Show in the Galaxy in 2116. Mann's first major feud was with the behemoth Atys Tetrac, marking the beginning of his storied wrestling career. Over the next few years, Mann faced off against various formidable opponents, including the Gladiators and Kill Prey, and formed notable tag-teams like Center Stage and Amazing Tricks. In 2122, Amazing Mann left the GWF, claiming that there was more money to be made in the entertainment business with less physical pain involved. He performed numerous public stunts and spectacles, though none provided the exposure or income of the GWF. In 2123, Syndicate Technologies facilitated his return to professional wrestling by transporting him to the Centra dimension to join aCe. There, Amazing Mann announced his "UNBREAKABLE Tour," aiming to make every wrestler in aCe tap out to his new and devastating finisher. Eventually, he joined forces with Nemean and Totalis in a secret organization focused on mutual advancement and profit. Personality: Amazing Mann is a consummate showman, always seeking the spotlight and the next big opportunity. He is ambitious, driven by a desire for fame and fortune, and willing to bend the rules to achieve his goals. Despite his flashy exterior, he is a cunning strategist, always looking for an angle to exploit in and out of the ring. In-Ring Style: Amazing Mann combines his extraordinary flexibility and contortion skills with technical prowess and rule-breaking tactics. His matches are a blend of dazzling athleticism and cunning strategy, designed to entertain and dominate his opponents. Signature Moves: - CONTORTION: Laying side-by-side with the opponent, Mann locks his far leg around the opponent's head and applies pressure to the opponent's arm.
- UNBREAKABLE: A Camel clutch with the opponent locked in a cobra clutch, designed to cause maximum pain and force submission./li]
Accomplishments: - Known for his elaborate stunts and high-profile matches in the GWF and aCe.
- Renowned for his "UNBREAKABLE Tour" in aCe, where he aimed to make every opponent tap out.
Quotes: - "The world is my stage, and I am the star!"
- "There's no hold I can't break, and no opponent I can't outsmart."
Rivalries: Amazing Mann has had numerous rivalries throughout his career, notably with the Gladiators, Kill Prey, and various opponents in the AniMen of Andromeda. His ambition and tendency to bend the rules often put him at odds with both heroes and villains. Allies: In his quest for fame and fortune, Amazing Mann has formed strategic alliances with wrestlers like Nemean and Totalis. These alliances are driven by mutual benefit rather than loyalty, reflecting his pragmatic approach to relationships. Current Status: With the disbanding of aCe following the theft of the Centra essence by Nicodemus and the departure of the Ravager Mothership, Amazing Mann found himself looking for his next big opportunity. Vin Strutter's offer to join the Emerald Grappling Organization (EGO) came at the perfect time. Despite their past differences, Mann and Strutter have found common ground in their mutual desire for profit, making Mann a valuable addition to the EGO roster.

RETURNING FROM CENTRA...
The hum of the shuttle's engines filled the cabin as Vin Strutter, Muss, and The Amazing Mann settled into their seats. The journey back from Centra had been uneventful so far, but Muss's mind was buzzing with questions. "So, Strutter," Mann began, breaking the silence, "tell me more about this Mr. Green. What’s his deal?" Vin leaned back, adjusting his top hat with a smirk. "Ah, Mr. Green. He's quite the enigma. Wealthy beyond measure, with resources that seem endless. He operates from the shadows, pulling strings, making deals. His motivation? Power, influence, control... but the specifics are anyone's guess." Mann nodded, a thoughtful expression on his face. "Sounds like him alright." Muss, curious, leaned forward. "Sounds like who?" Vin shot Muss a disapproving look. "Whom, Muss. Sounds like whom." Mann chuckled. "Before I tell you that, what does this Mr. Green look like?" Vin paused, considering how to describe their enigmatic benefactor. "He's tall, thin, looks to be in his fifties if you go by Earth years. Brown hair tinged with gray, always impeccably dressed in an old-fashioned green tuxedo with a large black bow tie." Mann's eyes widened. "That sounds like him alright." Muss frowned. "Sounds like who?" Vin raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued. "You’ve seen him before?" Mann nodded. "I saw Mr. Green on Centra. He was meeting with Neuromancer." Vin's eyes widened slightly. "Neuromancer? The AI genius suspected of creating the virus that took down the Ravager Mothership and allowed Nicodemus to gain control of the Essence?" "That's the one," Mann confirmed. "It wasn't so much why he was there, but who he was meeting that's of interest." Muss frowned. "Why would Mr. Green be working with Neuromancer and, by extension, the Syndicate or Nicodemus?" Vin's smirk returned, though with less confidence. "Mr. Green is a man of ambition. He craves power and influence. If he's working with Neuromancer and possibly Nicodemus, it must be part of a larger scheme. Perhaps he sees an opportunity to gain something valuable from the situation." Mann nodded. "Neuromancer is a dangerous ally to have. If Mr. Green is aligning himself with him, it could mean big changes are coming. Not just for Centra, but for the entire galaxy." Muss rubbed his chin, deep in thought. "What's Mr. Green’s endgame? What does he want?" Vin's eyes narrowed as he pondered the question. "That's the million-credit question, isn't it? Power, influence, control. Mr. Green wants it all. And he's willing to align himself with the most dangerous minds in the galaxy to get it." The shuttle continued its journey, the hum of the engines underscoring the gravity of their conversation. Muss's mind raced with thoughts of Mr. Green's true intentions and the potential alliances forming behind the scenes. He realized that this mission was much bigger than just wrestling—it was about power plays that could reshape the galaxy.

ARROKOTH, KUIPER BELT, SOL SYSTEM:
The shuttle landed smoothly on the barren surface of Arrokoth. Muss, Vin Strutter, and The Amazing Mann disembarked in envirosuits, making their way through the icy cold toward the entrance to Mr. Green's secret headquarters. Once inside, they entered the elevator for the trip deep into the asteroid's interior. The doors slid open with a hiss, and they were greeted by a warm, greenish glow emanating from within.
As they entered the expansive chamber, they saw Mr. Green standing at the center, addressing a group of wrestlers. Standing beside him was a massive, intimidating figure with an icy blue hue and a frosty mohawk—Cryo-Slash.
Strutter squinted, whispering to Muss, "Who's this guy? I never scouted him."
Green's keen ears caught the whisper, and he turned to face them with a smug smile. "You didn't really think you were my only scout, did you, Vin?"
Strutter's face twitched with irritation, though he quickly masked it with a forced smile. "Of course not, Mr. Green."
As Green continued his introduction, The Amazing Mann and Cryo-Slash exchanged icy glares. There was an immediate, palpable tension between the two.
Muss, meanwhile, reunited with The Bomb, who clapped his friend on the shoulder. "Good to see you, partner."
"Same here," Muss replied, his expression serious. He explained the trip to Centra and Mann's revelation of having seen Green there. "I've got concerns about Green's real agenda," he finished with a concerned look on his face.
The Bomb shrugged. "Maybe he's just trying to assemble the most exciting wrestlers he can find. Given the status of the GWF, he might have to work in the margins." He flashed a shark-like grin, "Don't get much more marginal than leaving our dimension."
Muss nodded slowly. "That's possible, but something about all this feels off. What do you know about Cryo-Slash?"
The Bomb glanced over at the icy newcomer. "Cryo-Slash could be a problem - he's like what you'd get if you flash froze an Aethran and removed what's left of any scruples. He just showed up one day. I haven't seen this other scout, but I've seen Green use his 'holo-thingy' to communicate with someone wearing a hooded robe."
Muss's eyes narrowed. "Interesting. Keep your eyes and ears open, Bomb. Strutter and I will be going back out soon, and I'd like someone to keep tabs on Green without being obvious about it."
The Bomb grinned. "I can be subtle."
Muss chuckled, shaking his head. "Just do your best."
As the day wore on, the tension in the air grew thicker. The assembled wrestlers sized each other up, alliances and rivalries forming in the silent exchanges of glances and body language. The Amazing Mann and Cryo-Slash's animosity simmered just below the surface, promising explosive confrontations to come.
Muss, noting this, told his friend, "They're like two alpha lions."
The Bomb snorted and said, "Wait til they find out who the real alpha is around here."
Muss grinned evilly and replied, "Beau Jangleur, right?"
The Bomb gave his friend a shove. "Yeah, right," he said, shaking his head.
As he prepared for the next scouting excursion with Strutter, Muss kept his thoughts focused on the bigger picture. Mr. Green's motives remained an enigma, and the presence of an unknown scout only added to the mystery. But Muss was determined to uncover the truth, no matter what it took.

Aboard the Shuttle, Heading to Benes
The hum of the shuttle's engines filled the cabin as Muss and Vin Strutter sat in silence, each lost in their own thoughts. Their first stop on this scouting trip had been a success. Earth had yielded Zara Storm, a formidable new talent for EGO. Muss had been impressed with her strength and determination, and after the usual brief negotiations attended by Mr. Green via holo-projector, Zara was signed.
Now, the shuttle was en route to Benes, a habitable moon of the planet Mu Arae C in the Scutum-Crux arm of the galaxy. Muss couldn't shake the nagging thoughts about Mr. Green, the mysterious hooded scout, and what was really going on behind the scenes.
Breaking the silence, Muss turned to Strutter. "So, how many wrestlers have you found and signed for the EGO so far?"
Strutter adjusted his top hat, considering the question. "All of those signed before the arrival of Steel Sentinel. Mr. Green had me scouting across the galaxy, and I've found some real talent."
Muss nodded. "Did you know about this other scout?"
Strutter's face tightened, a rare flicker of genuine emotion crossing his usually composed features. "No. I was as shocked as you were to discover there was someone else."
Muss leaned back in his seat, deep in thought. "Steel Sentinel seems to be a true villain. Even the worst of those you signed would likely be neutral at worst."
Strutter pondered this, thinking specifically of The Amazing Mann. "I'm not so sure. The Amazing Mann has his dark side, but yes, Steel Sentinel does seem to be a true sociopath."
"Do you think," Muss began, choosing his words carefully, "that you and I are finding hero-types while this mysterious other scout is seeking out villains?"
Strutter frowned at the suggestion, clearly uncomfortable. "I've never worked all that well with hero-types. But Mr. Green has promised me that I will be allowed to act as manager of a revived Circus. Besides, we've already found some great candidates. Take Cleanus, for instance. He's as cracked as Tricks, but far less nasty about it."
Muss chuckled at the thought but quickly sobered. "Do you ever wonder what's really going on here, Vin?"
Strutter shook his head, though the gesture seemed more to reassure himself than Muss. "The money makes it all worthwhile. Besides, asking too many questions can be dangerous in our line of work."
Muss wasn't convinced. "How did you hook up with Mr. Green anyway? What are your impressions of the man, and when do you think the EGO will start holding shows? It seems like he's in no rush to come out from the shadows."
Strutter sighed, a rare moment of vulnerability showing through. "I've wondered the same thing. Green has been non-committal about it, always saying we need more talent. My life hit a low point when Tricks and Oracle took control of my operations. They beat me mercilessly and chased me away. Green showed up when I was at my lowest. He promised me the opportunity to rebuild the Greatest Show in the Galaxy, get wealthy, and best of all, get revenge on the GWF. After that, I decided I wasn't going to ask questions."
Muss nodded slowly. He could see where Strutter was coming from. He had his own beef with the GWF, particularly with Sly Drury. "I get it. Sometimes, you just have to take the opportunities you're given."
The shuttle's console beeped, signaling they were nearing their destination. Muss and Strutter pulled up the information on their next target and began poring through it. As the details filled the screen, Muss couldn't help but feel a mixture of anticipation and unease. The questions about Mr. Green and his true motives lingered in his mind, but for now, there was work to be done.
To Be Continued...

Arrokoth Facility, Rec Room (6.1.2124)
The so-called "rec room" of the secret Arrokoth facility was an unremarkable space, but for The Bomb and Beau Jangleur, it was a haven for watching wrestling. The Bomb, slouched comfortably on a worn couch, had his feet propped up on the coffee table, a half-empty bowl of popcorn at his side. Beau Jangleur, sitting beside him, was similarly sprawled, his eyes glued to the holographic screen displaying the latest GWF Clash show.
The Bomb had come to enjoy Beau's company. He suspected Beau watched the GWF with him to scout the competition, knowing Bomb had wrestled there just last year. But whatever the reason, Bomb appreciated having someone to share the experience with.
Their peace was abruptly shattered when Cleanus burst into the room, his eyes wide with horror. "Feet on the table? Unacceptable!" he shrieked.
Bomb and Jangleur exchanged a look, rolled their eyes, and reluctantly took their feet down.
"And crumbs! Crumbs everywhere!" Cleanus continued, his voice rising in pitch.
The two wrestlers stood up, each grabbing Cleanus under one shoulder. With practiced ease, they dragged him from the room and slammed the door shut behind him. From outside, they heard his indignant chant of "Unclean! Unclean!"
Shaking their heads, Bomb and Jangleur resumed their spots on the couch and turned their attention back to the screen. Sly Drury was in the ring, hyping up the main event—a bout for the Galaxian Championship between Endgame and the Aethran Overmaster.
"Who you got?" Jangleur asked.
"Endgame," Bomb replied simply, ignoring the raised eyebrow from Jangleur.
"I'm goin' with the Overmaster," Beau said after a moment. Bomb shrugged.
"Why you so confident? You never wrassled this Overmaster fella, right?" Jangleur pressed.
"Nope," Bomb said, then catching Jangleur's frustration added, "Look, Endgame is a stick in the mud and all high and mighty, but that guy is the best wrestler I've ever seen. He'll figure out a way to win, you watch."
Sure enough, Endgame defeated the Overmaster to retain the title. As Jangleur headed off to work out, Bomb noticed Mr. Green heading towards his reception/throne room. Curiosity piqued, Bomb decided to follow as discreetly as possible, whispering to himself, "Stealth is not my strong suit, bah! I'll show Muss..."
He watched from the shadows as Mr. Green activated his holo communicator. The hooded scout appeared, and Bomb strained to listen, but he couldn't make out much. Green seemed excited at whatever the hooded figure was telling him.
Bomb sneaked off, resolving to try to get closer next time. He needed some solid information to keep from losing face the next time he saw Muss. With a determined nod, he headed back to the rec room, already plotting his next move.

Scorpius Championship Wrestling, Main Event, Antares IV (6.24.2124)
The small hall of Scorpius Championship Wrestling on dusty Antares IV was packed with fervent fans, their cheers echoing off the walls as the main event reached its climax. In the ring, Nakosha was a whirlwind of ferocity and skill, her every move executed with precision and raw power. Her opponent, a seasoned veteran, was struggling to keep up, but Nakosha's relentless onslaught was too much. With a final, devastating slam, Nakosha pinned her opponent and the referee counted to three.
The crowd erupted in applause and Nakosha raised her arm triumphantly, savoring the moment of victory. She ducked out of the ring, heading toward the backstage area. Unnoticed by most, a tall, hooded figure had entered the venue during the match. His face was hidden beneath a dark cowl, and his body was completely covered in black clothing. Some grizzled fans noticed his presence, their eyes widening at his mysterious appearance.
The hooded scout for Mr. Green remained silent, his hidden face pointed at the ring as Nakosha dismantled her opponent. As the match concluded, he silently stepped away from the wall he had been leaning on and began making his way around the perimeter of the crowd, moving toward the backstage door through which Nakosha had disappeared.
A security guard, mustering his courage, stepped forward to block the figure's path. "You can't go back there," the guard said, his voice wavering slightly. The scout simply waved his hand, and the guard's head bounced off the wall as he slumped to the floor, unconscious.
The figure entered the backstage area and paused, listening intently. With a nod, he proceeded down the hall and knocked once, firmly, on a door.
"Just a minute!" Nakosha's voice called from inside. A moment later, she opened the door, looked up at the mountainous figure, and gasped. He stepped inside and closed the door behind him.
Inside the small dressing room, the hooded figure motioned to a chair, and Nakosha, still wary, sat down. The figure's voice was harsh and almost hoarse as he spoke. "You did well," he said.
Nakosha's eyes narrowed. "Who are you?" she demanded.
The figure continued as if he hadn't heard her question. "I am here at the behest of an interested promoter, one with vast resources who would like to sign you to a significant contract."
Nakosha's frown deepened. "You'd better not be from the GWF," she said, her voice laced with belligerence despite the fear that almost made her shake.
"I am not," the figure replied calmly. "I can offer you the opportunity to avenge yourself on those who have wronged you. Your father, perhaps?"
Nakosha's face twisted in fury. "Don't even say his name," she snapped.
"Good.... your anger suits you and will fuel your quest for revenge. That road leads through my employer."
"Who is this employer?" Nakosha demanded.
"That I cannot reveal until you've signed a contract."
Nakosha stood up, her eyes blazing with defiance. "Well, let's have it," she said, holding out her hand.
"One moment," the figure said, his voice measured. "You are far from Cetus and those who... I would assume... care for you. Are you set on the path of vengeance, or will you falter when things become... difficult?"
Nakosha pointed her finger at him, her voice steady. "Listen! I will get vengeance on my father and those who supported his actions! And I'll do it with or without your mysterious employer."
The hooded figure stepped forward, towering over Nakosha, who took a cautious half-step back. He reached into his cloak and pulled out a contract. "Sign this and your road to vengeance is wide open," he said, his voice a low rumble.
Nakosha looked at the contract and her eyes widened. "This is real?"
"Yes."
Her eyes narrowed. "You have a name?"
"Yes," came the reply, nothing more.
"Will you tell me?"
"No."
Nakosha frowned for a moment, then shrugged and signed the contract.
The hooded figure took the signed contract and nodded. "Welcome to the Emerald Grappling Organization," he said. Without another word, he turned and left the room, leaving Nakosha with a sense of foreboding and anticipation.
