The flight into Los Santos gave Roy Finn some time to think. A lifetime of struggle to make it within the system lay in ruins behind him. Before him was going to be a new life working outside the corrupt system that had destroyed the life he sought to build. Roy was done playing by their rules, and now was going to make his own.

Roy was born to a poor family in Minnesota, who did not have much means. He managed to excel at school, and land scholarships, graduating in the top of his class from ULSA. From there he landed a great job in Silicon Valley. Despite the challenges arrayed against him, Roy was on his way.

It was while working on securing files he discovered his downfall. Merryweather was apparently stealing customer data. Roy reported this breach, and instead of a reward, he was told to ignore it, and was promptly reassigned. Roy was no fool, and it was clear his days at the company were limited. Acting that night, Roy used his personal contacts to gain physical access to company servers and plant relays.

Sure enough, within days, Sean, the blond-haired lady from sales, was making #MeToo accusations against Roy. He was fired that same day, with “proof” provided by none other than Merryweather “investigators”. Roy was without a job, and his paid for condo.

Roy had been ready, and his former employer would find tens of million dollars missing, bounced around the world. Roy made sure his family back home was secure, including hired guns to protect them. Roy himself was making for Los Santos, home of Maze Bank, where his personal funds were hidden. Roy’s plan was simple: Open a Security Company, Future Forward, and use it to launder money. It already had several high end overseas clients, all secret, all fictitious, thanks to his international dark web contacts.

Roy knew when he landed, he would be meeting a local contact, who was a small part of the underworld. Not so big as to attract attention. Frankly, he sounded full of himself, but Roy could play the game. Best to say as little as possible until he got the lay of the land. Until he could close the deal for this Maze Bank office, and find a place to crash, the Opium Nights Hotel would be home.

Once he got his feet under him, Roy set up Future Forward, and created the real Organization, EliteOptions. Future Forward is a data security company, dealing with off site customers. Most of its clients are out of the country, and most of them are made up entities. It has one or two local, very important clients, including the current DA, who pays to keep his data secure, especially the items “RedRoy” hacked from his machine. That provides cover as long the police don’t manage to catch him red handed.

EliteOptions, was set up as the true operation. Roy assembled a group of support personnel and started recruitment of the actual operators. EliteOptions was set up to take payment for jobs serving those needing special things done in Los Santos.  

Roy’s first recruit was “Karusa”, a “refugee” from the Yakaza sent East to Los Santos. As “Seenar” Roy knew Karusa through his dark web contacts and felt he would be the perfect man to help develop EliteOptions. Roy had Karusa meet Lamar at the airport to get him connected to the city’s underworld. He was sure he was never going to hear the end of that. Karusa was a fast study on the ways of Los Santos and proved adapt at meeting customers for EliteOptions. Karusa is a skilled plane pilot.

Second up was “Rintell”, a transfer from the Pacific Northwest. Rintell was seeking to make her way in Los Santos leaving her survivalist father behind. Rintell is much like the group’s kid sister. She is loved and participates, seeking to keep up with her older “brothers”.

Speaking of older brothers, “Bard the Bowman”, in fact is Roy’s real older brother, who was already in Los Santos. Bard actually saw Roy blow by in a car and follow up. Already and expert driver, Bard fast became the driver for the team.

The vacation had been great. Roy and Lisa had flow to Baja. Roy had insisted they use Fort Zancodo for departure and return. Lisa had prearranged a Helicopter to fly them back to the office. On a whim, Roy asked the pilot to set down at his apartment. Moments after they walked away, the helicopter exploded.

Roy hustled the shocked Lisa into the garage. He took a stored Baller, and telling Lisa to keep her head down, they raced to the Facility in the Senora Desert. Once she was safely there, Roy put out an alert to Elite Options from secure communications. His next move was to dye his hair and shave. Taking some clothes from a second-hand store.

Now he is seeking to find out who is targeting him, while letting his this phantom enemy think he is dead or missing.

After getting Lisa safe, Roy linked up with Karusa to investigate the attack. Karusa suggested he contact Madrazo to start the search. Madrazo was more than willing to help, provided the two helped him. It seemed a drug ring was shipping some important cargo via two dingys to a ship at sea. Roy and Karusa could hit their docks, maybe find some information needed, and bring the boats back. The two reluctantly agreed.

The hit went south from the beginning, with no stealth at all. The two blasted their way into the facility and made it to the files but were swarmed as they left. Kaursa took a hit, mid chest in his body armor and was knocked into the harbor, where he swam to saftey. Roy managed to make it to one boat and to the rendezvous. However, to get the files analyzed, the deal was both boats. Using his cargo bob, Roy slipped back and took the gang by surprise, lifting the boat away from them.

Based on the files, it was clear the person they needed to talk too was the local leader of the gang. Thanks to the information, Madrazo was able to leak his location to the FIB, and the two hit the farm the FIB was holding “El Stupido” for transport. As they took him to Grapeseed for his escape, he was able to pass to them vital information about what happened. The gang was used as a pass through, with a woman at Pegasus Concierge who was also a user of their Cocaine. She had done work for them before. This was a paid contract. The lead led to a local business, one that was obviously a front. Roy and Karusa wondered if any high-end businesses in Los Santos were legit.

Roy contacted Lester, who gave them the scoop on the business. The two choose a stealth approach and took Roy’s Akula to the site. Roy climbed to snip from a roof, while Karusa came up to confront the group. After a fire fight, Karusa took the helo on the roof to escape, while Roy, returning to his Akula, followed, shooting the pursing helos from the sky.

The information from this led to who the clear backer was: Merryweather. Lester worked with contacts to find out the who. In the meantime, he asked the two to recover two SUVs controlled by Merryweather used in a recent mission. This was his payment for his help. Lester was able to name the individual who ordered the hit, Alvin Lloyd. Now it was time for Roy to clean up.

First was the Pegasus Concierge worker, Marsha Crow, who placed the bomb. Finding her was easy and dealing with her on the road was Roy’s next step.

Now, Roy asked his crew to help him close in. Roy washed his hair and announced his return. Alvin Lloyd was looking to flee Los Santos, now it was clear that “Seenar” had returned. Lloyd first hid at the Merryweather facility at the docs. Fleeing the EliteOptions attack there, the team chased him to LSIA, and stopped his flight out, rather forcefully.
