Hunters Point Avenue station

The Hunters Point Avenue station is a station on the IRT Flushing Line of the New York City Subway. Located at 49th Avenue (formerly Hunters Point Avenue) and 21st Street in the intersections of Hunters Point and Long Island City, Queens, it is served by the train at all times and the <7> train during rush hours in the peak direction.

History
As part of its development, what is now the Flushing Line was extended one stop East, from Vernon–Jackson Avenues, which opened in 1915, to Hunters Point Avenue on February 15, 1916. Later that year it would again be extended to Court Square–23rd Street station.

The city government took over the IRT's operations on June 12, 1940. The IRT routes were given numbered designations in 1948 with the introduction of "R-type" rolling stock, which contained rollsigns with numbered designations for each service. The route from Times Square to Flushing became known as the 7. In 1949, the New York City Board of Transportation announced that the Flushing Line platforms would be lengthened to 11 IRT car lengths; the platforms were only able to fit nine 51-foot-long IRT cars beforehand. The platforms at the station were extended in 1955–1956 to accommodate 11-car trains. However, nine-car trains continued to run on the 7 route until 1962, when they were extended to ten cars.

Station layout
This station is the easternmost (railroad north) underground station on the Flushing Line until the northbound terminal station (Flushing – Main Street). The tunnel portal is at the eastern end of the station. Just outside the portal is a diamond crossover linking the two tracks.

This station has two tracks and two side platforms. Its architecture is in an Italianate design of brown color. Tilework includes a trimline with "HP" tiles on it and name tablets reading "HUNTERS POINT AVE." in gold serif font. The platform columns also have a trim line with "HP" tiles below them.

Exits
This station has one fare control area above the platforms and tracks near the north end. Two staircases from each platform go up to a waiting area/crossover, where a turnstile bank and several exit–only turnstiles provide access to and from the station. Outside fare control, there is a token booth and one staircase going up to the north side of 49th Avenue with 21st Street several hundred yards to the west. Two other staircases to the east go up to the north side of the same street and is near the Long Island Rail Road's Hunterspoint Avenue station.

On October 29, 1982, a public hearing was scheduled concerning the planned closure of the entrance leading to the southeast corner of 49th Avenue and 21st Street as part of the New York City Transit Authority's Station Modernization Program.

Bulletism

Bulletist or bulletism is an artistic process that involves shooting ink at a blank piece of paper. The result is a type of ink blot. The artist can then develop images based on what is seen. Salvador Dalí named this technique. Leonardo da Vinci, suggested that "just as one can hear any desired syllable in the sound of a bell, so one can see any desired figure in the shape formed by throwing a sponge with ink against the wall."

Gangte people

Gangte is an ethnic group residing predominantly in the Indian state of Manipur, as well as in parts of Mizoram, Assam, and Myanmar. Also part of the larger Zo people, and are recognized as a tribe in both Manipur and under the Indian Constitution. As of, their global population is estimated to be approximately 40,000. Their primary settlements in India are located in Churachandpur district of Manipur and in neighboring states, including Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Assam. The Gangtes predominantly use the Meitei language as their second language (L2).

Naming System
The Gangtes utilize a distinct naming system designed to preserve their history and ancestry, especially given the absence of written historical records. Grandparents name their grandchildren using the last syllable of their own names—e.g., Thangmang leads to Manglun, which becomes Lunkholal, which turns into Lalminlun, etc. Grandfathers name grandsons and grandmothers name granddaughters. The firstborn son and daughter typically are named after the paternal grandparents, while the secondborn children are named after the maternal grandparents. This system is prevalent among many of the Zo peoples.

Spur Posse

The Spur Posse was a "white, suburban clique" of former and current Lakewood High School students from Lakewood, California. The members of the group, estimated to be between 20 and 30 individuals, admitted to "competing for 'points' in a long-running game of sexual conquests." Accusations of sexual assault and misconduct against the group was filed by seven girls in 1993. On March 18, 1993, nine members of the group were arrested by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for sex crimes including sexual assault, lewd conduct, and statutory rape of a 10-year-old minor.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department initially charged nine members of the group with 17 felony counts, but "the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office declined to file charges against four youths, dropping 15 charges, concluding that the sexual encounters had occurred with the consent of the girls." National media attention of the case soon followed, and several members of the group went on talk shows to discuss the Spur Posse and its sexual values. Eventually, prosecutors controversially dropped all but one charge. One member of the group was convicted with lewd conduct with a minor under the age of 14 and spent less than a year in the Dorothy Kirby Center, a juvenile detention center in Commerce, CA.

Members
The Spur Posse had an estimated membership of 20 to 30 individuals of the "town's best-looking, most-popular teen-agers." Only a handful have publicly claimed or have been identified as members of the Spur Posse:

 * Dana Belman
 * Kristopher Belman
 * Christopher Albert
 * Jimmy Rafkin
 * Billy Shehan
 * Christopher Russo
 * Lonnie Rodriguez
 * Kevin Howard
 * Jeff Howard
 * Shad Blackman
 * Eric Richardson
 * Mike Weber
 * Dana Kawamura
 * Ronnie Breceda

Background
Dana Belman, a varsity football player and linebacker on Lakewood High School's football team, initiated the creation of the clique, Spur Posse, in 1990. The group initially consisted of 14 members of the high school's football team who would congregate after school to play basketball wearing San Antonio Spurs caps, naming themselves after their favorite team. The group's leaders, brothers Dana and Kristopher Belman, devised a scoring system as a "source of friendly competition among members" that awarded "one point for penetration, only one point allowed for each girl." One member, Billy Shehan, claimed to be the top scorer of the group, with 66 sexual encounters. Several of the Spurs were star athletes, "powerful young men worshiped by peers and parents," who liked parties, football games and girls. In March 1993, seven young women, including an 11-year-old, filed complaints against members of the Spur Posse, accusing them of sexual misconduct and assault over the span of 5 months in 1992. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department arrested eight youths and one 18-year-old, Kristopher Belman, for "17 felony counts of rape, unlawful intercourse and related charges." According to investigators, "the gang victimized perhaps scores of young women, using persuasion and threats to score 'points' in their long-running game of conquests." One victim, a 16-year-old girl, told an investigator that "a Spur had removed her clothes in a park during a sexual encounter, then refused to give them back until she had sex with other Spurs. She said her clothing was returned only after she screamed. She believes the commotion prevented a gang rape." Another victim had an abortion after being "forced to have sex with several boys."

Members, friends and family of the Spur Posse defended themselves as a nonviolent group. Defenders of the group claimed that all their sexual encounters were consensual, calling one of the accusers "a liar and a slut." The Los Angeles District Attorney office declined to file 15 of the 17 charges, pursuing only one of the boys "for allegedly having sex with a 10-year-old girl." The district attorney's office claimed that they could not prove the other charges, "saying that the matter was a "social" problem better left to churches, schools and parents to handle." The other eight members were released less than a week later. Only one youth was convicted for lewd conduct with a minor under the age of 14, and served less than a year in a juvenile detention center for the crime. Kris Belman was charged with "the alleged molestation of a 13-year-old girl" but "charges were dropped after he completed the informal probation." District Attorney, Sandy Buttitta, in a written statement wrote, "Our conclusion is that there is no credible evidence of forcible rape involving any of these boys...Although there is evidence of unlawful sexual intercourse, it is the policy of this office not to file criminal charges where there is consensual sex between teen-agers...The arrogance and contempt for young women which have been displayed, while appalling, cannot form the basis for criminal charges.”

In the media
When allegations against the Spur Posse came to light, a media frenzy surrounded the case. Members of the Spur Posse were invited to talk shows, interviewed for publications, and placed on covers of magazines. Appearances on national TV included The Jenny Jones Show, Night Talk With Jane Whitney, Maury, Nightline, The Montel Williams Show, Dateline, The Phil Donahue Show, Inside Edition and Home Show. They appeared on the front page of the New York Times and Newsweek and posed for Sassy, a teen girl's magazine, and Penthouse. The local paper listed upcoming television appearances, under headlines as the Posse Premiere and The Spur Posse on TV.

TV show producers vied for the Spur Posse's attention and plied them with paid trips to NYC. Billy Shehan reported to Newsweek that a senior staffer from Night Talk With Jane Whitney took them to a strip bar, Goldfingers, in a limo. The Maury Povich Show "wooed the boys by sending them out for the evening with four young women from the program's staff." When asked why they would be compelled to appear on TV, Billy Shehan, said "You gotta get your image out there. It's all about building that image on a worldwide basis." Many of the Spurs hoped that the exposure would offer them opportunities into acting, modeling, radio and comedy.

Some members of the group sought representation by talent agencies, but failed to secure any deals. Several agents said that they wouldn't feel comfortable profiting off alleged sexual assault crimes of minors. Jill Holwager, an agent of United Talent Agency, said, "I would be using my skills to make these guys a lot of money and make them really famous, and I thought that was wrong."

Public reaction
The scandal divided the community of Lakewood, with some condemning the actions of the group and others claiming that the situation was blown out of proportion. After the nine members were released from arrest, they returned to a "hero's welcome at school." Some students, both male and female, supported the Spurs' claim of innocence, saying that their accusers were "willing participants who sought status by sleeping with athletes." A 15-year-old freshman girl remarked, “There are so many girls out there who want to sleep with these guys. They are so fine. They wouldn’t have to rape anyone.”

Detractors of the group were outraged when charges were dropped by the district attorney. Around 200 parents attended a meeting to condemn the Spur Posse claiming that "the clique had terrorized the community, picking fights with male classmates and raping and threatening female students in a pattern that has escalated since the arrests." At the time, many of the parents of the accused Spurs were unperturbed by the accusations. Donald Belman, after the release of his son, Kristopher, from custody, said "Nothing my boy did was anything any red-blooded American boy wouldn't do at his age." Dottie Belman told a reporter, "Those girls are trash," referring to the accusers. Diane Hurst, mother of a Spur, thought it was "sad for the girls that they have such low self-esteem that they would do this...it's a testosterone thing."

Under the glare of public scrutiny, Lakewood "became identified with rampant promiscuity and familial dysfunction" and gained the moniker of "Rapewood". The sway the group had over the town prompted a larger discussion about sexual harassment and misogyny in American schools. The media characterized the behavior of the group as fueled by the sexual revolution of the 90's, "aided and abetted by MTV and Hollywood violence." Rev. Ginny Wagener, executive director of the South Coast Ecumenical Council, did not view the Spurs as an isolated incident, stating that "society promotes male dominance and sexual promiscuity. It's in the culture." There was a pervasive "boys will be boys" mentality in the Spur Posse's defense, that young men are "incapable of bringing either responsibility or humanity to their sexual activity." One columnist, Clarence Page, wondered if the members of the Spur Posse were black, would they "be viewed less with wonderment and titillation than with dismay, horror, embarrassment and lofty talk about 'pathologies,' 'the underclass' and responsibilities, personal and societal." Families of the Spur Posse were middle-class and privileged, and their values could not be "blamed on poverty or discrimination." "Misguided values" allowed the Spur Posse to operate without fear of consequences through victim blaming of young women.

Aftermath
Victims reported that they notified school officials of threats "for months and walk the campus hallways in constant fear." In a news conference, Gloria Allred "fired a warning shot at school officials by suggesting that they knew about at least one rape charge in December but took no action." Lakewood High Principal Mike Escalante said that students were being offered various options such as schedule changes or transfers. School officials also planned assemblies and forums to educate students about date rape and sexual harassment.

Burglary charges against a member of the Spur Posse surfaced as a result of the sexual allegations. After being invited to the homes of junior high school girls, authorities said Belman "entered the girls’ parents’ bedroom and took credit cards, which he used" in June 1992. Authorities also claimed that Belman stole 21 guns from a residence during a party. Belman and Christopher Russo were arrested in Las Vegas after attempting to use the stolen credit cards and detained again in December 1993 for forging checks. Dana Belman was sentenced to 10 years in prison for 13 burglary and fraud convictions in 1994.

A member of the Spur Posse was targeted in a racially motivated attack by a white supremacist group, Fourth Reich Skinheads. According to the prosecution, a juvenile set off a pipe bomb on one of the homes of a Spur member, "chosen because it was owned by a black man, while the Spur Posse member allegedly was picked because he is part Mexican and part Asian."

Members of the group and some of their families were shunned by their community, unable to find employment because of their infamy and continued to have run-ins with the law. Christopher Albert, a member of the Spur Posse, was "killed during rowdy Fourth of July celebrations in Huntington Beach" in 1995. Albert was fatally shot by Esteban Quiroz during an argument. In 1996, Spur Posse members Dana Kawamura and Ronnie Breceda, "were arrested in connection with the near fatal stabbing of a young man at a New Year’s Eve party in Seal Beach. Kawamura and Breceda have been charged with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon." Mike Weber spent time in jail for assault with a deadly weapon.

In culture
Joan Didion wrote a celebrated article about the Spur Posse, titled "Trouble in Lakewood", published as part of the "Letter from California" column in The New Yorker on July 26, 1993. The article was also included in a different form in her 2003 book, Where I Was From. Didion's essay detailed the dark side of California suburbia tying moral decay to the deterioration of economic opportunities. Gustavo Arellano, in an essay for The Los Angeles Times, writes that Didion "unmasks the misogyny and racial animus of Lakewood’s white population."

The Spur Posse was covered at length in Susan Faludi's book Stiffed: The Betrayal of the American Man, including their formation, their fame and appearance on talk shows, and the aftermath. HBO planned to adapt the book "into an anthology of one or perhaps two films dramatizing the stories of some of the men depicted in the book" in 1999.

The X Files mentions the group in an episode, "Red Museum." Fox Mulder, played by David Duchovny, says "I think the Spur Posse just rode into town" after seeing a group of hostile teenagers. Dana Scully, played by Gillian Anderson, later quips, "kinda hard to tell who's the villain without a score card."

In 1995, Law & Order broadcast an episode, "Performance", based upon the case.

The group was mentioned in Spin Magazine's "Soy Un Perdedor: The 50 Worst Moments of the ’90s".

The main villains in the 1999 horror film, The Rage: Carrie 2, were based on the Spur Posse.

Spur Posse is mentioned in the Bratmobile song Brat Girl.

A made for TV movie, Restless Virgins, recalls Spur Posse's "sex for points" system that aired on Lifetime in 2013.

Vernon Boulevard–Jackson Avenue station

The Vernon Boulevard–Jackson Avenue station (often informally referred to as Vernon–Jackson station; formerly Vernon–Jackson Avenues station) is a station on the IRT Flushing Line of the New York City Subway, and the westernmost station on the Flushing Line in Queens. It is served by the 7 train at all times and the <7> train rush hours in the peak direction. Although there is a nearby intersection of Vernon Boulevard and Jackson Avenue, the station is located one block north of that intersection, on 50th Avenue, between Vernon Boulevard and Jackson Avenue, both of which have entrances to the station.

History
The Dual Contracts were formalized in early 1913, specifying new lines or expansions to be built by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company (IRT) and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company (BRT). The Dual Contracts involved opening the Steinway Tunnel as part of the new Flushing subway line. The route was to go from Times Square in Manhattan, passing through the tunnel to Long Island City in Queens, then continuing toward Flushing from there. The tunnel, with trolley loops on both the Manhattan and Queens sides, had sat unused since 1907, when test runs had been performed in the then-nearly-complete tunnel. The Queens trolley loop was near Vernon Avenue (now Vernon Boulevard) in Long Island City.

The Vernon–Jackson Avenues station opened on June 22, 1915, as a terminal for shuttle trains going into Manhattan via the Steinway Tunnel until the line was extended to Hunters Point Avenue on February 5, 1916. A westerly extension of the Manhattan-bound platform opened for service on December 20, 1923.

The city government took over the IRT's operations on June 12, 1940. The IRT routes were given numbered designations in 1948 with the introduction of "R-type" rolling stock, which contained rollsigns with numbered designations for each service. The route from Times Square to Flushing became known as the 7. In 1949, the New York City Board of Transportation announced that the Flushing Line platforms would be lengthened to 11 IRT car lengths; the platforms were only able to fit nine 51-foot-long IRT cars beforehand. The platforms at the station were extended in 1955–1956 to accommodate 11-car trains. However, nine-car trains continued to run on the 7 route until 1962, when they were extended to ten cars.

In 1981, the MTA listed the station among the 69 most deteriorated stations in the subway system.

1997 station agent murder
In 1997, this station was the site of a night station agent being killed for subway tokens. The result of this incident was a change in policy where night station agents do not have to empty the turnstiles after the evening station agent leaves unless police, a supervisor, or another employee is present (and that is left to the option of the station agent). Since the introduction of the MetroCard, this process remains the same. Two armed NYCT guards clear the vending machines.

Station layout

This underground station has two side platforms and two tracks. A black wall separates the two tracks for most of the station.

Both platforms have a line of yellow columns along their edges. Most of these are normal I-beam columns, but in the middle of the platforms, cream colored arches, which is also the color of the station's ceiling, starting at about four feet off the ground support a short section of the columns. The platform walls have a mosaic gold and brown trim line on top while the name tablets are mosaic white with white text reading "Vernon-Jackson Ave's" (erroneous if the use is considered in the possessive context, but it can also be considered as a contractional form of the plural) on a brown background and gold and brown border. There are also a few directional signs to the station's fare control areas reading "Vernon Ave" or "Jackson Ave" with an arrow beneath.

Exits
Each platform has two same-level fare control areas and there are no crossovers or crossunders connecting the platforms. The full-time fare control areas are just west of the middle of the platforms, though only the Manhattan-bound platform still has a token booth. Each area has a small regular turnstile bank and two staircases to the street, the northeast corner of Vernon Boulevard and 50th Avenue for the Manhattan-bound platform and the southwest corner for the Flushing-bound platform. The southern staircase's steel fencing does not have the standard black sign saying what station this is and what trains serve it.

Each platform also has a larger, unstaffed fare control on their extreme east (railroad north) ends. On the Manhattan-bound platform, a wide, but short staircase goes up to some High Entry/Exit Turnstiles that lead to two street stairs, one to each northern corners of 50th Avenue and Jackson Avenue. This entrance at one time had a part-time token booth and regular turnstiles. The Flushing-bound platform has a similar arrangement with short staircase to a wide intermediate landing with an exit-only turnstile at each corner. Outside the turnstiles is a single street stair, each going up to each southern corners of 50th Avenue and Jackson Avenue.

XIII (comics)

XIII ("Thirteen") is a Belgian graphic novel series about an amnesiac who seeks to discover his past. It was created by writer Jean Van Hamme and artist William Vance. It is currently being written by Yves Sente and Youri Jigounov. The storyline of the first five volumes was adapted into a video game in 2003, also titled XIII, which was released on several platforms. A Canadian television film based on the series, XIII: The Conspiracy, was released in 2008. It was followed in 2011 by two seasons of a TV series, each 13 episodes, called XIII: The Series.

Main characters

 * XIII: The title character suffers from total amnesia. He soon discovers that he is suspected of the assassination of President William Sheridan. Throughout the albums he tries to regain his memory and to find out the true facts surrounding the assassination of the president. Although his memory does not return, he gradually learns more about who he is. His real name is Jason Mullway. However, because he was adopted at a young age (after the death of his mother and the disappearance of his father) by Jonathan MacLane, a cousin of his father Sean Mullway, he officially bears the name Jason MacLane.

 * General Benjamin (Ben) Carrington: He holds a senior military position in the Pentagon. He is convinced that XIII is innocent and he helps him regain his memory.

 * Jones: She is Carrington's assistant and she was also trained by him. As a permanent partner, she supports XIII everywhere. She is a skilled pilot, both for airplanes and helicopters. While she is still a lieutenant in the first stories, she has now risen to the rank of colonel.

 * Mongoose: XIII's arch-enemy is an assassin who fears nothing. Initially they call him Schreiner, because he is an apprentice to a Berlin carpenter, this is revealed in XIII Mystery: The Mongoose. He was hired by Number I to kill XIII. XIII lost his memory due to a bullet from the Mongoose.

 * Colonel Amos: He had to solve the murder of William Sheridan and first suspected XIII, who was able to escape. After it became clear to him that XIII was innocent, he helped him instead of arresting him.

 * Wally Sheridan: US President. His brother William was murdered by Steve Rowland on behalf of Number I.

 * Betty Barnowski: a -now former- soldier who met XIII during an undercover mission and who has helped him regularly since then.

 * Marquis De Préseau: an old, friendly French aristocrat who often comes to XIII's aid. Through XIII he met Betty Barnowski, with whom he has been in a relationship ever since.

 * Felicity Brown: a dangerous opportunist who does not shy away from violence to get her way. Rather coincidentally, her path crosses that of XIII several times, and they get in each other's way.

 * Stephen G. Dundee: Appears only in the 13th album. It is remarkable that he plays a role in both XIII and another comics series, Largo Winch.

Volumes 1-5
The series begins with a amnesiac man awakening to find himself washed ashore in the East Coast. The only clues to his past are a tattoo of the Roman numerals "XIII" on his collarbone and a photo of himself with a woman, who is identified as Kim Rowland, widow of US Army captain Steve Rowland. Volumes 1 through 5 deal with "XIII" searching for his identity and past. He finds himself hunted by a contract killer, the "Mongoose", who works for a mysterious organization known as XX, which aims to mount a coup against the US government. XIII is rescued from XX's assassins by Colonel Amos of the FBI, who confronts XIII with video evidence that shows XIII assassinating the President.

In the second volume, XIII is captured by General Carrington and his aide, Lieutenant Jones. Carrington confirms that XIII is Rowland, and further explains that Rowland was a member of a special operations unit called Special Assault and Destroying Sections (SPADS). Carrington had been commander of SPADS when Rowland was supposedly killed in action two years earlier. Because XIII's amnesia prevents him from identifying who sponsored the President's assassination, Amos lets him go. XIII reunites with his father and his uncle, but they are both murdered by XIII's young, gold-digging stepmother Felicity, who frames him after harming herself. XIII escapes the police with Carrington's help and meets Kim, an XX member known as "XVII", who reveals that XIII is not Steve Rowland. XIII is arrested by the police and Kim disappears. XIII is found guilty for the murders and sent to a maximum security prison.

The third volume finds Amos, still pursuing his investigation, realizing that XIII was a body double for the real Steve Rowland. Amos requests Carrington's help to identify people who have been trained as top-level special operators and match XIII's physique; Amos's aim is to discover XIII's true identity. Carrington provides the papers of about twenty people. One, named Ross Tanner, has been missing for two years. Amos decides to leave XIII in prison to have his amnesia treated. The treatment fails, and the Mongoose tries to have XIII killed in the prison. Carrington helps XIII break out.

Volume four begins with Amos finding that Carrington had invented the Tanner identity and suspecting him of being part of the conspiracy to kill the President. XIII, under the name of Ross Tanner, has been hidden by Carrington in a SPADS training facility in the fictitious Latin American country of San Miguel. Amos continues to delve into the files and learns that Rowland was murdered shortly after the assassination. Amos now assumes that Rowland was the real assassin, and is confused about XIII's real role, but he exposes Judge Allenby, the head of the investigation, as one of the conspirators. Amos interrogates Allenby, who is killed by the Mongoose's assassin; Amos himself is rescued by Kim. Meanwhile, a female SPADS Sergeant named Betty Barnowsky reveals to XIII that she saw Rowland in Eastown after his alleged death, in the company with SPADS Colonel Seymour McCall. XIII, Barnowsky, and Jones escape an assassination attempt by McCall but end up lost in the San Miguel jungle.

Kim takes Amos to Carrington and National Intelligence Director Carl Heideger, who reveal that, after faking his death in the helicopter crash, Rowland contacted Kim and forced her to be a member of the conspiracy. Kim, not sharing the conspiracy's ideology, and herself a former secret agent, secretly alerted her former boss, Heideger. Despite having this information, however, Heideger was unable to prevent the assassination of the President. Rowland was shot by the Mongoose, but he escaped, mortally wounded, and died shortly after telling Kim what had happened. Heideger and Carrington then came up with a plan to make XX believe that Rowland had survived, hoping to attract the Mongoose's killers, arrest them, and follow their trail to the conspirators. They sourced a man named Jason Fly who was transformed into a Rowland double, but soon after, Fly disappeared, when he was shot and lost his memory, just before the story began. Kim is also revealed to be Carrington's daughter.

At the start of volume five, XIII, Jones, and Barnowsky kidnap the Marquis de Préseau, a rich French land owner in San Miguel, to steal his jet to fly back to the US. Meanwhile, Carrington and Heideger have been arrested by the conspirators as they prepare to take over the country during a large-scale military exercise. XIII and the women meet with Amos, who brings them into contact with Walter Sheridan, brother of the assassinated President and himself a candidate for presidency.

Sheridan helps XIII infiltrate the military's center of operations, and, together with President Galbrain, manage to stop the conspiracy at the last moment. The entire conspiracy group, with the exception of the illustrious Number I, has been either killed or captured. Walter is elected President, and Kim remains missing for reasons unknown. At the end of the story, XIII believes he has found his old identity as Jason Fly and is prepared to continue his life normally, even if his memories have not yet returned.

Volumes 6-8
In the following volumes, XIII takes up the investigation about his past. Volumes six and seven bring XIII to Greenfalls, a snowy town in the Rocky Mountains, where the story revolves around the fate of his father in the McCarthian 1950s. XIII learns that his father, Jonathan Fly, was murdered by the local Klansmen after they found out Fly's real identity was Jonathan McClane, a "red" journalist who had to flee after suffering under McCarthy's witch hunt. The Mongoose still tracks XIII with the blessing of McClane's assassins, but XIII evades the manhunt, gets justice for the murder of his father and manages to arrest the Mongoose, who reveals that he was on Number I's boat when he shot the bullet that made XIII amnesic, but divulges no further information about Number I. The story ends with XIII finally finding his true identity as Jason McClane.

In volume eight, XIII is approached by President Sheridan to become a special agent and is charged with finding Number I. The Mongoose escapes from custody. XIII tracks down Kim, guessing that she stayed in hiding because she knows Number I's identity. He discovers that one of the boats close to the spot where he was found amnesic is Sheridan's yacht. Meanwhile, Jones investigates further and discovers that Kim had a love child with Sheridan. After passing on this information to XIII, they become convinced that Sheridan was in fact Number I, and used the XX to have his brother killed and propel himself to the Presidency. Sheridan had the child kidnapped to force Kim to marry Rowland, to betray Jason when Heideger's plan threatened to expose him as Number I, and have him lured onto his yacht where XIII was shot by the Mongoose. After trying to release Kim from an island where they believe she is sequestered, XIII and Jones, along with Kim, are caught by the Mongoose, who sinks Sheridan's yacht with an explosive. XIII only manages to rescue Jones, and Kim is presumed dead.

XIII finally faces Sheridan, who has been exposed as Number I. XIII has no evidence or witness against him, however. Sheridan does not assassinate XIII to avoid a new investigation that might expose him, and XIII and Jones leave the country.

Volumes 9-13
In the following volumes, the action takes place in and around Costa Verde, a small fictional nation in Central America where XIII is led to believe he once led a revolution under the identity of "El Cascador", although El Cascador is supposedly dead. XIII gets involved with revolutionary Maria de los Santos, who claims to have been his wife. In the tenth volume, after freeing her from a prison from which she was awaiting execution, she confirms that he is her husband.

During the revolution, XIII meets an Irish-American expat, Sean Mullway, who claims to be XIII's real father and confirms that XIII is Jason McClane. The history of XIII's Irish descent is revealed, and XIII learns that his mother was the sister of NSA Director Giordino, who accidentally murdered her. The Giordinos are revealed to be a Mafia family. At the end of the volume, XIII is offered amnesty by the US ambassador, who explains that XIII's help is needed; Carrington has apparently gone insane.

In volume twelve, the corrupt President Sheridan is kidnapped by Carrington, who has learned that Sheridan ordered his daughter Kim's death. Carrington and Amos have XIII and Jones capture the Mongoose to get further evidence against Sheridan. In a televised "trial", Sheridan is revealed to the American public as Number I, with XIII and the Mongoose testifying. In the aftermath of the event, Sheridan kills the Mongoose, and Giordino accidentally kills Sheridan.

Volume thirteen, The XIII Mystery: The Investigation, is a special issue, where two journalists retrace the first twelve issues, clarifying and expanding the storyline.

Volumes 14-20
While in exile in Costa Verde, XIII and Mullway attempt to find a treasure hidden by their ancestors somewhere in Mexico. Giordino, meanwhile, fabricates evidence claiming that XIII is Seamus O'Neill, an IRA operative who trained under Fidel Castro. As O'Neill, XIII is wanted by the US government, but he again manages to escape. He also survives an assassination attempt by Irina Svetlanova, who has taken over the Mongoose's operation. After many setbacks, the treasure is found and then lost again. Meanwhile, Giordino is removed from duty by the new President, who has received evidence from XIII and Mullway revealing that Giordino is not only connected to the Mafia but also that he killed Sheridan.

Volumes eighteen and nineteen are the last written by Van Hamme. Volume eighteen, The Irish Version, was drawn by Jean Giraud, otherwise known as Mœbius. It features as a story within the story, and it is referred to as part of the plot along with The XIII Mystery in volume nineteen The Last Round. This is the prequel to the initial story arc, and it resolves all mysteries surrounding XIII's identity.

XIII has learned his identity, but his memories still have not returned. He seeks medical treatment to uncover them in volume twenty, but Mayflower Day, a secret organization, schemes to keep XIII from unblocking his memory, because of yet another secret in his past.

Popularity

XIII was released in 1984 as a serial in the popular Spirou magazine, and it was popular among Spirou readers.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Goatsefication

Looks like BJAODN. 03:15, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete unfunny neologism. Not worthy of BJAODN.  --Ardonik 05:24, Aug 1, 2004 (UTC)
 * How woefully unfunny. Delete. - Lucky 6.9 05:52, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Even funnier is the fact that the person who created it nominated it on WP:FAC.   [[Image:Cow.gif|User:Cow]] 06:05, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete - pointless, might just have well been made up by the contributor. Anything worth having on this 'topic' is already/should be at Goatse.cx. TPK 06:26, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete - this is either a neologism, original research, slang or a combination. Two google hits. Put it back in that place where the sun, surprisingly, does shine. --Ianb 10:10, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. The user seems to be related to User:Wiki is FREE, who has been blocked indefinitely for page move vandalism -- Chris 73 | Talk 12:24, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete - stupid. -- Cyrius|✎ 21:33, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
