Story::Lord Bafford inherits a gift-a mechanist servant. A few months later, the town is stirred with rumors of Lord Bafford's extreme wealth, and more importantly, Where did he get it?
A violent gang of thieves and thugs abducted Lord Bafford's Servant, and girlfriend with extortion in mind. They will stop at nothing to extort Bafford's secret to wealth. Lord Bafford has beefed up security, as he plans on keeping his tremendous fortune. Maybe his throne room will be of actual use to him someday? His eventual plan is to buy the city, and then the surrounding territories. With wealth comes problems, and of course corruption. With great wealth comes the burden of keeping it. I have no problem with helping him to lose it.
A city watchman caught me pinching a key, and I was thrown in jail. No problem, I will just escape and find out what secrets Lord Bafford is keeping. Sometimes rumors can be valuable.
Lord Bafford usually keeps journals, and probably has a book of secrets somewhere. Hopefully I can find it before the local thieves do. Maybe in his bedroom, or perhaps in one of his many counting rooms? Time to get going, as even rich men like Lord Bafford can lose all that he holds dear to him in just one night.
The Idea behind the Story:: This being based on the first mission in the Dark Project, was also my first love. At the end of all things since "Return to Bafford Manor" TG, I close my fm hobby.
As soon as I can say, I am blind, but can see, I will return to this hobby someday, or maybe not. Long Live Thief! My plan just a few months ago was to revise all 16 of my fms using New Dark, but the dream has been lost. I sincerely thank everyone in TTLG, and Shalebridge Cradle, and Thiefmissions, and Brethren at SouthQuarter for their devotion to a game I have loved for years. Now you see me, now you don't would have made a great story, but the later has come. Goodbye everyone !

Garrett arrives at the Mechanist Sect's Asteroid where they have set up a deadly particle beam known as the Purple People Eater. The beam is on Lord Bafford, and his Bankers. Their goal is to control the humans on earth to eventually destroy them, then after, every planet in the galaxy. The beams have power to control will, greed, and the eco system which will eventually destroy the food source and water source on the planet earth. Garrett discovers Lord Bafford's Secret to his enormous wealth, along with the plot to force Lord Bafford to fall. The Mechanist gift, as servant turned out to be just a door opener to control Lord Bafford, then the World. Meantime Lord Bafford still holds a lot of loot in the Swiss bank accounts.(

Garrett destroys the Purple People Eater particle beams, and temporarily disrupts the Mechanist Sect's plan to destroy Lord Bafford, the Banking system, and the fall of Planet Earth. Garrett leaves the city with mission accomplished, and now is able to pay his rent for a while longer. Garrett once again has proven to be a hero, and has saved the world from doom. The fate of Lord Bafford remains a mystery.(
