Daniel Slater
Although his work in Third Eye required both an emotionally and mentally stable state of being, he became rather depressed and jaded at the fading prospect of liberation towards the middle of 2017. There were a flurry of thoughts running through his mind and he constantly mulled over whether anything he did should've been done differently; the Lucius Pierce situation, Operation Clean Slate, Bladecatcher, Spectator, the network intrusions, the incarceration and torture of more citizens than he cared to remember and many other things that the public would never truly comprehend. He felt as though he had failed his late brother Andrew of whom was the catalyst for Daniel taking up his line of work in the intelligence group Third Eye. Before fading into the background life of the City, he promised his employers to continue to watch over the many persons of interest in the hope that he would once again find the motivation to organise larger operations which he had previously participated in. The place he called home, the Asylum, gathered cobwebs and was resigned to the dustbin of City Forty Five's history. It would be a while before Daniel was called to arms in a remote region of the Ukraine which bordered Siberia. It was here that he would take up duties with the Task Group of Third Eye with some old friends from City Seventeen. In summary, he had done everything that was asked of him, and more but he continued to question his existence and to what purpose it served. All this, after being a university student, an intelligence officer for the Sector Seventeen Civil Authority, a mercenary, a courier, a contact, a friend and a brother. Having played both sides of the field in his time in various cities, he felt as though he was nothing but a shadow wandering among an all-pervading dusk.

Well, it's finally come to this. Some of you have known of my intention to leave for a while due to wanting to have a life now and move away from sitting at home in the same old routine every day. I hold nothing against Catalyst Gaming or anyone in it and I guess it's just time for me to move on to other things. Half Life roleplay has gotten stagnant for me and I've done everything that I set out to do. It has been quite the ride and I was happy to have played, mapped and administrated at Catalyst Gaming.

Some of you probably have some questions about what my departure will affect so I'll put it in an easy format:

1. What about the Civil Administration faction?
Reaver (Doctor Pierce Cullen) will lead it as Consul.

2. What about the map update?
I'm giving the map file to RTLK to modify and distribute as he pleases. I'll be on hand to provide assistance but finishing the map isn't a top priority for me at this stage.

3. Any chance of coming back?
Sure, if I ever finish rp_refuge or I get nostalgic. I'll probably only come back every now and then to check on how things are going.

4. Did something make you leave Catalyst?
Not really, it was just that I've done everything that I wanted to do here and I just feel as though I should move on. As with any community, Catalyst has its faults but they're something which can be fixed with time and they aren't to blame for my departure.

5. Usually when somebody leaves they have plans to leak details from the private forums. What are you going to leak?
I'm giving everyone group access to the private foru-.. Not really. Just going to leave peacefully and not cause drama.

6. I have another question, mind answering it for me?
Sure, post below and I'll do my best to answer.
