Amlan Satan (code-name: Storm-Shadow) is at the JFK airport (USA) as an undercover 'prince' and vendor of candy-cigarettes, dressed in an authentic Coronavirus-safe pirate costume, wandering around the incredible Western terminal.

He's been tracking a band of blood-diamond gargoyles as a vigilance-pirate with Interpol-relations and believes they're to place piracy-gems in the JFK safe-box area, requiring some kind of nifty heist/substitution to evade detection before Interpol-media's acquired readily.

STORM-SHADOW: I like collecting various baseball cards of the modern era (Bo Jackson, Tom Glavine, Chase Utley).

So, our protagonist vigilante-pirate (Storm-Shadow) is vending candy-cigarettes in the lavish terminal of the JFK-airport as a costumed pirate-adventurer and waiting to detect the blood-diamond shipment to be securely stored in the terminal safe-box area(s).

STORM-SHADOW: I've spotted a media-celebrity design-model (Isobel) in the terminal and don't want this damsel in crossfire!

Storm-Shadow darts to the terminal safe-box area during lunch-break for most employees/personnel of the West airport and uses a toy water-gun filled with corrosive acid (homemade from basic chemical components in the airport restroom-sinks!) to burn a hole into the blood-diamond safe-box and swaps the piracy-gems for toy diamonds before using duct-tape to cover the acid-burn hole and walking out the airport...with his candy-cigs.

Among the treasures Storm-Shadow lifted that day at JFK, a royal Romanian princess-ring (worth over $20M) was recovered, and it seemed to remind everyone of the 'dangers' amidst eye-view traffic in major hubs now linked to blood-diamond traffic from deadly/horrible 'conflict-zones' in Africa.

STORM-SHADOW: To rebuild infrastructural sanity after 9/11, we have to think about the 'design' behind West airport-dials.

This is a story of a modern sorcerer, a real-life James Bond, atop his 'dark chess' horse (alias, 'Nightmare') to create a special post-9/11 Western paradigm for absolute Homeland Security, alluding to the modern market/media 'demand' for valor-themed storytelling...and characters.
