Disclaimer: We here at Red Cell wish to inform our hostages that although we do not own Section One or any of its agents nor their lives, we will continue to hold it hijacked off and on until our demands are met. We ask no ransom, we gain no monetary fundage by such actions, but we feel that our message must be heard by the general public.

As a side note.. our recent hostile takeover of the Japanese precept known as 'Nerima' and our drafting of its premier citizenry is also without fore-knowledge by the proper authorities. We shall return their dried-out carcasses after our true purpose has been revealed.

This story is a crossover of the anime Ranma 1/2 with the program that aired for a while on the USA Channel for american cable called "La Femme Nikita". For those of you with no prior knowledge of that show and who don't mind a spoiler continue reading through this letter for a background on the show and how it relates to my story.

One final note before you continue on to read the story.. the main archive for my works will be at http://www.akraen.com but currently my server is down. It should be back up (until the next time it crashes) by 08/28/01. Anyone who wishes to host this fic may feel free with only three rules.

(1) Please let me know where it's hosted at so I can visit and see what else you have archived.

(2) Please do not change anything on the text without first receiving authorization from me.

(3) Eventually my site should be up and server problem-free. I request that you post a link to my site somewhere on your own so that readers who want to see what else I have written may do so without having to rely on archivers being fully up to date with my work.

Now on with the background info...

Background for "La Femme Nikita":

There is a covert intelligence agency named 'Section' whose goal is the maintenance of a free and happy world. Their desire is admirable but their means are ruthless. They recruit operatives against the person's will in most cases, typically by simulating the victim's death. Once you are in the 'Section' the only escape is death. 'Section' itself is split into different units. The series LFN centers on the unit 'Section 1'.

Characters from LFN who appear in LFR:

Nikita (Ranma's trainer)

She was the main character of this series and changed dramatically during the course of the show. The original storyline had her framed for a murder she didn't commit and taken into section without being given any other choice. During the early episodes she really struggled with her morals and what she was being forced to become. But the one thing about her character that remained true throughout the multi-year series was her caring for others.

Michael (Nikita's sig. other/trainer)

Throughout the show, Michael and Nikita had an off and on relationship which was detrimented by Michael's lack of openness and the stress of being section operatives.

Walter (Section 1's weaps/ordinance man)

With a gruff exterior and a heavy dose of flirtatious manner with the ladies, but an inner warmth and kindness that reminds you of your favorite uncle, Walter was Nikita's confidant during her time in section. He tells her that inside section it is every man for himself, but when it counts he is there with a comforting shoulder or aid in covering her.

Birkohf (Section 1's tech guru/tactical support expert)

He grew up in section and never knew any other kind of life. He had a crush on Nikita but the two stayed with a friendly relationship for the most part. He's also the youngest member of section for most of the series.

Operations (Section 1's commander of operations)

Operations seems to care only for two things during his tenure as chief of section 1.. mission success regardless of the cost.. and Madeline. He wouldn't hesitate to order even his best agents shot if it meant an epediant end to a mission. Eventually he accepted the relationship between Nikita and Michael without trying to manipulate it.. but only after he realized it was nearly impossible to break it up.

Madeline (Section 1's head psychologist/interrogator)

Madeline maintained a relationship with Paul (Operations) for the duration of their joint tenure as leaders of section but tried to avoid letting anyone understand whether it was for personal reasons or simply to boost his moral. She was the master manipulator of Section 1 and seemed to switch sides at random until the eventual effects were shown to have accomplished her goals.

Hope you have a better understanding of the plot behind this story. Feel free to respond with any questions, comments, or criticisms as my box is always open to readers. I would especially love to hear what everyone's reactions are to the current stopping point in the series, chapter 5.
