The Raven's response to the closing of the communication channels was both swift and violent, as befitted a man of his reputation and cunning.

The actions of the British Prime Minister and his minions was both naive and stupid. They were behaving like children playing outside of their safe environment, foolish and ignorant about the repercussions of their actions. The Raven would temper them, teach them and finally, he would have them submit and bowing down before him.

He called his killers to heel and gave the order to unleash death. A week later, several seemingly unconnected incidents took place in different parts of the globe. The first was the bombing of a BOAC passenger airliner travelling from London Airport to St. Helier, Jersey in the Channel Islands. The flight 767 attack was later judged by counter-terrorism experts to be one of the first cases of air terrorism in the post-war era. The flight came down fifteen minutes after take-off, with wreckage being strewn far and wide along the coast of Dover. There were no survivors.

Several days later, the body of a baggage handler who'd worked at London airport was found stabbed to death in his flat in Bermondsey. His uniform and security identification were missing. They too were later found, discarded in a dustbin a mile away from the airport, the bomber having dumped them during his escape.

That same day in Panama City, several well-dressed young men carrying concealed automatic rifles entered the Global Tower Bank on the Via Espana. The bank was part-British owned and up until recently, one of its senior directors had been the British Prime Minister. The gunmen entered around mid-morning, the busiest part of the day, when the customers were lined up waiting for individual tellers to serve them. The killers stood in a small, tight circle in the centre of the room and opened fire. Bullets penetrated both glass and flesh. When the gunmen's magazines were emptied, they each took out a handgun and set about executing any wounded survivors before they casually walked out of the bank to several waiting escape vehicles. The whole hit had taken no more than three minutes. Police would be baffled as to why no money had been stolen during the attack.

A day later in Tokyo, several bodies were fished out of the Sumida River. They were all men in their early thirties and all had connections to several organisations within the Japanese underworld. Most recently, the victims had worked together as part of a security detail to transport a high-value shipment across land from Tokyo to an undisclosed location. The men had been rounded up and all had their throats slit. It was assumed that one of them had been an informant for the police, or a rival gang, perhaps an intelligence service – who knew? The fact that all the men were executed only confirmed the killers were both thorough and cautious. After all, why take the risk that you'd killed the wrong man? Better to kill all involved to make absolutely sure.
