Milestone Rogues

GUNNAR KLOKBERG

Born during the winter of 1989 in Belgium, Gunnar was orphaned at age 6 following the unfortunate death of both of his parents in a car accident involving all three of them. Gunnar made it out of the wreck but with serious injuries. Gunnar’s grandparents, who lived in the states, took him in and raised him through his adolescence until he got a degree in psychology and decided to join the US marines at age 24.
After coming home from 3 tours, 2 in Afghanistan and one in the invasion of Iraq, Gunnar got bored with regular life, having gotten used to the adrenaline and the rush of active combat and sought out to get his blood pumping some other way.
As Gunnar did some military consultancy work for the movie industry, he decided to use some of his expertise and skills to become a stunt actor. His connection with cars, loving and fearing them at the same time, was the start of a semi-professional V8-series racing career which gave him the opportunity to hone his skills for stunt acting.
On the set of one particular movie where he was cast as the stunt double for the male role in a spy couple movie, he met the love of his life, Nina, who was cast as his female counterpart. Their synergy and love for eachother made them the absolute top of the class when it came to stunt doubles acting.

 

NINA KLOKBERG

Nina was born in the summer of ‘89 to the widow of a US Marine. Her father, Lt. Col. Howard was killed in action during the US invasion of Panama. After completing college, Nina decided to follow in her father’s footsteps and join the US military. She honed her skills and excelled in Army Combatives. While Nina was overseas on deployment to Iraq, some members of her squad, including herself, kept journals of their experience. When the journals were purchased to write a screenplay, she was asked to play herself in the movie. As a former US soldier, she was thrilled to partake and grew a love for performing stunts on the big screen. This love led her to her one true love, Gunnar Klokberg. They met on the set of a movie that paired them together as the stunt doubles for a spy couple. Together they dominated the stunt world throughout the movie industry. 

 

MILESTONE

Milestone Productions was a movie production company for which both Nina and Gunnar had completed numerous projects as stunt actors. Milestone Productions had always turned to the duo whenever there was a requirement for a male and female partner role.

Nina and Gunnar had synergy beyond just a professional acting level, they were husband and wife, which allowed them to perform in perfect harmony with each other under any circumstances.

 

ROGUES

After losing their income from their roles as stunt doubles and actors due to an industry-wide strike, Nina and Gunnar decided to find alternative ways to make money. Drawing from their experience gained from their profession as stunt actors in the movies, they decided to implement some of that experience and expertise into real-life scenarios. Bank robberies, spectacular heists, high-speed chases, these were just a few examples of what they had in mind for their future. As they left their legal roots and ventured into less-than-legal operations, they considered themselves as legal actors who had “gone rogue”.

 

MILESTONE ROGUES

After months of being unemployed with no projects, no payslips being paid out, a lot of outstanding debt and witnessing new movie projects being funded by the fatcats to be entered into production as soon as operations resumed, yet, nobody within their community being willing to help Nina and Gunnar out financially, they decided to write a movie script themselves.

 

Nina and Gunnar thought up a movie script for a massive central bank heist involving cunning tactics and strategies, high-tech modern weaponry, explosives and custom-made armored vehicles, fully tailored to their exact specifications, just like they would’ve wanted them when actively deployed for military duty.

The duo managed to convince the production studio to look into the project and soon after, funding was secured and procurement for the props could commence. Unbeknownst to production executives, this screenplay was just a ploy to get funding for their real goal, an extreme bank heist funded by the smug production company.
All of the gear, vehicles, firearms and explosives that were purchased to serve as props and equipment during filming were in fact as real as they get. Real firearms, real armor, real explosives.
When everything was procured and ready to start filming, Nina and Gunnar committed the spectacular bank heist they wrote up in the script in real life the day before the initial production day, robbing the bank empty and running off with millions in cash that was laundered through several off-shore shell companies and then deposited safely into their Swiss bank account.

You see, once production resumed after the hiatus from the strike, Nina and Gunnar realized the true uncaring nature of the movie industry and its infamous personalities and decided to send them a message and make enough money to move and start their own “production company” in Los Santos.

 

While Nina and Gunnar have turned to a life of crime and violence, in their hearts, they remain entertainers and want to provide Los Santos with a different type of show than they’re used to, a way of life fit for the big screen.

VALUES

Respect-Respect is something that should be given to someone until they’ve proven unworthy of it.

Courage-Courage is an absolute must for Rogues. Courageous people are those who face their fears to do something that may be heroic, dangerous or difficult. Courage is not an absence of fear, it is staring that fear in the face and continuing the mission. 

Diplomacy-Diplomacy is the essence of a successful organization. It is the key to progression and success. It is a fundamental force for any Rogue in command and should be exuded in all members.

Loyalty-Loyalty is a sense of duty or of devoted attachment to something or someone. The Milestone Rogues are a family devoted to each other and the success of the organization. Rogues support each other, building camaraderie and cohesion amongst the group.

RESPECT

For the Rogues, respect is of the utmost importance when conducting themselves and interacting with eachother and outsiders. Each and every individual or organisation we encounter will enjoy our respect, until that person or organisation proves they’re not worthy of it.
In practice, this means every Rogue is expected to adopt a neutral attitude during initial encounters, respecting what others are up to and the business they’re trying to conduct. Rogues are respectful in nature, they should never be rudely interrupting negotiations or attempting to impose themselves or their ideals onto others.When Rogues are met with the same level of respect by outsiders, those outsiders can expect to be treated well and fairly in the future by the Milestone Rogues.

COURAGE

The Milestone Rogues are expected to conduct themselves in a courageous manner. A Rogue should aspire to never be swayed from progressing because of fear. Courage does not mean absence of fear, however, it means facing that fear, analyzing risk and objectively judging whether something will yield positive results and then proceeding accordingly.

In practice, Rogues are expected to take calculated risks, to not shy away from dangerous situations, but instead are expected to take in the parameters and conditions of a situation and proceed if the equation makes sense. A 6 meter long jump across rapids on a motorcycle might cause a sense of fear, however, if the physics make sense then fear should not be a limiting factor.

LOYALTY

Members of the Milestone Rogues progress through a series of trials that test their skills, character and commitment. It is a comparatively long process to become a Milestone Rogue, however, once one does, it is for life.
Loyalty to the organisation is expressed through every action, from not reveiling secrets, to ensuring all individual proceeds generated through activities are processed to maximize the benefits to the organisation.

In practice, Milestone Rogues are expected to look past short term benefits for themselves and focus on the long-term and sustainable benefits which the organisation and its members will enjoy. Things such as instant gratification or quick gains are not something a Rogue should be striving towards.

DIPLOMACY

The Milestone Rogues strive to be the most diplomatic organisation within Los Santos.Despite being a deadly sin, Rogues pride themselves on their level of diplomacy.Rogues believe that negotiation always yields better results than violence, and therefore can be trusted to be approachable regarding concerns, trusted to be open to negotiating an agreement that benefits all parties, in order to resolve conflict in a non-violent manner.

The Milestone Rogues aim to be the most reliable, solid, trustworthy, no-nonsense ally one could have in Los Santos.

In practice, Milestone Rogues will never attempt to deceive or defraud. They will conduct themselves with honor and with mutually beneficial goals.

After some meetings and discussions about hosting a community wide event, the Rogues finally decided that a car show would be the best way to introduce themselves to Los Santos. Of course, this wouldn’t be just any car show; the Rogues would host a movie themed car show. They decided that all car show entries would be judged based on the vehicle’s resemblance to one seen in a movie. This meant that even the cheapest car on the market could be the winner if the car could be recognized. The Rogues also decided that they would showcase a few famous cars, themselves, at the event. 

Once the idea was in place they began planning the event and networking with other businesses. Gunnar and Nina drove over to LSC and asked to speak to the owner, Liam. After the initial introductions were made, they began talking to him about their idea for the show and asked if LSC would be interested in sponsoring the event and provide on site repairs during the show. The owner seemed beyond thrilled to participate and left them with his contact information for future correspondence. 

Since the Rogues wanted to provide a showcase of their own cars, as well as provide a car to be raffled, they reached out and spoke to the owner of Motorsport. They excitedly explained the idea for the show and provided a list of the cars they had in mind for the showcase. James Erikson said he would look over the list and get back to Gunnar with an offer. The Klokbergs eagerly awaited a response. A few days later, Gunnar received the highly anticipated text. He called out to the Rogues and asked them all to meet up at the Green Room. He shared the news that James had given them a great deal on their order and had everyone pile into two cars and take a trip to Motorsport to pick up the cars. Everyone got into a car and drove over to LSC to have the cars made up for the show. 

The next task at hand was to promote the show by handing out flyers and selling raffle tickets. The Klokbergs decided to give a prize to the Rogue who sold the most raffle tickets for the Elegy Retro Custom. Each member showed their dedication and excitement as they went around town selling tickets. It seemed slow at first but with each set of tickets sold the Rogues welled up with more enthusiasm and charisma than before. The healthy internal competition not only helped build the camaraderie among the Rogues, but also brought in enough funds to cover the cost of the event. 

At long last, the day had arrived for the show to take place. Gunnar and Nina drove to the site and oversaw as the stage and equipment was set up. As other Rogues began to arrive, they were asked to provide support for different areas of the show. Each member proudly took their place to guide the patrons throughout the show. The show was well under way when Gunnar and Nina took a moment to step back and take in the experience. They were astounded at the amazing turnout for what they thought was a simple event. So many people arrived to show support for the Rogues and everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time. As Gunnar and Nina walked around to judge the cars they could see the excitement each participant had and the commitment they took to making their car the best movie car on the lot. It made it difficult to pick a winner so they decided to pick a runner up as well. With the winners picked and announced, the Rogues said farewell to the patrons and began clearing the set, smiling proudly at the success.

It wasn’t long after Nina and Gunnar had woken up, gone through their morning rituals and had gotten their day started with some conversations with the Rogues at the Green Room when Gunnar received a phonecall.Gunnar looked at his phone and thought to himself “Weird, I thought I had turned that off.”, then answered the call.“Speak”“Hey, Gunnar, hello, it’s ****** do you remember me?”Gunnar immediately recognized the voice and confirmed.“******, of course I remember you, how are you?”“I am well, thanks, say, Gunnar, do you still have any of those things?”Gunnar remembered selling a bag full of suppressed .50 pistols to ****** a couple weeks prior.“Yes, of course, how many do you need?”“How many do you have?”Gunnar smiled to himself briefly and replied.“Plenty.”“Oh, could I get 12? Same price as before?”Gunnar looked at Nina, who looked up at him and smiled.“Yeah that works for us, bank in 10.”“Okay, see you soon.” Gunnar ended the phonecall and looked at Nina, informing her of the deal that was just struck. Nina nodded, the duo got in the car and drove off to their warehouse.Once there, they put on a fresh pair of gloves and put together a bag with 12 .50 Pistols, 600 .50 AE ammo and 12 Suppressors. Each item was cleaned carefully with a microfibre cloth, ensuring there would be no prints on the equipment that could lead back to them. With the bag packed, the duo left their warehouse and proceeded to make their way to the drop point. At the point, Gunnar got out and Nina got behind the wheel of the car, driving off towards the bank to meet ****** and handle the payment, leaving Gunnar at the drop point with the bag. Gunnar entered the building and made his way inside, taking a seat at one of the tables. Gunnar sat for a while, calmly observing the environment. When the radiocall came in that the payment was secured and the buyer was on their way, Gunnar grabbed the bag and made his way to the restroom, where he dropped the bag in one of the stalls. Gunnar exited the building and crossed the street, hiding behind the corner of another building, keeping an eye on the front door of the establishment where he left the bag full of firearms. Nina gave a description of the clothes the buyer was wearing and which vehicle they were driving over the radio and it wasn’t long until an individual matching that description arrived at the drop point. Gunnar watched over as the buyer entered the building and shortly after exited with the bag in their left hand. Gunnar nodded to himself and made a radiocall to Nina to confirm the drop was succesful and where to pick him up.

Soap and another Rogue were hanging out at Burgershot, chatting with some old friends from Empire about business. One of the Empire members called over a few others, including Romeo Knight. Romeo introduced them to his partner, who was having a birthday party at Vespucci Beach in an hour. He extended an invitation to all the Milestone Rogues. That evening, the Milestone Rogues arrived at Vespucci Beach, parking their cars together in a neat row. The party was in full swing, with lively music and dancing, and everyone enjoying the beach atmosphere. The Rogues joined in, making new friends, forming connections, and soaking in the fun. After dancing the night away and having a fantastic time, the Milestone Rogues decided it was time to leave. They said goodbye to their new friends and drove off to handle some business. The party had been the perfect blend of fun and networking, strengthening the bond between the two groups.

The Rogues got their errands sorted with the friends on 2 wheels, then decided to look for any sign of a functional drug lab. They caught word of "sealabs” being open and available with tables ready for use. Swinging in discretely high from the mountains and approaching with caution, they find a corpse laying next to a busted and broken down white four-door car. “Interesting”
After a brief discussion and investigation into the amount of activity flowing through the lab, the rogues decided to put these tables to use. With all the necessary ingredients acquired, Pablo and The Rogues set up the tables, carefully loading up all the ingredients in the correct order, ensuring not to spill any materials. An efficient and well organised cook off is started by the group as Pablo decides upon setting up a good vantage point for scouting, keeping his friends well up to date on anyone passing by while the cook is in progress.

It all goes successful and without a hitch as it gets to Pablo's turn to take to the tables... Knowing these recipes off by heart, he gets multiple batches of Cocaine and Crack started. Time goes by and the activity to sealabs accelerates rapidly.
A pair of masked gentlemen fly over the bridge headed straight towards the lab in a Paragon. No hesitation from the two as they roll up and ask "Who you with?" "You guys picking plants?" "Waiting on a drop?" None of us could get much back from the masked men, clearly they are looking more for someone and not something... This all may be linked to the corpse previously found. 

With the clean and effective comms built between all the Rogues and the diplomatic and respectful approach towards everyone entering the lab, Pablo gets his batches finished.. Involving many trips back and forth to his bike, securing the drugs and ready to bolt up the mountains clear of any trouble.

The Rogues were excited to discover a new location hidden from the public eye where they could set up to do more cooking shows. Several of them gathered their supplies and met up at the location. Soap was the first to go in while the others kept watch outside to protect the integrity of the recording. Everything was quiet on the set with seemingly no paparazzi or fans to disturb the show. 

Suddenly, a car pulls up and the Rogues greet them with kindness outside the front door. They carry on a friendly conversation for a bit then the driver of the car bids the Rogues farewell and drives away.
The Rogues continue the show and rotate cooks until it’s finally Gunnar’s turn. Nina takes her place in the driver’s seat of the car while he enters and begins his cook. At this time, the activity around the set had seemingly picked up causing the Rogues around the perimeter to stay vigilant in their watch. 
Just as Gunnar finished cooking and began to exit the set, Nina saw two cars approaching quickly. She called out to the Rogues about the visitors and told Gunnar to quickly get in the back as she sped off past the approaching vehicles. 
As they cleared the scene they heard Soap over the radio saying that the visitors had pulled a gun on her as she tried to leave. After ensuring that everyone was okay, Gunnar and Nina returned to the area attempting to find out the scope of the encounter. They ran into a white Issi who was able to tell them that their High Command was available to meet them at their HQ. They went straight there and radioed for Willy to join them.
Introductions were made amongst the group and values and expectations were shared. By the end of the meeting the two groups seemed eager to form a working partnership and left with the anticipation of another meeting in the near future.

Willy had been brainstorming ideas for the Milestone Rogues to host an event in Los Santos. After some consideration, he thought of organizing an end-of-summer beach party near his home in Vespucci Beach. Ever since purchasing his house in Vespucci, Willy had been very pleased with the area, which had many appealing features. It was located right next to the beach boardwalk and within walking distance of the sand. Additionally, the crime rate seemed to be lower, and the area offered a peaceful atmosphere with a beautiful view.

With the collaboration of the other Rogues, the idea to throw a beach party took shape. The event would incorporate elements related to their movie production company, aiming to generate revenue for future projects. The key components of the vision included a summer party with a "Jaws" theme, featuring a beach barbecue, a movie screening of "Jaws" where guests could float on tubes and various other floats in the ocean, and live DJ entertainment by DJ Quiet. They also decided to hold a raffle for a Seashark Jetski and a Comet S2 Cabrio to boost revenue and fund the party. A creative idea was introduced: instead of charging an entry fee, guests would be asked to donate one or more articles of clothing to the costume department, which would help bolster the inventory for future theater projects.

Willy was tasked with leading the event and quickly reached out to the producers for insight. He also planned a meeting to delegate tasks to ensure the event's success. Jo Slim volunteered to create the artwork for the posters, which proved vital to the party's advertising campaign. Soap took charge of managing the Weazel Ads. Nina and Gunnar offered to help with event decorations, securing sponsors such as LSEMS Lifeguards and Motorsports for the raffle prizes, and purchasing jetskis for guest rentals. The rest of the Rogues were responsible for promoting the event through word of mouth and selling as many raffle tickets as possible.

In the week leading up to the event, everything was progressing smoothly. Ads and posters were up, and word of mouth about the event was spreading rapidly. Raffle ticket sales were increasing, and the minor details of the event were all falling into place. Willy promoted the event several times through LifeInvader and encouraged the rest of the Milestone Rogues to increase their online activity as well. In the final days leading up to the event, Willy even crossed paths with Solomon Cobb, an independent alternative news source from CobbBlog. Mr. Cobb was excited about the Rogues' event and agreed to help promote it on his #CobbBlog page on LifeInvader.

The day of the event finally arrived, and during preparations, the Rogues noticed that many guests were already trying to show up hours before the event started. Willy confirmed the DJ booking, and DJ Quiet made a grand entrance, landing her aircraft on the beach. The excitement was palpable, and everyone in the Rogues could sense that the event would be a success. In the last 15 minutes before the event officially began, so many guests had arrived early that they were forced to start the entry process ahead of schedule, quickly collecting clothing donations and selling raffle tickets. Willy was frantically running around, wanting to ensure everything was going smoothly. Phil Russo, Nina, and Gunnar manned the tents at the entrance, while Soap, Matt, Denny, and Pablo managed the food and drink tables. DJ Quiet, like a pro, was already set up and had music blasting across the beach.

There were many familiar and unfamiliar faces, reflecting the large diversity among the guests. The Milestone Rogues were showered with compliments throughout the event. Even as the party began to wind down, a large number of guests continued to enjoy themselves, keeping the afterparty going even after the raffle prizes were announced.

The Rogues couldn't have chose a better day to host another event for the city... A Beach Party! The sun was blistering, barely a cloud in the sky. Just the right amount of ocean breeze to cool you right back down again too. So much time and effort put into preparation from Gunnar, Nina and Willy who directed this from the very start. An amazing stage, props and structures obtained through the many contacts held from past movie productions. The Rogues went all out, even renting Jetskis and Dinghys out to broaden our activities further. A huge screening of Jaws to enjoy as the sun drops later into the night.
20 minutes to go. Everyone quickly gets to their post, Pablo taking one of the 2 bars, fully stocked with meat and drink. He counts through the stock, any discrepencies swiftly resolved with Matt and Soap both manning the other bar area.
10 minutes til the party starts, a Heli can be heard in the distance, slowing approaching and dropping to the beachfront. A grand entrance for DJ Quiet arriving on the decks, The entertainment is set! Lets make it another first class night!
Beach Party is underway! Drinks are flowing, The dance moves are on point and the glow sticks come out! Watching from afar, The Rogues get that sense of achievement, a proud moment for all to have given the city yet another positive event for the whole city to briefly forget everything else and to simply enjoy the good times!.. But lets not finish it here!!...
It comes to our raffle, the prizes of a Jetski and a Comet S2 for 2 very lucky people who got themselves a ticket. The winners are announced: Lester Conway for the Jetski and Jay Valentino for the Comet S2. A surreal buzz can be felt throughout the night and with it coming to an end without a hitch.. We are confident the city sleeps very well tonight!

Denny Swartz woke up on Friday a little later than he expected to, having slept in he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes n only one thing popped into his mind... BEACH PARTY! He rushed to get his radio on but didnt hear any chatter from the others, realizing they must all be together at the party, he decides he wants to surprise everyone by just showing up. He rushed outside his apartment and took a look on his gps to see the blip MR party in Vespucci. He rushed to his car and tried his best not to get pulled over for speeding on his way there. As he gets closer he sees all the decorations and booths set up to intake the party goers and take there piece of clothing for entry, the excitement starts to boil over as he pulls closer, the first person he sees is Willy standing there and as he says hello both Matt and Soap come over the radio in excitement "Whaaaat is that Denny?!" "Holy crap Denny Finally made it!!" Having the surprise arrival go off well made him feel good, he then apologized to Willy for not helping with the very beginning but asked what he could do now. After some instruction Denny heads inside past Phil, Gunnar and Nina saying a quick hello in passing as they were tending to guest arrival and raffle ticket sales. Denny sees Pablo is the only one helping guests get food and drinks at the time so he decides that he would help with that area of the party. Before the party got started he decides to go pick up the new boat he had purchased the day before, a Lampadati Toro, and drive it over to the party to let guests drive it around and have a memorable place to hang out at the party.

Upon arriving back at the beach, the party was starting, guests were entering in there best beach attire with good vibes, DJ Quiet starts her set and has the place bumping in no time with many guests dancing on the beach. Pablo and Denny worked together to get the guests all the alcohol food and water they wanted and eventually Matt came over and helped for a bit too. Once it seemed like the line wasnt as big Denny decided to take to the party and mingle with the guests and thank them for coming. He rode around on his boat and then danced for next hour with alot of people. Willy decides with the party at its peak to go ahead and announce the raffle winners. The winners rejoice in their victories and DJ Quiet resumes her set and the party goers danced for a few more hours enjoying themselves and mingling together. After many hours of dancing the party starting to come to a close DJ Quiet then came off stage and brought out a piano to play, she played some very melodic tunes and then started a song guessing contest with prizes for the winners, the remaining party goers had a blast yelling out names to the songs sometimes yelling very funny bad guesses. As the hour drew late Gunnar and Nina came over and said they were gonna go to bed and then announced to the party they were leaving and thanking everyone for the great turnout and good vibes. Denny stays for a bit longer but then grabs the crates of clothes and left over food and beverages and has Phil, Matt and Soap take him and help with storing them. As the night came to a close he reminisced with them all on how well everythin went and how proud we were of a job well done.

The Milestone Rogues gathered at their usual spot, the Green Room, to plan the upcoming beach party. This wasn’t just any party; it was the brainchild of Willy, their Director, and a well-known idea man within their ranks. As the group settled in, roles were assigned. Soap, always one to step up when it counted, volunteered to handle the advertising. The date was set, and the group dispersed, each member taking on their responsibilities to ensure the event's success over the next two weeks.

Willy, excited about his vision, had Weazel News create an advertisement for the party. However, when Soap saw the ad, she knew it was missing something crucial—the Milestone Rogues’ signature flair. The ad, while decent, didn’t capture the essence of their group. Determined to make sure the party reflected who they were, Soap took it upon herself to revamp the ad. She infused it with their signature colors and added important details about the event, making sure it stood out and spoke directly to their community. With the new ad in place, the countdown to the beach party began.

Halfway through the planning, The Producers threw in an unexpected twist..a contest. Whoever sold 250 raffle tickets would be rewarded with an extra $250,000. The room buzzed with excitement as the challenge was announced, but Soap remained calm. She had her own plans to take the contest by storm, quietly strategizing while others chatted about their plans.

As night fell, Soap began her silent campaign. While most of the group rested, Soap was relentless. For nearly eight hours straight, she scoured the city, selling raffle tickets with unwavering determination. She refused to stop until she hit her goal. By the time the sun rose, Soap had already sold over $300,000 worth of tickets, far surpassing the initial target. The following day, she added another $200,000 to her total, sealing her victory. Her out of the box sales techniques and sheer tenacity left her competitors far behind, with many only realizing she was even in the contest after it was too late.

With the raffle contest behind her, Soap turned her focus back to ensuring the beach party would be a success. She coordinated with Weazel News to make sure the revamped ads were running frequently, adding last-minute details about the cost of entry and event times. The buzz around the party grew, and anticipation was high.
Finally, the day of the party arrived. The beach was alive with energy as members of the Milestone Rogues manned booths and greeted guests with enthusiasm. The atmosphere was electric, with music, laughter, and the sound of waves creating the perfect backdrop for the night’s festivities. Soap watched with satisfaction as friends were made, connections strengthened, and the Milestone Rogues’ reputation solidified. The event was a resounding success, and everyone knew it. As the night wound down, the group reflected on their hard work and celebrated not just the party, but the teamwork and dedication that had made it all possible.

[pixiejewels]

A typical day to start for the Rogues, car shows and cooking classes conducted, barely breaking a sweat.. Then comes the time to have a meeting scheduled with a recently formed group called The Alliance. 

This group, people already well established within their highest command; Ed Timpson and Buster Grimes look to make introductions among us and other organisations. With knowing several of The Alliance members already, the initial meeting went swimmingly, All smiles and jokes there while at the same time understanding each others future goals and plans.
There lies what becomes an amazing opportunity for the Rogues and such an appreciative proposition from The Alliance. With the vast knowledge Ed, Buster and other Alliance members have regarding Bank Heists, An offering made to us in carrying out "dress rehearsals" of a bank heist. The Rogues without hesitation all agree together. A phone call made not long after to Ed accepting this rehearsal.
We all arrive to their headquarters and are escorted inside, where its very quick and clear to see they are not messing around! A stage with multiple sets made, mimmicing the complete interior of a Fleeca Bank! The Rogues applaud and very impressed with their attention to detail. A great production stage made we would say.
The Alliance begin giving the Rogues a full run down top to bottom of the entire operation, going through roles and responsibilities. Listening attentively the Rogues discuss briefly their strengths and weaknesses before taking up roles they wish to gain more experience in, to better the whole op treating the dress rehearsal like the show is just about to start!
Multiple rehearsals then were made. Small errors made while taking these as learning experiences and growing their confidence. Roles switched, More knowledge obtained.
The Alliance happy with what they see, start looking to put on the final show that night but the audience might not be available for witnessing as much as necessary.
We couldn't thank The Alliance enough for this opportunity, with such praise and appreciation plus the growth in both organisations bond, they part ways with a clear mindset for a future show definitely to be arranged!

The Milestone Rogues, a seemingly legitimate business front with criminal ties, received an unexpected communication from the Bratva, another organization that maintained a veneer of legality while engaging in illicit activities. The Bratva's Command proposed a meeting, requesting a face-to-face gathering to discuss potential alliances. The Rogues, intrigued and cautious, agreed to the proposal. A date was set, and the meeting was scheduled to take place the following day at the Red Star Gentleman's Club, a neutral ground known for its discretion.

A date was set, and the meeting was scheduled to take place the following day at the Red Star Gentleman's Club, a neutral ground known for its discretion. As discussions progressed, the two groups explored potential common ground. Both sides spoke of loyalty, honor, and their respective codes of conduct. The conversation meandered through differences and shared interests, sometimes in agreement, other times in polite acknowledgment of divergence. Throughout the exchange, the atmosphere shifted in subtle ways. It was difficult to discern how the other side truly felt as words were chosen carefully, intentions wrapped in a veil of professionalism. In the end, pleasantries were exchanged, and the meeting was concluded with promises to stay in touch. Whether this gathering would yield an alliance, a rivalry, or something else entirely was left unclear. Only time would reveal the true impact of this encounter.

It was a busy week for the Rogues filled with spooktacular events, new interns to trial and promote, and normal day to day activities. Luckily the Rogues still found time to relax and enjoy the festivities around town.

Another busy week lay ahead for the Rogues as they prepared for the upcoming talent show. Along with the hustle and bustle of daily business, the Rogues worked toward making this the best talent show Los Santos had ever seen. They loaded up the limo set out toward the most known local hang outs. As each person exited the limo, they walked purposefully toward the patrons and excitedly began talking about the show. Gunnar and Nina were delighted at the number of pre-registrations and raffle tickets they had already sold

While out one day promoting the show and encouraging more talent to register and partake, Nina and Gunnar were approached by three different people saying that they had seen the enthusiasm from everyone about the upcoming show and they wanted to sponsor the show with a monetary donation. The Klokbergs were surprised and ecstatic at the offer and happily followed them to the bank. When they arrived back at Bayview another person said they wanted to sponsor by offering another vehicle for them to raffle at the event.
On Thursday night the Klokbergs met at the Sisyphus Theater and began setting up the stage for the upcoming event. They went through the list of participants and made sure to have all of the equipment requested for each performance. They then set up the lights and an area backstage for the performers to relax and get ready for the show. Once night fell, the teal a purple glow emanated beautifully from the stage. The two looked at each other and nodded, satisfied with their work and went to get some rest before the big show.
As the crowd began to arrive the Rogues each took on a task to ensure the show went on smoothly. While some of them were at the registration and ticket booths, there were others backstage helping the performers prepare for the show. When the clock struck, Nina walked out to welcome everyone to the show and introduce Soap as the MC while Gunnar sat in front to help judge the show. As each performance was broadcast to the crowd, Nina and Gunnar were making notes of who to contact for future appearances. Once the show had ended and the winners announced Gunnar met Nina backstage. They looked at each other and smiled pleased about the close of another successful production by the Rogues.

After another successful event, the Rogues enjoyed a semi restful weekend, but come Monday it is was back to business. As Gunnar and Nina began processing logistics and assigning pay for the work that had been done, Gunnar’s phone rang. He looked at the caller then up to his wife smiling before answering, “Hello. Yes we can be there in about 5 minutes. Okay, see you then.” Gunnar said as he hung up the phone. He tole Nina who the call was from and that they needed to head to the Green Room right away. 

As they pulled up, they saw black SUV and pulled up along side it. “Get in,” a voice said. They parked the car and got into the back. The masked man drove away to a less conspicuous location and began telling them why he was there. He told them that he had seen the work they’ve accomplished and felt that he could entrust them to work with a few more of his associates. He extended to them a deal that they could not resist. As Gunnar and Nina thanked the masked man and assured him that they would maintain the area. With a respectful nod, the masked man dropped them off and set on his way.
After becoming better friends with another agent and supplying him with goods, the Rogues were offered another spot on the boat for their equipment and some new items that would help them be successful as they moved forward. The order list was given to all the Rogues and shortly after the orders came rolling in. It was clear that this was going to become a prominent task for the Rogues from now on. 
The producers placed the first order then gathered the rest of the team and told them the plan. After a bit of scouting, the Rogues were provided with the location and time. Everyone was assigned a role then sent on their way to the set. Excitement filled them all as they waited for the curtain call. 
The call came in and Gunnar and Nina went in to retrieve the package. They quickly ran and retrieved the package placing it into the trunk then left the area as the rest of the Rogues kept watch for any uninvited guests. As the Klokbergs left the area they called out the all clear. The items were then stored securely while the rest of the crew prepared themselves and their gear for the next order. Another successful mission finished with many more on the horizon.

With their new ability to order highly desired cooking chemicals, the Rogues began spending more time in the public kitchens cooking up batches of everything imaginable. This, in turn, allowed them to run in to some new groups that they hadn’t seen before. One such group, Horizon, asked to meet and discuss business between the two organizations. At the meeting, each groups leaders explained their values and a desire to begin a business relationship with each other. The Rogues discovered that there were a couple of members in Horizon that they had worked well with in the past which made the idea even more promising. The arrangements were made and both crews left satisfied. The next day, the groups got together to do business when Horizon said they had an issue with their portion. They returned not long after and not only provided what was agreed but doubled their gift as an act of good measure. The Rogues knew that this could be a very good partnership and looked forward to future business with their new friends.

Having a need for speed usually means that sometimes you may lose control of your vehicle. Luckily, Gunnar and Nina are trained stunt actors and have stunt driving experience to help keep the cars on the road…mostly. Please enjoy this blooper reel which includes some of our favorite motorized mishaps.

Happy Halloween from the Milestone Rogues!

When the Milestone Rogues’ producers announced they were taking a break for a well-deserved vacation, Soap saw a golden opportunity. She’d been eyeing a Hakoucho Drag bike for years, and this was her chance to earn it herself—one batch at a time. Determined, Soap planned her strategy: she’d cook her way to her dream ride. By day, Soap worked in solitude, gathering everything she’d need for the night ahead. As dusk settled and the Rogues stirred, Soap and her crew collected their orders, each one containing the essential ingredients she’d use to cook her product through the night. Every detail was carefully checked, her process as precise as it was relentless. Then, she’d get to work, cooking tirelessly, one batch after another. Some nights, she’d have company, her closest allies by her side, helping her refine her craft in the lab. But often, it was just Soap and her steely determination, pushing through the night alone. As the days passed, the scene in her “kitchen” began to shift. Familiar faces—her friends clad in blue and purple—started to be replaced by a sea of white. Yet Soap’s approach remained the same: friendly, neutral, and ever diplomatic. The color of the crowd may have changed, but business was business. Soap stayed focused, cooking up what her contacts craved and delivering results night after night. Though her Rogue family had grown quieter and less visible, Soap’s resolve only deepened. She set a high bar, producing thousands of “orders” a week, keeping up a relentless pace that showed no signs of slowing down. Every night’s work brought her closer to her goal—and closer to the millions she could make within the few short weeks she’d given herself. Along her journey, Soap found more than just profit. She forged new friendships, spotted potential allies, and built relationships that could shape her future. With her connections growing and her reputation solidifying, it was clear that Soap’s path was one not just of skill, but of loyalty, trust, and ambition. Each new night brought her a step closer to her dream ride—and a step deeper into a world of opportunities she’d never anticipated.[/spoiler]

Gunnar and Nina came to Denny a few weeks ago and informed him that they would be going on vacation for just over two weeks. Denny had previously told them that if they ever needed him, he would have an open mind and jump into action to do any task needed for the Milestone Rogues. They told him they would like for him to act as an interim director while they were on vacation and oversee the members and logistics. Denny was a little nervous but excited for the opportunity to prove he was capable and worthy to hold things down for Gunnar and Nina while they were away. He was to keep up with all the logistics of the organization, manage members activities, do the imports for everyone's orders, and pay out the members their due. Denny immediately took to the work and realized it’s something that he really enjoys and upon Gunnar and Nina's return they found he made zero mistakes while they were away. Seeing Denny's potential and effort they offered him to be full time director of post processing moving forward.

The day after his promotion, Denny awoke eager to begin his new role. Moments later he heard Gavin check over the radio. Gavin promptly offered to help and the two set out on their mission with Gavin being the lookout and Denny handling business. With Gavin’s assistance they were able to quickly complete the job and have more fun in the process..

"Hello im unda da wata" Soap was making her nightly preparations, loading up supplies for a busy night ahead. She had just heard on the radio that the bosses were cooking drugs near the drift club. Ready to lend a hand, she pulled into the lot, seeing the crew already hard at work with their setup under the shadow of a familiar neon-lit building. As she circled the area to keep watch, Soap caught an unusual sound—a soft clunk from the water’s edge, like something bumping against the waves. Following the sound, she spotted it—a submarine, abandoned and locked up, bobbing quietly in the moonlight. She grinned in disbelief; a rare gem like this left unattended was an opportunity she couldn’t pass up. Without a second thought, Soap sped off to the nearest hardware store, grabbing everything she’d need to get into the sub. When she returned, she plunged into the water, lockpicking the submarine’s odd curved doors, hoping her car hotwiring skills would transfer over. With a flick and a spark, the sub’s engine whirred to life. She radioed the crew, letting them know she’d be “out for a swim,” then dove into the depths, the world above fading as ocean blue surrounded her. Soon, she picked up her partner at the shore, and together, they explored the submerged wonders of Los Santos. They passed vivid coral reefs, shimmering schools of fish, and even a grand underwater archway that felt like a portal to another world. Eventually, duty called, and Soap returned the submarine to the shore. But those deep-sea memories—the sights, the thrill, the untouched quiet of the underwater caves—would stay with her long after she surfaced.[/spoiler]

Ricky upon re-entry to Los Santos was welcomed back to the Rogues with open arms. He just had to prove his loyalty after an extended leave of absence by completing a "simple" task given by the organization. 

After acquiring his ingredients and with the mission at hand, Ricky set out to complete his task. With his brother Denny at his side, an open lab was found on an island far east of Los Santos. With the waves crashing and the wind blowing Ricky got to work.
He began whipping up batch after batch of various things the organization needed and after many hours of hard work and dedication it was complete. The perfect product to present the Organization for his re-entry stamp of approval was complete.
Grip Rick was back.
