As usual, rules have been updated and some class abilities have been modified. Check things over carefully if they're relevant to your weapons or abilities.

The main patch note that gangsters should be happy to hear is that recoil has been removed. Full auto attacks now impose a flat -2 accuracy penalty to all of their shots, but that's it.

Once more the gang is assembled in the derelict warehouse in the abandoned industrial section of Freedom Square. The safehouse. This time, however, it's been fixed up some. There's a common area assembled with couches, chairs, and even cable television; being able to relax here feels like it helps restore your vitality after a rough job. A bar stocked with local beers, hard liquor, and a few special extra somethings for the more adventurous types, well, that helps you to let go of your problems for a bit so you can keep a keen edge when it counts. And a gym with a punching bag, treadmill, and weights, can get you into top physical shape and improve your stamina.

"Hey, everyone!" Claire gives a small wave to the assembled gang. "Hope you enjoy the new stuff for our safehouse. Good to see you alive and well. Uh, mostly. The good news is, it'll probably be a week or two before we have the next big mission set up, so you should have some time to recover! It'll take some time for me to track down the source of this mystery drug you guys found in the basement. My chemist guy says it's something he hasn't seen before. But with a sample of the stuff, and the notes you found with it, I think we can find it eventually.

"In the meantime,well ... I'd say rest up, but I know you guys like to keep yourselves busy!" Claire points to the other new feature of the safehouse, a partioned-off area which you can see has a desk, filing cabinets, and office supplies. A big billboard on the inside wall has a bunch of Claire's information on what's going on in the city; a second big billboard, on the outside wall facing the common area, are lists, notes, flyers, and posters regarding jobs, events, and opportunities in the city. "Come see me, and I'll get you set up with a way to make cash on the side. As a gang we're mostly focused on our big problems right now, rather than making money ... but we ARE criminals. What's the point if we aren't getting rich too, right?!"

Blackjack had been laying fairly low- well, as low as a paid killer working for one of the most reckless gangs in Heat City COULD lay. However, legal work wasn't really... profitable enough. So she did what she could. Eventually, her girl would graduate from medical school, and they'd be on easy street.

But for now, she runs with the gang. On foot, apparently, since motorbikes are fucking expensive. God, she misses her old bike. When she gets her hands on that old Russian who RUINED it in his chop shop, she can live happy, and dream of better bikes.

The job had gone incredibly well. So well that she immediately went to a garage, and bought herself a new bike. A Yamaha V-Max 1200, in fact. One of the bikes that her meathead muscle car enthusiast friends had approved of. "All power," he said, "this baby was built for drag racing." Though Blackjack usually bought American, Harley-Davidson wasn't really her style.

Caphound's never been one to live in a building she's bought and paid for. At best she inhabits the warehouse hideout a fair bit of the time, and every night she creeps into Okeana's place and curls up asleep on the floor. She usually wakes up with a blanket over her and a pillow under her head.

The warehouse was already host to a number of intense rock and metal records owned by Caphound (and Jacketwolf, posthumously), with the occasional record playing something totally uncharacteristic for the bloodthirsty Caphound. Sometimes it's classical music, sometimes it's cheesy pop love songs, and sometimes it's something altogether different. She still looks like she enjoys them, though, and nobody's managed to ask her about it. Or if they have, they're not telling.

Joining that collection, in recent times, is a large stack of movies. They're mostly action flicks, but an ever-growing number are animated and have Japanese titles. It seems Mizuchi's rubbing off on her.

However, Caphound's time in these two homes still leaves her a large chunk of time where she just wanders the streets unaccounted-for. This time, she's gone for days, traceable only by the reports of a dog-faced loon with a bat and a mad cackle engaging in a variety of bizarre activities which usually end in beating someone bloody. Okeana knows she's okay, though. Who else would be hiding chocolates in her kitchen drawers?

What started as a simple Cut and Cut quickly slipped into a roaring car chase across the airport tarmac, and a pistol melee in the back of a tipping Cessna. By the end of it, the pigs had inpounded her car, and the pigs on the bus were even less charming. Money would be needed to get it back at the upcoming Impound Auction, and the Fairlady would fetch a high price.

There were a few messages on the machine when she got home, which wasn't odd. There were four people with her number. питбyль [Pitbull], the Samurai, Claire, and her landlord, though the latter two never used it.

The first was Mizuchi, asking again if she knew Japanese, Russia being so close and all. Oh, and also his video store was trying to get more customers so if she could please come down again sometime that'd be-
*BEEP*

The other two were from Cap, though one was just her laughter for the half minute the machine let you speak as some punk presumably tried to balance a handset on his freshly broken fingers.
*BEEP*

The other one was more substantial.
"—ET ME TALK TO HER MACHINE, FUCK! STOP BEEPING!" *indecipherable speech, then a sigh* " I know I can leave a message, but I want to talk." *more Charlie Brown speech* "Fine. Errrr, come to the hideout. It's Cap, just borrowing a phone. We're robbing a bank and I want you to be there. An' I think you'd wanna be there, cause you got my back like that. An' I miss you, so I stole you a present. Found you a present. Nah, mugged. *cackling* I'll tell you all about it when you get here. See ya, Oka! Now forget that number. Wait, how do you end the ca—"

She had obviously been home again, which meant cleaning more melted milk chocolate out of the fork drawer, but Okeana was just happy knowing she was alright. This outrageous heat could get to people's heads faster than the sweets sometimes. She cleaned her guns, packed a bag, and set out for the warehouse.

"I was gonna wing it anyway, cause I am in the ZONE right now." Caphound's voice has recovered a little, especially after taking a moment to drink some water for the first time since... yesterday morning? Oka didn't even have to remind her, this time! She was gonna be so proud of her when she finds time to tell her.

"I bet we'd do better knowing what everyone else is up to though, right? So we don't all run at the safe and get fucked up." And so poor Oka didn't die of a heart attack, trying to keep track of her pitbull and two little mini versions of her all running around.

Caphound glances at Okeana quickly, searching for that little look of approval/pride she gave whenever Caphound reined herself in. Then she looks away like nothing happened. "I'll deal with the crowd. I'm good at scaring people." She gives a fanged grin.

"I'll be the driver. Since you're the guy that started this heist, you can handle the big job of safe cracking."

Mizuchi had a little bit of a problem, his shitty old beater that he'd gotten back in his short attempt at college had finally gave out. He could only blame it on the hail of gunfire that ripped into it while he and the rest of the squad were getting the hell out of there from Spider's ambush. Thinking about that night still made his blood flash white hot. Wasn't all bad though, an import company he'd done freelance for back during his freelance days got in touch with him through Doc Hans, the old street doc Mizuchi was bumming a couch off whenever he could. They had a less than legally acquired Japanese import car and needed to shuffle it around quick, and what better way to show how they appreciated his services? A minor catch though, they were planning on using it to do a spot of delivery work to some local contacts. Surely he could take care of that too?

The young ronin, usually quite punctual to these things, arrived at the safehouse a little later than usual. The why was answered with his entrance, pulling up to the warehouse in a spotless 1984 Katana Coupe. Sure, he was still mostly homeless besides sleeping in his chair at Mitch's Videodrome and the couch at Doc Hans's place when he didn't have a patient strung out there sleeping off gunshot wounds, but he sure had a hellvua car to sleep in now. Rolling down the window and sticking his head out, he'll address the assembled gang. "Soory, soory everyone. Had to pick up gas on the way here." He was far too smug to be actually sorry.

"I heard, from a friend, that this is the place to be for someone who wants some action and to make some cash. I also heard you people always need more meat for the grinder. Lucky for both of us, our interests coincide. Name's Chaser. Yeah, with a r."

It's with these words that Chaser introduces himself to Claire. After all, he wasn't lying, but it's not like he really had options: all he's done his whole life was hurting other people, and Uncle Sam decided he didn't like it when he became too much of a "thrill-seeker". A dishonorable discharge and a boot in the ass later, and it was either this or the Mafia. He reasoned he probably wasn't cool enough to join a famiglia, he didn't even have a suit! But every gang needs muscle, and that much he had.

Weasel entered the building to find a scared, weeping woman bound to a chair while blindfolded and deafened

She leans over to badger and whispers to him
"Alright I'll play good cop and you can play bad cop. Worst comes to worst we can play bad cop and badder cop but I hope we won't have to hurt this poor girl"

Weasel approaches the woman, removing her blindfold and earmuffs then gives the prisoner a smile from behind her gasmask

" 'Alo, I'm sure you're scared, I'm sure you're not sure what is going on. The bad news is that the moment you choose this type of career was the moment kidnappings became an occupational hazard... The good news is that you haven't seen our faces. That means that so long as you cooperate no harm will be done to you and hopefully some day this will all just be a bad memory."

Chaser was walking down the Avenue to the warehouse, he needed the fresh air after the match. It's not like anyone would bother him, his face bruised and bloodied.
It seemed like nothing was broken though, other than his nose. Small mercies.
It should have been an easy, if messy, affair. And yet he found himself out of his league, his opponent not even that much bigger than him but he must have been a professional or something like that. Chaser still gave as good as he got, but it wasn't enough.

Just as he was about to reach Venice, he remembered: he never said he was gonna do the job out loud!
...And never collected the keys to the building, either.

He stopped just before committing to what might just have been one of his biggest mistakes yet, and turned right back in the direction of the safe house.
He'll have to actually speak to this "Empress" lady, this time.
Maybe after rinsing the blood out if his face.

A few hours later, Badger was now meeting with their "guest" at the deserted warehouse. He was whistling at jaunty tune that came out of his gasmask muffled while slowly and methodically sharpening a knife. On the table he had prepared for the occasion, laid various items of interest. A few syringes, filled with clear liquid. Various blades. A car battery, with its assorted jumper cables. Acid meant for industrial cleaning. And a radio, currently blasting Mr Blue Sky.
The merc placed the knife on the table, and leaned towards their prisoner, pulling out the rag stuffed inside her mouth. "Shhh shhh shhh. No screaming. Just enjoy the song. Do you want a smoke to calm your nerves?"
After placing a cigarette between her lips, and lighting it, he sat face to face with her. "Y'know. We don't have to use all of those. Though between you and I, my assistant is pretty eager to. I promised to show her enhanced interrogation techniques, if you resisted." He took a second to enjoy the music, bobbing his head to the beat, before continuing. "You could tell us what you know, then we let you go, unharmed. And thanks to that, you'd be able to leave town before anyone realizes you spilled the beans. You got such a bright future ahead of you, it'd be a shame to ruin it, girl." He snatched the cigarette from her mouth, and held the lit extremity dangerously close to her left eyeball, enough to let her feel the heat radiating from the tip. "What do you say? The easy way. Or the hard way?"

Having just cooled down from the second round of action in a short time, Max felt like he could tone it down for a little bit and lie low. These thoughts quickly left his head when he remembered hearing something while going in on the previous hit. The mafia leader had been bragging about his old German friend coming to visit. Apparently he was an old military guy, and knew some people who could've helped out the mafioso's with some upgraded gear. That problem no longer existed, with most of them meeting their end after the bastard's whore screamed when you took him out.

But this did give Max an idea.

He knew a friend of a friend who had a lot of connections to the local arms dealing scene. Surely if this German was coming to town it wouldn't just be for some shitty smucks like them, he must have something else on the menu.
Breaking into the guys house with a crowbar through the back window was the easy part, but finding anything in this guy's cluttered ass house would be a challenge. Looking around, he couldn't find anything for the longest time. Content with just breaking open the guys safe and stealing some cash, Max struck gold. Looking at the photos sitting in the cabinet next to the safe was the meanest looking gun he had ever seen. And he knew he had to get it.

Afterwards, standing by their cars while surrounded by cheering spectators, Don gives Strike the manly nod of respect. "Almost had me there. One mile an hour short, in the end. But you made me work for it, that's for sure." He looks over the coupe Strike raced in and whistles. "And in a stock Katana, too ... talk to my man JT over there, once the night is done." Don points to a guy lounging against a wall nearby. "He'll know where to take you. For now, have a drink with us."

Late that night, after the racers have dispersed and the crowds have gone home, Strike rides with JT to a seemingly abandoned warehouse in the southside docks. A metal corrugated door is lifted up, and the car rolls through into a bustling garage. A half dozen mechanics are working on racing cars, adding mods and tuning engines. Don Torino stands up from the hood of his car, wiping engine grease off his hands. "Welcome to the shop. Some would call me stupid for giving you an edge that might beat me out there. But I prefer a fair race, man to man. That, and I'm no fan of the Syndicate myself. Tell the rest of your gang they can stop by anytime."

>High performance car mods will be available at Don Torino's auto shop next downtime phase.

The rolodex is filled with impressive business cards. Subtle off-white coloring. Each card has the name of someone important-sounding, and a position like "Vice President of Acquisitions", and a company name like Initech or Capital Dynamics. They also each have a phone number. Some of them are marked with a small black X or O in pen.

In his cramped rental apartment, poking his tongue at the hole where his tooth once sat, Nacho boots up his Macintosh and starts investigating. There doesn't seem to be any common thread between the people whose business cards are in the rolodex. Could it just be an ordinary collection of contacts in finance and business? But then why was it hidden in a rich guy's safe? All he has is some basic city directories to look through. If only there was some way for his computer to connect with other computers. What kind of crazy future technology would that do that, though? Resigned, Nacho closes down the Mac, gets in his Grand, and heads to the safehouse to find Claire and see if she knows anything.

"I'm not sure, but I have an idea," she says after Nacho shows her the rolodex. "I recognize some of these guys with the circles marked on them. They have two things in common. One, they're all rich shits in suits who work in the glass towers downtown. Two, I've seen at the department that they're all under investigation for ties to organized crime. The Xs, as far as I know, are all clean." Claire takes a moment to hink. "I think what we have here, Mr. Nacho, is a list of contacts. Suits willing to get their hands dirty, in exchange for a percentage. If you leave these with, I might find someone suitable to reach out to. I don't think just calling numbers at random will go well for us. But if we find the right guy, we could get a contract for a job ... or rip him off." She grins. "Give me some time to look into these."

>"Soory, soory everyone. Had to pick up gas on the way here." He was far too smug to be actually sorry.

Alan, glad to see the blonde blade, gives Mizuchi a large smile. He was glad that the assassin seemed excited about his new car.

"Nice"

>"Hey, Alan! Check out my new ri-Oh, thanks for the scones. How's it going, eh?"

"Not much. Finished buying a new couch and a coffee table. Robbed some banks, failed some assassinations. That sort of thing."

"Was thinking of going to Bed Bath later after the payment for some jobs goes through."

>>4802551
Alan gives the newbie a stupid grin

"Sure I've got this awesome Darth Vader outfit you can borrow hahaha!"

"A suit that might be a bit too small or a comfortable set of gym clothes."

"Or I can just front you the cash and you can just pay me back later. Doesn't even need to be with money buy me a drink, help me set up snacks for the meetings that sort of thing. I'll introduce you to Stuart if you haven't met him yet, good man that."

"I'm still waiting for a chance to ask for some more DEVIANT clothing from Stuart but I haven't had the chance to coerce anybody into wearing them..."

"...That last one wasn't a request by the way just something I've been thinking about."

To an ordinary man, the gun in the German's cabinet would look like just another assault rifle. But not to Max. He sees with an operator's eyes. He sees the sleek design, the innovative structure, the way the barrel and handgrips are attached just so. He sees *possibilities*. This is not just a gun. This is an operator's gun, like nothing he's ever seen before.

Max has heard rumors on the wind. National governments, on both sides of the cold war, starting competitions among arms designers to create the next generation of firearms to dominate the battlefield. The advanced combat rifle.

The weight is perfect in his hands.

Finally.

And this time: I won't simply stare at the wall. The Kid needs money. Has a new-found appreciation for hair colour products and comic books. Apparently, noodles and Japanese imports are all the rage now. She doesn't make demands, she just gives that that "Don't you know anything" look? No. I don't know anything. What the hells an "anime" and what it's got to do with hair colour products? I thought children liked teddy bears so I bought a teddy bear, but now the bears in her room in a pink wig and they have a "Manga Appreciation club" and I feel it in my bones: I don't get The Kid these days.

But what the Kid wants, the Kid gets. Easy rule. There's a bank near eight street, over that away, and I happen to know the crooked ups and cocaine cowboys keep a stash there.

Go in. Get the goods. Get out. Get away. Easy.

Ramirez smirks at the haul they picked up from the Plaza. Big corporate suits from Japan or no, but the heist went almost perfectly - even if he *had* made an embarrassing mistake at the start.

Still, he thinks while hefting a brick of cash, it definitely could have gone worse, without the presence of the other guys. And the loot definitely was a balm for the soul.

"Alright, I've come to a decision guys. I think it's more than fair for you all to get $55,000 each. You more than pulled your weights out there." He smiles, more genuinely this time. This feeling of camaraderie... Ramirez hadn't realised he'd missed it before now. "Now, let's see what was in these 'High Security' packages, shall we?"

The first one turns out to be a beautifully lacquered, and though Ramirez doesn't know it, mulberry wood box. With a click of the latch, it opens to reveal an exquisitely crafted katana - and an aura of almost oppressive bloodlust. He blinks, almost instinctively closing the box again. "Right, a ninja sword or whatever. Looks expensive, too."

The next package though, contains an unobtrusive, green floppy disk. And yet what few identifying marks on it, plus its sheer unremarkableness is triggering memories in his head. Memories of masked men, coded instructions, and body bags in unmarked graves. "I'm taking this," says Ramirez. His tone brooks no argument. "If any of you wants the sword, talk amongst yourselves. Else I'll give it to Mizuchi or whatever, he loves this Japanese stuff."

The city bus rolls down the elevated freeway through the center of the city. With his purple-stained suit and money back in the dumpster, Chien appears more or less like an ordinary citizen, one who didn't just rob a bank. He's still letting the excitement drain out of him as he watches the city go by out the window. Already thinking about what he'll buy The Kid later that night with the money he was able to save from the ink bomb. Little does he know that the excitement isn't done with him yet.

A car races up the freeway, and implausibly, a man leaps off the car and boards the bus. There's a scuffle involving another criminal freaking out, gunshots, and a wounded bus driver, that terminates when Chien subdues the other criminal without much fuss. The man is Kal Travis, an HCPD officer, and he says that a terrorist has planted a bomb on the bus! If the bus slows down below 50 miles an hour, it will explode!

A gutsy young woman takes over as the bus driver, and together with Chien, they assist Kal in a thrilling adventure as the bus races across the city, desperately staying above the 50mph threshold as the police attempt various solutions, all of which have failed. It's up to you!

Roll +Cool to help Kal disable the bomb and save the passengers on a 7+, otherwise you're [WASTED!]

Back in his apartment, now with a hulking Ramirez and Heckler looming over his shoulder watching, Nacho boots up his Macintosh computer. The two enforcers insisted on being personally present when the disk gets cracked. A standing fan makes a desultory attempt to circulate cool air through the stifling Florida heat of the cramped basement. The sound of traffic, and Latin music from the neighbor's radio, drifts in through the open window.

Nacho has slotted the green disk into his computer and is working on breaking through the encryption. "What were you expecting to find on here, ese?" He asks.

"We'll know it when we see it," Ramirez says.

"Porn, maybe," Heckler says. "Black market porn. The most expensive porn in the world. In 1944, in Berghof in the Alps, Adolf Hitler filmed a pornographic movie of Evan Braun, and that film is now worth millions of dollars to collectors of--" He stops when Ramirez elbows him in the ribs.

"Okay, I'm trying the thing Tobias sent me now," Nacho says. "He had a look at this earlier and said he might know where to find some further information. Sent a hashstring to my pager earlier today. No idea where he found it. Also no idea where he found my pager number, come to think of it."

"I don't think anyone knows where Tobias finds things," Ramirez says. "Is it working? What does it show you?"

"I think it's a security system, ese. Codes for alarm, or door locks, that sort of thing. Lots of them. Good codes, too. I can't say what it is yet, but, this could be big. Whoever set this up paid top dollar to encrypt it properly. Which means if I can decrypt it--"

"We could have an "in" to someplace with a lotta money," Heckler says, and laughs. "Our money, soon."

"Keep a lid on this, for now," Ramirez says. "I took the disk as part of my take from the Plaza, so if we get a lead on a job from this, it's my call on who goes."

"Understood, man," Nacho says. "Don't worry about me, I'm just trying to get a little clout here, you know. I can tell you this much, though. Whatever this is, it's going to be big."

The sheath is made of polished dark wood, so dark it seems to absorb the light entirely. The handle wrap is faded red, the handguard piece carved with elaborate curved designs. Drawing the sword for the first time, seeing the wave pattern on the hardened steel as light falls on the blade, Rainfall feels a quickening. Her heart beats faster. Perhaps the stories are true, and this cursed blade really does thirst for blood ...

"Oh? You've got a place, rad. I've just been bumming off couches these past few weeks. I'll at least bribe you with my anime collection if I ever ask you for that, don't worry." The assassin will shake his head. "Even renting costs way too much for my budget these days." The comment about failed assassinations obviously drew his attention as well. "Don't let failing to get your target get to you, that kind of work is hard starting out. Mowing down thugs is weirdly easier."

>>4804408
>>4804531
To call Mizuchi immensely impressed by Rainfall's new katana would be an understatement. The man quite literally bounced around the quiet assassin buzzing with questions and observations about it. Of course, he was proud of his own blade too. "A mystical blood katana huh?" He'll scoff, trying to recover some of his cool. "Not that it compares to Stormsplitter here." He'll tap the rather cheap mass produced katana at his side, only really notable for its brilliant orange and gold sheath (which was clearly hand painted and fading). "They say it was wielded by Oda Nobunaga himself, and that it slashed to ribbons a tsunami that would threaten his march for the capital." He was at least very certainly impressed by his flagrant lie.

>>4799687
The mere presence of anime anywhere in the warehouse was enough to get Mizuchi over in that corner at some point, man was like a bloodhound for the stuff. He knew better than to touch Caphound's stuff, he liked to think they were friends but that wasn't a risk he was going to take, but even with his limited Japanese he could read some of these titles. An eclectic collection, one almost certainly made based on cover art than any understanding of studios, directors, or an actual appreciation of the medium, but it was a start.

"Hey Cap, glad to see you're starting up an anime collection. Most of the people I've convinced to come watch it with me make up some kind of excuse to leave an hour in and never talk to me again. So this is way more than I expected." He'll scratch his head, cringing internally at the many times that's happened. "If you ever want to get your hands on something in particular and can't find it, lemme know because I've probably got it lying around somewhere."

Rolled 6 + 3 (1d10 + 3)

Some time after the interrogation job, Badger now found himself at a payphone, talking with one of his contacts, a certain Heat City politician that had once upon a time hired the merc to act as security for a while. "Sir, I know you don't approve of my current line of work. But it's something I must do. I don't need you to do much, anything else will help." There was a long silence, the old soldier listening to his contact. "That's all I'm asking. Say hello to the missus for me. Thank you." He hung up. It made sense, he didn't expect much more than a noncommittal "I'll see what I can do." from his old employer. Someone that deep in Heat City politics couldn't just be seen helping gang members. Now, all that was left was to see what would happen.

Surprisingly enough, one of the few people that had yet to flee Mizuchi's anime marathons was the oldest person in the gang. "Mizuchi, I don't get it." He said, for what felt like the tenth time in the evening. "So, the girl here is a disguised alien spy, right?" He added, pointing at the character on the screen. "And she's here to sow discord between the rangers by seducing them, right?" He waited for his junior to confirm his theory. "Then why hasn't that Tarantular guy attacked yet? She's probably telling him how it's going, and they're fighting right now. Why isn't he attacking while they can't form Zaltron?" The older man didn't seem to hate watching this, but was certainly confused by how some of the plots unfolded.

>>4801625
>>4801643

The woman caves right away. Badger is a little disappointed. He doesn't enjoy torturing people, but he got all this stuff together. The drill, the acid, the car battery, the radio tuned to an ironically jaunty song. Now he doesn't get to use any of it? "Maybe you could hold out just a little?" he asks the tied-up woman. "Ever been curious what being electrocuted by a car battery feels like? No? Are you sure?"

"I'm not going through this for those pricks," the woman says. "I'll tell you what I know, and then get the hell out of town. You're with the Boss's old crew, right? The one that's been tearing things up. Yeah, I think the Niners will have enough on their hands dealing with you to come after me."

"The Niners?" Weasel says. "Those dumb assholes again? Didn't we cap enough of them last time?"

"Some of them were away when you guys came knocking. They're running security for this new thing. The lab. That's what you guys are after, right?"

Weasel and Badger exchange looks behind their masks. Weasel says, "Yeah, tell us about this lab."

"Try leaving something obvious out," Badger suggests. Weasel looks at him. Badger shrugs. "Hey, I went to the trouble of getting all this torture shit out. It would be a shame not to use it, right?"

"Look, I hardly know anything myself, or I'd tell you," the woman says. "I know there's this new shit on the streets, right? Something the Syndicate is pushing. Green shit in vials. They're calling it Haze. Word is they're producing it somewhere in the city, they got a whole lab full of big chemical tanks and shit. They keep the formula there too. I dunno where the place is, though. I only know this much because my cousin heard one of the Niners talking big about working security there and what went down there, before his boss shut him up. That's what I got."

>The formula for the mystery drug, Haze, can be found as loot.

"Wow, you guys have been busy," Claire says to the reassembled gangsters. "How many banks was that? And the Yamamoto job was impressive. I saw it on the TV news! We've really made it, guys! Haha ... anyway, um ... I've put together info from the department with what Weasel and Badger found out, along with a few other sources. Purchasing records, shipping manifests, it would bore you guys. Long story short, the Syndicate is producing a new downer called Haze. The drug is taking off, and the production levels are ready to meet demand. They've assembled an entire laboratory underground, out in Sunset Springs, hidden under a construction site conveniently tied up in red tape. It's a custom-built facility, so there's no blueprints. We'll be going in blind, unless we can get some camera hacks involved. One thing we do know about is two entry points.

"One is a long dirt tunnel that trucks travel through to pick up or offload cargo or workers. If we figure out what type of truck they use and procure a similar one, we should be able to approach without suspicion until it's too late. The other way in is an elevator, leading down from a safehouse, strictly for big shots only. The house is guarded, but not well enough for us. It would also be possible, if we talked to a certain friend certified in demolitions, to make a third entry point of our own from the dirt tunnel into another room.

"Once we breach, the elevator will be disabled, so the cargo bay, or tunnel if we make one, are going to be our only ways out. That said, I bet the team that takes the VIP elevator will be in a better position to get their hands on something valuable. So think of it as a risk/reward sort of thing."

"Now the good news is, because this whole operation is going to be underground, in a place with hidden entrances, we might be able to get a job done for once without HCPD crashing the party halfway through. The bad news is, the Niners we didn't kill last time are all going to be here, and I think they'll be angry with us. I bet the Syndicate will have other security teams on site as well. There's also the chemists to deal with, I doubt they'll go quietly.

"We have three goals here, the way I see it. First is to find any more leads on the Syndicate. Second is to steal that Haze for ourselves and make bank. Third is to fuck up Spider's ability to make business. This lab is obviously a big investment, it's important to him and his plans. So wreck the place.

"So, let's start getting ourselves ready. We have a decent amount of cash in the community fund, and a good number of people who are still willing to do business with us and chip in against the Syndicate. Let's talk about how to use our assets."

" Miss, can you handle this bus or not? "

The gutsy young woman behind the wheel is struggling. Not lack of skill, a surfeit of road. The motorway ends suddenly, three miles ahead. It's not a large worry. Once the bus blows up everyone will be flying anyway.

I haven't gotten involved in the driving. Too busy staring down at a kludged-together nightmare of duct-tape, nails and trigger-wires some half-cooked genius might have termed a bomb, in much the same way the pyramids are a little like stacked bricks. I know how to defuse most bombs. It comes up a lot in my line of work. I haven't gotten around to splice-wiring a trigger-release dual shock motion feedback pin on a moving bus before though, so it's good to know The Kid isn't completely right when she claims that I know everything. Right now I wish I did though. The bus throws another curve, the driver shouts at someone too slow to clear the road. I almost cut the red wire with the jostle.

" We keep the bus steady? Bomb defusal hard on the road "
" If this BUS goes under fifty miles an hour it will -- "
" Kal, you've got a hair-pin on you? "
" I lost it when we drove through the supermarket "
" Shit. Ma'am, how's the windows holding up? "
" The geese dented it something, but it's good. The one that's stuck in the engine block making us leak though. "

It's been a long day. Didn't count on the farmer's market coming to that section of town. The bus hasn't been holding up well after we rammed the cow.

The lady and the cop seems like they've got things under control, even if they're awfully distracted by making smouldering eyes at each other. Kids these days. Someone should tell them emotional relations made under intense experiences never last.

I keep glancing at the cop. He keeps glancing at me. He knows I know he knows I have guns up my sleeve. I know he knows I know he's seen them. He's not your average kind of cop. Loose cannon type. He's seen the ink that soaked through the suit fabric into my spare clothes. Might have put things together. He's got that kind of look, like the world is one big excellent joke and he's the only man around here who knows the kung fu to fight through it

It's making bomb-defusal awful tense. Professional though. He hasn't busted me for my obvious bank job, and I haven't shot him on account of how he saved my life taking out that other free-rider. Game theory. Just Be cool. But I've still got a movie night with the Kid. I can't be late. This bus is moving too slow. I'm losing my cool.

" Hey Ma'am? Speed up. I've gotta a movie night later. "

They stare at me.

" Floor it. What's the worst that can happen? "

"Ah, I forgot." Caphound advances on Okeana sometime after the Everton heist, brandishing the jewelry box from before. "Here, a present for ya. I don't really wear jewelry. Don't think you do either, but it's gotta be worth something if you sell it off."

The box jingles as Caphound thrusts it into her friend's hands. "I remember being yelled at about this being worth three thousand dollars, so maybe that." She looks away, scratching the back of her head. "So, ah, consider that thanks for putting up with me." A rare non-malicious grin spreads across her face. "You're the best."

She closes the distance for a brief and tight hug, then retreats.

It was bright and early, right after the Everton on Sunrise opened and right before the HCPD changed shifts. Lookout duty was fitting, given why Okeana was here. Though that meant she could look out her way, down the scope of her Dragunov from the roof across the street. With luck, the rest would be out in 45 seconds and around the block to meet her in a minute. Emphasis on the luck. Who knows what shenanigans those three could get up to.

It was Easy.

It sure didn't seem so at the first glance. The bank today was like a kicked beehive, with clerks running to and fro, managers screaming at whoever they nominated as scapegoats, and there were cops everywhere, making photos and taking fingerprints and strolling around looking important. Apparently, just a bit earlier some cheeky fucker pretended to be a safety inspector and made away with some fat stacks.

What were the chances that some other cheeky fucker would attempt the same just an hour later, with the building full of pigs? You'd think pretty low, and the pigs sure did seem to think that, which proved their undoing. Ben didn't know exactly what magic Tony worked inside, but there wasn't a single shot heard, and the Italian turned the corner into the alleyway where the pickup waited with an unhurried and confident step, like the case he was carrying contained just boring paperwork.

It's simple when you think about it. The Niners wouldn't be too brooding when it comes to what the chemists are cooking and it would also be a great way to get closer to the Haze formula. Plus mixing reagents with each other is only like mixing salt and water in a chemistry class. Except you might get a much stronger reaction if you mix wrong. Plus, since the Syndicate has some personnel on site, one of them might have something on their person pertaining to where they came from or their instructions.

Plus, you know, the series would just be over if he attacked and that'd be no fun for anyone."

"Oh yeah, the gamma crystals. I guess that makes sense." He nodded at Mizuchi's explanation, this was all pretty reasonable. And it also made sense that the writers wouldn't just let him loose early. "... Wait. But if he can't get to Earth, how does he send a minion every week or so?" Explaining the subtleties of Zaltron to Badger would take a while.

The preparations are ready. Gear is packed and prepared. Weapons are locked and loaded. Escape vehicles are fueled. It's go time. The gang gets together in the safehouse garage, performing their final equipment checks.

Angela pulls into the garage on her bike, stops by the crew, takes her helmet off. "I'll be ready to run interference for the escape again," she says. "With good drivers on your escape cars, I shouldn't have to do anything. But just in case there's some cops on your tail they can't shake, I'll be ready to handle things. Once you're out of sight, you know the drill -- ditch the escape vehicles, clean yourself off, and split up for a while." She puts her helmet back on, revs the bike engine. "This should be a big score tonight! Good luck in there." And with that, she speeds off, disappearing into the city.

The gang loads up into their vehicles. The cargo bay team gets into the cab of the big transport truck, while the tunnel team piles into the back, bringing the demolition charges with them. The third team gets into a stolen van. Both vehicles drive out of the garage, through the empty lot outside the safehouse, and out into the city, heading for Sunset Springs.

The van pulls up across the street from the safehouse. The guards are caught slacking, taken down by a coordinated assault. Alamo radios in their success to the other teams. The transport truck pulls into position just inside the tunnel leading to the laboratory, and drops off the demolition team. The countdown begins.

Once the time is right, the truck heads further into the tunnel. When the driver sees the light of the security checkpoint ahead, he accelerates; the truck smashes through, crashing into the cargo bay, just as the tunnel crew blows the demolition charges and blast a new entrance through the rock. The squad leaps from the truck cab and rushes into the cargo area; the debris from the explosion clears, and the tunnel squad advances; the elevator doors open, and the VIP team emerges into a party in progress.

No alarm has sounded yet, but considering the explosions, everyone probably know you're here. And once the shooting starts, a moment from now, they'll definitely know.

Turn 1 begins.

At the back of the truck headed for the cargo bay, Badger was focused. One by one, he inserted each individual bullet inside his magazines, making sure all his ammo was accounted for. This was his little ritual, his way to focus before a job. The sound of each bullet clicking into place, and of the mag growing emptier had a soothing effect for him. Finally, he finished, and slid the magazine into his sidearm, then checked the chamber. Perfect.

And just in time too, as the driver gave them the signal hang on tight to something, before plowing through the checkpoint. The driver maneuvers into the cargo bay, and makes a perfect U turn. The doors of the truck swing open in a stunning silence, and the cargo team jumps out, weapon at the ready, the Niners present still stunned by the unforeseen circumstances. Seeing their faces, the old man can't help but quip, and shouts, his voice distorted by his mask. "Surprise, motherfuckers!"
And that's when chaos ensues.
