Work has gone back to normal at Doc Wagon, except that Thumper seems to be really quiet and keeps to himself.\u00a0 We keep going to the restaurant and things are OK there, but Thumper seems to be troubled about the Troll gangers we ran into.<\/p>\n
Bright was promoted into an EMT position, which he is really excited about.\u00a0 He has been moved to a different team as their primary med tech.\u00a0 However they have not yet backfilled his position, so we are running short handed.\u00a0 We have a day off.<\/p>\n
We know Franz was organizing the weapons shipments from Germany, but didn’t know who was behind the idea and why they helped Franz.\u00a0 However we did not see a Universal Brotherhood symbol there, so we don’t know if it was related to the previous deal down by the docks.<\/p>\n
We are at the Triple Tap with a day off.\u00a0 Thumper is really busy working both the front and back of house, so he cant leave. We decide to go look around the city, to see if we can find Dr. Hyun’s nephew as well as find any more information about the weapons deals and the Universal Brotherhood.\u00a0 He was last seen near Clybourn and Larabee in the NW part of the Shattergraves.\u00a0 She also give us a description and a video from one of his presentations.\u00a0 Ha-Joon Hyun.<\/p>\n
We take the L down there.\u00a0 On the way we also get a message from Charlie Zero say he found something, with a link to Noose Net.\u00a0 We get off near his last know location.\u00a0 There are still some businesses, but may are boarded up and things look really sketchy.\u00a0 Matt finds a quiet stoop and accesses the message while Espadas and Ryoshi keep watch.\u00a0 However he is not able to connect.\u00a0 He head to his last known location.\u00a0 We find a community of apartments that is being built around a park.\u00a0 The project seems abandoned, and there is only some work going on in one building.\u00a0 We go into one of the other buildings.\u00a0 There are some squatters, and we ask them about Ha-Joon.\u00a0 One of the squatters identifies himself as Jim.\u00a0 He says the project was shut down after some sort of a problem.\u00a0 All of the workers just left after some sort of security people told them to leave.\u00a0 We ask about the Universal Brotherhood.\u00a0 Another guy comes forward and says he was in there but he got out.\u00a0 They lie about projects and preach a lot, but nothing ever comes of it.\u00a0 At the higher levels they get really weird, and people often go missing.\u00a0 That was why he got out.<\/p>\n
We leave and check some other buildings.\u00a0 Issac notices that another building has a basement and looks a little more finished.\u00a0 It also seems empty, with no squatters.\u00a0 We head downstairs and it doesn’t seem to be residential.\u00a0 There is a large boiler and it is very damp, dirty, and smelly.\u00a0 We find some boxes and cases from old supplies, but a lot of it is ruined.\u00a0 There is one computer terminal that seems to control all of this machinery.\u00a0 It saws it is a water treatment system.\u00a0 Ryoshi notices a Universal Brotherhood symbol on the wall, scrawled by hand.\u00a0 There is a trap door nearby, but with no visible mechanism.\u00a0 Issac looks at the terminal and sees it has some hidden commands.\u00a0 However when he tries to access them he fumbles and ends up shutting off the terminal.<\/p>\n
We go old school and Espadas whacks the floor with his swords.\u00a0 He slices through the latch and the trap door opens.\u00a0 There is a lot of dust and darkness, along with a stairwell that goes down.\u00a0 There is a different smell from below, like chemicals or cleaning solutions.\u00a0 We head down and find a hallway with a very high tech looking door at then end.\u00a0 The door says C-104.\u00a0 The door also senses as magical.\u00a0 Isaac has a maglock passkey and is able to get it open.\u00a0 The lights are also on in the room ahead.<\/p>\n
Inside is some sort of lab, with an isolation chamber.\u00a0 There are some glass tubes to one side with some blobby, living things moving around in them.\u00a0 There is a panel on one wall that says “Verify identity”.\u00a0 When we don’t respond some small drones drop out of the ceiling.<\/p>\n
Espadas moves to block the door so it can’t trap us in here.\u00a0 He shoots at one and misses.\u00a0 Issac is able to use his maglock key to hack the security and get the drones to go back into the ceiling.\u00a0 We grab some files and Issac scans the room and records it with his cyber eyes.\u00a0 We close the door and get out of there as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n
We head to the roof, intending get from there to another building.\u00a0 We see some security on the road below us.\u00a0 We quickly climb to the roof and climb over the wall to the next building.\u00a0 The cops think they saw something and follow us, but we are able to slip away and out the back.<\/p>\n
We head to\u00a0 the restaurant to check on the link and let Charlie Zero know what we found.\u00a0 The link takes us to a video and a directory that is self deleting, we need to download the data then it will erase itself.\u00a0 The data has a map of the city showing locations where the Sewer Rats activity have been concentrated.\u00a0 There are at least 4 hotspots, including the location of the original weapons deal on the docks.\u00a0 There are 6 or 7 other gangs listed that are competing with the Rats, including two larger gangs.\u00a0 We can see where the gangs might come into conflict, including the apartments where we just were and around the Triple Tap.<\/p>\n
After looking at that we scrub our video to remove faces and voices, and send him the results.\u00a0 We also include Ha-Joon’s image and tell him what little we know about the Universal Brotherhood.\u00a0 \u00a0 Since we still have some time we decide to head down to the docks to check out where the weapons deal went down.<\/p>\n
As we were riding the L down there, we see that there was an explosion in the area where we just were.\u00a0 There were casualties, and the explosion leveled multiple buildings, including the building where the lab was and where the homeless were.<\/p>\n
We get to the docks, and this area is even seedier than the last area.\u00a0 There doesn’t look like there has been much activity since the bust.\u00a0 We find vehicle tracks, marks from large trunks, and many foot prints.\u00a0 We also find some crumpled paper.\u00a0 One is a business card for Scott Wilson<\/strong>, who works for the FBI.\u00a0 The other is a crude map of the warehouse with an area marked to the south is circled.\u00a0 It is about 1-2 blocks away.\u00a0 We head that way.<\/p>\n Things smell even worse in this area.\u00a0 We find another set of buildings that are abandoned.\u00a0 \u00a0This was another hot spot on the Sewer Rat activity map.\u00a0 We stealthily case the neighborhood.\u00a0 We see some activity on the south side of the building.\u00a0 There is a cellar entrance there, and some people standing around outside.\u00a0 They are on watch but we are not spotted.\u00a0 \u00a0They do have Sewer Rat patches, and they are all orcs.\u00a0 Once again Issac records the location and all of the faces to share with Charlie Zero.\u00a0 We don’t want to take on the whole gang so we retreat.<\/p>\n We head back to the Triple Tap.\u00a0 We first get a message from Charlie Zero saying that after he started looking around based on our last message when he attracted a lot of unwanted attention.\u00a0 He is going into hiding and said we should destroy anything we took from the lab.\u00a0 \u00a0So of course we look through the folder that we took from the lab.\u00a0 There seems to be data on test subjects that are identified by a serial number.\u00a0 The\u00a0 data tracks them over time and records symptoms.\u00a0 All of the patients seem to have died, except for the last one.\u00a0 That one says stage 4 achieved, moving subject to another location.<\/p>\n We decide to replace the binder with a Doc Wagon cover and then hide it work.\u00a0 We find out that the VTOL crew went to the explosion site. Jay walk says that they had two patients and one fatality.\u00a0 The patients said he saw some people there right before the explosion and he saw a van.\u00a0 That guy is in surgery right now.\u00a0 We head home and will come back just before our shift tomorrow.<\/p>\n When we get in we ask Dr. Hyun.\u00a0 She says one of the patients is in a coma, but the other one is awake.\u00a0 She says we shouldn’t talk to him, but Issac goes anyway.\u00a0 He does his best doctor routine.\u00a0 Louis Chatwell is the patient.\u00a0 He is an architect for a firm downtown and was looking at a potential job site.\u00a0 As they were going past the apartments he saw a black van pull up and several people go into the building carrying big cases.\u00a0 The ran out shortly after and drove away.\u00a0 He was about a block away when the explosions started.\u00a0 It looked like several people were caught in the buildings when they exploded.\u00a0 He can also describe one of the men:\u00a0 long nose, Van Dyke goatee, and quite pale skin.<\/p>\n We start our next shift.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Work has gone back to normal at Doc Wagon, except that Thumper seems to be really quiet and keeps to himself.\u00a0 We keep going to the restaurant and things are OK there, but Thumper seems to be troubled about the Troll gangers we ran into.
