General Patch Notes:

- 5th class ability has been added. As usual, some class abilities and weapons have been modified, so check things over carefully.
- Car escape rules clarified: When you roll any kind of escape check with +Speed or +Handling, you can declare before the roll you're bringing along additional crewmates. Including the driver, cars can carry Size x 2 total people.
- Light and heavy cover now provide +1/+2 defense when not using the Take Cover action. Bonus from Take Cover halved. What this means is, using Take Cover brings you to the same defense it did before, while not using it still grants some benefit from cover.
- Take Cover action now provides 50%/100% damage resist against explosives.

Side Job Updates:

- Armored cars have been entrusted with larger payrolls and security gear.
- Jewelry store robberies are now available.
- Increased HCPD street patrols have led to higher payouts for black market transports and courier jobs.
- Everton Banks have undergone a security refit. The new vault doors now require a heavy drill to penetrate -- these drills are expensive at $1,000, but are much more reliable than other safe-breaking drills you might have heard about, and don't need to be restarted mid-mission.
- Decrypting the security codes on the Green Disk has unlocked the repeatable Guardian Bank heist. Each attempt expends one Green Keycard, which requires spending a Green Disk and $10,000. A mutual security contract with armored car companies and Everton Inc. means that green disks can be reliably obtained from those jobs.
- Calling the right number from the business cards in the rolodex has unlocked the Fixer job.
Heat City Wrestling has a new championship up for grabs.
- Don Torino has informed Strike and Mizuchi about another race on the north side of town.
- New Unique Heist and Unique Hit are available.

Empress, you receive a half-coherent phone message on a private answering machine. The snatches you can hear hold the right code phrases. It's your agent, Veronica. You haven't heard back from her since you sent her to Rat Island, and it sounds like that's because she got herself caught. From what little you can tell, she's holding out on giving up any info, but her captors are getting impatient and won't keep her alive much longer. She gives you a location.

Deep in the mangrove swamps of Rat Island, you find a hidden lake with a motley collection of shacks and docks, connected by boardwalks. Scoping the place out, you see the perimeter is guarded by men with AK-47s at the ready. Airboats are parked at the docks; as you're watching, another arrives from an inlet that probably leads to the ocean. The propeller slows to a stop as the airboat pulls up to the docks, and you can hear the men chatting in Spanish as they begin unloading heavy-looking rectangular crates from the boat.

Veronica is somewhere here, in one of these shacks. You have time to go back to the city, get a crew, and tackle this as a group, but you've got a limited window here. If you fail or ignore the mission, she'll die at the end of this downtime.

Roll +Cool to play it quiet and strike when they least expect, or +Hard to go in guns blazing.

1-6: Choose one.
7-12: Choose two.
13+: Gain all three.

>Rescue Veronica alive.
>Escape with an airboat holding $100,000 of cocaine bricks, plastic-wrapped in duffel bags.
>You don't leave witnesses behind, and don't make enemies of the cartel.

The Vespucci Family's rise to power, or fall to ruin, has begun.

From now on, Tony can invest in local business and earn Vespucci Reputation.

Once any of these legal (mostly) businesses are rebuilt and invested in, other criminals can work at legal (mostly) jobs to earn money and burn off Heat.

Ramirez is almost disappointed that the Green Disc that had been recovered from Yamamoto Plaza seemingly only holds the way into a bank. A very advanced, secure bank, but hardly the skullduggery and espionage work he'd been half expecting. Regardless, this is still a golden opportunity. "Turns out we're holding the metaphorical keys to Guardian Bank," He muses. "Any of you lot up for it? Heckler, how about you?"

As Ramirez says his name and turns, he sees Heckler testing an electronic device he's wielding. When he inevitably gets the side eye, he smiles and chuckles. "What? I've used one of these before. You'd be surprised by what an ex-PMC has access to. Especially when that guy has a friend in with intelligence agencies." Then he chuckles, "Heckler the hacker."

Caphound giggles in her little corner of the safehouse, leaning a framed painting against the wall. It's one of those old Italian ones from the Renaissance, where they were all about drawing dicks and boobs. In one hand she holds a crayon of some kind, clearly having evil intentions on the painting. But hey, isn't art worth good money? Someone should probably stop her before she destroys 10K in art.

Empress is dead silent on the trip back to the hideout. After taking some time to consider how to tackle the compound, she cools down enough to talk without losing composure.

"The cartel in Rat Island is holding my friend Veronica prisoner. She's like Steph's big sister, making sure she stays out of trouble. If you help me out, you get to keep any of the cash we come across."

>Level up, gaining +1 Move
Mizuchi had gotten used to driving around places, having a proper car made sure of that, however he certainly didn't want to slack on his own performance. After many days on the treadmills at a local community center, he finally felt comfortable sprinting just a bit harder in combat, probably a good thing. Though, frankly, all the running he'd been doing on the many recent nights of bloodshed probably did most of the work. Still though, his parents had always been on his case about going to the gym, dredging up those memories made him feel like he had to have gotten something out of it to spite them.

>>4892927
Upon entering the safehouse, he'll see Caphound about to deface a presumably stolen piece of art and trot over. "Hey there Cap, nice painting, probably best to auction that instead of drawing over it. Unless you want to miss out on the spectacle of rich old people shouting at each other over who gets to spend the most money to have the ancient softcore porn."

>>4892934
Mizuchi will nod to Empress. "I was going to ask if I could use your spy network to help me on a personal project. The least I can do is offer you my sword in exchange as well." He'll scratch his head. "Money and intel aside I don't want any of your friends getting killed by the Cartel either, we all gotta look out for each other."

A bead of sweat trickled down Rainfall's forehead as she beheld the many payments due on her new residence. It seemed as though they kept piling up - even multiplying - despite the amounts of money she sank into paying them. Maybe the manager of her office job was onto her and was conspiring with forces unknown to keep her permanently shackled in wageslavery.

Impossible. Her tracks where professionally™ erased and her alibis were so airtight as to be hermetically sealed. Putting aside such thoughts and playing a D*e Hard BeamDisc on her fancy new television, she began to consider solutions to her predicament.

Caphound stares at Mizuchi, mouth agape. The wheels turning in her head are visible and almost audible. Then she laughs. "Haha! You're right, that's way better than moustaches on the dicks. Thanks for the hint!"

Caphound scurries off with the painting, then immediately changes course to head for Claire's office. Claire would know how auctions actually happened. She'd seen the Boss arranging auctions one time, when she and Terry were acting as her guards, but she'd not paid attention to much of it beyond snarling at anyone who got too close.

Wow, that was a long time ago. Or it felt like a long time ago. Caphound didn't really keep track of time.

"And the winner is... ALPHA STRIKE!" the announcer shouts to the crowd as Heckler begins shadow boxing around the ring, all while it is unclear whether Ramirez is giving death stares to his teammate, or the crowd. The madly cackling maniac had just been thrown at his enemy about 10 seconds beforehand, but the satisfying thud of the opponent as Heckler's knee and Ramirez's fist colliding into them had not worn down the enforcer's enthusiasm.

The Tenets of Violence that Riptide followed were simple, but effective. Drilled into him when he was only 12 years old back in Sub-Saharan Africa.

It has it's roots in wrestling with grapples, and you would occasionally use Voodoo to get an advantage, but it works for this and Riptide doesn't need any supernatural help.

What to put the money into? Also, why does he feel watched? Not in a "Crowd's Standing Ovation" way, more of a "Prey feeling their imminent doom" way.

>Offer $9,600 to pay off the Unpaid Dancer Costs for the Blue Mare Lounge should Tony agree with Mizuchi's deal, remaining money $10,004 if so
Mizuchi had an idea, and he had the loose capital and poor business skills needed to attempt it. By the time Tony arrived at the safe house, Mizuchi had already prepared an envelope of bills and his best (and only) suit to greet him. "The Blue Mare Club, the operation you're starting up controls it, eh? I've got this idea, and if you're willing to help me try to make it happen I'll help you pay off the dancer debt the club needs to get running. See, I belong to a community of Japan enthusiasts, and they've got this type of club over there that's all the rage, raking in big money. As far as my limited research shows, there's nothing like it in Heat City. They're called Hostess Clubs, where you pay to have drinks and a nice conversation with a pretty girl...though I think some are the other way around, anyway that's besides the point. Now, I'm not saying we have to completely overhaul the joint or get rid of the other services, I just think maybe it'd be something extra to really make the place stand out, eh? I'll even help consult for it, if manpower is a problem. Help find talent..." He'll scratch his head, not exactly confident talking business with a veteran mobster. "I-I'd also be willing to take a cut of the profits, if you don't think there's a market for that. I'm still kinda homeless..."

Chaser was feeling good! ...Despite having just spent almost a grand on new clothes, but it was worth it. He finally owned that snazzy suit he wanted, and an outfit that was actually his size! "That Stuart guy really knows his stuff, he fixed me up real nice. Didn't even bat an eye to the request of that movie costume for Alan, even with all the fur!"
He was even in the mood to call Bob, the friend who got him in a whole new world of trouble last time: it was Bob who sent him to this new gig of shooting criminals, it was Bob who got him in a crooked boxing match, and it was still Bob who got him... suspiciously accurate intel on a drug den...
The ex-military thought to himself "Maybe I could get to him and shoot the shit over a beer and a movie, and maybe figure out how did he get involved with all these kinds of shady dealings".

Maggie was composed as she sat on the couch listening to the crew discuss their plans while softly sipped a cup of tea. The doll-like woman addresses Heckle without meeting his eyes and spoke softly.

>>4893011
"It's nice to meet you, I've heard so many wonderful stories about this crew and their... exploits"

She gently raised the cup to her lips again, enjoying the calming taste of chamomile before continuing.

"From what I understand you do not have a point man for an upcoming heist. If possible I would like put my name out there although I understand if you do not trust a completely new member."

>>4892982
"And Brick, I know you are new but if you would like we can do a job together. Remember that you have two timeslots to perform downtime activities."

Maggie flicks her hand exposing her slender wrist and checks her watch for the time seemingly uninterested.

"I can't promise you that I'll do a job with you specifically right now but know the Jewelry store heist seems to pay well and is easy enough. I'm looking into a personal job that may or may not come through."

Unfortunately, the Blue Mare already has its fair share of clients, and with how low our finances are right now I can’t afford losing that income. But! I like you kid, and I like your plan. So, what do you say I give you some ten thousand bucks and you go look for another lace to host hat in? Don’t worry about not finding it right away, I know you’re new to the business and all that. If you can’t find a separate place, we’ll have it as a special service all Wednesdays or something like that, see if the people like it. And obviously, you’ll get your share! Everyone gets their share in my family, and you’re part of it now.

Shards of beautifully coloured glass rain down upon the crowd that had congregated before the church, courtesy of a few well-placed shots.

Rainfall quickly absconds from an abandoned building into the cover of the streets.

"Hmmm thanks for the offer, I'm flattered really, but I heard on the grape vine that some guy called Chaser needed a man for a job. So I'm going to be helping him with that."

Another beautiful day in neon-soaked streets of the city. The Kid's on a school trip. Something about "historic sites". Beautiful. Learning is all important, if you know your incans and your mayans and your chevaliers, you know how to make it big in the city. Well. Maybe not the city. But surely, *somewhere*.

A whole week of alone time turns into a challenge of logistics. It becomes apparent that one human being can only clean a house so many times. Steamed every suit, removed the chalk in the coffee maker, repainted the patio, repaired the fence, buffed up the doorknobs, re-assembled and cleaned the rifle collection, updated the safe locks, took out the trash, picked up a new shipment of munitions and the drill replacement, handloaded four clips of match-grade, two loads hollow, and that was only a day.

Gotta. . . Get something to *do*.

Ah. Yes. Of course. What every lonely soul needs: a steel chariot to tend to in the garage, decals to accessorise, an arcane vocabulary of engine parts to study and whisper to the self in the soft sounds of religious prayer.

With *this*, the Kid will never have to use public transport again.

A car, a bullet, a gun, a lane - what's the difference, in truth? They go fast, they get things done. The sleek curves of the vehicle rush a jolting thrill through the nerves. But.

No.

It's not enough. That was only the second day, alone, oil-smeared and wrench-mad, repeating words like "carburator" and "drive axis" in the faintly awed tone of the cult initiate.

. . . And that was Tuesday. Five days without the Kid, now, and the late-night thoughts are creeping in. The unicorn stares with its unblinking glimmer eyes. By the late night light of the tinged city, it whispers. The car, yes, the cars - the automobiles, the notion of speed interspersed with frugality, the economics of motion. It's a wise little thing, a dashboard angel. The Vespucci man has his hands in operations far and wide and the Familia Torino whisper of it too. That street, this night, that car, and afterwards: worn tires, missing engines and a pay-day.

chien knows cars now. Knows the paved road gospel, the brakefluid blues, the dance of the wrench. The streets aren't trafficked by vehicles. No.

Empress swims through the swamp water without so much as a ripple. She emerges from the waters wide-eyed and pulls her first victim down with a vice-grip, strangling the life out of them before they can even thrash in the water. There are cries in a foreign language from some of the men. “Gator, gator in the water!”
Empress swims away from the now-still body, finding dry land near the compound. She draws her revolver from a dry pouch and takes aim from a distance, waiting for an opportune moment. The gangsters bunch up at the side of the water, rifles pointed and ready for any movement. They open fire on a poor gator that decided to claim the free meal that was bobbing in the water. Empress methodically fires off revolver rounds into the backs of the gangsters’ heads, the noise of gunfire drowning out the splashes of blood and thumps of bodies dropping on the wood docks. She stows her now-spent revolver and heads further into the compound. All the security cameras can see is a swamp monster wreathed in algae and muck. Dr. Ben, Mizuchi, and Non Grata are free to collect all of the cocaine bricks and get the boat ready for an escape. Empress emerges minutes later with Veronica by her side. From the looks of it, Veronica is only a little bruised up. After making sure that the local gators get their fill, everyone boards the airboat and heads back home. Empress divides the loot four ways, giving a share to each of her helpers and the last 25k to Veronica as compensation.

The old mercenary was feeling good. Now that he was back in action, he had been feeling better and better. Slowly but surely, his body was remembering his years spent on the battlefield. Not onlu that, but now, he had a daughter to spend time with. And despite the awkwardness, he was trying his best to be there for her. All in all, things were looking up for the old man.

He was resting in his safehouse in Heat City, a pretty studio in the middle of Princeton he had bought years ago with the money from an old job, when his phone rang. This was surprising to him, this was his business line, a number that wasn't used much ever since he retired. He picked up, and found out that the caller was an old friend, a businessman he had worked with back in Africa. The man had an offer, he needed a fighter for something, and his usual go-to had been demolished by some young upstart. The merc sighed. "Fine. But you owe me. And I know just the way you can repay me."

Weasel answered Tony's call for help in establishing some of his businesses. For a moment part of her wanted to dance but Weasel realized she simply did not have the confidence to put on such a show for random strangers. Maybe if somebody like Mizuchi or Alan asked she wouldn't been as hesitant.

Instead, she tried her best, singing old folk and mythological songs that she could remember. They weren't her favorite but she felt like it gave her a certain character as a mysterious singer.

After her show was over, she made her way over to another one of Empress's black sites to extract information on their newest mission. Weasel didn't enjoy it so much but nobody else was willing to do it and the information could save them some trouble down the line.

Strings felt a little melancholic. Her parting with Ramirez was fairly abrupt and she understood that maybe her approach wasn't exactly the best. The young woman sighed then went towards her job at the Blue Mare where Tony Vespucci seemed to be recruiting for his group. She put on her best dress and got on stage.

Mizuchi flinches a bit at Tony's welcome, glancing away and scratching his head. "T-thank you for the offer Tony, I'm really thrilled my pitch is so good that you'd take me on as part of the Vespucci Family proper, honest. Hear me out here, ok, but I'm afraid I cannot rightly accept that." He'll take a step back, drawing his sword and examining it. "A year ago, I was a homeless rookie living hit job to hit job. It was liberating, enjoyable, but not very profitable if you're new, eh? Assassins are a dime a dozen here in Heat City, especially during the gang war. And I didn't exactly have the talent at the time to stand out from the crowd." He'll pause, this was...difficult to recall. "Sen-The Boss, hired me for a simple freelance job, boring stuff and I won't bore you with the details. I show up to get my pay, and she stops me before I leave. She told me I had drive and potential, even if I didn't understand it yet, and took me on full time. I was...ecstatic, I finally had a Daimyo to serve, well on her way to becoming the Shogun of these streets. I swore my blade to her, that I would give my life to see her dream come true." He'll put his sword away, sighing. "And now she's dead, and I'm still here, and I wasn't even there to see it happen." The young ronin shakes his head, clearing away those thoughts. "So until I make things right with her spirit, and spill Spider's guts across whatever sewer he calls home, I could never truly serve under another's ambition." He'll chuckle, turning red as he realized his samuraiisms had really hit a peak there. "I-I made that sound way too dramatic, eh? Soory about that. If you don't mind, I'd be happy to own and operate the Hostess Club paying protection and income to the Vespuccis, and your men will always be treated well there, I guarantee. I-if you're still wiling to help that is."

>>4893117
Mizuchi catches the tape, waving to Jackie. "W-wow! Thanks Jackie, you didn't have to go out of your way like this on my account. I'm still chewing through the tapes I got last time." He'll glance down at it and parse the title with his limited Japanese. Ah. That...that explained the mostly naked men on the cover. It was one of those tapes. Internally he swore at Mitch, who was probably laughing his ass off for hours after selling that to her. He'll blush, quickly tucking it into his jacket. "Uhm, I wouldn't know about t-this tape in particular, it's...uh...not my part of the scene. Usually they just come in batches as the fan translators get done with them, I think he's got some kind of deal with some of the local translation groups. Though you can pay him a premium if you heard about something specific you want brought over and translated...I think this is probably one of them. This...uh...isn't exactly /normal/ anime."

Tony claps at Strings’ performance, smiling under his hat’s brim
“Brava Miss Strings, brava! You really made the evening. I hope to see you again around here soon, Strings. You certainly left an impression on our patrons. Oh, a young man named Mizuchi might approach you with an offer. I suggest giving it a listen”

(I’ll pay for the clothes but WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP ASKING FOR ME TO BUY THEIR CLOTHES)

>>4893889
Tony smiles, a bit sadly. He knows this boy is young, and he understands how joining a criminal family all of a sudden can be… difficult. “But of course boy, don’t worry. I’ll fund your project, it’ll rake me a good coin after all. And don’t think too hard about my offer, eh? Just keep it in mind for when we shoot up that web-weaving fella. Remember, the doors to my house are always open for a hard working and loyal young man like you.

Oh, I almost forgot. There’s this woman, strings, I think she’d fit the bill for your “maid” project. I have also contacted your friend miss Weasel for the same job. Give her a call and meet Weasel at the bar, why dontcha. I’m not sure either will show up, but hey it’s an effort”

>>4893766
Tony, obviously, observes Weasel’s performance from the back lines, slowly clapping approvingly.
“Good job miss Weasel. Say, would you like to come here at this hour, tomorrow? Mister Mizuchi is trying to set up an activity here, and I think you might be able or willing to help him. You two youngsters are friends, right?”

In her small office in the safehouse cramped with filing cabinets, Claire is typing away when Alan knocks on her door. "I was wondering if there's anything I can do around here," he says. "I know you're busy with the logistics and finances and such. Could I be of assistance in any way?" Alan wears a polite, friendly smile on his face. The one he always wears. Even when he's twisting a knife into some poor fool's arteries. Especially then.

Claire is used to those kind of subtle, sinister, 'I'm friendly but am also wondering what your blood looks like on the outside' kinds of looks by now, what with the company she keeps. "Sure, Alan! As a matter of fact, I was just going to start work on a new project today. Think you can help me out with that?"

"Happy to help." Alan's real goal here is just to spend time with Claire, who he's fond of, so he already views this as a success.

Hours later, after a long afternoon and evening of sitting alone on a roof, Alan isn't so sure about whether this counts as a success. He shifts his cramping muscles. Next to him are paper coffee cups, and a box from a bakery with scattered cookie crumbs. Alan raises the binoculars to his eyes to take another look down the street. He's been watching and taking note of everyone going in and out of the big building down there, at the end of the street, without really knowing why. Claire said to do it, so he's doing it.

The building in question is the Golden Tiger, one of the more prestigious restaurants in the city. A two story building, red and gold, a big glowing sign of hanzi characters out front. They serve the premier Chinese food in the city, not the American version, but the real deal, with chefs trained by the best in the homeland. The patrons pay for quality. There are even rumors you can pay a hefty sum to access a special menu of illegal dishes, made from exotic or endangered animals.

The restaurant's entrance is front and center. To the right is an alleyway. A couple food delivery trucks have come in and out of there, so Alan suspects that's where the entrance is to the kitchen and storage rooms. On the left is an attached one-story building, some kind of martial arts school according to Claire. Alan's supposed to keep an eye on those as well, but mostly on the large front doors of the Tiger. The front has a generous waiting area for a lineup to spill outside onto the sidewalk, as well as space for several cars to pick up or drop off. As Alan watches, a group of well-dressed people exit the big front doors, talking and laughing. They step into the car waiting for them out front, and it drives off. It was closing time a while ago, but these last groups of stragglers are still heading out.

>>4894563

Alan hears a noise on the ladder leading to the roof, and his hand swiftly darts to one of his hidden pistols. But it's just Claire, waving as she reaches the roof and walks over. "Wew! I made it. Long shift at the precinct tonight. Nights are crazy around here, you know?" She raises a large grease-stained paper bag with the Burger Bomb logo, a stylized exploding cheeseburger. "Hungry?"

A growling stomach answers for Alan. He tears into the burger that Claire offers. It's been a while since he polished off those cookies from the bakery.

"You can head back," Claire says. "I'll take over from here."

"They're closing down for the night, though, right?" Alan asks.

"Yeah, but I still want to keep an eye on things for a while," Claire says. "See what they get up to after hours." She takes her binoculars back from Alan and starts readjusting the focus knobs. "You can tell me what you found out later."

Alan hesitates. His legs do feel like jelly from spending hours crouched at the edge of the roof. But the whole point of this was to spend time with Claire. He has to stall, or at least ask her something. "Can you at least tell me what this is all about?"

"We are hunting a mythological creature, Alan." Claire sets her sights on the restaurant's entrance. "We are hunting a dragon."

>>4894566

Meanwhile, at a certain warehouse in North Shores, blood drips into a growing pool on the concrete, underneath a chair. A few steps away, Weasel wipes off a pair of pliers and places it down on the table, next to the other tools. It's a shame Badger wasn't here for this one, muses Weasel. He was so looking forward to this sort of thing last time.

Leaving the tools and the blood, and the chair, and the thing in the chair, behind, Weasel walks to the warehouse office, which contains an old rotary phone. She dials the number she was told about.

"What did you find out?" Empress asks.

"He didn't speak English," Weasel says.

A long pause.

"Just kidding," Weasel says. "But seriously though, I couldn't understand some of what was he was saying? Maybe it was the blood in his mouth. Anyway, it sounds like their boss is this person they call the Dragon. She has some trick where she sets you on fire? I didn't really get that part. Maybe it's metaphorical, like she sets your heart on fire with passion? From the sounds of it, there's all kinds of heavy hitters at that martial arts school, but she has her own elite squad of four bodyguards. They train in different weapon styles. I wonder if we'll get to see what they use."

"That or they'll just shoot us," Empress says. "See if you can find out more."

"I don't think he'll be saying much else," Weasel says, looking back towards the chair. "But I'll try!" She hangs up the phone and starts walking back, humming the song she sang at the Blue Mare.

Ramirez is in a rare good mood when the Guardian Bank crew return. Probably because this is the second time he's lead a successful hit. Or it might just be because 320 grand is a ton of cash. "Alright everyone, nice work out there." It's rare for Ramirez to give compliments. "Heckler, I don't know how a marine of all people learnt how to hack, but that was slick." It's even rarer he compliments Heckler. "Rainfall, I don't know if there's anything you can't pilot, cars, choppers, hell." He turns to address Maggie. "Uh, you did good too." Ramirez doesn't know anything about Maggie.

>Splitting loot: $80,000 each, I get the Blue Disk.
"Anyway, I think $80,000 per person is a fair split," He continues. "Go wild with it, I don't care." Meanwhile he nabs the blue disc they'd got without even asking anyone if they want it. Rude.

Alan groans as he stretches his tired muscles and gives a sigh of relief.

"Wow that was cinematic, just gonna leave off with that huh."

The tired observer starts cleaning up after himself, picking up the empty box of cookies and shoving the coffee cups into a plastic bag.

"I'll get the film processed and a report on your desk hopefully by the time you get back."

Alan then perks up when he realizes something.

"Wait! I just had a thought, do you always do stakeouts on your own?" his eyes widen mimicking shock and his hand reaches towards her out of concern but stops when he realizes he might be overstepping

"Everybody in the crew knows you're overworked as all hell but I guess I didn't think too hard about who does the fieldwork."

"Rumour's going around that you're actually part of HCPD SWAT but you know... still can't help but feel concerned. The Crew's basically screwed without you if anything happens." Alan's eyes shifts to the floor out of embarrassment

"I could stay a couple more hours, we aren't hitting this place for a while and it isn't my first time pulling an all-nighter."

Mizuchi was shocked at how quickly Empress had cleaned everything out, he hadn't even had time to draw his sword. Still, better to have backup and not need it than the alternative, and he got paid too! Back at the safehouse, he'll approach Empress at her particular corner of the warehouse. "That went incredibly well, and I feel bad asking you for that favor like this after you did all the work on that job, but would you mind having an agent of yours look into something for me? I've got this idea for a club I'd like to open, and Tony's offering some financial backing, I just need a location."

>>4892789
Mizuchi was also here on a personal mission, he needed someone that could make Stormsplitter into an actual blade of legend instead of something he got from a pawn shop for a few hundred dollars. So it was that he stared at the map of the city in Empress's intel corner, searching for some kind of insight. Of course, finding a Japanese swordsmith in Heat City of all places wasn't going to be the easiest of tasks. However, all of the anime he had watched made him particularly good at abstract thinking. What would bring the wise old master he was searching for to this city in particular? Obviously the beach babes.

"Hey, Chaser. Hmm, let me see what've got here ... knocking over Jose Sierra's safe, huh? You, Strike, Brick and G.R. Hmmmmm. Well, you guys don't have much experience ... but you all seem to know what you're about."

At the stakeout:

"Swat? Hahaha, god, no. I could never do what Angela does, or you and the team. I mean, I carry a gun, and I make sure to hit the shooting range on the regular. I can take care of myself. But I'm not a fighter. I'm just fine with my cozy little desk and a stack of papers.

Heckler lies back as he begins calculating the costs of all the renovations he's getting to his buildings. While he did just receive 80k, he understood the necessity of laundering. Despite that, a nice 30k was still in the bank from the Plaza job. It was about time to make life better for himself, and to make that warehouse he bought look like a semi-legitimate business and totally not a cover for the underground fighting rings he was encouraging to take place.

The Guardian Bank makes the Evertons look like a child's piggy bank. With grand interior architecture, square marble columns, rich rugs on cold floors, and hanging American flags, it's like a temple to capitalism. And the gang are devout worshippers.

"Go, go, go!" bellows Ramirez, blasting covering fire from his shotgun as Maggie runs into a flanking position. She flattens her back against one of the marble columns, steps out with her pistols levelled, drills two into one security guard, then a second, then a third. "That's the last of the security, but the police are hot on their heels," Ramirez says, voice muffled by his usual mask, but comes in clear through the radios distributed to heist members. "Heckler, what's our status?"

"Ten seconds," Heckler calls out, intensely concentrating on the security computer, his fingers hammering on the keyboard. Rainfall watching over with katana at the ready. Heckler hits the last key just before the window expires. "It's done! I'm in!"

The huge vault door cracks open. Heckler and Rainfall run inside and begin fill to duffel bags filled with cash. Heckler is laughing. Rainfall is nervously glancing around, sure they're about to be killed by some security system they missed. Diced by lasers, maybe.

Ramirez and Maggie keep the front held down, hunkered down behind the marble columns, shouting down the hostages and blasting at any cops who peek their heads out. Heckler and Rainfall race up from the back, Heckler planting himself right next to Ramirez. He can't see because of the gas mask, but Ramirez knows his friend is grinning widely. "What did you find?"

"Hehehee! Remember the green disk?" Heckler holds up a blue-colored floppy disk, blank, with no labels. "I don't know what this is, but I think we hit the jackpot, partner!"

"Great," Ramirez says, reloading his shotgun shells. Police pistol fire slams into the column, chipping away the stone. "Now all we have to do is get out of here alive."

"Well, what are we waiting for?"

Many gunshots, several dead cops, and one thrilling car chase through the city later, the first Guardian Bank job is an unparalleled success.

Now let's check in on the other major jobs ...

Not much better. The hit squad alerts Jose Sierra himself, and they find out just how much damage a coked-up ex-enforcer drug baron with a giant custom machine gun can do. G.R. and Brick catch a bullet and almost bleed out on the way back, having to get dumped at the hospital by Chaser and Strike.

It's not great, but you're still alive. At least you didn't get fed to the gators.

Non Grata spends his downtime alternating between the library and the hunts his information sends him on, seeking out anything that could possibly have to do with the strange code-like number he discovered several weeks ago when breaking up the Jacks' party at Nebula.

12E219. What could it mean?

An address is his first instinct, but there's no 219th Street in Heat City. There is a 12th East Street, out in Sunset Beach, but all he finds there is a skate park and a bunch of teenagers in baggy shorts doing kickflips. Non Grata watches for a while, asks some questions to the teens, gets attitude back in his face. Kids these days ...

Could it be some kind of code? Try a few ciphers out of books in the cryptography section. ABEBAI. No, that's probably not it. LEUI? Unlikely. This could take a while ...

Many frustrated attempts and crumped-up pieces of notepad paper in the wastebasket later, Non Grata turns his attention to researching electronic locking mechanisms. The books pile up beside him. He's about to give up in frustration, when he discovers something, a reference which leads to an index which leads to an appendix. An obscure brand of electronic lock for high security lockdowns. One that uses a hexadecimal keypad ...

Mizuchi will nod, recovering his cool. "Thanks for understanding Tony. I know I'm...eccentric, in how I go about things, but it's what brings me joy. I appreciate it, and I'll keep it in mind. As for the ladies..." He'll scratch his chin. "I'll get to that, I'm waiting for word from Empress's network about a property I can pick up, don't want to get them onboard until I know it'll work out, eh? But thanks for putting the word in with them, it's a big help."

>>4895069

Mizuchi's wanderings lead him to a small beach bar on the edge of Surf Beach, drinking alongside an old man with the scars of a war veteran. "Took that one in Saigon," he says, pointing to them. "That one? Heh, well, that was from a punk up in an alley in Snake River. Fella had a knife. I made sure he didn't walk away, though." The old vet has ordered a bottle of tequila to the table. He refills his and Mizuchi's shot glasses with a practiced hand, places the bottle back upright. "I know what a killer looks like. You might talk funny, and you for sure need a haircut. But I know. I can see the shadow on you, son. I can see it in your eyes. It's death. For you and those around you. You're like a blade ... you only know how to cut." He picks up the shotglass, looks at the light shine through the amber tequila inside. "If you're looking for weapons, there's a place in Central. Go to Kessler Street and head east. You'll know the place when you see it." The old man drains his tequila glass, puts it down again. He stands up from the table. "Finish your drink, then get out of here. Don't come back. I'm old and retired, done with fighting, and I like this bar. Whatever you're mixed up in, I don't want no part in it." He walks back to the bar, leaving Mizuchi alone with the tequila bottle.

In the dead zone between Snake River and the industrial outskirts to the north of the city, where the last beams of sunset cast long shadows from factory smokestacks, you'll find an abandoned trucking road where weeds grow from cracks in the concrete. Here is silence, but for the sounds of traffic, and the nearby city. Travel a bit further, down the road towards the parking lot found under the shade of the highway overpass, and you can begin hear the wet smack of flesh being struck, the cracking sound of thick glass breaking against bones, the choked-off cries as lethal strikes hit their mark.

Eventually the sounds stop, all except for a woman's ragged breathing. A trail of blood, and cars with newly broken windows leads to the center of the parking lot. There Angela kneels, still catching her breath from the edge of exhaustion. Her own blood trickles from one nostril, and from a long but shallow cut on her thigh. Other people's blood is on her knuckles, and elbows, and boots. She's in the center of a group of four lying on the ground, men in dark suits. None of them are moving anymore.

Angela takes hold of a bent finger with the other hand, and, wincing, cracks it back into place. She shakes off the hand, looks around. There was still one more, right ...? Ah, there he is. Angela bends down, extracts her knife from one of the men in black suits, wipes it off on the suit, then limps back in the direction of the trucking road.

There she finds a fatter man, in a fancier suit. Still alive, but one of his his legs isn't working so good anymore. He's crawling along the ground in the direction of the road, whimpering, leaving a trail of blood. Angela looks in the direction he's crawling. There's a car there, a short distance away. A muscle car. Somebody sitting in the driver's seat. Another bodyguard? If so, he should be showing more concern over the state of his client.

Angela watches the big man, but he doesn't make any sort of move. She steps forward, holding the knife towards the fat man crawling on the ground, still with her eyes on the big guy. A quick thrust, a gurgle and a spray, and the fat man is dead.

Still holding the knife, Angela approaches the muscle car.

"Oh," she says when she gets close enough. "It's you. I should have known."

"They only paid me to drive," the man says. "Fighting costs extra. They didn't want to upgrade."

"Maybe next time they'll have learned their lesson," Angela says.

"Maybe," the man agrees. He lets that sit for a moment. The traffic breezes by on the overpass. "You know, Ange ... my contract's ongoing this time. Courier and VIP transport. We might be running into each other again. Might be soon."

"Is that going to be a problem?"

"You tell me." The man gets out of the car, stands up, straightens his jacket, "I know that sometimes, if you think that something's going to be a problem down the road, you like to stop it before it starts." He lets his arms hang ready at his sides. His hands curl into fists, relax again. "If that's what you're thinking right now ... you just let me know."

"Not today," Angela says. She checks her nose, plugs one nostril, and snorts a big gob of blood out onto the ground. "I'm tired." She sighs. "Ray, what are you doing? An ongoing contract for the Syndicate? What's this about?"

"It's good pay. But I could ask you the same question. You left because you believed in that woman. The Boss, you called her. She meant something to you, and I respected that. But she's gone now. Your group's a mess. You have no territory, no crews, no plans. It's just you and Claire and a madhouse full of inmates." He stares her down. "What's this about anymore, Angela? What are you fighting for?"

"I'll let you know when I figure that out," Angela says.

"You don't owe them anything," he says. "We could be a team again. Just the two of us and the road, like old times."

Angela walks on past him. "Be seeing you, Ray."

"Thanks for coming, everyone! Hope you had a great time out there committing crimes!" Claire is happy to see the gang assembled, as usual. "Let's get right to it!"

A few blurry photographs from the stakeout are taped onto the whiteboard, next to a map of a building. "A little background info first," Claire says. "We're going up against the Great Four, one of the heavy hitter enforcement squads for the Triads. Rumor has it they were out of the city last year, during the whole Patriot thing, which is why they never took him on themselves. Whatever happened, they're back, and without much of a Triad left to ally with, they've thrown in with the Syndicate instead. Their leader is a woman they call "the dragon". We don't know much about her, but by all accounts, she's pretty scary, so watch out!"

"Now, we found enough clues at the drug lab to get a good idea of where they might be centered, and some surveillance work confirmed it. Thanks again, Alan!" Alan waves and smiles on the outside, while groaning on the inside.

"Our target is this building complex, surrounding a courtyard," Claire says, pointing to the map she's drawn in blue marker on the whiteboard. "The main building is the Golden Tiger restaurant, here. There's also a martial arts training hall, a small office, and some other rooms we aren't sure about yet. The three team strategy seems to be working so far, so we'll stick with that."

Claire draws arrows on the whiteboard: on the left, heading towards the dojo; on the right, around through the side entrance of the restaurant; and in the center, going straight in the front door. "Whoever goes up the middle is going to attract a lot of attention to themselves, but that should give the side teams a chance to attack and set up in flanking positions."

"If those kung fu assholes were part of the Gold Tiger crew," Alamo says. "There'll probably be more of them in that there dojo. Maybe worse than them."

"True," agrees Claire. "That team will need to be ready for close quarters. As for the kitchen, well ... anyone know how to cook?" She lets out a weak laugh. "Okay, bad jokes aside, let's figure out how we're going to set this up!"

A sting of tepid distaste, the palm-itch that heralds trouble. Chien trusts discomfort snaking through his system. A sidelong sweep to check the room. Is anyone flinching extra? No. Rainfall is always flinching. Chien adjusts his tie. Finds the eye drawn to the grainy photographs, listens to the words his mouth makes with faint interest.

" I can cook. Ancient and honourable martial arts is such trouble. They don't drop right when shot.

I will take the kitchen. Provide a ride. Room for one passenger. Wetwipes for boots are under the seat, there is a cupholder, spare reload in the glove compartment. Try not to bleed on the leather. Minor detour post mission to pick up The Kid from friend's sleep over.

We will require options. I suggest we invite Svetlana and Rose, along with Ollie. see about the Doors. Three cameras - there, there - and blueprints. Rapid extraction. We must watch for the rooftop nin-jiat-su, whom intense perusual of Mizuchi's training materials informs me are highly lethal in close quarters. Inside, stash spare medical gear via courier. It will allow avoidance of casualties. "

Strings listens to Claire's briefing, calmly smoking a cigarette all the while

"Do we have any info on whether or not Cindy's been spotted in the area? I wouldn't want to group up only to get blown to shreds."

She takes a long drag, enjoying the nicotine running across her body then exhales a large puff of smoke.

"And you say that The Dragon is the head of the Great Four, what're the chances we can actually kill her this mission?"

“Always happy to help mom!” Alan beams at Claire’s attention

“By the way, do we have any info on what happened to Cinderella? That might be a problem and it’s one we should be prepared for.” He seriously didn’t want to run into more grenade wielding goons but at the same time he had another more important question.

“Ohh also do any of the crew have bounties? We fought those bosses and got paid for killing them but is there like money on our heads? Caphound, Mizu, Badger and Ramirez are pretty high profile and I figure by now they should be famous right?”

Riptide walked towards the Safehouse location, given to him by Alan. He hated how overtly friendly he acted, but at least he can be helpful.
His leg was banged up thanks to a failed hit, but he's still as fast as the average person.

As he walks in he realises this is the first time he's met Claire.
"Ah, mwasi na Heat City, we're doing a hit on batu na Chine? They have too much of a foothold in various places where I live, this will be good stress relief.
Also, there's something, a deal I want to make with you after this mission is done if that's fine."
The rest of the time he's silent, listening on the discussion for keywords, 'Cinder' or 'Cinderella' comes up a lot. Someone to watch out for? Explosives?
The Dragon, apparently she breathes fire. He's heard of people channelling spirits and animals, he knows about it, but Fire-Breathing? Sounds unbelievable, must be a sleight of hand trick or else she'd burn her lungs.

After his stint as the official fighter for some important conglomerate, Badger moved on to other things. He had a busy schedule, and his fight had left him with only a few injuries he could ignore.

Next on the bucket list was to drop by the Blue Mare to listen to his daughter sing. Wearing civilian clothing in public felt weird, but he didn't want to miss Weasel's singing. He spent the performance in a corner of the club, his eyes closed, enjoying a mojito with a faint smile on his face.

After all this, though, he still had some time left, and not much to do. But visiting the Blue Mare had given him an idea. From what he had gathered, Tony also owned a construction site not too far from the club. Working there would both help the old merc shake the rust off, as well as making some more money.

And so, one day, an old, yet surprisingly spry man in his fifties showed up at the construction site, introducing himself as "foreman Badger."

Tony was fiddling with his ring, an iron band with a large teardrop-shaped Topaz. He got it from his last heist, and was still proud of it. It reminded the mobster of how a well-done job could bring about great changes for the better, like having his own Family for example.

As he pondered this, he decided. The Italian rose to his feet, his goons Marco and Diego following him, pistols raised. “We’re going left”. He then fished a small bag out of his pocket, before adding “and I think these little fellas might be useful for this gardening project of ours”.

>>4895849

It's another hot summer night in Heat City. The Golden Tiger sign above the restaurant door glows brightly. The dark sidewalk lights up from headlights as a motley collection of cars, trucks, and bikes pull up and stop at the edge of the curb. Two dozen men and women, armed to the teeth, step out of their vehicles. Valets and the patrons smoking cigarettes outside split as fast they can. Traffic backs up and turns the fuck around. That leaves only the gang, and the doors.

Who wants to knock first?

Turn 1 begins.

Terrain legend:

Brown / Grey Stripes: Light cover. Tables, chairs, benches.
Gold: Heavy cover, breakable. Artwork, screens, light fixtures.
Red / Dark Grey: Heavy cover, durable. Pillars.

Nacho is busy studying his college books and snorting his coke, ese. He's a little shook from the last mission, but he wishes the gang well. Nacho will join again whenever his pockets are light, or his serotonin needs a spike...
