Anarchy in Atlantis (IC)

Cascabel stands up, but stays behind the couch. She sets her gun down. "I would have rather woken up another way."

I eat the chocolate bar and check the business cards.

"Given the map and cash, I think it's safe to say these guys were hired to clear this region by somebody. If they're doing this by print out, I imagine if they have friends nearby we have some breathing room. They might even be on their own. I think we need to decide whether we should make friends and try to protect this area, or look for a less under attack location to stay."

"This one said they were ordered to sweep the block, and gave the call sign 'bad hound'. Does that mean anything to anyone?"

What do we know about the other people in this block?

We're in an arcology. how high are the ceilings? what does access to the level above and below us look like? How big is this "Block"?

[Dalillama]

"Probably they'll be expected to report in to someone. We might want to be gone by the time someone comes looking for them. We should also see if they've already hit anyone else along here."

Breeze looks obviously at the chocolate bar "Awww, you could have shared"


"Do we have to move? That's a lot of work to move, and we took these guys out in seconds.

Maybe we could put the bodies outside as a warning to the next ones, and we don't want bodies in our living room."

The business cards are 5 in number. 3 of them are old Timaeus Dynamics brand cards that were used by middle managers (1 featuring the mascot of the corp), now scribbled over by new owners. The 2 that aren’t look to be recently made blanks that were written on. The 2 new and 1 old cards have phone numbers, callsigns and addresses written on them in black, blue and red pen. The other cards have only weird symbols painted on them in red.

The 3 callsigns on the cards are “Bad Hound”, “Left Eye” and “Broken Nose.”

You know that few if any people come around these parts nowadays - that’s why you decided to hole up here. It used to be lower class residences, typically the poorest citizens of the arcology. They fled this block when the fall came, to who knows where.

The ceiling of the area is only about half a metre higher than your head. The low budget and lacklustre maintenance is showing.

Accessing the other regions of the arcology depends on which part you wanna get into. Getting to most other areas from here means taking the monorail, taking an elevator, walking up big flights of stairs, or walking the “roads” where golf-cart-like transports and trolleys were used to transfer loads. However, the arcology’s infrastructure (like the maintenance tunnels and the water filtration plant) is harder to access due to actual security measures leftover from the corp days.

None of this takes into account any human opposition to your free movement, of course, just the physical dimensions of the arcology’s structure.

The region you’re currently in is about the size of two combined slum apartment buildings.

"It's on one of the business cards; I've got nothing else."

"Right. We either want to be gone or ready."

I stop, break off a part I haven't bitten and offer it to Breeze.

"I don't think the next group of people will be such push overs. Whoever they were sent by were probably fine sending someone disposible to scout the area."

Repairman Jack has Area Knowledge (Atlantis) Lived There of a 14. Streetwise of a 13. (I don't remember 'where to go' to roll). Do either of those give us any additional information?

So how tall is this "Region"? A single floor? What do the "Outdoor" areas of the Arcology look like? like if I go between two blocks, how tall is the ceiling there? (Mostly asking because drones).

"Ooh, thanks!"

Breeze happily takes and eats the offered piece of candy and eats it

"If we just run away, it will benefit these losers who sent the goons just as much as if the goons had killed us. Except they won't have to wash the carpets from us being ventilated and all.

I wonder why they even care? Who wants this flat enough to send a hit team? There are plenty of vacant ones.

Maybe there is hidden treasure or something is why they want everyone out."
