Campaign

The Five Punk campaign

History

The Five Punk squad was formed in early January 902SD by Operatives Grim Grimbola, Deject, Gerald, and Dirk Gently. The squad all graduated from Meny independently and were thrown together in Slayer's Crib by the infamous financier Crazy Herman. Later, the squad were joined by Gekijou Sumaniski and Emile Jaegerknack.

BPN History

Welcome to Mort - Blue

The squad was formed for this BPN, issued by Crazy Herman. Present were Grim, Deject, Gerald, and Dirk. The mission was to excort a team of three mainenance workers to a faulty pump in the overflow system near the CS2 wall. During the repairs the squad were attacked by around 35 carriens, including a Greater and a Mutant. The carriens were driven off, with Dirk and Gerald taking serious damage but recovering quickly (Dirk by his own healing and Gerald by regenerating). The repairs were completed on time and all maintenance team members returned safely. Gerald's armour, however, did not survive.

Loose Cannon - Yellow

Shocked at being actually approached by the squad, Crazy Herman gives them his best BPN - a mission to retrieve a lost FEN 400 Surekill sniper rifle from Kiestas territory. Herman suggests they pick up a couple of extra members for their squad, as their numbers have been depleted by Gerald 'visiting his mum'. Gek and Emile are introduced. The squad begin a thorough investigation of the squad that lost the weapon, dealing diplomatically with some slippery gang members and making some good character judgements that result in getting some of the suspects do do half of the work for them. The weapon is retrieved, but not before it is aimed at Dirk from point blank range, causing much sweating and defecating.

Peripheral Characters

Crazy Herman

The Crib's most notorious financier. The Five Punks have done okay so far, receiving two BPNs that were both possible and non-fatal. Hints dropped by various contacts have started to prompt the slow realisation that maybe Herman isn't the man for them after all.

Niall Ferguson

Human Investigation Op and leader of Red Ride squad. Ferguson held himself responsible for the loss of the weapon in the second BPN and put his neck on the line to assist in its retrieval. He feels he owes the Five Punks for possible bailing him out of a sticky situation with Cloak Division, but as he is still under investigation it is unsure as to whether he will be seen again.

Samuel Lourenco

Lourenco is a shrewd Kiestas leiutenant in the San Angel sector. The Five Punks have gained a certain level of trust with him through a bit of mutual help during the Loose Cannon BPN, and if relations are nurtured he could prove a useful contact.

Locations

San Angel sector

A Kiestas stronghold in Upper Downtown. There is a heavy trade in weapons with DarkNight here, and the local Kieastas are well armed and dangerous. The leadership in San Angel aren't stupid though, and are looking to divert SLA attention away rather than attract more through hostilities. Their diplomatic nature towards SLA is probably as a result of the friction and close prioximity of the Krosstown Traffic in the neighbouring sector.
