Last Night in the First Ward
Seer 4032 was loitering near a rock, and overheard an interesting discussion between Mistress Vyera and Exo Harvard regarding secret matters. She then noticed some people she couldn't read, and tried chatting to them, but they mostly ignored her and one even got quite angry.
Then things turned violent, and she decided that the big imposing suspect would be suitable to help her out, so she attempted to make sure he didn't get caught. But he didn't listen to her, and ran off, so she returned to her rock briefly, before heading off to find someone to fix the bullet wound in her arm.
Subsequently, Provost Walker's tea and crumpets were rudely interrupted by Mircala and her gang smashing up his D.U.S.T. office. Not caring *why* they were in his building, he went to smash things himself. He is pretty sure Deathelocke will be in pain for some time, after been on the receiving end of a Caleb-Walker pile-up, after being shoulder-slammed by full power force gauntlets, but ultimately he was outnumbered and surrounded by incompetent rangers, and was forced to withdraw to patch himself up. His opinion of D.U.S.T. is lower than ever, and he is going back to Nova Praetoria to see Marchand and petition for the deployment of his Titans.
Last Night
There were shenanigans in First Ward. Vyera (or was it Venom?) met with a member of the authorities and handed him important information about known felons. The meeting was interrupted by more criminals, Venom (or was it Vyera?) told her companion to retreat but bravely remained to help defend the local representative of law and order. Help was had from an undercover agent and reinforcements arrived in the shape of a Praetorian Jake. Who quickly got into a smackdown with Caleb. Unfortunately, this ended in a rather undignified way when Caleb got help.
Meanwhile Vyera (or was it Venom?) had retreated injured to the D.U.S.T. compound. Which was broken into by the pursuing criminals. The troops managed to put up just enough fight for Venom's (or was it Vyera's?) companion to get her out the back way. Although not without leaving behind a rather incriminating article of clothing...
However, it turned out that Smith was not a time-travelling Terminator
does Praet Jake wear a hat ??

Anyway yes, Vyera met a loyalist to talk about somewhat questionable things in a supposedly secluded spot in First Ward. She did that, but then became somewhat suspicious when a nearby seer referred to fleeing suspects. She disguised herself as Venom and flew up to take a look and spotted Caleb hiding behind a rock.
A fight then erupted between the Loyalists and Resistance, with Vyera content to sit there invisibly watching the fight. Until she got bored or something, and decided to start going after the Carnival of Light member. This attracted some attention, and she decided to scarper. Unfortunately, someone managed to shoot her, and being completely invisible isnt too useful if youre bleeding profusely.
Anyway, apparently everyone decided they had nothing better to do than follow and invisibly bleeding person, so the entire horde of Resistance people followed Vyera into a DUST base where she had fled.
Fortunately for her, while the quartet of DUST troopers standing watch at the door did delay the Resistance forces for about five seconds before being cut down, they did somewhat tip her off that she was being followed. She ended up cauterising her wound to stop the bleeding and hobbled as quickly as she could to find Lucille (who had been told to go hide somewhere not obvious when combat started going down) and running away.
As Vyera was hiding round a corner stopping herself bleeding, the commotion at the door had caught the attention of a DUST Leader, who went to investigate and also ended up dying messily, but not before sounding the alarm. Three nearby DUST rangers who were in the security office ended up running in to assist, and then discovering things were rather nasty, so they fell back into the lab and took cover behind the workbenches. This didnt do much to save them, and they were promptly squished.
They had, however, bought time for the DUST forces to rally somewhat, as a quartet of three Rangers and another Leader set managed to set up another barracade at the end of a corridor, laying down suppressive fire and frag grenades. The Resistance Terrorists were able to seek shelter in the security office, which was to the side of the corridor, and Caleb ended up throwing one of his plasma batteries at them.
Meanwhile, DUST troopers were hastily trying to activate some of the floating gun drone turret things the IDF has. They were able to get one set up at the top of the stairs, ready to lay down heavy plasma fire. Unfortunately, they ended up being quickly taken out through a combination of mind control and people flying at them above their line of fire. The second team, unable to advance, just ended up setting up the turret in engineering bay.
Meanwhile, as it was becoming increasly clear the base wasnt going to be able to hold off against the Resistance fighters, the DUST personnel began a full scale evacuation, setting up a half dozen proximity mines in the mess hall to buy time. It was around this point that Provost Walker entered the fight, and also Vyera managed to limp to the mess hall.
The Resistance forces proceeded to punch Walker in the face enough times to force him to mediport out, and then proceeded to drop part of the ceiling on the one remaining gun emplacement, horribly killing one of the DUST rangers, blowing up the turret and causing the other to flee into the mess hall.
Our heroes then burst into the mess hall, and were somewhat suspicious of the complete lack of anything there. One of the Resistance members flying up to get a good view quickly determined the presence of the mines, although there was some debate as to how to get passed them. It was at more of less this point Vyera managed to reach the control centre and hastily drag Lucille away, leaving her orange jacket in the process.
Eventually, after some squabbling, Caleb managed to disable most of the mine by punching the ground hard enough to cause a shockwave. He then decided to try this again, and, after determining the location of the remaining mines, wandered up close to one of them to try again. Unfortunately he wandered a bit too close, and the mine detonated. After this, the final mine was destroyed by shooting at it.
With the final defences dealt with, the Resistance forces stormed the control centre. Unfortunately for them, the control centre was protected by a couple of rather large blast doors. These were dealt with and they finally managed to burst into the haistly evacuated control centre. Caleb, somewhat annoyed that everyone had run away, grabbed the ostentatious jacket and left though a hole caused by them blowing up all those mines. Mircala, however, decided to stick around and look for some actual clues, and downloaded a whole load of information of the bases computer system before setting the generator to overload.
And that was that.

Last Night in Studio 55...
Titan Twelve, her dog and an attendant seer found themselves joined by an oddball bunch of loyalists. Talk of 'official business' soon drifted onto the subject of ghouls and who was responsible for them. The idea of rounding up a bunch of glory-seeking powers division types and tasking them with clearing the tunnels met with general approval. After briefly skimming over whether questioning if the ghouls came from Lambda sector was appropriate thinking for a loyalist, the conversation diverged onto other topics, such as Praetor Duncan's powers, or lack thereof, and Praetor White's love of dancing.
After everyone left, TT went to report interesting things back to her boss, and send her seer in for recharging, or whatever it is seers do when they aren't on duty.
After a very quiet week, Alice danced for a very strange person, who thought fighting demons was fun, and also thought it would be more fun to fight Praetor White than sign up for powers division. Since Alice thinks that people who claim to live in the sky are probably a bit loony, she later did her civic duty and reported the stranger to the friendly neighbourhood PPD office.
Last night..
While randomly jumping in swirly portals to try and find the one back home, Great sage without equal and legendary heavenly warrior Son Pun found a strange place with weird lights, and recived a table dance from a bird woman, who was very boring and cowardly, she claimed to be a canary, Son Pun is sure shes really a chicken woman!
Apparently chicken woman is content never to have adventures, so Son Pun left in search of one herself!
Brawling Cactus from a distant planet.
Last Night...
Alice had a brief chat with the Evaluator, before he parted. Rumour has it that ghouls are getting out of the city. Alice doesn't see this as a bad thing, because it means less trying to eat her.
After than, Pun turned up, being her usual strange self. Her strangeness was forgiven, however, because she engaged in a dance-off, which Alice clearly won, being the best dancer ever.
((Since GG and PD both have one...
))
Mircala the evil resistance member (currently wanted for attempting to blow up one of anti-matters reactors, attempting to blow up neuron's tower and collapsing part of the tunnel network under Neutropolis) decided to try and infiltrate the syndicate. Luckily, powers division learned of her fiendish plan and Sound Bite, the heroic saviour of the people, was able to intercept her.
After despatching two groups of evil syndicate criminals, the stalwart Sound Bite confronted Mircala on the roof of a skyscraper where she was attempting to flee on a helicopter. Knowing that a mere resistance member was no match for a proud warrior of Praetoria, Mircala called in a swarm of syndicate underlings in an attempt to overwhelm Sound Bite. It was a futile effort, however. Always thinking one step ahead, Sound Bite had called for backup and the indestructible Warforge arrived in time to crush the syndicate and save Sound Bite.
The two confronted Mircala, but the cowardly resistance member fled, leaving some strangely clad person to fight for her. He was easily despatched by the two valiant heroes, who then daringly teleported onto the helicopter as it left to finally capture Mircala. Alas, it was not to be. Too terrified to face her pursuers in person, Mircala left a robotic duplicate of herself behind and rigged the helicopter to explode. Luckily, Warforge was able to smash a hole in the side and escape before it exploded, aided by his impervious armour.
The coward Mircala lives for today, but the people of Praetoria shall not forget the sacrifice of heroes such as Sound Bite, who will always be willing to risk their lives to make the city safe.
