New Albion

Assassination!

October 06, 2010 05:36

With the ever colourful Lochlan Finnegan at home with a massive hangover Freddy and Frank go out looking for some good paying work.

Upon entering there usual haunt (The Scummy Dive) they find that a rather unusual patron is stiring up a lot of talk, some suit wearing hobnob with a pair of similarly suited bodyguards is taking it easy at the back of the bar, apparently talking to no one and not drinking anything….odd for this establishment to say the least.

Well halfway through there pint Freddy Finnegan gets jacked into via micro drone (bloody neck ports!) and receives a direct data transfer Job offer, and so the boys have moved up in the world (or possibly just across it a bit) and have met there very first Johnson! Freddy handles the offer fairly well for a man with a data jack in his spine and the pair are soon off to find and retrieve the head of a Mr James Phillips.

Now Mr James Phillips head may not be so easy to retrieve, he’s currently using it and it’s fairly attached, this does not seem to present Franky Finnegan with much of a moral dilemma though as he stops by the hardware store on the way home to purchase a mono-filament chain-saw….

Now the mark is working for the Humanis Policlub and is in town to speak to there affiliates in the Human First movement of local New Albion, he arrives by boat early in the morning to a private dock near the Warrens and the boy’s have three days to deliver. After a lot of discussion and various thrown out plans (blow everything up? wait no head then, hijack the boat? we dont have a boat to get to it, pose as humanis members? wait..ork :P ) they decide to try and wangle a bonus by catching him alive and decide to ambush the party as they come ashore.

So the human Freddy infiltrate’s the dock laymen workers and Franky bribe’s the guards (rent ‘a cops from ’Chump Security’) they set up to lay a beat down on anyone in the way, the boat comes in, Franky kicks off with the distraction (i.e shooting the mark in the chest, capsule bullet with stun toxin) and Freddy steps up behind them and promptly throws his brand new incredibly pricey pistol in the ocean after an attempted double quick-draw….oops….he jumps after it leaving Franky out-gunned 9 to 1…

The next twenty seconds or so are rather crowded, Frank does his gun Fu with exceptional prowess dropping one man every 3 to 6 seconds with his twin Cavalier deputy’s and dodges incoming fire like a coked up hair on a hotplate, Fred having remembered too late that the waters toxic and now is covered in toxic burning water, at least he got his gun back. Just as Frank is getting overwhelmed Freddy makes a timely comeback and drops another body guard only to have his gun jam (it aint waterproof buddy) but the pair eventualy run off the remaining guards and leg it with there still living captive.

So in the end it all works out fine (well except for the guards, and the captive, and the rent a cops but hell that’s not what matters right?) and the lads get payed a handsome bonus and end up with a few new contacts amongst the shadow world.

The Beginning

September 20, 2010 21:21

So the Finnegan Brothers hit town, in a big way.

Arriving at a slimy dock in The Warrens, A shakedown turns into a job offer, the job offer ends in a shoot-out in a dark warehouse full of innocents* and Franky Finnegan being on the recieving end of a little ‘friendly fire’. After this brief yet memorable battle the lack of any survivors that can fight back ends up with the boy’s moving in and getting a roof over there heads.

After the fight the lads make a brief stop in at a back street clinic and leave Lochlan Finnegan in the hands of one Doc Kruger.

A local boy by the name of Cuff (ugly little sod) offers his services as a guide and font of local knowledge in return for sharing the newly vacated warehouse for him and his ‘family’.

Meanwhile the Boy’s go job hunting and on the advice of there new young friend end up at the poshest joint in the neighbourhood, a bar called The Scummy Dive. Meeting up with as yet unnamed man they take a job of giving a local gang house a sea side view.

Adventure abounds but after venturing into the Under warrens and being snacked on by a ghoul the boy’s leg it just in time for Lochlan’s home made boom-shine to go off and the whole place sinks into the floor…taking Lochlan with it.

Yet another trip to Doc Kruger wipes off half there profit margin but is well worth it, especially for the HMHVV infected Freddy Finnegan who manages to get a dose of the anti virus before succumbing to the Ghoulish infection.

So with a few precious acquaintance’s and a barge load of new enemy’s the Finnegan clan slinks off back home for a pint and a lot of sleep to be ready for a brand new day.
