Topic: A New Age Dawns in Brockton Bay
In: Boards ► Places ► America ► Brockton Bay

Posted On April 7th 2011:
When most of us went to sleep yesterday Brockton bay was contested by three powerful parahuman gangs. The Merchants, who had cornered the market on illicit drugs. The Empire 88, who were a white supremacist gang. And the Asian Bad Boyz, who were led by the famous Lung.
Well today all three of these gangs are effectively defunct.
The entire super powered membership of these gangs are now residing in the cells of the local PRT. The gangs usual tactic of breaking out their captured capes isn't going to work this time because there's no one left to break them out. So it does look like the gangs of Brockton Bay are gone for good this time.
How did this happen?
As far as I was able to determine. The merchants got into a scuffle with the ABB and fled in a tinker tech vehicle. This vehicle malfunctioned in front of the Brockton Bay Public Library. This resulted in the vehicle exploding and taking out Skidmark, Squealer, Mush and Oni-Lee who had been in persuit. They were quickly apprehended by the PRT who responded to the incident.
As for the E88, it seems Lung and his newly recruited bomb tinker Bakuda (See her thread here) assaulted a meeting of the E88 where their full cape membership was gathered. They then proceeded to assault the E88 with tinker tech bombs and Lung. The end result, the entire E88 taken down and Lung caught in friendly fire. The Protectorate came in and arrested the survivors of the battle, including Bakuda.
So what does everyone think?
How will this momentous event affect the future of the bay?
Any ideas?
Edit:
On the subject of the New Age of Brockton Bay, many of us speculated that the new gang free bay might lead to heroes transferring out. While there are certainly rumors about that in the future, for now it seems our roster of heroes is expanding.
The Brockton Bay Wards received four new members today.
Insight – possible thinker
Cloak – possible shaker
Tripwire – possible blaster? Tinker?
K9 – possible master controlling giant dogs
There pictures of their debut can be found here.
What do you guys think about our new heroes?
Edit:
I had spoken too soon. It seems that one of the local wards, Shadow Stalker is indeed transferring out. Apparently she's leaving for special training pending transfer to another city.
This might be the start of many more moves from the city.

Damn…..
This is huge.
I know for a fact that a good section of them have enough strikes to make the birdcage.
Hookwolf, Lung, Oni-Lee, maybe even Bakuda. A lot of these guys are going away and we are never gonna see them again.

So the Protectorate and the PRT heroically came in and arrested the villains after they had done all the fighting for them? So that's why we pay all them taxes to keep them running. To come and arrest the left overs after the villains finish fighting between each other. (And wrecking half the city)

That's our PRT.
►MrBrown
Replied On April 7th 2011:
Even if what they did here was practically looting the battlefield you can't argue with the results. The gangs are off the streets.
► ConectedMonkey
Replied On April 7th 2011:
Assuming they can keep them off the streets.
Let's hope our PRT can manage that much. Now that the hard part has been already done for them.

Wait, wait.
Are you telling me that Lung! Fucking Lung! The guy that can fight off an Endbringer was taken down by friendly fire?
► Jinx
Replied On April 7th 2011:
He didn't get taken down. He got served.
See the thread here.
► SpecificProtagonist
Replied On April 7th 2011:
Fuck me Lung is dead!
What the fuck happened yesterday?
► Jumping_Jack
Replied On April 7th 2011:
Something definitely happened yesterday. This many capes taken in by the PRT in a single day? I refuse to believe this is coincidence. Someone planned this. A new villain maybe? Someone with a crazy thinker power….
► WingedOne
Replied On April 7th 2011:
I approve.
► SpecificProtagonist
Replied On April 7th 2011:
Maybe there's a new hero in town. A super thinker who debuted by taking out the gangs!

It's a ziz plot! This is her plan to remove the capes who could have defended the city when the next Endbringer attack comes.
► SpecificProtagonist
Replied On April 7th 2011:
Go away.

On a more serious note. This might actually lead to some transfers to and from the city. If the PRT manages to get them to trial and prison this time. The city will end up with a excess of heroes for the first time in well.. forver.
This will result in transfers.

Guys, just because the powered members of the gangs are gone doesn't mean their unpowered members are gone with them. Gangs like the E88 and the ABB had hundreds of members, most of them armed. A lot of them fanatical. Loosing their leaders might just drive them into a frenzy.
► ConectedMonkey
Replied On April 7th 2011:
If they have two braincells in them they will drop their colors and blend into the masses or just leave town. The capes weren't just their leaders, they were their protection. Without their capes they are just squishy humans, and a lot of people will want to settle scores with them.
►MrBrown
Replied On April 7th 2011:
I agree. They might cause trouble for a week or two. But with the Protectorate cracking down on them? With no capes to cover them? They are finished.
►ConectedMonkey
Replied On April 7th 2011:
Yes, the PRT would want to show that they are doing something after all.

I think them new wards resemble some villains that have been active in the city a little too closely.

Shhhhhhhh!

Replied On April 12th 2011:
Besides, non of them have done anything serious. They could have cut a deal.
► MrMister
Replied On April 12th 2011:
Maybe they saw which way the wind is blowing and decided to change careers?
► Jumping_Jack
Replied On April 12th 2011:
Except for one of them.
► SpecificProtagonist
Replied On April 12th 2011:
There might have been circumstances.

Replied On April 12th 2011:
Anyway let's not speculate on the identities of capes. We don't want to bring the ban hammer down on this thread.
►ConectedMonkey
Replied On April 12th 2011:
Good plan.

I am gonna miss Shadow Stalker though. She was the hero this city needed.
► Jumping_Jack
Replied On April 12th 2011:
But she sure as shit wasn't the one we deserved.
► SpecificProtagonist
Replied On April 12th 2011:
I think we will be saying goodbye to a lot of our favorite heroes soon.
► Jinx
Replied On April 12th 2011:
Hopefully our new heroes can pick up the slack.
► SpecificProtagonist
Replied On April 12th 2011:
Maybe we will get new transfers too? I want Mouse Protector!
► Jumping_Jack
Replied On April 12th 2011:
We can hope.
►MrBrown
Replied On April 12th 2011:
At least the PRT didn't waste any time capitalizing on this opportunity. I've seen the heroes patrolling at all hours. And they seem to be really cracking down on the gangs. I'm hearing news of raids and arrests every day.

Replied On April 12th 2011:
Yes! It does look like the gangs are going to stay gone this time.
