(Hey guys Alexrusso89 here and im going to do my best to describe the locations and stuff as best as i can because the Warhammer sets and locations are so well detailed hopefully i can showcase how awesome they are as i retcon the story a little bit anyway enjoy guys :) )
Hive Primus. a bustling and only main city on Necromunda, the fortified palace of Planetary Governor Lord Helmawr which is located at the top of the hive's spire. It is the largest hive on Necromunda, and is part of the Palatine Cluster, which consists of several hive cities separated by many miles but connected at different levels through a network of travel tubes and through roads across the wastelands.
Primus is effectively the planet's only spaceport, as it possesses the only shipyard and landing field large enough to handle orbital carrier ships. This is intentional on the part of the planetary government, as it ensures the planetary ruler, Lord Helmawr has a monopoly in off-world trade.
The Imperial Fists Space Marines maintain a fortress in the hive - the original purpose for the Imperial Fists' presence on the planet being to clear out an invasion of Orks, which had occupied and devastated three entire hives. The presence has since become permanent.
Necromunda's fortress-precinct - the Adeptus Arbites planetary headquarters - is also located in the hive.
Hive Primus's Spire forms the hive's upper layer, penetrating the cloud and pollution cover. It is the domain of the six Noble Houses and of Lord Gerontius of the Imperial House Helmawr. The Noble Houses consist of Catallus, Greim, Ko'Iron, Ran Lo, Ty and Ulanti.
Below the Spire is the Hive City, separated by a large adamantium barrier known as "the Wall". The Hive City is five miles in height and home to billions of people.
Below the Hive City is the more polluted, violent and lawless Underhive. There is no constant or definite border separating the Underhive from the main hive city. Fighting between the gangs of rival Houses is mostly confined to this level of the hive.
The very bottom of the Hive is a dangerous area that is structurally unsound and only mutants or similar dangerous creatures can live there. It is known as the "Sump" and is by all intents and purposes uninhabitable.
It was late in the afternoon Lady Jen Orlock had a solemn look on her face and in her hand was a piece of paper, She was on her way to see Lord Hagan Orlock.
Lord Orlock was sitting in his office. As the four people walked in, they couldn't help but notice the stern look plastered all over his features. House Orlock is one of the most fiercest houses in Necromunda, "My love", Jen began nervously, "I assume you've heard about house Delaques ".
"Yes I have", Hagan replied with a slow, deliberate tone, "I had high hopes that House Delaques wouldnt pull anything while i was gone." He paused and glared accusingly at the four, "Seems I was wrong".
Jen let out a little snigger before regaining her stoic image, "Something to add My love?"
"Nothing at all My lord", Jen replied, keeping her attention firmly fixed on a spot on the wall behind the rest of the group.
"Good because this isn't a laughing matter", Hagan barked, "those jackasses hasn't gone unnoticed. We've gone through eleven attempts in just over six months. Now guess what", he turned his glare on the four people, "Those cult bastards are coming ".
"Excellent", a feminine voice called out from the doorway. The occupants turned around and laid their eyes on a woman dressed in a black power armour with gold trims and a very familiar logo, a skull infront of an I.
She had brown hair that was pulled back into a loose pigtails and a smug look on her face that suggested superiority over everyone in her presence. Everyone in the room stared silently at the woman although Jen's face was flipping between disbelief and anger, "A welcome would be nice", she added, leaning against the doorframe casually in the process.
"I wouldn't want to push your luck". Hagan growled at the woman out the side of his mouth, "Why is a Inquisitor here", he hissed.
Jessi smirked in response, her response was interrupted by an explosion that shook the house.
"What was that !" Lady Jen asked as as security brought up video feeds on the large screen in the room feel with images of the Corspe grinder cult.
"Its those corpse bastard attacking us... Again , " Hagan said looking at the screen. " My lady" he continued.
"Well i have some business to attend to" Jessi said heading out of the room.
"Wait..., they're dangerous" Lady Jen tried to warn them.
" Dont you dare order me " Jessi spat as she continued walking away.
"...and here we are!" D3m1 took a swig from the bottle of beer he found in the propaganda center, letting the glass bottle come to rest on the table as he looked over at Severina, A Commissar saved from the Death Guard by Jessi, drank from her own. It was dark out now, and Jessi was still gone. While D3M1 wasn't complaining, he did wish she could hurry up. The beer the CGC morons had tasted like raw arse, and there wasn't much left. "I tell ya, Hive Primus is not what it used to. Thought there were the gangs and now the enforcers and these Corpse Grinder Cults everywhere, guttin' one another for the fun of it?"
"From what I know, there was, but then these Corpse Grinder Cult guys came along. Put them all under one banner or something," Severina took a drink of her own beer, sighing after she did. "If anything, it makes it easier. Now I don't have to go out and find them. They're all in one spot."
"Silver linin', right?" D3m1 attention was drawn by a noise behind him. The Tech Priest turned to see Jessi had returned, shaking her head as she walked right past them, and deeper into the propaganda center. "Oi, Inquisitor, you got something for us or…?"
"Huh? Oh, right, I think Shiv had something about the Martyr. I'm gonna have a look around. In the meantime, I need you two to run over to the Eacher's, see if you can grab some extra hands."
"And here I thought we'd be forced to run everywhere," Severin commented, putting her Auspex device away and getting to her feet. "Just tell us where to go. Beats sitting around here all day."
"Amen to that, sister—"
"Don't call me sister you Mech fuck." D3m1 just chuckled again. He was gonna enjoy messing with Severina. D3m1 hopped to his feet and tossed his bottle away, collecting his handgun and checking it.
"Sister Commisarr has a point," He grinned at her fuming expression. "Where do we go?"
"Industrial district I've been told."
"…well, let's get running. Sooner we do this, the sooner we get some wheels."
"Agreed, ill gather the others." Severina teased and got moving. He wasn't looking forward to the run, no, but he was looking forward to meeting these Escher's
They sounded hot.
Severina was…she wasn't sure how to feel. She and the others were standing outside the scrapyard Jessi directed to them, watching someone dispatch a ganger in a messy, but amusing fashion…someone who was…well, being nice, big.
"Oh, hey, you folks are that Inquisitor chick sent, right?" She had a rich, Southern drawl to her voice, the woman visibly quaking as she turned to look at them, smiling warmly. "I'm Ellie, good to meet'cha. Come for something important? Or," Ellie looked over at D3m1 and flashed a sharp grin. "Y'all come here for something else?" Severina was finding utter delight also in the look of pure fear in D3m1's eyes, though it was clear he wasn't gonna get far if he ran.
"The Inquisitor sent us to see if she could your assistance yes," Maya spoke up.
…eh?
"Well what does the Inquisitor have in mind?"
Regardless, the large woman hobbled off, directing them to follow, Lady Escher sat waiting at a rather large table. She rose when Jessi and her retinue entered after Ellie"
" Ah, the Inquisitor, what do i owe the pleasure of this visit?" Lady Escher wit a rather posh British accent.
" Information now"
Severina heard yet another explosion as she drove the Outrunner back to the propaganda center, looking over her shoulder to see Sister Kat, still in the gunner seat, yelling loudly as she fired the rocket launcher again, turning another enemy Outrunner into nothing but spare parts and bits. D3m1 and Dox-404 were unaccounted for. It wasn't a far drive, but Severina was taking all the detours she could, namely, to let Kat have her fun in blowing apart anything that dared to get within shooting distance, and considering the Gunner's aim, that was far.
"WOO! Another dead CGC fuck!" Severina found the Gunner's laughter contagious, chuckly earnestly to herself as she finally brought the car where it needed to be, hearing Noire begrudgingly disembark from it as the vehicle was digistructed and inputted into the machine.
"Looked like you were having a lot of fun out there, weren't you?" Severina asked.
"Yeah, sorta…sorta a bad habit, it's good to find fun wherever you can so you don't lose your shit and go crazy."
"And you find amusement in blowing things apart?"
"Yep. Ain't healthy, but…y'know, is anything in the borderlands healthy?"
"Ha, I suppose not. And, as a stranger once told me, healthy doesn't mean good…he then proceeded to eat a burger that I'm ninety percent confident was ratch meat…so..." Kat, of course, made a disgusted face, looking like she was about to vomit.
"Ewwwww…is that shit even edible?"
"I have no clue, nor do I intend to ever find out." Kat's laughter once again sparked some laughter from Severina too. She didn't expect to find friends in this shithole, but she was glad she did. No one said they had to hunt alone, after all.
"Awwww, are we interruptin' a bonding moment?" Severina glanced over to see D3m1 pull his own Outrunner into the station, hopping out along with Doz-404.
"No, just two girls having a pleasant talk, you fuck waffle." Severina spat. D3m1 just grinned once again.
"Ah, gotta try harder with your insults, Comissar. Anyhow, Sister Kat wasnt it?"
The group was finally glad they were given some direction from the Inquisitor; locate the Sun Smashers gang. The gang apparently found the Map to the martyr across the galaxy, and had planned to offer it to the Genestealer's to gain entry into their "happy family".
D3m1 knew for a fact it would end poorly. One didn't need to be self-aware to figure that out.
Kat stepped out of the Outrunner, adjusting the new sniper rifle that was picked up as she looked at the sunrise in the distance. They usually didn't like to stay up so long. Once they located the Sun Smashers and the map.
Advancing with the others, Kat was surprised to find the Sun Smasher camp in…well ruins. Not like it was abandoned, but as if it were assailed and attacked.
This theory was proven when D3m1 could see some cultists walking around, bearing the same, demented motifs as the cultists at the propaganda center.
"Shit, the CGC got the Smashers? Damn…get after them. Last thing we need is them getting their hands on the map." Kat heard the Jessi's voice. D3m1 and the others were already rushing in, the ganger doing the same, but at a belated pace, namely to take pot shots at the cultists with her sniper, killing them swiftly as she heard…yelling. Not frantic screaming, but like someone calling for help. Placing the sniper onto her back and drawing her handgun, Kat proceeding down a rocky path to…reach an odd sight.
A woman woth blue hair and basic imperium armour trapped in spme power clamps.
"Oh, hey, can you give me a hand here?"
"…and just who are you?" Kat asked. "And why are you...in the power clamps?"
"Oh, this? Just…well my gang didn't take kindly to the whole…well me trying to steal the map. A-Also my name's Noire"
"The map?" Kat stepped closer. "You tried to steal it; why?"
"Weeeeeeell, for a lotta reasons." Kat casually shot the control panel, sending Noire tumbling to the ground with a grunt. "…ow. That hurts…a-anyhow, who are you?"
"I am Sister Kat, hired help for Inquisitor Jessi." Noire's robotic eyes widened.
"Wait, you're with Inquisitor Jessi? Well we gotta find her! I got big news on where the map is!" Kat just stepped to the side as Noire ran right past her.
