OK, either I'm going crazy, or that cargo ship that's been across the mouth of the bay since the riots fifteen or sixteen years ago? You know, the fucking huge thing that's nearly blocked the entire entrance?
It just flew past my office window.
Seriously. Am I actually seeing this? Or is this some bizarre hallucination, or a bad trip or something?
Because if it's actually REAL there's something very, very strange going on.
Look. Can anyone else see this? I'm genuinely worrying about my sanity...

There aren't any Tinkers around who could FLY a 35000 ton SHIP around like it was a damned kid's toy! Not around here anyway, as far as I know. So I doubt that's the cause.

So how did it just up and fly away? They pumped it full of helium or something? :D
And who is they anyway? One of the gangs, or some independent? Maybe a new Trigger?

No, I haven't heard anything from any of my normal contacts. But the PRT is going insane from what I can tell. They're launching a VTOL to track it right now, I can see it prepping on the pad.

So you think we got a new Tinker triggering in the bay and the first thing they did to announce themselves to the world is basically steal a giant wrecked ship? Bit obvious of them, isn't it? And who owns those other ones that are following it?

Hey, Bagrat, any news on whether the Protectorate is investigating as well as the PRT? I bet Armsmaster is looking confused... :D

It's got to be aliens!
You know I'm right this time.

The day you're right is the day I'll go swimming with Leviathan in a bikini.
And you know that no one wants to see THAT.
Leviathan in a bikini? Where would we get one in his size? ;)
(Seriously, you're wrong. As usual.)

Are these aliens demons too this time? Or are they just the normal sort?
I lose track. Although I liked the lizard aliens. Have you seen them again?
:D

In a desperate but no doubt futile as usual attempt to drag this thread back to the actual subject, do we have any PRT people here who can actually give us information rather than just random guesses?
I'm still watching thousands of tons of ship float around like it was cotton candy so to be honest it's kind of freaking me out.
Where's it going?
Who's doing it?
HOW are they doing it?
WHY ARE THEY DOING IT?
I need answers...

It's pretty cool though, right? And I bet the mayor is dancing in his office :D
►Bagrat (Veteran Member) (The Guy in the Know)
Replied On Oct 8th 2010:
I still can't find anything concrete out, but I'm working on it.
It seems likely that the PRT and the Protectorate both will be investigating though.
And yes, FoxPix, I expect the Mayor is quite pleased :D
I don't think the other authorities necessarily are...

I'm not at liberty to say too much as the situation is clearly in flux, but I've been authorized to comment that this is not, as far as we're aware, an attack of any form, nor is it the work of a villain.
Who it is the work of is something we're attempting to determine.
The public is urged to not panic, remain away from the scene, and not interfere. Please. We all remember what happened the last time ;)

That sounds like a government coverup to me. Bet they don't want us knowing about the aliens!

Hey, guys? I'm pretty sure those trawlers belong to the Dock Workers. I go fishing off one of the wharfs down there on weekends and I'm sure I've seen them moored on another one. The blue and yellow one is pretty distinctive.
And the big ship is heading towards that end of the bay too. Are they involved?
Another thing, for the last month or so there's been a lot of activity in some of the buildings there, and I've seen quite a few big trucks coming and going. That's more evidence that something's up, in my mind.

So you think the DWU got themselves a Tinker or something?
By the way, is it DWU or DWA? I've heard people call it both the Union (always capitalized, they seem proud of it) and the Association. What's the difference?
►Bagrat (Veteran Member) (The Guy in the Know)
Replied On Oct 8th 2010:
It used to be called the Dock Worker's Association in the 60s, but the older name was the Dock Worker's Union, and they seem to have gone back to that sometime in the last twenty years. Of course it was originally the Brockton Bay Longshoremen and Stevedore's Union, but that was a long time ago.
Still working on getting more data. Thanks for the input, Reave. Anything else you can pass on would be gratefully received.

The damned thing just splashed down right next to the really long wharf down at the Union place, I can just see it if I lean out the window with my binoculars. So it looks like they are involved somehow. Those trawlers or whatever they are seem to tying up next to it but I can't really make out much from here.
How the hell did they do that?
And of course, why? And who helped them?
It's gotta be a Tinker, but like other people said, I don't know of any around these parts who could do that. And I'm kind of drawing a blank on any that could, to be honest.
Must have cost a fortune though.

Dockworkers? Really?

They ARE oddly competent, though. I mean, they're still there even after all the shit that's happened in this place over the years. Bit suspicious if you ask ME... ;)

Huh. I just saw about five PRT trucks go roaring past in that direction, along with Armsmaster's bike, and three BBPD cruisers. They seem to be in a hurry :)
