The PRT is confirming now that earlier today Celestial Being engaged and defeated the Slaughterhouse Nine. Jack Slash, the Siberian, Shatterbird, and a villain known as March are deceased at the scene. Crawler has been imprisoned and is stated to be in custody.
The status of Bonesaw and Burnscar is unknown.
(Update): An outbreak has occurred in Brockton Bay. The perpetrator is likely Bonesaw. If you live in Brockton Bay please stay indoors and report suspicious activity to an emergency line.
(Update): News reports are reporting four dead at the Brockton Bay Municipal Courthouse.
(Update): The PRT is now reporting that Bonesaw has been killed by Newtype and Veda in Kyushu. No explanation was given for how that battle ended up there and I need a very unprofessional amount of booze.

I just want details. The PRT has had troopers for decades and they've generally been support for the heroes. The way CB is making it sound this was the reverse. The heroes ran interference while Tekkadan blitzed the Nine and took them out.

Um. Veda pointed me here and Newtype threatened something I'm not sure I get if I didn't say something.
I'm not sure we deserve that much credit. The whole plan was Forecast's doing and we used some Tinkertech weapons and a Gundam to get the job done. Defiant and Bakuda did a lot of the work of luring the Nine out and Forecast distracted Jack and Bonesaw.
We also lost one of our own. Ban. He didn't have a last name. He came from Korea originally. He helped force Bonesaw through a portal to Kyushu. Newtype found him when she went after Bonesaw. Not really sure what else to say about it. I guess I'd like it if people remembered his name.

The PRT has been trying to do that for years. You can only supply regular people with so much tinker tech. Now that Dragon is gone and they don't want to pay Newtype for it they can't even supply those gold armor guys right anymore.
CaptainObvious
Posted on November 20, 2011:
Oh shit. The Helpers! Newtype is already mass producing tinker-tech. She talks about wanting to do it all the time. Yeah the gold armor guys are going away but that's just because the PRT doesn't want to pay an outside tinker for them. No one said Newtype couldn't do it in terms of tech.

Posted on November 20, 2011:
Alright you guys know the drill. Check out our podcast for the full show. We'll be posting EDITED video hero with a brief summary of what it depicts and what we did. No one from Celestial Being volunteered to participate in this episode but honestly being able to view raw footage of a cape fight was worth it. Intense as shit, but worth it!
Video 1; This video depicts an initial fight involving Defiant, Bakuda, and three humanoid robots piloted by the Haros in a battle against the Siberian, Crawler, and Shatterbird. This video was delivered to us damaged and cuts out at a certain point. See the full episode of what CB says happened during the fight and how the Siberian ended up elsewhere! We've added censor bars to this video where the Siberian appears. Video 2: Parental advisory on this one. To my knowledge there is no other video of Jack Slash and Forecast spends at least eight minutes talking to him here. We've included censor bars to this video where the Siberian appears. Video 3: Short video depicting three young men approaching a white van and talking to a man inside. We've edited names out of this one at request and blurred faces. CB confirms that the video depicts the death of the 'real' Siberian. Check the timestamp with video 4 for where Siberian vanishes. Video 4: Very graphic but probably cathartic. We've edited out names and faces here except for one member of Tekkadan named Ban who reportedly passed immediately after this video. Salutes to him. We've included censor bars to this video where the Siberian appears and have covered up graphic details of Jack Slash's injuries. We've additionally censored the death of Shatterbird. Video 5: Video picks up where Video 1 lets off. March appears and is drawn away. The video depicts the capture of Crawler by Bakuda and Tekkadan. We've edited out names and faces here as with other videos at request. Video 6: Short video depicting the death of March. We've cut the video right at the end because no amount of editing is gonna hide what happens. Don't worry. We're pretty damn sure March is dead. Video 7: Short video depicting the death of Bonesaw. We've edited this video to hide her face and to cover up graphic details about her injuries. Be advised that this video extensively features the city of Miyazaki on Kyushu.
Yes. We also noticed the girl cape running around in the videos but we're not sure what to make of her. Her costume is similar to those used by Newtype and Laughter. She doesn't seem to do much more than shout and wave until near the end of Video 6. CB isn't talking about her.

This is probably how most cape fights are. I mean, those of us who follow it kind of knew that already but seeing it is another level. This is why the PRT rarely gives out video or anything. Cape fights are brutal.

Would anyone really be comfortable if she could?
MarineSam
Posted on November 20, 2011:
Crispystream, Maybe because letting people know she exists is more valuable than pretending she doesn't. Looking at the video no one actually pays her much mind. They ignore her almost immediately after she gets their attention.
Now anyone who goes up against CB has to consider a stranger they can't see or notice every time. That's a huge complication especially since she could very well not be there at all.
Love the cast by the way. I never knew there were so many uses for donut holes!

Thread, the last time a big cape showed up on a late night talk show was right after Legend came out. For those who don't remember, Azrael's predecessor made it a living hell. I don't think you can even find the episode anywhere anymore. So many explitives and bigoted comments were thrown Legend's way the network ended the entire show.

I honestly didn't think any late night show with a cape guest could go worse than Legend's last appearance on the Tonight Show but I was fucking wrong. Not entirely wrong because I knew it would be a shit show but I was still wrong.
Newtype just declared war on Blue Cosmos. Or something like that? I'm not even sure, this is so mind blowing.
Breaking it down it's pretty normal for Newtype and Azrael right up to the point she accuses him of hiring an assassin to kill Wards.
It spirals from there.
Newtype takes over the whole show, basically calls the audience out on letting Azrael do all the shit he does. She steals nearly five hundred million dollars from Blue Cosmos on live television. Then she says that 'it's over' and I'm still trying to parse exactly what she meant which seems like something she did on purpose because I can't tell what the exact limit is.
She says that anyone who tries to use violence to get what they want will be 'relieved of their ability to do so' and that seems like the part that we should really be puzzlng over because what does she mean by that right after jacking five hundred million dollars just because one guy decided murder for hire was a jive we can all dance to?
I'm just saying I hope someone picks up that phone because I fucking called it!

The accounting isn't made up.
It's complicated because how money moves through shells is obtuse but it looks like CB hacked all of those servers and pulled the transaction information. They basically have a straight line between Blue Cosmos and a series of accounts that received payments regularly. One amount a few days before an attack and another almost immediately after the successful ones.
They were paying someone to kill Wards and paying half before and half after success.
That's not even the only apparent crime. The accounts CB put up include clear evidence of money laundering, fraud, tax evasion, and a mistress on the side. All of this is published information and there's lots of people explaining it.

Thread, Veda isn't moderating this thread precisely because she knows better. The rules don't stop just because people are angry but we're accustomed to Blue Cosmos thinking special rules for special people are the only things that matter.

Leave it to bigots to decide being called a bigot is the real intolerance. Especially when it's getting called out for what you do, not what you are. Not that they won't make it about what they are because they've got nothing else going for them.
I'm saying there's lots of tiny dick energy in here.

You might not be trying to shoot down the moon or take over the world but it's your exact brand of idiocy that brought it all to this. The violence being perpetuated by anti-cape morons is violence you and all your friends decided was just fine. So long as it didn't blow back on you of course.

It's not that simple and that's not fair. Blue Cosmos obviously has some assholes in it but that's not grounds for what Newtype is doing or making everyone guilty by association.

3ndless (The Guy in the Know)
Posted on November 22, 2011:
Detailer, asking the real questions.
Alot of Case-53 capes quit the Protectorate and Wards. A few have even left their gangs. Canary's been having quite a few of them around her for the past few weeks. Canary is a member of Londo Bell.
If we assume the Case-53s are banding together under Londo Bell and throw in all the other associated capes, that's almost 200 capes now.

Let's be real here and ask the question yet again.
Newtype is bending the law hard here if not outright breaking it. She's got maybe as many as 200 capes working with her. That's more capes under one banner than anyone who isn't the Protectorate, and does the Protectorate really have anything left for a fight like that?
Who is going to stop her?

I'm not much of a talker even if people say I am.
Over the past few weeks a lot of Case-53s have found it impossible to work with the Protectorate or the Wards. Our faith got shaken when Façade accused the Triumvirate of being behind why we are the way we are and the honest truth is a lot of us didn't want to believe her.
Then the attack on Dragon happened and Rime got tangled up in the mystery of Cauldron.
At that point most of us couldn't do it anymore. We left the Wards and we left the Protectorate in spite of all the great people we knew who honestly wanted to do good. It just wasn't possible to ignore that we didn't know who we could trust. All we had were each other.
And that's how we're going to stay now.
I'm here to announce the formation of the Irregulars. We may have lost faith in the PRT, but we never lost faith in being heroes. If anything, some of us who were on the wrong side of the law have found our hope again.
We still want to be heroes. It's what we have left. We're here to help.

Posted on November 22, 2011:
Adereste, There are about 70 of us, but despite the name and face not everyone is a Case-53. A few are good friends or other capes in similar situations to us like Jillian Monroe (Wormwood) and Cecile Nunyez (Jurassic). Rachel Lindt (she likes Bitch. We know, but it's what she likes) is also palling around and we're keeping her out of trouble.
Senfan, Because Newtype has been very supportive since these problems arose, and the honest truth is most of us trust her to not be a secret piece of shit. Which is kind of a big deal for us right now. Londo Bell affiliation gives us more security for ourselves than being part of the Wards or Protectorate.
Tolentarian, Yup.

We're kind of going on a tangent here. The original topic was trying to figure out how many capes Newtype has. Not whether or not she's right or wrong.

There's also the ongoing question of exactly what Newtype means. Stopping the hiring of assassins is one thing but surely she'd have said that if it's what she meant. Is she going to go after Phantom Pain? What about Blue Cosmos at large beyond Azrael?
