October 10, 2018 Tuesday The group has an appointment at LexCorp. Lex Luthor is driving Cassandra Clemons and Prometheus Medical Technologies (including The Prometheus Foundation) out of business. He (Luthor) can’t touch Prometheus directly because Cassandra owns 51% of the company but Luthor is taking control of her suppliers and customers putting the company in a strangle hold. Lex agrees to release his stranglehold on Prometheus if the Brooklyn Brigade will help Doctor Bearclaw test a new defensive system. This system will do much to protect the Earth from the threats posed by aggressive aliens. He claims not to know the details of what the system is or how it works but promised the head researcher of the project that he would assure the help of the Brooklyn Brigade in testing the project. And Lex Luthor always keeps his promises. Doctor Bearclaw is waiting for them in the conference room on the 75 th floor of the tower. If at least one of the Brigade will talk to Bearclaw Lex will consider releasing Prometheus. If no one talks to him then he will make sure that Prometheus fails completely within a month. Constable asks Lex to validate his parking, Lex tells him to see his executive assistant Mercy and she will do it for him. Constable then leaves. Paladin, Kismet, Bear, and Lady Paper go to see Doctor Bearclaw to find out more about the defensive system. What they learn is that the system is synthetic pseudo Kryptonians; loyal, reliable, and mass producible. When asked ‘loyal to who’ Bearclaw answers to whomever purchases the system. Bearclaw says that the United Nations and the United States would benefit greatly from an army of pseudo-Kryptonians. Bearclaw says they already have two prototypes and he wants the people who defeated the Eradicator to help test his synthetics. If the synthetics defeat the Brooklyn Brigade that will be phenomenal advertising but if the Brigade defeat the synthetics that will help show what needs to be improved upon. The group declines the offer. They won’t be a party to slavery. Pseudo-Kryptonians are just another thing on their list of worries which currently includes loosing the base of operations, the vehicles Cassandra puts at their disposal, their paychecks, and her considerable connections with the world of government and high finance. October 10, 2018 Tuesday Flashback: Paladin contacts Nardini about getting manpower to after the Bratva The Plan: Paladin Informs NYPD about their plan Kismet has gotten the warehouse with a perch for surveillance. Bug is made, passive, won’t transmit unless it gets a signal from outside Place Micro-detonators in the DARPA weapons. Paladin gets camera and shotgun microphone. Individual Constable will get Polyweave Clothing suit loc 7 to 16. 9RPD/0RED Act 14 or less. Constable goes to the tea room and offers to sell advanced weapons. They set up a time for Boris Antonov to broker a sale for them after they are demonstrated the next day at 4PM. October 11, 2018 Wednesday 4PM Twenty officers go to the sting location and hide. Paladin gets in position to see and record both audio and visual of the meeting to use as evidence. A limousine and a van pull into the parking lot before 4. Super Brat(va) gets out of the limousine joining four thugs from the van. Boris Antonov, in the limousine, leaves. The remaining Bratva members ring the bell at the shipping door and wait. After 15 minutes they get back in the van and leave. 5PM At the Russian Tea Room Keith Cameron, who has a public identity, entered the Tea Room and demanded an explanation for why Boris missed the meeting. At First Boris, concerned that he might be wired, said that his people were there to see about buying equipment for his restaurants. Eventually, after Boris got a text on his phone, he told Keith that he had a operative with x-ray vision who saw the police in the warehouse. Constable, aka Keith Cameron, returned to the group and decided it was time to just destroy the Bratva in little Odessa. He declared he would make them afraid, and if any of them resurfaced he would beat them down again and again. He would beat them down until they realized it was to costly to do ‘business’ in the area and just left. Bear agreed, and less enthusiastically, so did Lady Paper. 6PM Boris Antonov, reputed gangland figure, was killed in the Russian Tea Room by members of The Brooklyn Brigade. Constable entered the restaurant announcing that everyone who wasn't a member of the Bratva needed to leave. Constable invited everyone else to stay and enjoy the show. Eight of the sixteen patrons left, the remaining stayed. When Boris Antonov tried to exit through the rear door Constable blasted him (15d6) the knockback finished the job. Boris’ broken and bloody corpse was propelled through a wall into the kitchen. After Boris was dead Constable and Bear, with some invisible help from Kismet’s ego attacks, knocked out Super Bratva. Bear put her in a bear hug, then Constable paralyzed her with a poison dart, and then they blasted and crushed her until she passed out. Constable then erased the video tapes of the combat, tampering with evidence. Paladin never entered the restaurant, he directed traffic away from going in from the outside to prevent as much collateral damage as possible. Lady Paper knocked one, maybe two, of Boris Antonov’s muscle unconscious. After the assassination Constable got Bear-s parent to identify two of the goons as ones who extorted money from them. Constable promised that the power of the Bratva was broken got other members of the neighborhood to identify the rest of them as criminals who did the same thing to them. Constable questioned Boris Antonov’s remaining bodyguards and got the name of the next member of the family who would most likely take control now that Boris was dead. Yakim Grigorii Ignatiev. PART took Super Bratva into custody as a minor child with no known family. She is currently a ward of Child Protective Services while next of kin are sought.
