S102_Lets_Fixit Recap: Tuesday January 9, 2019 Paladin contacts Lt. House (commander of PART) to offer help. He is told that they have it handled and the Brooklyn Brigade can stand down. Paladin knows this is not going to end well. He is certain that this will be a PR nightmare and that Endicott will do his best to point the blame at the Brigade. He decides to do some preemptive damage control. Paladin calls the Governor’s office and offers the team’s help. The bureaucrat tells Paladin that law enforcement has it handled and there is no need for the team to get involved. Before letting the call end Paladin tells the bureaucrat that he recorded the call and if the Governor changes his mind they will be waiting for the call. Within 15 minutes the Governor’s office calls Lt. House. Revenant, who is still watching the preparations for the raids, overhears the call. The Governor directs Lt. House to reach out to Paladin and use the Brooklyn Brigade for support on the raid of Mr. Joe Fixit’s brownstone. During the call with Paladin House tells him the raids will happen at 3AM on Wednesday. Tuesday January 9, 2019 Impact invites people to go and hang out. Revenant has plans with Amy. The very pregnant Cherry will pass. Preston, Babs, Rocko, and Network go out to have some drinks and heads off to a boxing event. Babs and Network talk about cars. Her lack of functional knowledge about anything else also becomes obvious. Rocko is an expert on boxing trivia (and wrestling trivia, hocky trivia, etc.) Network and Impact talk about their origins They talk about the moon attack and the threats from space. Wednesday January 10, 2019 1AM The group convenes at the Citadel. It is Amy who is wearing the handcuff tonight so she can not stop Revenant from showing up on time. 2AM The group meets Lt. House. There is a large police presence. Thirty standard NYPD officers (for crowd control to keep the civilians safe and out of the way), 15 PART officers, 15 SAT officers, 5 SAT Mechas, and 5 PART Turtle Armor Agents. Plus the heroes of the Brooklyn Brigade. 2:55 AM Paladin suggests to House that Revenant check out the house for the location of the target. He quickly locates Mr. Fixit and two women asleep in the master bedroom. They are all unclothed and in the same bed. There is one other man on the far side of the home, also asleep. 3AM The raid is to begin. Paladin sends Impact in first to get the two women out of harms way. As they are grabbed they wake up and reach for where their guns would be had they not been whisked away. They feebly beat on Impact to be let go. He hands them over to SAT agents who wrap them up on blankets. Paladin rushes in and attacks Mr. Fixit while he is still waking up. The assault is impressive, but Fixit is not stunned or rendered unconscious. He glares at Paladin and say, ‘Boy, you just bought the whole can of whoop-ass.’ He then transforms into the green hulk gaining size, strength, and durability. The battle rages for a while with the heroes nickeling and diming the Jade Giant down. The weapons used PART and SAT armored agents are basically useless until they use the old Hulkbuster tactic of multiple gas attacks. In the Hulk’s enraged state he fails to hold his breath. The combination of the Brooklyn Brigade’s assault and the flooding the area with anesthetine gas causes the Jade Giant to eventually collapse. He transformed back into his Joe Fixit persona. PART takes him into custody along with Marcy Hooper, Janelle Greene, and Ratna Krastev (aka Buzzsaw). As the police raid winds down Network analyzes a suit of PART Turtle armor and gives the blueprints to Network.
