Eyewitnesses and hacked CCTV footage confirms the death of The Iron Assemblage lead Ramsey Boltgun last night. Reports began to surface of a conflict over in The Hive neighbourhood in the late hours of yesterday evening, a supposed sneak attack by Ramseys Orlock crew’s attempt to take The Hive from The Shockwave sisters.
CCTV footage shows the first glimpse of Assemblage gangers entering the nieghbourhood and getting into formation to attack the patrolling Escher crew.
As the Orlock gang sped across an open courtyard, a nearby Escher Juve raised the alarms, alerting her nearby patrol and sending calls for backup. A hail of plasma fire and bullets rained down on the intruders, who scrambled for cover behind a dilapidated condo.
Once their cover was blown, the Iron Assemblage gangers, led by Ramsey himself, charged towards a condo to put cover between them and their now alert Escher foe’s. As they made the charge, one was downed by long range plasma fire from accross The Hive, calls of “Sniper” were heard from the, now floored Leonel Nessie gunner, as he scrambled for cover.
A nearby Orlock gunner by the name of Chunk pushed forward to assist his fellow ganger, to then be charged by the lighting fast Shockwave Juve, Lexi Jolt, who seemed to be on some sort of drug, as she didn’t appear to be able of staying still. As she charged round the corner, she smothered the two Orlock gangers in flames, but unfortunately for her, their cover and armour gave them both more than adequate protection from her tiny hand flamer. Chunk the Punk then lived up to his name, taking the much smaller Juve out of action with ease.
Round the far side of the condo, the rest of the Orlock gang were beginning to assemble, with a fierce firefight breaking out between Ramseys crew and the defending Escher girls as they slowly pressed forward. A Shockwave little sister threw a photon grenade towards the incoming Ramsey, only for him to bat it away, lucky for him it landed too far to be of any nuisance, but his already downed gang member on the other side of the condo wasn’t so lucky, momentarily blinding him just as he was trying to get back to his feet.
The Ramsey charge continued, with each taking and deflecting small arms fire, while on the far side of the neighbourhood, additional Escher reinforcements arrived in the form of additional long range plasma fire. This fire was concentrated on the already exposed Chunk and downed teammate, forcing Chunk into a momentary retreat, and taking his team mate out of action all together.
Although safe from the long-range Plasma fire by the cover provided by the condos, Ramsey would soon find himself wishing he perhaps had chosen to hold positions further back in his formation, as an Escher little sister charged him with her Stiletto Sword, glistening with poisons. It went in coloured with green liquid but came out blood red. Ramsey got a limp hit in with the butt of his sawn-off shotgun, but quickly collapsed to the ground under his own weight.
An eyewitness who had a view from a nearby window said “I saw him fall to the ground like a sack of bricks. He never stood a chance against whatever poisons that little sister was carrying,”
With the shock of seeing their leader fall to the hands of a Juve ganger stopped the Iron Assemblage in their tracks, with Becka the Wrecker using her jump packs to make a quick escape. The rest of the Orlock crew weren’t far behind, glancing at each other before retreating from The Hive, leaving their downed leader in a pool of his own blood.
What does this mean for the small Assemblage crew, will the once touted Pistol Pete take the role of Road Captain, somebody else, or will the House of Iron see fit to bring in an outsider to lead this embattled gang.
