Ed Note: 'Owen' is Dark Horse in disguise.

Owen

This man is about five and a half feet tall. He's actually quite handsome looking, with tousled blond hair, a black leather biker jacket, a black t-shirt, jeans, and a pair of black canvas Chuck Taylor sneakers. (Yes, they still make them...they're eternal) He's a pretty wiry kind of guy, but still looks very athletic.

Docks

The smell of salty air and marsh is the most apparent here at the port of Colonial Bay. To the left, the sturdy automatic cargo cranes stand tall and await the container freight vessels that transport goods into and out of the city. Most of the work is done by the large, efficient machines.

Over to the right, there is the Marina, where various pleasure craft and fishing boats rock gently in their moorings, tied by secure lines. The private vessels range in size from 16 foot cruisers to 32 foot yachts. The marina also rents out various water sport equipment as well as the new modern speed boats and fishing vessels for the day. There is one old-fashioned style riverboat with the paddlewheel propulsion, which provides pleasure cruises and caters to weddings.

From Memorial Day to Labor Day, the sea lovers crowd the marina. During the rest of the year, the docks are peaceful, except for the fishing and cargo vessels.

At the time indicated, Owen finds a group of dock workers lounging around in a pretty isolated area of the docks area. It's situated so that visual and audio clues to trouble would be difficult for any one to detect. Dark Horse will recognize the tattoos of the triad workers to be that of those who work for Pride Tien Leung.

Triad

These triad members looks like ruffian dock workers. They have various tattoos on their body and smell of smoke. They are all asian looking.

Owen comes walking onto the docks, his hands in the pockets of his leather jacket. He looks around quietly as he walks, trying to stay alert.

The triad members spot Owen but don't act like they know him or recognize him. They keep smoking away and glance at him waiting for him to make the first move.

Ed Note: The following is a related legwork which sets up this scene.

Subject: At Hackers Rage

When Al goes to the Hackers Rage he doesn't find anyone looking for him or anything. About half an hour in and some drinks, A tough looking punk comes into the Bar. He seats himself at the Counter and looks around. He orders a few drinks etc. However nothing really distinguishes him from the other patrons of the Rage so you will not think anything of him. For others are coming and going as well. However after some time he acts drunk and goes yelling at You for looking at him weird! He makes insinuations that your character is gay etc and gets into a fight. You can make a PER roll -4 to see what he does during the fight. The guy will lose as people will help you in the fight. THe guy is kicked out and taken away by police. Nothing further happens in the night. If you do not make your PER roll you will eventually find a note in your pocket or note stuck to you. If you make the PER roll you will see him place the note upon your body. The note reads: "Transfer at Docks. 'Date and time' Given. Show your loyalty" That's it.. --

Owen walks over to where the Triad people are...perhaps that's where the 'transfer' will take place.

As Owen walks over the triad members surround him and say things in Cantonese. They seem to be ready for a fight. (Make two PER Rolls)

Owen grimaces...figuring this might be a mock fight...but he also doesn't want to get pounded on. "Oh, come on...I'll trash you clowns." He drops into a fighting stance.

Two things are spotted by Owen. First that one of the triad members who seems more collected than the others is not part of the group that surrounds him. He's just sitting there looking out waiting for someone to come. Secondly, Owen spots some suspicious looking boxes hidden behind some larger dock crates. Could this be part of the deal?

After Owen speaks the triad member that is not part of the group tosses his cigarette down. "You Owen?", asks the guy. His english is good, and without any accent. The others stop and look to see what is going on. Apparently one of them knows what the deal is.

Owen nods, "Aye...that's me, boyo."

The fella nods and says something to the others in Cantonese. They back off and let you be returning to their smoking and waiting. The guy that spoke English walks over to Owen and tells you, "Making an exchange. But nothing's going to get exchanged. You got it?"

Owen turns to look at the one who spoke, relaxing a bit. He takes that in...clearly trying to figure out what that likely means at the bottom line. He then nods, "Yeah, got it."

The man doesn't give his name to Owen and returns to light up another cigarette. As this happens two vehicles, One truck and one sedan rolls slowly and quietly into the area. Owen sees a familiar group of people in those vehicles.

Cangelosi Crime Goons arrive, your typical mafia type guys dressed in cheap suits.

Owen raises an eyebrow, seeing the newcomers show up. He just puts his hands in the back pockets of his pants, and waits quietly.

The vehicles come to a stop. The guys from the truck exit and stand next to the vehicle. Four guys come out of the sedan. One of them, Owen will recognize as Vinny Cangelosi, a member of the family but very low in terms of ranks. One of the men carries a briefcase with him. The four from the Sedan make their way to the Triad members who now assemble behind the one who can speak English. The Cangelosi crime goons stop about 4" away from the Triad line of men. No one speaks yet. An uneasy tension fills the air.

Owen walks over behind the guy who speaks English as well, with the others...but at one end of the line.

Vinny Cangelosi looks at the Triad line with a grin. He spots Owen and chuckles. "So.. Pride's an equal opportunity employer now, eh? Anyways.. I take it you must be Fung or Feng or Fang or something?"

The triad member who can speak English replies coldly, "Feng. You have the money?"

Vinny nods to guy with the briefcase and the man steps fowards and opens the case showing the triad members all the money inside. Feng seems satisfied and nods at his men. They go get the suspicious looking crates, dragging 4 large heavy boxfulls over.

Owen continues watching the mafia goons, assuming they're packing heat.

Vinny smiles as he sees the crates. "Let's see what's inside." Feng nods affirmative to his men and one of them gets a crowbar to pry the crate open. Inside.. Owen can see ACRO Plasma weaponry.

Vinny eyes the pistols in the box with delight. "Do they work?"

Feng grins maliciously as if that was a signal for something sinister. "Of course. Let me show you..." Feng goes to pick up a pistol from the crate...

Owen can't see his face...since he's behind the man. So, he doesn't do anything.

Feng picks up a pistol and expertly turns the pistol on. Then instead of a friendly demonstration.. He shoots at the man with the briefcase!

The Man flies back, his suit smoking from the blast! He lies on the ground motionless

Vinny is shocked and runs back to the car. Looks like trouble!

Feng shouts orders to his men and so does Vinny.

One of the triad members goes for the fallen brief case of money as the others go to grab the plasma pistols!

The Cangelosi goons get their weapons out and fire at the Triad members!

Both shots hit the poor fellow going for the briefcase. He falls to the ground bleeding.

Vinny runs back to the car about 20 meters away.

Owen bolts after Vinny, running past the end of the line of Cangelosi goons, trying to get to the man before he escapes.

Owen continues catching up to Vinny, and attempts to stike him from behind with a quick palm strike.

Owen strikes Vinny in the shoulder, dislocating the shoulder itself as he rattles the mafioso.

Vinny curses and screams. "You broke my shoulder!!"

Owen figures there might be a hail of gunfire in his direction, so he holds for the moment. Then again...the goons might not fire his direction, since they might hit Vinny.

The Triad members have their plasma pistols and now fire upon the Cangelosi goons.

Two of the members fall to the ground smoking from the blast.

There's one goon left standing and then their's Vinny. The guy is outnumbered and outgunned. He goes to the truck to try to get out of here!

Vinny tries to get into the sedan...(opening door)

Owen moves to intercept Vinny, and takes another swing at him.

Owen strikes Vinny across the head, sending him sprawling to the ground.

Feng smiles as Owen takes out Vinny. He orders the the remaining triad members to 'finish' the Cangelosi goons. He himself will take the brief case.

The guy in the truck is frantically trying to start it and get the hell out of there.

Owen tries to wave off the Triad guys..."Hold it...don't kill them! Not yet!" He then slides across the hood of the car, and attempts to strike the guy in the drivers seat of the truck..."THere's a better option!"

The man slumps over in the truck. Feng seems curious to what Owen has to say. Afterall Owen has been incredibly impressive so far, taking out the leader of the group and another goon in some very quick and fluid actions. Feng motions for his men to hold as he waits to hear what Owen has to say.

Owen pokes the guy in the truck to make sure he's out, and then look to Feng. "You'll seem stronger if you DON'T kill these guys. Take a finger or two from Vinny, but leave them alive. That sends a message. And the message is...that it doesn't matter how many goons the Cangelosis' have." (attemping persuasion)

Feng nods at the wisdom of Owen. "Hrm. Very well. But Take Vinny. We want him to come with us." He goes to get the briefcase full of money.

Owen nods, thinking to himself. o O (Well, I avoided MORE bloodshed. That's good. I think.) He heads over, and picks up Vinny, searching him before dragging him over to the others.

The other Triad guys go to see if their comrade is ok. He's not doing so well though and needs medical attention fast!

Vinny carries some cash in a money clip. You find some fake IDs on him.

Owen pockets the IDs, trying to do so without being noticed. Then he drags the guy over.

At this time a medium sized boat makes it way over. Owen can see Asia and some pilot on the boat. Feng smiles and says something to his group. They start hauling the injured man and the crates to the boat. Feng tells Owen. "You did good. Bring Vinny to the boat."

Owen smiles slightly, "Thanks." He takes Vinny over to the boat, putting him on board.

Asia sees Owen and grins at him. "Good work. Now we have a bargaining chip with the Cangelosi family. I was afraid you might have killed him."

Owen shakes his head, "Nope...just a dislocated shoulder, and maybe a broken bone or two. He should be fine in time."

Asia nods to Owen and then goes back to telling the others what to do. It seems like one of the people on the boat know first aid and attends to the man that was shot. The boat leaves the docks and heads off to some private island away from the mainland. Owen does not meet Pride there but is told that Pride is very pleased with his work. Asia informs Owen that another task and Pride might even allow Owen to see him.
