Shanghai Firefights

October 2021, N54, Lyle McClellan

In the Bank Block, a few tuned out cars are parked in front of the city's greatest BBQ (real or not, for a price): the Sunset Bar & Grill's near-permanent imperial guard, comprised of tattooed honchos hailing directly from Hong Kong or American born'n'raised, all part of the Sun On Yee Triads. They're still licking their wounds after a battle just a few hours ago...

...in the Med Center, motorcycles rev up as the Tyger Clawz are employing street tactics to get what they want. Despite usually wearing suits and conducting entrepreneurial meetings with likeminded individuals, tonight they're assassins, killers and maimers. They're hunting for territory.

They've already had success in the Nightlife District and are now encroaching on the City Center. The Arasaka shipments and freight that keeps falling into their hands is definitely helping.

City Center is ablaze as the streetlights cut off. The only lumens here come from the muzzles of Smart Guns tonight.
