[20:44] <@BradGM> +++With Earl’s precarious state, Mockingbird decides against using him as bait and decided to move toward Downpour to confront The cold trader Bastien.
[20:44] <@BradGM> After reporting to an ever demanding Inquisitor Jex, Jon returns to the Arbites Fortress to get reports on the settlement while Grendel gets two surveillance teams on both Captain Somers and Major Quinlan, a derelict looking van for transport and a combat servitor armed with twin-linked heavy stubbers. Mira secures disguises while Lyra, not needing what gear she already has, readies herself.
[20:44] <@BradGM> The trip in the underhive hit a bump as the acolytes drove right into a gang ambush, but the massive firepower and armoured van was no match for the lightly armed hivers. Despite thie temporary distraction, the cell just reached the outskirts of Downpour.+++

[20:50] <@BradGM> You detect that the air and even the tick mud ground of Downpour is rather acidic; no doubt that the hivers don't live past 40 except those with air filtration units, rebreathers, alot of filtration plugs or gasmasks; and even then, the mud is so toxic that it msut be infiltrating everywhere.

[20:54] * @Grendel tunes the scanner to look for particularly acidic puddles.
[20:55] <@BradGM> The settlement is a ramshackle of metal buildings build inside a web of piping of every shape and sizes; everyhting is covered in a thick, greensih mud, the air fileld with a horrid corrosive smell to it. The whole place is desolate, polluted and poisonous. Everything is burned by chemical spills from the manufactorium perhaps a kilometers or two overhead.
[20:56] <@BradGM> The van appears to have a respectable filtration unti; so the smell is not as bad as outside for now. The Hivers alla ppears to be the downrotten kind, dressed in tick, dirty ponchos, they work to collect what seems to be minerals from the chemical dumping
