Blood On The Streets - A Zaibatsu/Hostile Mini Campaign On Colony World - Earth - Hostile Situation Report #010 Street Scum

 "010 Street Scum

​Earth 2225. The big city. The corporation has a job for you - you do all of its dirty, secret jobs. Well they've got another one for you. There's a gang called Vendetta on the streets, its hostile and violent, and just the kind of group this megacorporation could use for a new project in the city. 
\

​Getting close to the gang will be hard. Getting out alive will be even harder ..."  I just got this situation report from Paul Elliot the author/designer of Hostile. And this situation report is being put to good use as we speak. 
The Blood Eagle gang has gotten thier hands on the Roddy android on some lone desert highway just outside of New Houston. The Blood Eagles is holding the Roddy unit and things are not going to go good for them. The Texas AM corporation wants to use the Vendetta gang as a disposible strong arm army. 
The September group are brought in by the Texas AM corporation. The AM corporation  job's is to recruit the Vendetta gang by any means. For bribery and other costs, they will have a spending budget of $100,000. Gangs may not be amenable to just being ‘bought off’ however – they have codes of honour that may require a little more coercion… The company provides a lead for you … a chunin (middleman or street fixer) called Thackery, who deals with the corporations, and who is well known to the criminal fraternity here in the city." 
Everything in Houston and New Houston are being set up for a blood bath. The Blood Eagles and The Vendetta are being set up for violence by the Houston AM coroporation but why?! 
 Hostile Situation Report #010 Street Scum is interesting because it places two intercity gangs that are being manupulated by corporate corruption and interests. There's a beat here with the gangs becoming possible tools or echoes of violence within a campaign. There's a definitely Mad Max feel to  the Zozer Games Earth worldbook.
Hostile Situation Report #010 Street Scum plugs right into that flavor. Are my players going to go for this?! They've made some very questionable decisions about this in the past. Can the player's PCs survive the Street Scum?!
