While the DEMC havenтАЩt gone native, theyтАЩre finding that their particular brand of varied vector violence is appreciated in the Bast Station populace.
Deck by deck, meter by meter, they are leading the efforts at reclamation.
Remarkably, theyтАЩve found the rough-and-ready inhabitants of the station rallying around them.
ThatтАЩs before other mercenaries come to Coil Cove, drawn by the DEMCтАЩs success.
The more the merrier, right? Except these newcomers threaten to throw the hard-won balance into chaos.
After all, killer robots, flesh-hungry mutants, and armed civilians with impulse-control issues are not the most stable collection of participants in this little drama.
WhatтАЩs an intrepid mercenary company to do?
Well, theyтАЩll get back to you on that one. Right now, theyтАЩve got to blow something up, somewhere, and someone is probably going to have a problem with it.
