All Your Hab are Belong to Us

+The story so far...+

Deep in the Underhive of Hive Primus, hivequakes are a common occurrence. Six months ago, one such quake unearthed a previously lost section of Hive. New settlers flocked into the area and established the city of Sludgeport, positioned on the edge of a vast Sludge Sea. Trading posts and basic infrastructure have all been re-established, and life is normal for the Underhive.

Unbeknownst to the settlers, this area was used by a hidden Helot Cult for their dark rituals. The quake also cracked the outer wall, giving the Ash Waste Nomads an area to enter and conduct their raids.

Due to a loss of productivity and inability for this area to meet Imperial quotas, the Enforcers have been dispatched. The E-Force have called the local gangs of Escher and Cawdor, along with a hired band of Venators, to meet in an abandoned storage facility and discuss the next steps to secure production.

There is no trust between any of the groups, and heated talks continue to escalate. No one suspects that the Helots and Nomads have secretly infiltrated the meeting.

Who tipped them off?

Whose side, if any, are they on?

Why is that Enforcer smiling?

Why do the Cawdor have hands on weapons?

Why aren't the Escher trying to sell me drugs?

Why do those Ratlings look like actual Ratmen?

And then the shots rang out!
