Station 45

A specific stretch of territory along The Main Line in Processing I, controlled by a local street gang and named for the numbered markings still visible on the original processing bulkheads.

Overview

A specific stretch of territory along The Main Line in Processing I, controlled by a local street gang and named for the numbered markings still visible on the original processing bulkheads. Tucked into an old maintenance area within Station 45’s territory is the entrance to an illegal fighting ring, run by the gang and used to collect debts from bookies operating out of the same turf.

On Session 2, Six and Rock Lavey came down to Station 45 while scouting the last known location of the wanted scammer Harsha Trent. They found the fighting ring’s entrance easily enough, and a cluster of gang members immediately tried to fade into the background when they spotted the two security officers. Six pulled up the station’s camera feed and found it had been deliberately tilted away from the entrance — but not quite enough: the footage still showed Harsha Trent walking in from the direction of the entertainment district, vanishing into the blind spot, and being thrown out into a pile of trash an hour or two later by two gang members identified as Gio and Alphonse.

Six pointed out the loitering gang members to Rock Lavey, and the two approached. Rock Lavey talked, and the men grudgingly admitted Trent had owed money to their bookies and had tried to scam his way out of it — though they claimed he had since “settled up with someone else” and refused to say who. As the conversation stalled, roughly ten more gang members drifted into a loose, menacing perimeter around the pair. Six and Rock Lavey read the room, turned, and walked away at a measured pace.

Later in the session, Holger Graeme reported that Harsha Trent had gone on to lose heavily at Station 45’s bookies, taken out a credit loan, lost again, been roughed up, and was now on a deadline to pay what he owed.
