What would be your story of DB

(SockDog) #21

It sure is a puzzle.

City evacuated, presumably uninhabitable but mercenaries able to roam around freely with out any health impacts. Why wouldn’t people return?

From this I’d assume that while there is localised radiation that can be avoided (tube stations) there is a bigger risk. It may be that London was seeded with hundreds of Dirty Bombs in unknown locations. After several are detonated over a period of months the Government decide to evacuate the entire city. This would explain the initial panicked exodus (Waterloo) and then a more staged, compulsory evacuation.

Even if the city was irradiated/risky why is there no military presence to protect assets, locate bombs, clean up etc. Even in the most dangerous areas autonomous robots exist and could patrol the streets, likewise with drones. Helicopters would be on permanent patrols. Rapid response units would likely chopper in to deal with any incursions and breaches of the containment zone.

My only thought here is that there simply isn’t a government, as such, left, nor a military. Whatever conflict inspired the bombing in London may have been the result of a larger conflict over the country culminating in the bombing and collapse of the government forces. As plentiful as London is, right now, for those outside the containment zone, it is not a priority to either protect or exploit.

[/QUOTE]

How do we know there are no health impacts? These mercs maybe getting treatment from their clients that reduce the health impacts in order to accomplish their goals or are being lied to by those clients who assure them it’s safe. I don’t see the problem here with the lack of civilians.

Again how do we know there isn’t? There are signs everywhere of a clean up operation, the missions could just be taking place at opportune moments, hence the time limits before the next patrol comes through. There are already signs of external activity in the maps, on WC we see a train passing by which seems to be related to the clean up operation judging by the same logos found on its carriages that is found on the static clean up props.

If it made any sense you would have a sky news crew following each team and asking stoopid questions.
they follow you around and get hit and go down until all are dead.
footage can later be used with some default commentary to highlight the game after the match.

Jim bigone reporting from INSIDE the cordoned off area.
jim - “Im here with one of the rebels fighting to get the cores.”
jim - “Scrupus can you tell me why you need the cores?”
scrupus - “I have no ***in idea”… “get that ***in camera out of my face”
jim - “as you can see tensions are high here on the streets of London tonight, back to you in studio ally”

From my story resume at post # 9 ^^
these questions are answered like this

Who are the Mercs ?

-one side is Hired by gov to identify capture Authors of the DB attacks
-the other side are cells working/supporting by the terrorists

Are they hired by Military authority or gang/mafia/terrorist related?

-Gov side Yes ,They are doing the Dirty job (**military support them with logistics and weaponary but stay mostly outside for now)
-Terr. side from terrorists/terr supporters

Why they Fighting?
Whats their goals?

-Gov side to identify capture if possible responsable of the DB attacks and Gathering infos of remaining cells in London
-Terr side to thwart gov mercs missions (by engaging close combat with them ,doing some attacks on multiple
targets in London and misleading them to false routes)

Where they get their weapons?

-Gov mercs are support by military (**military support them with logistics and weaponary)
T-err side steal from Gov side weapons depots and supplied by terr leaders

If they are there now without protection, its must be safe now …why civils cant return to london ?

-Decontamination is started some areas are safe …Civils wont regain city until Terrosits cells are stop and full decontamination is done

Note** Thats why you wil see a military helico in WC
AA missiles in Camden
EV in maps
airstrikes and artillery

Just for giggles. :slight_smile:

I see this as a stretch.

Mercs would have to be very gullible to blunder into an evacuated city based on a lie that contradicts publicly available information. It is possible that a limited supply of medicine is available, prompting a mass evacuation but allowing people to still operate in the area. Yet that just asks the question as to why they’re not even using simple respirators and other protective equipment to minimise exposure.

On the civilians. I think there would need to be a very big reason for them not to return. There are many incentives to break a containment and it seems there is none or little security to stop people. Why wouldn’t you (or force someone else) go in and do exactly what the mercs are doing? I’d imagine the City would be packed with scavengers, looters and anyone else looking to profit from it being unguarded.

Again how do we know there isn’t? There are signs everywhere of a clean up operation, the missions could just be taking place at opportune moments, hence the time limits before the next patrol comes through. There are already signs of external activity in the maps, on WC we see a train passing by which seems to be related to the clean up operation judging by the same logos found on its carriages that is found on the static clean up props.

Everyone is down the Snackwagon on their lunch break? :slight_smile:

That’s a fair point although I would expect gun fire, explosion, artillery and drone strikes to alert someone to the Mercs presence. What about the massive CCTV network in London. It just seems implausible that the security and cleanup efforts (if they are not abandoned) is so lacks that there isn’t more going on outside of the walls of London.

Regardless I’m looking forward to Ed appearing with the backstory. I know it’s not critical to the MP working but it’ll be nice to have answers to these questions. :slight_smile:

(.Chris.) #26

It be good for an nice explanation yeah but whilst we have two identical teams that look exactly like each other fighting for unknown clients I can’t see there being a great backstory and any made will most likely be as flimsy as what I’ve been posting, everything reeks of generic and that feeling is shared every time a video is posted publicly or an announcement is made. There isn’t even a name for the separate teams unless you count “attackers” and “defenders” as names.

This can be change easily to fit with a defenitive story

Slightly off-topic, but it has happened before. Just read this article about the “Radium Girls”, from the time where radium was “the cure for everything”: http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/03/how-we-realized-putting-radium-in-everything-was-not-the-answer/273780/

So who knows what’s next. “Dirty bomb tooth paste, makes your smile shine like neon lights - forever!”

(SockDog) #29

True. As I was writing the earlier reply I thought how good it would be if there was these Mercs and on the other side some organised crime group.

Thanks Woko …I knew wasnt about truck :smiley: but never could find on google the definition of it

wiki:“Since a dirty bomb is unlikely to cause many deaths by radiation exposure, many do not consider this to be a weapon of mass destruction.Its purpose would presumably be to create psychological, not physical, harm through ignorance, mass panic, and terror. For this reason dirty bombs are sometimes called “weapons of mass disruption”. Additionally, containment and decontamination of thousands of victims, as well as decontamination of the affected area might require considerable time and expense, rendering areas partly unusable and causing economic damage.”

Personally i will rather go with :Civil Defense Agency or Central Defense Agency rather than Containment Decontamination Agency :smiley:

(Brika.L0W-G33K) #33

Here is my story:

North Korea threatens the world to throw its nuclear bomb and to cause the 3rd world war. England evacuate civilization of city and in reply to threat, Europe and more particularly England decides to answer firmly.
A part of British Armed Forces disagree and prefers rise itself up. This coup d’etat aim at protect the world of the nuclear world war. Rebel Army versus British Armed Forces.
Obj: prevent England from launching the first dirty bomb and preserve people of nuclear world war.

(warbie) #34

Seemingly overnight an unexplicable tension develops between mercenary twins all over the world. They centre on London to fight it out with their doppelgangers, while doing objectives and other stuff.

(rookie1) #35

If DB extend to other cities/countries ref this thread

fighting for unknown clients

Mercs could be an international freelancers agency that are hired by military of dfferent countries to do the first cleanup in cities that are viticms of DBs

and military stuff they have could been furnished by local military…wich will differ a bit from countries to countries
edit: and if DB live long and prosper :slight_smile: …might have futur type of missions not related to dirtybombs as these mercs can do any types of hardcore stuff :slight_smile:

(Ashog) #36

Even tho Ed Stern never looks in here, I think we should just sit and wait till he comes up with the story. I am sure he will.

Good Luck.

(Mustang) #38

Didn’t read all the responses in here, but I hope it will be government employed security team employed to defend against mercs/pirates that are trying to steal secrets/intel/monies etc.

It’s pretty much a slight twist on what has already been mentioned, but makes much more sense that two rival merc factions just having a turf war in an abandoned city.
