I grabbed a link from this morning's post "Armsmaster Caught a Big

One", Apparently the new guy gave up on all the fancy stuff and just

started shooting capes at people.

His name should be 'Escalation King' [LINK]​

Guys, he flew out of the conference with his team to stop a bank

robbery! How did he know before the PRT? Think he's a precog too?

►ThatGuy

Replied on April 16, 2011:

Nah, he is just competent unlike a certain organisation too obssed

with Looking good instead of actually doing their Job, hell they threw

a fucking conference when they had NOTHING to do with Lung's

capture pretty sure they bullied the new guys into playing along.

Replied on April 16, 2011:

Sigh...This is not the place for your anti PRT ravings Now as for how

Oblivium was aware of the attack before the PRT, well he might

have poeple he knows who spotted the Undersiders and called him

about it Or, as he seems to be a Tinker, has some kind of

surveillance network out there.​

He didn't do anything new this time, apparently just tossed Impact

then a grenade

► NotaName

Replied on April 17, 2011:

He killed a trashcan, got the inside all over Regent. I think his 'new

skill' this time was the one fingered salute.

Edit: Is he flying faster now?

►RagingRoach

Replied on April 17, 2011:

Yes he seems to fly faster, also him put trash on Regent was funny

so was the one fingered salute, oh do you guys think Oblivium is a

fan of Myrrdin ?

►KlnagBoomBraj

Replied on April 17, 2011:

A fan I dunno, but his powers seem to be in the same alley of

Bullshit and they totally look like fucking magic.

►Ereshkighal (Confirmed Cape)

Replied on April 18, 2011:

His powers don't LOOK like magic, they ARE magic He would be

welcome among the Adepts, he seems very strong and most likely

already knows some rituals, he is not as good as Epoch but still.

►JonasWhale

Replied on April 18, 2011:

heh, to you all who say the guy's a Tinker what do you think his

speciality is ? Go on find one that encompasses all he can do, you

can't Ooooh poor guys Well that's because the guy's a fucking

Trump and not a Tinker.

►RabbidFarmer

Replied on April 18, 2011:

Trump

Can manipulate powers in some capacity, altering, granting,

strengthening, weakening or removing them entirely, or has powers

that interact solely with the powers of others.

Does that sound like anything Oblivium does ? No, so Shut The Fuck

Up. As for his speciality the guy might be like Leet and not have one

Per Se but a condition to what he makes, like Leet being able to

make only stuff once.

►FrancisTheHun

Replied on April 18, 2011:

I dunno about that, but if he really is a Tinker Armsmaster must be

flipping his lead because the guy did not join the Wards proper and

as such he has no access to Oblivium's tech. Nor does Dragon for

that matter, she must be a bit peeved too to not be able to integrate

yet another Tinker's work to her tech.

►UsedTobeaPansy

Replied on April 18, 2011:

Oh come on Dragon is not like that, she is a good person and a great

Tinker by her own right. Besides aren't the Backup Budies affiliated

to the PRT ? if so they should get Oblivium's tech.

I've been seeing some fighting between the Undersiders and E88 in Coil's

old stomping grounds. Did Coil get chased off? And if he did, I guess the

Undersiders took over?

(Showing Page 1 of 4)

► Grape Hunter (Cape Wife)

Replied on April 22, 2011:

Coil's base was destroyed, I heard it was the BBuddies that did it.

Most of his guys died in whatever happened, I guess the Undersiders

just filled in for him when Coil went to ground

► Endless Path

Replied on April 22, 2011:

I've been seeing the Wards in some new routes too, a few going

straight into some of the smaller fights and hitting some new bases

E88's been setting up. I'm just glad E88 is leaving my neighborhood

alone for now.

►Sharpie-Head (Verified Not-A-Cape)

Replied on April 22, 2011:

Wait, the Undersiders are 'filling in' for Coil? Do you think that they

were working together before?

►Lady Cicero (Cape Nerd)

Replied on April 22, 2011:

I don't think that she is saying that, just that the Undersiders are

stepping into the gap that Coil's exploding base left. I've seen the

same thing happen up here when the Clique got taken in. The

Alleyfreaks came in and took over the crime around the college

campus, covered up the old tags, stuff like that. Speaking of which,

do the Undersiders even have tags? I've seen E88, ABB, and

Merchant gangsigns over on the Pictures forum, but nothing for

Undersiders, or Coil, come to think of it.

►CosmicSanta7

Replied on April 22, 2011:

If you hear dogs howling, you're in the Undersiders territory.

►C/F/Links

Replied on April 22, 2011:

Wait, so my neighbor here in Houston is actually an Undersider?

His dog keeps me up all night!

►SparkyDolt

Replied on April 22, 2011:

I agree with the Lady, I do not think the Undersiders worked or work

for Coil, the guy is more about military style operatives and discipline

plus he doesn't seem to have any Parahuman on Payroll,so the

Undies don't quite fit. As for the tags well Coil desn't have them, it's

unprofessional, a street trash thing not a professional operator thing

and the Undersiders don't have because they most likely "take"Coil's

old territory because they or one them live in the area and don't

want shit happen on their doorstep, guys are thieves they don't do

anything requiring a territory.

►PokingBehemoth

Replied on April 22, 2011:

Well my dear Sparky they might be looking into expending and

become something more than just thieves. heh perhaps losing to the

backup Buddies made them want to branch out into another style of

Vilainy, what I find really surprising about them right now is that

they did not spring Grue out.

►AuroraFois

Replied on April 22, 2011:

Yeah well it might not be that easy, you know the PRT has lots of

people and there's also a thing called the Protectorate working for

them. Besides Grue is better off where he is because Kaiser is going

to gut the Undersiders and have them impaled on the top of Captain

Hill. Those guys have no chance against the Empire.

There hasn't been much activity from any gangs recently, After the

BBuddies took out ABB's heavy hitter, then Coil and almost got some of

E88's guys I think everyone's staying quiet. Something big is going to be

coming.

Replied on April 23, 2011:

No way, this is basically just a 'scare post'. Sure the gangs have

been hit pretty hard, but they're still going out and trying to grab up

territory instead of fighting each other as much. It'll all even out

soon, no need to grab your survival kit and tinfoil hats.

► Erratic Bean

Replied on April 23, 2011:

Tamale, that's what Spork means, everything's calm and there's lots

of territory just up for grabs. What's keeping some new groups from

coming in? This is going to explode soon. Everyone get ready.

► Grape Hunter (Cape Wife)

Replied on April 23, 2011:

The Protectorate and the PRT are keeping an eye out, there's been

no word that we are getting an influx of gangs and capes to worry

about, and even if we do, that's what the heroes are for. We have

the Wards out checking around the town every night, and the

Protectorate heroes come by for anything the Wards might not be

able to handle. On top of that the BBuddies are out there.

►Havendasher

Replied on April 23, 2011:

Why are they still called the Backup Buddies? I've only been reading

about them here, but it sound like they have been doing more for the

city than anyone else.

►CosmicSanta7

Replied on April 23, 2011:

It's their name. If they want to change it, they can, but it's up to

them.

►Clockblocker (Verified Cape) (Wards ENE)

Replied on April 23, 2011:

Hey, I know the BBuddies are a hot topic, but they aren't the only

heroes in town. They may have made a bigsplash when they first

showed up, but we are still heading out to do our part as well.

►ViolteClaymore

Replied on April 23, 2011:

HEy, Clocks! Is it true that SS is leaving the wards? I heard she's a

Backup BUddie and she's might be doing that all the time.

Shadow Stalker is hanging out with them, yeah, but she's still a

Replied on April 23, 2011:

HEY Clockblocker you do realise that your statement that you are

allegedly doing something too is very susicous and a tad too

defensive ?As for the Backup Buddies of course they are the only

ones doing something that truly matters, same as the Brockton Bay

Brigade before they lost their way and became New Wave. THEY

were the one who took down Marquis who ridiculed the whole

Protectorrate team more than ones by himself. THEY were the ones

keeping the Teeth and Allfather's Empire in check while the

PRT/Protectorate and the Cops cowered in their quarters. Today the

Backup Buddies are the same: THEY took down Lung and the ABB at

large while the local Protecorate couldn't do shit. THEY were the one

who neutered Coil and on the top of it THEY almost got a group of

E88 capes if not for Bakuda and Miss FUCKING Militia letting those

Nazi degenerates go the Empire would be short three capes,

Hookwolf among them and DO NOT tell me it didn't happen I SAW it

with my own eyes as I live in the area where it happened. As for

Shadow Stalker I understand she had enough of the wards and

wants to be in a team that actually does stuff.

►BucchananBiker

Naw man, she is with the Backup Buddies to stay close to her

Boyfriend Oblivium.

►RogerBark

Replied on April 23, 2011:

I think the Empire is not making much waves right now because they

are planning something big: given their numbers they can take all

the curret factions present in the Bay without any problem, but to do

so they need to plan their strike properly, and Kaiser, despite being a

nazi is rather smart an cunning I am pretty sure he is planning a

strike to take over erything at once.

►FagginDorfer

Replied on April 23, 2011:

I'll just say this, are we sure there aren't any new gangs in town

already who keep a low profile to have time to build up their

strength ?

►GoJoBoBo

Replied on April 23, 2011:

Heh, if the fairy forest comes to the Bay, then the city will have two

of them. Wonder how it would get along with Oblivium's fairry whose

name I just forgot.

►TylerDurden58

Replied on April 23, 2011:

Shard, that's Oblivium's fairy's name. Now you know what I am

really afraid of ? is that the Vacuum in the city is noticed by the

Butcher and that the Teeth come back here, I lived though the time

they were a power in the city and those guys are very very

dangerous and utterly batshit, but this time there is no Marquis

around to teach them manners so yeah...

Word of Fairy Forest, the Teeth and now this? Who the hell are these

guys?

► NotaName

Replied on April 21, 2011:

Some guys up north, haven't heard much on them though.

Supposedly they managed to take out some new hero and think that

makes them tough. As much as I hate to say it, all the other gangs

trying to push their way in might protect us from trash like this.

Here's a [LINK] to the speculation page on them. Their big thing

seems to be ritualistic murder. Looks like nine possible victims so

far but no one's even sure how many capes they have.

►Navi The Crone (Girl In The Know)

Replied on April 21, 2011:

Ugh, if you are going to talk about people, use their proper names.

Barrow is the central figure of Lost Garden, not 'Fairy Forest', that is

just a nickname. As for Frozen Lotus, is it possible that they are a

revival of Goetia's split of the Adepts? For those who don't know,

Goetia was a cape in the late 90's who tried to introduce ritual human

murder to the methodology of the Adepts. Epoch kicked him out, and

he started his own briefly led version over in Detroit, before the

group suddenly vanished. This set-up sounds like it is similar.

►longislandsea

Replied on April 21, 2011:

Navi, what's wrong with using a nickname? You know what we

meant they know who we meant, everyone knows what you mean

when you are talking about the Fairy Forest.

►ForgeGuy

Replied on April 21, 2011:

These guys worry me quite a bit...they seem very dangerous from

what I heard most of their victims were more than capable of

defending themselves. One of them even was a mercenary who

survived Moord Nag's takeover of Namibia and when you know how

bloody that was well that's nothing to sneer at. As for the story about

the mannequins being animated I do not see why it was discarded;

Parahuman powers are weird so the fact that the mannequins were

undamaged and found at the exact same place means nothing.

►Potemkin

Replied on April 21, 2011:

Yeah because a power would clean everything it does, tss... Now

Navi I thought that Goetia and his group got killed by An Elite Murder

Squad in detroit because one of the people Goetia used for one of his

ritual was working for them. But then it just be a rumour, thing is if it

is Goetia how come he only comes back now ?

►FoggyBastard

You know that speedster that got killed well he was a real badass,

saw him fight once that guy was not only fast and could do things

with fire, but the guy was also a beast in H2H. I saw him fight some

group with a mover and a brute and he utterly destroyed them.

►LorasTheNerd

Replied on April 22, 2011:

Yeah well if those guys come to the Bay I do not see them getting

past the Empire, because I do not see them putting up with that kind

of shit and given their numbers and the strength of their capes I do

not see what these fuckers could do. And if the villains don't take

care of it well there is the protectorate as well as New Wave and the

Back up Buddies.

►Navi The Crone (Girl In The Know)

Replied on April 22, 2011:

@ForgeGuy: Do you have a link to the info about the mercenary, I

hadn't heard that part?

@Potemkin: I'm pretty sure that is just a rumor, AFAIK, the Elite

have never had much of a presence in Detroit. And I don't know why

he wouldn't have come back until now, unless the rumors about

Epoch having a much greater time travel ability than he has displayed

are true, and he shot Goetia forward in time.

So, I just saw a news bulletin about the death of a security guy at a

mall. Link here. The victim is only twenty-three, and the cause of

death was blunt-force trauma rather than a knife wound, but there

are some chain-like marks that could be burns that you can see in

the second picture. Do you guys think this could be related? It would

be in the path for these guys to be heading to Brockton Bay.
