February 2024 recap
Previously In Jericho Junction:
Several M12 bounties showed themselves around Jericho.
Dr. Ansel Rudigger, psionic psientist and zealous member of the Organus Sempris sect of the Church Of Darwin, had created a pocket of psionic illusion which townsfolk broke through to apprehend him. They witnessed his hand in key moments of Old Eden's past and subdued him in the end, handing him over to M12 agents along with a psi-tech device he was using.
Prospero, devout Summer, had hooked up a massive bomb to the decaying Old World reactor at the heart of the Lakeshore Darwins' home. Amidst the intense radiation, a team of people fought with the Flamebelcher wielding Seasons while another disarmed the bomb before the reactor blew. Prospero was killed by local Seasons and his bounty was not collected.
The most dangerous of the three bounties, Caliban, emerged late Saturday night, speaking no words and surrounded by the sound of beating drums. He and his tribe descended on Jericho in a feeding frenzy like haze in an attempt to cull the weak and bring his brutal version of Autumn to the town. Whatever faith they held, the sound of the drums kept their hearts beating and prevented the tribe from dying for a time before the townsfolk finally killed the drummers. When Caliban had be subdued, an attempt was made by local Seasons to speak with him, but he bled out before anything could be exchanged.
Rumblings in the underworld of Jericho Junction spoke of a new figure appearing in place of the usual criminal concierge and this one seemed to have interesting information to share about the town's current #1 Shitlister, Grand Father Rosenberg. More rumors circulated that the old man is sick and may not have much time left.
The Canary Keepers came to town and discussed the nature of the Blight with some people to help them understand how the Blight is affecting the town and suggested a line of thinking as to how they could reverse its effects.
Elsewise, the Ironhearts have settled in working with Second Division well enough, though it seems like not all of them have taken to enlisting with the militaristic group.
