Rookie Patrol
Wednesday morning, like any other morning, starts with the 9am briefing. Watch Commander Judge Belloch is a grizzled veteran of the streets which took one of his legs many years back.
He quickly assigns the new rookie judges, Swiss and Psi Judge Pike to the seasoned veterans Cully and Krush and continues his briefing...
Weather control claims they've fixed the system so expect a regulation rain shower at 11am.
Fingers crossed this is going to be a quiet day but stay frosty and get out there and lay down the law"
Cully, Krush, Pike and Swiss head to the motor pool and pick up their bikes. One of the Tek Judges tells the rookies
"We've given you 20 minuters a couple of old girls. Nice and reliable but ready for retirement if you know what I mean. Bring yourselves back in one piece and we'll give you some fresh metal tomorrow."
Outside Heavenly Havens
As the Judges cruise North along Duke Street they spot a couple of juves wearing Heavens Angel duds giving an umpty candy machine some percussive maintenance. A Scrawlo-gon bot is busy cleaning some fresh script from a nearby wall whistling a cheery tune.
The patrol pulls their bikes over next to the juves and Swiss orders the shifty looking pair to stop right there. Cully and Krush spot the older Juve with his hand around a bulge in his pocket. Pike dismounts and approaches psychically probing the pair. The older juve's mind is a mess of emotions, he doesn't want to go back to the cubes and he bolts for it. Pike gives chase on foot shouting at him to stop. The younger juve spots an opportunity for escape and runs across the road.
The Judges encounter some Juves up to no good outside Heavenly Havens |
Cully guns her bike along the pedway ahead of the fleeing juve and slides her bike to a stop blocking the pavement. The hapless punk careens into the Law Master and flips over the front wheel but rolls to his feet and continues to run. Krush takes aim and shoots the perp in the back and calmly parks the front wheel of his bike on the perps leg.
"You are going nowhere punk"
Swiss dismounts and tries to rugby tackle the fleeing juve but his leap is short and the punk slips through his fingers.
Cully chases him down on her bike and flips the trigger of her bike cannon.
"Budda, Budda, Budda, Budda" booms the twin cannon and a hail of 20mm shells sparks off the tarmacrete roadway.
A red ToyoFord sedan swerves to avoid the punk and careens onto the pavement narowly missing a fatty pedestrian and Judge Swiss. It crashes into the wall of Heavenly Havens with a sickening crunch.
The Juve breaks down and drops to his knees. Swiss picks him up and cuffs him to a nearby holding post. Cully checks on the driver of the sedan but the seat is empty, the two young juves in school uniforms are bouncing excitedly on the rear seats. "Again, Again" they shout. Judge Cully pulls them out of the smoking wreck and gets their names. Angus and Cliff Dimple were on their way to school and they give the Judge a crumbled emergency contact card. Cully dials the number and an out of breath woman answers
What have they done now? Can't you see I'm busy! I'm in a yoga class for the next 30 minutes and slams down the phone. She has no other option but to call child services and cuff them both to the holding post for their own safety.
Krush rolls his tyre off the perp and Pike flips him over. The GP round made a mess of his chest cavity. "Call in a meat wagon Rookie"
The observant Scrawlo-bot spots the potential biohazard and begins to cordon off the scene in hazard tape.
The fattie stands there absent mindedly munching on a muncebar when Swiss spots the small collection of wrappers at his feet.
"That's six months in the cube for littering fatso!"
Their radio crackles into life. "All units. Roadjackers on hover boards spotted on Meg 355 in the vicinity of Heavenly Havens and Duke Street." The patrol answers the call and they head out.
Surfing Meg 355
As the patrol comes down the onramp they spot the perps. 5 sky surfers with an armed passenger each weaving among the traffic.
Sky Surfing Road Raiders try to hi-jack a CHOO2 Tanker |
They swiftly intercept and manage to prevent them from getting to their target, a CHOO2 tanker. Swiss boards the tanker and manages to see off two of the raiders whilst the others take on small arms fire. The Judges execute their powers of arrest with extreme prejudice in order to prevent an even larger catastrophe occurring.
The raiders are thwarted but there are signifigant civilian casualties and collateral damage to several vehicles and the megway.
The patrol spends the rest of their day cleaning up the mess and informing next of kin before returning to the sector house.
