5I goes missing. He was last seen heading towards the Tolkeen mall with Hiro.
News broadcasts are heard about scores of children gone missing in the west region of Tolkeen.
"And in the latest horror an entire school bus was abducted. The Coalition is suspected to have targeted the children while on a field trip near the border of Tolkeen.".
"This is from anonc of the hackers consortium of Tolkeen. we picked up this data and thought you might be interested in a message from 5I left encoded in various vending machines near cootchies cavern a trideo arcade. he musta dropped it into the machines via virus while running, knowing we'd see it later later. 5I is a friend of our community and we would offer 300k or 3 hacks for his safe return. We also heard a rumor the dwarves have a space ship. We would offer 10 million for the ship even if it is damaged in order to research its technology"
The message from 5I:
"General Spartacus,
I don't have much time they are hunting me. Hiro bought me some time but they got him.. You gotta stop em before they get any more kids. Oh no *sounds of running* they are almost onto me. The short men and the cloak men are taking kids outta Tolkeen and porting them somewhere, I dont know. I was trying to track them down but they tracked me instead. They kept talking about how kids were easier to handle and how they wish the corndbees they used to slaughter were more plentiful because now hunting kids was tougher. How they needed the "special" kids, I think they pick out certain ones above the others... they grabbed me when I was in an arcade out of a group of kids, I saw em pick off two other kids from the crowd then I escaped. But they tracked me and now I think I can't get away, my suits out front I cant get to it.. arrg forgive me general *sounds of gun fire and dwarvish*
Then in dwarvish 2 voices talking back and forth in a strangely twisted dwarvish tongue
*Is this young one dead*?
*no, this one is not dead Most exhaulted one Bes needs him alive. Exhaulted says his patron wants this puny one to punish his leader, an escaped slave*
*will this human satiate his exhaultedness this time or will he eat one of us again*
*let us pray this human child will satiate him this eve, him and the others should make a fine delivery*
*yes I hope his exhaultedness summons nxla already and lets us leave this foul land, it is far too bright*
*yes I agree this land should be thrown into darkness, it is far too bright. when the surface dwellers are all in chains and brought beneath to our caverns then it will be much better.*
*come let us return home and leave him with the others, a few more like him and we take the lot to Gatho Sin Sin Ati*
*sounds of someone struggling and being dragged*
Players get this messages after they met a hacker city rat named ALFONSE. The little city rat knew 5I and missed him, so he gave the group the message from 5I along with a 300k county on 5I and a 10mil bounty on recovering the UFO.
Drago bribes a kid near the arcade and learns some dwarves are supposedly "using a spaceship to abduct kids in tolkeen". Dwarves are known to hang out at a club on the west side of town in some bombed out industrial ruines called "Bar None"...
Finding the bar's location the characters go there, Drago, Caldor, Bluey, and the Cyberknight Lady all advance on the club.

Bar None
At the bar there is a Duergar bouncer and a cloaked man checking people at the door, about 10 people are in line when the players show up but only a few in line when the get to the door. Caldor starts ignoring those in line and bribes 1000 for him, bluey and the cyberknight lady to gain entrance to the club ahead of others who were only paying 100. He lets them in.
Drago stays out side in dragon form and eyes up the place... He sends a message and Spartacus finally responds, rallying 2 of his squads Ted Squad and Randy Squad, two of flying titans and about 8 chipwell assault powerarmors.
Meanwhile the 3 other characters drink whisky at caldors insistence, noticing a strange dark hooded figure with 3 guards near the back of the room in the VIP section... Many other young people dot the bar and the walls of the club wall flowers while in back the dance floor has another 30 people on it and 1 dj dwarf with 3 guards..
When Sparticus arrives with his men he calls out the dwarf at the door, hitting him with missles. Other dwarf security emerges from the bar and Sparticus orders his troops to launch. Multiple short range missle strike turn the front half of the club and most the dwarves into vapor. Drago magic nets the survivors and one dwarf turns on his jetpack and lifts the net off the others before escaping around a corner..
The other duergar fight to the death, one drills through one of Sparticus's chipwall assault suits (r3) killing Lida Kent
when a nother duegar threw a poison gass grenade into the group.
As the front of the club colapses a huge dustcloud settles over the area, blinding everyone for a moment while they dodge flaming debris flung from the colapsing building...
2 other nearby buildings to left and right of club start on fire... 3 duergar and 1 cloaked man along with 3 people waiting in line outfront and another 15 people inside the club have perished in the blast and building colapse.
After the dust clears out enough to see and the rubble stops shifting dangerously 5 cop mages with 20 deputies teleport in 60seconds after initial impact...lights blaring... "put your hands up and explain yourselfs, Army of Thunder Mercenaries of Tolkeen, who is your leader? You are supposed to be guarding the southern zone outskirts not here in the west zone attacking innocent civilians what the hell is wrong with you?"
