PL: 1,987 (Weighed Down) | Items: Super Weighted Clothing (75% pl reduction, 75% pl gains) | WC: 433 | TWC: 433 Though he had no intention on returning to East City so soon, there was a bit of an important matter for Derrick to attend to here. A few days ago the boss received a message from one of his gangsters who apparently made contact with none other than the Red Ribbon Army. Derry knew that this day would come when he would have to get a bit more involved with the organization, though dreaded it all the same. At the very least the USD was predictable with the destruction of the Dirty Snakes, and the PTO was certainly interested in employing the services of the Snakes for their cause on Earth. The RRA, on the other hand, was a bit more tricky to pin down as to where their interests would lie with the gang.
According to what the messenger had to say, it seems as if an official from the RRA would like to discuss a potential alliance with the Dirty Snakes and even potentially employ their services. Derrick knows that organizations such as the RRA can always be a bit shady and even dishonest, but perhaps declining such an offer would be a bit more troubling to the RRA. If anybody was capable enough of performing such a task, it would of course be the boss himself. Under the natural cloak of night, the street lights barely illuminating the streets and sidewalk, the leader of the Dirty Snakes walked towards his destination, which was agreed upon to be an abandoned warehouse near the industrial park of East City.
Derrick only traveled with two other gangsters, each equipped with handguns just in case trouble went down over at the warehouse. Of course, if they were to be attacked by androids or anything more powerful than the average human, they would be of little use. Still, it did offer some form of extra protection in the event that something sinister might be abound. Outside of the warehouse, Derrick orders one of the guards to stay out and keep an eye out for anybody to come in, to allow anyone from the RRA to enter and deny all else. With that, the boss enters with the one other gangster, now waiting in anticipation of meeting this potential business partner. He does admit to himself, however, that he isn't even entirely aware if the RRA is already here or if they have yet to arrive. All that mattered at the moment was that he was there himself.

To catch a serpent, everything depends on the bait used. The possibility of being able to communicate with the gang leader who stayed in the Northern City was slim to none. However, there was always a chance for an occasion as long as Arlic shared some kind of similar goal or connection with the persons in question. He had something to offer, something he believed the chief of dirty snakes could not refuse. As a matter of fact, not many individuals within the red ribbon army was agreeing with the decision of meeting with these individuals, it was Arlic's idea to try his hand at building this alliance.
As the leader traveled with his goons, he would soon see a wide granite door blocking the entrance wide. Beyond the granite door lies a narrow, damp room. It is covered with spider webs, broken pottery, and creeping insects. With a little light, Derrick could see that there was somehow a faded garden, old and spoiled by the weather itself. The place was something genuine.
"Fascinating, don't you think? Even when abandoned and left to their own devices, the will to live exists in all forms of life, even plants. This warehouse used to be part of a botanical research facility whose main purpose was not only to make money but to end global hunger. Can you imagine how decades of research could be wiped out with a single attack from outside forces, those that exist outside the earth? These are the impacts that no one ever talks about, too bad."
In addition to this little history lesson, Arlic came closer to introduce himself. He needed to at least lower the tension.
"My name is Arlic Gustafsson and I represent the Red Ribbon Army. I guess you're the boss of dirty snakes? Oh, and don't worry, I came alone and I came without a weapon. It's not that kind of meeting, to begin with, it's supposed to be a happy opportunity to meet someone of your particular skill. Your war with the renegades was something worth keeping an eye on. It showed that the determination of one man can lead to prosperity for himself and the end of others, such power when left unchecked, tend to leave others uneasy and worried. I am not one of those people. I'm not saying I don't respect your strength, but the fact that I can see that this is just the beginning. "

WC: 462 | TWC: 895 It was at that moment during Derrick's investigation of the insides of the warehouse that he notices a few oddities with the place. After snapping his fingers and producing a small pink flame on the tip of his index finger, the boss sees what appears to be a door made completely of white granite. He orders to the other goon still with him, "Wait here," and the gangster obeys, drawing his handgun out and waiting right beside the granite door, ready to spring into action in the event that something goes wrong. The boss slowly pulls the door open, moving the flame inside to see what he could illuminate inside, taking immediate note of the assorted webs and junk strewn about all over the floor. It most certainly hasn't been cleaned up in what seems like decades at this point. It's a miracle the building is still standing at this point.
That's when he's struck with the greatest peculiarity, the boss' eyes making their way over towards a garden. With so little access to proper sunlight, it almost seems like a complete miracle that this even still existed after all of this time, abandoned by humanity for the longest time. Derrick's attention immediately snaps to the corner of the room as a low voice rings out, commenting on the garden's ability to survive in such derelict conditions. On top of that, the stranger who Derry presumes is his contact gives the man a history lesson as to the origins of this building, mentioning that it once was used for botanical research, only to be shut down due to an attack from outside forces. Though Derrick's light illuminated a decent bit of the room, the stranger was still surrounded in shadow. Thankfully, the man was more than willing to step forward and give a proper introduction.
As he anticipated, Derrick was dealing with the representative for the Red Ribbon Army, a man by the name of Arlic Gustafsson. That much wasn't nearly as surprising to the boss, but what did catch his attention was Arlic's awareness of what he had done to the Renegades long ago. Of course, if any organization would even be aware of the connections so long ago, it would likely be the Red Ribbon Army. They have quite a tendency to peer in and grab as much information as they can. "Glad to see that I've got quite the fame already," he comments, "A pleasure to properly meet you, Mister Gustafsson. You have presumed correctly that I lead the Dirty Snakes. Derrick Ottoy is the name, though I presume you've already been told that. I hear that you might be in the need for our services, Mister Gustafsson. What can I do for you this evening?"
