Playing Chicken with IERA

by Adam Bowie aka Switch Blade

We were sent to Seabrook to take out some IERA monitoring stations with some of their gas. Not sure what it does, but Level 37 seemed to be confident that it’s use would stop the problems here in Seabrook.
 
I’m casing the place in my ‘normal’ id, with my suit on, but under my clothing.
 
Walking down the street, the IERA proves that they are just thugs, and bother me. They attack, but thanks to my suit, it doesn’t do much damage. I take them out enough to get away.
Maven and Dominic were in the area. They found one of the entrances, but couldn’t get it open, so, I did my thing and dropped underground. Maven sure is ugly in her normal form, and quite blood thirsty. I’m still not too sure about Dominic but he was helpful.
 
I dropped off the canister in their monitoring station and threatened to fire it off if they don’t stop the darkenings. They finally do, so, I don’t allow it to go off. I wanted to, but I was told to only let it happen if they didn’t follow through with stopping the darkenings.
 
We make our way out and away.
 
Good news, we helped Seabrook, but the IERA wasn’t stopped completely. I’m not sure what those canisters did, but it sure scared them enough to back down.
 
I guess some of the IERA are human after all… But, I could be wrong in that too.
