Hellhound

Extravagant, luxurious facilities and high quality drinks, Hellhound is the nightclub that everyone wants to visit when they find themselves in Golden Falls. But not everybody is lucky enough to get in.

Queues to get into the nightclub are always rammed, but one can always pay for VIP access and treatment to bypass those. If they can afford it, of course.

Heart of the Underbelly

Hellhound resides within the Soul Cross district of Golden Falls. Built in the dead centre of the district, it is no wonder that Lillian Horner and her Harrowing Hearts use it as their main base of operations. Its central location, excellent partying reputation, and the fact that the nightclub is owned by Lillian Horner, has cemented Hellhound as the heart of the underbelly - no matter how much Lillian’s rivals have tried to upset the status quo.

Design

Exterior

The building itself is three stories high. Where the main entryway sits, it is set back partially, allowing the second floor to overhang and create a small cover. This was actually designed with the bouncers in mind so that they can be sheltered from any forms of extreme weather - from high speed winds, full blown storms, and even the harsh rays of sunlight.

From an overhead view, you can clearly see that the building is L shaped. The longest side stretches alongside the main road, whilst the little offshoot sits behind the main portion of the building. Looking at Hellhound straight on, you can see that the walls for the first and second floors are slanted, whilst the wall for the ground floor is completely vertical.

The walls are painted a very light grey and are accented by a handful of thin dark purple and green stripes that run horizontally across the wall. These stripes look like connectors - every three or so metres the stripe meets a small circle (with an outline of the same colour, whilst the centre is not filled).

Interior

Inside, the walls are a very dark purple. The lighting is a mix and match of neon pinks and greens.

The ground floor is made up of a bar (the largest within the building) that runs along the back wall, an open dance floor which is situated front and centre, a main stage situated to the left of the bar, and an open lounge area that is slightly raised above the dance floor.

Up the first flight of stairs is the first floor. It has a balcony that overlooks the stage and the half of the dance floor adjacent to the stage. Around the balcony are some more booths which offer a little bit more privacy than those downstairs. There is also a second bar located next to the right wall. This floor also has a dance floor, albeit smaller, towards the back.

Up the next flight of stairs is the second floor. This floor is filled with private rooms for hire which offer privacy for any number of activities, including those of a more illegal persuasion. The speaker system on this floor is separate from the main speaker system for the first and second floors so that it plays different music (more befitting of the mood).

There is also a basement, but that is off limits to anyone who is not a VIP, a member of staff, or a member of the Harrowing Hearts. It consists of a lounge area, a few private rooms, a meeting room, and an office space. Lillian and her Harrowing Hearts conduct most of their in-house business here.

“Shit, look at that queue! I thought you said getting in would be easy?”

“Oh it will be, don’t worry. Flash enough credits and they’ll kick people out to make space for you.”

“Something tells me you’ve done this before…”

“Well, what can I say? I love a good party and Hellhound hosts the best. Besides, mother dearest has enough money to out-bribe all of Hellhound’s VIPS”

Operation HH Proposal

Lillian Horner is already known to us as a dangerous individual. Are we truly to believe that she merely set up a nightclub on a whim? No, we should not, and to be completely honest neither should Terra Novus - though I have my suspicions as to why they are turning a blind eye (see Appendix HH.B.3 and Appendix HH.B.4).

She and the Harrowing Hearts have ties to the Ravagers. We have evidence of this (Appendix HH.A.2) and should use it as reason to act. This ‘Hellhound’ is a front for her and the rest of her ilk to conduct numerous businesses outside of galactically agreed laws and regulations, as well as acting as a hideout for Ravagers who are wanted for questioning. We must stamp this flame out now before it spirals into an uncontrolled inferno.

Operation HH-01

Agent successfully inside. Working as UNDISCLOSED. As discussed prior to deployment, next point of contact will be in two months time.

Operation HH-02

Agent found dead, stuffed inside a crate in the Golden Falls docking area. TN authorities have allowed us to assist in the investigation. Currently no leads tying the death to Hellhound or LH.

Operation HH-03

More precautions have been taken and a second agent has now been placed within Hellhound. Working as UNDISCLOSED. Agent is a Terran liaison, hoping that those inside will be more amicable and less suspicious of their hiring. Next point of contact will be in 1 months time.

Operation HH-04

Agent reported that they had seen no Ravagers enter the premises. They also reported a crate of Solar Storm being brought onto the premises, but have since been unable to locate it. Possible the crate was moved quickly.

Operation HH-05

Agent reported a downstairs area off limits to all but staff and Harrowing Hearts. As they are still under probationary hours, they have not been allowed to enter this area yet. I advised that contact be discontinued until after the Agent’s 6 month probationary period was up - Agent to lie low until contact re-established.

Operation HH-06

Another dead. Shot during night hours in the Hellhound. Multiple witnesses, but none are willing to speak. Offered protection in exchange for information, to multiple responses of laughter. These people are not afraid of LH, it would seem, but rather what they would lose should the club go under.

NOTE: One of our officers managed to get into the lower level during the investigation. It appeared to be an ordinary office area - if there is any evidence of illegal activity within the building, it is well hidden. Requires further investigation (perhaps a joint TN-OF taskforce is in order, or perhaps we need to flip someone who was already on the inside).
