The Alcatraz depot lounge and pub

[font=Garamond]Dervin's arrival in the bar wasn't noticed. The man wasn't well known amongst these Rogues.
At least those that he had sent to round up a crowd had managed nicely. The bar was packed
with dirty faces and drunken thieves. He even spotted a few of the crew and even outsiders.

"Good, they'll carry the news," He whispered to himself, unlimbering the pistol in his
waistband. He pointed the gun at the ceiling and squeezed the trigger gently. The room
erupted with noise and the smell of the charge. The social roar that had filled the bar was
now silent and all eyes were on the shooter.

Without a word, the Rogue climbed onto the nearest table, kicking the drinks from it before
addressing the crowd.

"I am Dervin Malfient, and I've come to claim the title of Crime Boss."

The banter that had previously died down erupted into a new level of fury and questions,
again, Dervin raised the pistol and unleashed a second blast into the ceiling.

"Sylpheed is gone. The Underboss you know as Clif Thurston has been plotting to kill him.
I uncovered this information and attempted to warn Sylpheed. But before Clif was able to
reach him, he was captured by the Liberty Navy. Sylpheed, meanwhile, fled the attempt on
his life, as he's done before. I've returned in Sylpheed's personal Barghe--"

"It's true!" The interruption came from one of those that had met Dervin at the dock.

Dervin swung the pistol towards the man and put a round between his eyes. The smoking
corpse fell to the floor, spraying those nearby with blood and bits of tissue.

"Anyone else care to interrupt me? Good. Sylpheed is gone, and it's the fault of Clifford
Thurston. I am here to clean up the mess. Firstly, I'm placing a sizable bounty on Clif for
his involvement. Secondly, someone buy me some wine, I've had a long day, and I'm not
about to end it sober."

// Anyone interested in the story of how this happened should read the journals of both Clif and Dervin. Individual events are often linked in my posts for context, but to have a full grasp of what happened, a full read may be in order. Your call. //
