Ramiel's Random Romp

On this episode of Tenochtitlan TV (transport vision), we find traffic backed up around the Northwestern end of town. The rumors circulating state that...

Fsssssttt errrrrr crunch crack boom.

hssssttt...

That's not the sound that healing makes!

Fwakoom!

Hmm, sorry about that my intrepid adventurers, we've had some technical difficulties here in godland, and we'll return to your regularly scheduled adventure shortly, but until then, we hope to tide you over with news of Ramiel's recent outing and rousting of a small cadre of clockwork criminal creeps he comes close to conceiving the creative connivance of his chore.

Ramiel sent to assignment by Detective Dick (Don't laugh at his name,) makes contact with Miss Parker, and gains information on some possibly perturbant clockworks conspiring to run rampant in Tenochtitlan, and takes it upon himself to retrieve the part that was erroneously handed to a false messenger in place of Ramiel, that was taken who knows where.

A deserted office at the far northern end of LIGHTUP (Learnings Institute of Gnometek Higher Technologies Univeristy Plaza) had been home to a few clockwork minions, for no real reason other than no one felt like asking them to leave, leaving it up to someone such as Ramiel to be asked to clear them out in search of useful information on just why they're inhabiting spaces with no signs of a master.

Ramiel's zealousness, and penchant for shoot first, ask questions later, had him do exactly that. He blew the hell out of the clockwork minions in no time flat, and then was left asking, "What among these scrapheaps would be useful evidence?"

Needless to say, all he managed to find was a badly burnt half scrap of paper, with some formulae on it, and figured he needed to head to the other 'den of evil' Miss Parker had pointed out, in the Industrial Sector, where clockworks had been seen skulking about an out of use duplex warehouse/factory unit.

Ramiel's prowess was so great such that he was able to tear through the packs of clockwork minions interspersed throughout the warehouse, collect a servicable part from one of their mangled scrapheap bodies, and even waylay a slightly tougher minion, the size of himself, armed with a larger electric-energy rifle arm. The puddles of molten scrap heap, or charred areas left where disintegratatory explosions took place were the only evidence of Ramiel's short mission in the empty factor, to his knowledge...

Detective Dick thanked Ramiel for his vigilance and commended him on his aptitude as a field operative, when he returned to the agency. Dick handed Ramiel three Gnometek Clockwork Explosion bullet-tips, built for his gun, an experimental weapon, meant to learn whether or not the theory of electromagnetic fusion based power amplification will disrupt what seems to be neuronic magic that seems to keep the clockwork animate. Or if at least the explosion caps will make a cool sounding boom from inside the clockwork craniums.

Dick then set Ramiel to hunt down at least five renegade clockwork and return to him afterwards...
