Weapons Smuggling Investigation
The Adventurers began investigating a major weapon smuggling ring in 2014. To date it is still operating, but the top of the incredibly secretive organization has been revealed as a new supervillain.
Chapter 01: Investigation
Red Spider, working alone, discovered the smuggling ring in late 2013. Stowing away on their ship, she was going to let them take her back to their port to learn anything she could about the organization - but when they discovered her aboard, they scuttled the ship in Lake Erie, attempting unsuccessfully to take Red Spider down with it.
Curiously Red Spider learned that none of the advanced weaponry being smuggled was ending up on the black market - it was not being sold, it was being stockpiled.
Chapter 02: Tracking Ghosts
With the help of Fox (aka Zero), Red Spider began tracking threads on possible smuggling ring participants. The ring proved incredibly well-organized and secretive, and Fox was injured while apprehending one of their members. Red Spider questioned this one, and got the address of an abandoned tenement which had recently been occupied, but witnesses said a bunch of crates had been moved out days before.
Later, Fox and Red Spider exploited Fox's past identity as a renowned assassin to try to set up a gun buy. Red Spider sprung into action too soon, and with Fox managed to take down all of the gun runners.
Chapter 03: The Adventurers
A team was formed to fight organized crime in the city! The Adventurers now had Cryo-Talon, Ocelot, and Black Asylum, along with Fox and Red Spider, with other new members soon to follow. The Adventurers continued patrols, but the smuggling ring remains elusive and must be drawing closer to accomplishing their plot - whatever it is!
Chapter 04: Icy Reception
Luck allowed Red Spider to stumble onto the smugglers loading their weapons crates into trucks. She was detected and had to fight; Red Spider managed to avoid the workers, but the leader of the smugglers - someone wearing a strange electric tech suit - managed to 'shock' Red Spider with his suit's abilities, incapacitating her.
Red Spider woke up tied inside an empty weapon crate with a giant ice cube dangling overhead, threatening to melt enough to fall from its suspension and crush her. Red Spider narrowly escaped, and began following the spotter who was supposed to make sure she died, hoping she might learn something useful about the leader of the smugglers.
Chapter 05: Showdown at WCOC
An alert at the underground base sent Guidelight and Red Spider to the WCOC TV station. There they found the place under siege by Doctor Killowatt and a group of his well-trained henchmen. Red Spider got caught up in a net while trying to break a barricade into the server room; Guidelight moved in to save her, and took a harsh electrical backlash when he drove into Doctor Killowatt. The villain and his henchmen all managed to escape the server room through a precision hole cut in the ceiling, and boarded a waiting helicopter.
In the aftermath, Ravel Leen gave Guidelight a healing potion to speed his recovery. Illusion took some technical specifications of the experimental surge protector that Doctor Killowatt stole from the station - a clue to his overall intentions. Guardmaster arrived to help secure the building.
Witnesses in the WCOC building noted Killowatt's desire to avoid 'civilian casualties'.
