September 20: Deicide in Denver—Gangland Shakeupposted by: Stone9月20日:丹佛弑神者——帮派洗牌发帖人:Stone几年前Traveler Jones发了一包丹佛犯罪组织和帮派的信息,来源是他与多嘴的Dean Costello在市中心巴别塔夜店喝酒时的闲聊。琼斯不住在丹佛,也不住在别的地方,但我的确在过去半年把那当成了家,这里是信息更新。上周发生了太多疯狂的狗屎事情,前一份文件的后半成了毫不相干。
先是周一,掌管精灵为主的暴走帮“葛兹”(Godz)的漂亮小伙二人组,雷克斯·帕克特和阿波罗,被发现死在了PCC区一个小停车场,在I-70公路旁边,靠近惠特里奇。不是正常死亡;我看到的无人机录像显示已经被PSE(译注:Pueblo Security Enterprises, Inc,普韦布洛安保集团有限公司)移开的尸体相当血腥。
> “相当血腥”还不能完全描述。两人被倒吊在一棵树上,腰部以上皮肤被剥了,早晨的露水凝结在血肉模糊的肌肉上,他们的脸因痛苦尖叫而扭曲。绝对是某种信号,某种难搞且私人的信号。我绝对不想查。

葛兹没有和谁结怨,这让他们措手不及。还有很多不那么出名的成员被发现死在PCC区I-70公路沿途,大部分是载具谋杀。
> PSE已经公开承诺调查这些“严重且恶劣的犯罪行为”,但除非暴力开始影响本国公民和持股人,我不确定他们对几个死掉的帮派成员有多上心。

The upshot of all of this is that the Godz, as an organization, no longer functionally exist. Whatever’s left has
no organization, leadership, or safe haven to protect them,
and will probably be picked off in the next couple of weeks
by (in roughly decreasing order of likelihood) the Vory, the
Dogmen, the First Nations, or local law enforcement. So one
of Denver’s top-tier gangs has vanished overnight in a coordinated, focused, and efficient strike that, in a very un-gang-like
manner, no one has taken credit for.
Whodunnit? Well, the obvious question is who stands to
beneft. Te Fronts are the next largest go-gang in Denver, so
they’re possible suspects if you assume they’re looking to expand
their limited cells in the PCC into a substantial presence in Pueblo
Sector, and all that comes with it (adding a third law enforcement
agency for them to contend with). Te brutality of the killing,
however, doesn’t seem to be their style at all; if Amy Steur, the
Fronts leader, wanted to take out Rex and Apollo, she’d have challenged them one on one in a very public arena.
结果就是,葛兹作为一个组织,已经不复存在了。仅存的人员没了组织、领导、安全屋保护,接下来几周很可能会被几个组织吸收(可能性粗略地从高到低):俄罗斯黑帮、狗人(Dogmen)、第一民族(First Nation),还有本地执法部门。丹佛的一线帮派一夜之间被协调、集中、有效的攻击清除了,但没人承认。
谁干的?这么说,明显在问谁受益了。前锋(The Fronts)是丹佛第二大暴走帮,要是你怀疑他们寻求将势力从PCC的小格子扩展到普韦布洛区的重要玩家、以及随着而来的好处(再加上需要对抗第三支安保力量),那么他们可能是嫌疑人。但杀戮的残忍程度似乎完全不是他们的风格;如果前锋的领袖艾米·斯特劳打算取代雷克斯和阿波罗,她会在公开场合一对一挑战。

> The Godz were allied with Emilio Chavez, who’s effectively exiled
from the Chavez Family due to a feud with his younger brother
Carlos. Carlos took over as acting sottocappo of Denver on his own
initiative. It wouldn’t make much sense if Carlos or 120+ year old
Don Miguel Chavez (Emilio and Carlos’s grandfather, operating out
of Ft. Worth) were behind the hit. Emilio himself would have been
the primary target.
> Fianchetto
> Actually, I’ve heard that Don Miguel has ordered his Denver consigliore, Big Joe Lovato, to look into just what happened. Emilio
Chavez is also looking to hire shadowrunners to make inquiries
about the same thing.
Too bad about Rex, though. Fun guy, sure knew how to throw
a party.
> Traveler Jones
> Amen.
> Kat o’ Nine Tales
> It’s also possible that Aztechnology might be involved. I know
they’ve seriously had it in for the Chavez family (and vice versa)
since Don Miguel’s late son Omar (ninety-four when he died) was
in short pants. That’s probably a stretch, though. AZT would go
directly after the aging don in Dallas-Ft. Worth, or after both of his
sons, if they had operatives in Denver looking to hurt the Chavez
family; nothing so indirect as the Godz.

> 葛兹和埃米利奥·查韦斯(Emilio Chavez)结盟,他因为与弟弟卡洛斯(Carlos )的冲突,事实上被逐出了查韦斯家族。卡洛斯主动取代他成为了丹佛的家族副手(sottocapo )。要说是卡洛斯或一百二十多岁的堂米盖尔·查韦斯(Miguel Chavez)(埃米利奥和卡洛斯的祖父,待在沃思堡)策划了袭击不太合理。埃米利奥会是主要目标。
> Fianchetto
> 事实上,我听说堂米盖尔指派了他在丹佛的顾问(Consigliere)调查发生了什么。埃米利奥也在找狂奔者调查同样的事。雷克斯真是太不幸了。有趣的家伙,知道怎么开派对。
> Traveler Jones
> 阿门。
> Kat o’ Nine Tales
> 可能阿兹科技参与了。我知道他们从堂米盖尔已逝的儿子奥马尔(Omar )还在穿开裆裤时就与与查韦斯家族(和相关人员)结怨颇深。但可能推了一把。AZT会直接找达拉斯斯堡里年长的堂,或者他两个儿子,如果他们在丹佛有人员准备伤害查韦斯家族。不会是葛兹这么不直接的目标。

But wait, it gets weirder. I’ve heard that the Cyberspace
Designs Hornet F21 drones that the Godz got from Emilio have
wound up in the hands of the Aurora Angels, a hacker gang based
out of the Aurora Warrens. Te Angels are a tier or two below the
Godz (or were—I guess they just got promoted), and they don’t
have the muscle or manpower to either take out Rex and Apollo
or expand into the Pueblo Sector.
But word on the streets is that the Aurora Angels were just
absorbed into the Fronts, who they warred with a couple years
back. Apparently their leader, Base-13, was reluctant, but his
lieutenant, a technomancer by the handle of Tenebrous, was
instrumental in brokering the deal. The Hornet drones were
reportedly part of that deal. So the Godz are done for, Pueblo
Sector is gang territory up for grabs, and the Aurora Angels have
just become the largest and most influential chapter of the Fronts.
What next?
但是等等,更古怪了。我听说葛兹从埃米利奥那弄到的赛博空间设计·大黄蜂F21无人机落到了奥罗拉天使(Aurora Angels)手上,这是一个在奥罗拉荒地(Aurora Warrens)活动的黑客组织。天使比葛兹低了一两级(或者说曾经——我猜他们等级提升了),也没有足够的实力和人力去袭击雷克斯和阿波罗,或者扩张到普韦布洛区。
但是街头传言称奥罗拉天使刚被前锋吸收,他们几年前还在争斗。显然他们的首领,基数13(Base-13),不太情愿,但他的副官,一个自称“阴郁之人”(Tenebrous)的超链者,主导了双方合作。即是,葛兹完了,普韦布洛区的帮派领地等待认领,奥罗拉天使成了前锋里最大、最有影响力的分部。下面还有什么?

> Actually, my contacts have the details on how the illustrious
“merger” of the Fronts and the Aurora Angels went down.
Apparently, the Yakuza somehow discerned that young Miss
Tenebrous was a technomancer (I’m surprised it took them so
long, although she tried to keep a low profle). The Denver Yaks
have a sideline in grabbing, bagging, and selling technomancers,
and they’ve become quite good at it. The Yaks or some runners
they hired—details are sketchy—made such a grab for Tenebrous
at a time and place where there weren’t nearly enough Angels
around to make a difference against the Yak muscle. Then the
Fronts—or again, some runners associated with them—rode in like
the cavalry in a flatvid Western, fghting off the Yaks. Of course,
they didn’t do it out of the kindness of their hearts. The entire
incident left Tenebrous deeply in their debt. Rather than lose his
Matrix specialist to defection, Base-13 decided to throw in the
entire gang’s lot in with the Fronts.
> Mika
> I’ve heard that Casquilho family capo and Mafa hacker extraordinaire Dean Costello was there to broker the particulars of the
deal between the Angels and the Fronts. See, I know this all the way from Seattle, with the magic of the Matrix. No idea what
Costello’s interest is in getting involved in gang politics, though.
Maybe I’ll crack into his commlink and fnd out if I get bored.

> 事实上,我的联系人有前锋和奥罗拉天使这场出名的“合并”进行的细节。似乎极道用某种方式发现了年轻的阴郁小姐是个超链者(我很惊讶他们花了这么久,尽管她努力保持低调了)。丹佛的极道副业是绑架、打包、销售超链,他们相当擅长。极道或者他们雇的一些狂奔者——细节不清楚——在附近没有足够天使反抗极道的时间和地点尝试绑架阴郁。然后是前锋——或者是一些和他们有关的狂奔者——如同西部平面片子里的骑士一般出现,赶走了极道。当然,他们不是出于好心。整件事让阴郁欠下了大人情。为了不让自己的矩阵专家投敌,基数13决定让整个帮派加入前锋。

> 我听说卡斯基尼奥(Casquilho)家族的头目(capo)兼黑手党黑客,杰出的迪恩·科斯特洛促(Dean Costello)成了天使和前锋的这一合并。看见了吗,我从西雅图知道的,用矩阵的魔法。但不清楚为什么科斯特洛有兴趣参与到帮派政治。要是无聊了我或许能黑黑看他的通讯链。
