We started out small. Nothing more than myself, my gun, a slogan, and an idea. Well, I simply couldn't let things stay like that. But before I was to be able to do anything, I needed to get some equipment.
I couldn't afford to buy much, but I got what I needed. A crowbar, and some spraypaint. I could leave a message.
(I failed to get a screen of the shelter.)
So I went to the homeless shelter, and made my mark. A lot. Then I left.
Now I needed more people, to help me carry on the cause, should something unfortunate happen... I had begun talks with a mutant I met at the homeless shelter, but one person a squad does not make. I needed more. The first place I checked was the coffee stand downtown. Nada but dirty conservatives. The next place I went was the internet cafe. There my luck was a little better. I found no Liberals, but plenty of moderates who were willing to hold meetings later. It took more than a week total, but I had some new converts to the cause.
First, we have Korbac, our Mutant. She'll be spending most of her time fixing our shredded clothing and making disguises, though.
Next, we have Phantom, the Teenager. I look forwards to teaching him the art of spine crushing.
Third, we have Itnetlolor, our College Student. He'll do some writing work for us when he isn't out playing music for the masses.
Finally, we have Bdthmag, the Transient. He'll go with Bd when he goes to rock out, and spend the rest of the time changing peoples minds with his crazy skills.
I also picked up a guru hacker (Seriously. 8 programming skill. It's fucking insane.) and a thug who won't tell me their names. So, I let Korbac churn out first rate police uniforms, until we were out of cash for them, then I too the extras to the pawn shop for a cool cash infusion.
Then I got an idea. It was devious. I knew how I could turn those foolish Conservative's own sweatshops against themselves. I ordered Korbec to make some Security uniforms. He made two perfect ones, and one with only a minor mess up. It was perfect. So, we suited up, and took off.
It was only a small harvest the first time, but I knew where this could get us. It only cost half the materials to make clothing while we're using the sweatshop's cloth against us. That means double the profit. And the conservatives didn't suspect a thing.
We went back the next day, but this time, I wanted to try my luck. I even rescued an oppressed individual, if only to help out back at HQ making cloths to sell. But then... Disaster.
....
It ended there... (Lesson learned. A 2v1 advantage isn't good enough with no dodging skills. I didn't have anybody with 100 juice, so nobody took over. Good thing I backed up a save this time.)

Today, I considered trying to loot the sweatshop. Then I considered the results.
