Hello Grandmother,

It’s frightening the way things have fallen apart since I left. L.A.’s really gone down hill quickly under the absentee leadership of the Bride of the Sword. With the Ministiries in disarray after the Valhalla attack, the city’s leadership has splintered. The psychic’s have made a clean break from the Hack, and seem to be operating independently, currying favor from job to job. Fang’s old wolfpack has been leaderless for two months and has formed itself into more of a roving stick-up gang, picking on any weak links in the power structure. Muerto has set himself up as a ruler in Santa Monica, becoming one of the more powerful leaders in Los Angeles. Mother Superior has started making a serious play from the south, and the two seem to be engaged in a powerful turf war.

Meanwhile, the Infiltration has most of the Valley in a grip of fear. The true extent of their power has yet to be revealed, but the mere fact that they have a teleported has tripled their ominousness. The Alternate has seemed to have disappeared with the other leaders, but its network has stuck together out of a sense of desperation. The more militant car robots seem to be the most likely to take control of the unaffiliated robots. Meanwhile Flux has been posting rants hidden electronically throughout the city. It seems to have become a rabble rouser in my abstention. The question is becoming: what happens to the city if the leadership doesn’t return?
