=============================== In Character ===============================
The upcoming days and night seem grim. We have been turned against by the Italian Mafia - the Corleone Family, one of our most trusted allies! The thieving Italians set us up for the cops to take down, but they failed! The Italian scum have set in motion what could bring about the end of organised crime in San Andreas. The collapse of the very core of the largest alliance group could bring catastrophe to the gangs of that alliance group and to others. However, we will see to it that if those groups go down, that they'll take Corleone with them, and that we're left standing at the end.
So, how did they turn against us, how did these two-faced fiends set us up?
We first met in the Corleone Bistro, in Yakuza Territory opposite our Los Santos Headquarters in Verdant Bluffs.
The Corleone Bistro MeetingWe arranged a deal, whereupon we would meet in Ocean Docks and conduct a secretive arms deal. We collected our Weapon Stocks from our hidden factory in San Fierro, and headed to Ocean Docks, with Jester escorts.
Our Arms Convoy en-route to Ocean Docks.We arrived in Ocean Docks with six of our Yakuza members - Maxy, Siren, Loki, Axel, Panda, and Razor.
There, we met with the Corleone dealers - Tice, Chris, and Chill.
Our meeting with Corleone at the warehouse.Corleone came to check out our products, and so we brought them to our truck, and opened the back door.
Corleone checking out our products.We demonstrated our product to the Corleone Mafia representatives, we really did trust them.
Us demonstrating our products to Corleone.However, the Corleone representatives only brought us close together to make us easier targets! As soon after our gunshot during the demonstration, the SAPD-SWAT arrived at speed in two full Police Helicopters.
The SWAT arrive in force and at speed in Helicopters.Throwing laughable accusations our way, we knew the real reason they were here, and cursed Corleone right there on the spot.
The group, upon SWAT landing.We speedily rolled up the door of our van, and we scrambled back into our cars, as Corleone did the same. Futile attempts to shoot the SWAT were made by some of the group.
The Yakuza and Mafia scrambling back to their vehicles, and the SWAT firing on us.One of the Yakuza members was injured, so the second Jester stayed behind in an attempt to retrieve him. The lead Jester sped off with the product van.
The lead two vehicles speeding off.The final Yakuza member gave up trying to shoot the SWAT on the rooftop, and ran for the final Jester, which was desperately wanting to leave the docks compound.
The final Yakuza member fleeing for the last Jester.He threw himself into the open door and the Jester sped off, losing pieces of its bodywork and a tyre from the SWAT firepower above. As we had already fled, many of the Corleone's were injured or arrested by the SWAT at the docks. Looks like their tipoff didn't prove to be a success!
The final Araatus Jester escaping the docks.Ultimately, it was decided that the van was too slow to escape the potential SWAT pursuit, so a backup Premier vehicle was used, and the Van's contents were loaded into the Lead Jester and the Premier's large trunk-space. Even so, some products had to be stashed for later retrieval.
Approaching the backup vehicle, and parking.Loading the Jester and Premier with products.We sped off leaving the beat up Jester and Van behind, it is possible that they were recovered by SWAT though it is believed they may have been towed into a civilian impound lot as being simply incorrectly parked.
Leaving the Vehicles.Later on, SWAT arrived at the Araatus owned Solarc Industries warehouse, where we had planned to stash the products. However, whilst the SWAT kitted out their rappelling ropes on the roof, the products were discreetly removed from the compound, and taken instead to a secret establishment and stashed there. The SWAT found nothing in there upon their search.
The SWAT, shortly before leaving.The SWAT, leaving the area, after finding nothing.Shortly afterwards, we returned to Los Santos to retrieve our vehicles and products, but were stopped on the way by pursuing Corleones, who it seems had 'luckily' been released from prison, though we doubt on bail..
Their unmatched appearance and rough weapons were to be no match for our refined Katana Swords, and organisation. However, the Police again arrived and broke up the meeting before anything significant took place. We suspect that they misjudged us, and our superior appearance, apparent organisation and better weapons again forced them to call for Police help. If this is true, then they truly have lost all honour.
The Corleones confronting us on Los Santos Beach Main Road.We left the area, and retrieved our products. However, the vehicles were already gone from the Ocean Docks area, probably towed by Civilian parking officials. And so, that was that.. for now.
The Corleone Italian scum will pay for this insult, they cannot hide behind the SAPD forever, and we will get our revenge for this henious backstabbing. We will work our hardest to protect the existence of organised crime in San Andreas, which Corleone seek so much to destroy.
=============================== Out of Character ===============================
I would like to make a major point of the fact that this does not entitle members to treat Corleones as general "enemies" and attack on sight. That will be classed as Deathmatching. We request only those at the Docks incident or those briefed by one of the Leaders take any action at all, in fact. However, all members are warned that Corleone are in fact now on our enemies list - and as such, we are now on their potential target list. Be warned, and as always, watch your back.
Good Luck.
