Five Men die

EVENT: Five Men die Five men including the First born of the Lindbergh Clan die. Bendixen realizes what he has done, but decides to take it even further.

The clan chief of the Bendixe n had to bite his lip to prevent the gleeful smile creeping on his face as he landed his luxury flier near the XChange, a large crowd had gathered by the wharf. One of the Olafson subs had towed in the white and red painted Sub of the Lindbergs. It was one of his boats who had reported the drifting sub on via Nilfeheim Radio.

He counted eight Elders and at least nine clan chiefs among a throng of Freemen, Low Men and workers. Adolph Lindberg and Isegrim stood in the first row as men carried the five bodies on shore. Bendixen suddenly realized that he went too far, as he saw the faces of the suffocated men. One of them was Adolph’s Firstborn. The Tech stop had worked just as promised, he expected the men to escape and swim to the surface. He wanted the Lindbergs to lose a boat or two, not five men.

But then he steeled himself inside and thought business is business and he wanted to play with the big boys from beyond the clouds. It was their fault for snooping so close. The plan he had agreed upon and paid the Off world women to execute had just unfolded and he knew these were only the first dead in a new war, not fought openly and with honor but underneath the surface with Off world tricks and tech.

Adolph Lindberg’s face was as hard as the rock he lived on and then looked in Bendixen’s direction and all he did was cramp his fist around the hilt of his sword.

Brunar walked over and wanted to offer his underarm and express his condolence, but Adolph turned his back, but Isegrim Olafson who was even among his peer a very powerful presence spoke. “Five men died like magic and without apparent reason not very far from what you claim your waters. We will investigate and if this is anything else than an accident be assured we will find out.”

Brunar did not feel as gleeful as he left the gathering and went back to his flier, but he decided to sink a few more Subs of the Olafsons and the Lindbergs and anyone else coming close, just this time he would not leave any evidence behind.
