The Underground

[Melody Frey]

The Underground weren't comfortable with the state of Los Santos, and the truth is; they never had been. A power hungry cartel who ran the criminals with money and promises of weaponry, corrupt government officials who would purchase vehicles worth millions of dollars for seemingly no reason with our own tax money... And the worst of it all; the criminals cowering before the cartel were all at each others throats. Los Santos never was going to get peace. Los Santos was as lost to time as the groups that had come and go in it.

The facts remained the same.
The Underground would always be here as a resistance against the San Andreas Government.
The Underground would always be against the corrupt government officials.
The Underground would always be plotting to deal with the cartel, even if they worked for them at some point.

They grew tired of waiting for the government to change. Even placing illegal firearms inside of Phillipe Sanchez's own home and calling him out about it did nothing.
The criminals and organizations out within the city and beyond it weren't willing to band together to fight the common enemy because they were too narrow minded and only cared for the assets they could get from killing each other.
The cartel would continue to get richer as the poor continued to stay poor.

But The Underground will always continue our fight.

JT and Melody had just woken up and were hanging out at HQ talking about possible ideas for the future. Mel had the idea to go show JT LSD's HQ in hopes of it being a good idea for a future new HQ of they're own. Right after they left LSD's old headquarters they headed back towards their current HQ where they found a LSPD unit setup with spike strips all alone, this instantly got them both thinking? Mel looked over at JT after they drove past and asked "you got any guns in here" referring to JT's car they were in, He said "Hell yeah I got my pistol and my Shotty!" So they spun back around to get closer look at the situation. 

Once they saw it was in fact only a single cop holding this spike setup they knew they had a chance of snagging those spikes! JT kept driving down the street to the old gas station across the street from LSD's old HQ where JT handed Melody his pistol and he pulled his shotgun out of his bag. JT then drove right up on the cop ready for the battle.

JT and Melody both instantly hopped out with there firearms drawn at the officer, but the officer saw them drive by and was ready for this situation, he drew his police issued shotgun and the gun broke out immediately both the UG members and the officer started busting shots back and forth. The gun fight was intense and the officer managed to gun down Melody, but was not prepared for JT to have a shotgun as well.

JT gunned the officer down and while being in the moment and panicking he tried to save his sister Melody instead of the spike strips, She yelled at him while he tried running towards her "GET SPIKES, LEAVE!" So, in that moment he turned around to grab the spikes and hop back into his car, but before he could even reach the spike strips more police were already there on the scene firing directly at JT. He tried to grab one of the spike strips but instantly got shot by the backup PD so he attempted to escape by getting into his car and leaving which is where PD got the last few shots in on him which had finished him off.

March 25th...

The day was young... The group gathered supplies for the event. Pipes... Zip ties... Gunpowder... The video was already sent to the LSPD and would be sent over to Weazel News. They had the bomb prepared. Multiple members of the Underground assisted in it's assembly, and they would prepare to hit the heart of Los Santos. They prepared the makeshift bomb and left it there... The plan was to send a message. People might die... People might not... But the history of Los Santos would be changed forever.

"We Are Coming."

[Suspect X]

With the recent changes the city made to The Underground’s HQ, The group got together for a meeting. The question was asked “Do we stay?” a few members said they wanted to stay but the vast majority of the group wanted to move out. The new modern look to the HQ did not fit well with the group’s lifestyle, along with the billboard of a prostitute on top of the building. The decision was made to move out and the group spread out in hopes to find a new HQ that they can call home.

The Underground needed to show their face about the city to express the fact they are still here and that the people in power can see what chaos is yet to come.

 

The group gathered at the HQ thinking of ways to show their face, JT came up with the idea of marking up Mission Row with spray paint. Everyone agreed with the idea and began to prepare for what they were about to do. Richie ran down to the store to get several cans of spray paint needed for the job, shoved them in a bag and brought it back to HQ.

Upon return Richie laid the bag on the ground and everyone took a couple cans each then continued to discuss how they were going to do the job at Mission Row.

The group got their bikes and met up in the industrial area ready to head on out to make their mark on the city, However as the group pulled up to Mission Row, several cops were around the area at which JT then said “Lets go to the town hall” over the radio.

When the group reached the town hall they ran up to and around the building tagging up the area with pink paint and several messages for the people to see. Soon after they finished up, cops were arriving on scene and the group dispersed with no one caught.

[Melody Frey]

The Underground had once again climbed the ranks of being noticed. A grey SUV pulled up to their compound they had recently renovated... She peaked through the windows, noticing the floral pattern shirts and tech nines. She knew who it was, and they were the next step they had to take. Siding with the cartel... Was it really the lesser of two evils? Melody couldn't think about it.
"Get in."
And that's what she did. They pointed the weapons at her, demanding her phone be turned off and her radio be taken. She adjusted her glasses, doing as they asked. She'd done too many kidnappings to not know what was happening. If they wanted her dead, they'd have unloaded already. It was the meeting The Underground had been expecting for so long.

They stopped at the docks of southern Los Santos...



They all stepped out with her following. They began talking about how the leader of the Russians was missing for being "reckless" and how reckless The Underground was, how they didn't like it at all. Melody responded quickly... "You need someone reckless, just not someone who will ever let things come back to you. You don't have anyone not afraid to go down for murder, for fighting, for doing what's right. We're here to stop everything that's wrong with Los Santos, and we're here for good."

The Cartel went on about how they don't trust The Underground... and rightfully so.

They were reckless, they are reckless.
 
They told The Underground that they will be allowed to bring in imports finally. The Underground planned to take the place of the old Ballas that GW used to run and they would deal with everyone as a neutral dealer, newer and older groups alike.

The Underground discussed how to move forward with their newly found power...

Rebellion. Anarchy. Truth... and guns. Lots of guns.

It was a quiet night in Los Santos, and with nothing planned, Underground was just fishing at the pier. Like usual, though, LSPD likes coming down and checking on things, but fortunately, they left us alone this night. It was just a bit later though that a roadworker in a Vetir came speeding down to the end of the pier with SWAT chasing the road worker. Metro, like usual, likes to be overkill, so they brought a huge riot vehicle to chase the road worker. UG was quick to see the sight and check the vehicles when they went to apprehend the fugitive. Luckily, Jake was able to grab a scout from them and quickly speed off. After losing the cops and getting rid of the tracking device, he pulled into Vinewood Hills and checked the trunk. Jake was overjoyed when he found two spike strips and quickly hid them at a house in the hills for Melody to pick up.

After letting the heat cool down, Jake went to go pick up a few other members of UG. After picking up Melody, Josh, and Will, they went to pull people over in the vehicle where they were quickly seen by police after going near Legion Square. After a goofy chase with Animal Crossing music blasting through the speakers, they were caught after getting rammed into a wall.

 

[Melody Frey]

The Underground was always fond of fighting the LSPD. March 25th was a symbol of the fight... The Cartel told The Underground to stand down against the government.

"Any terrorist activities go through us first."

The thought process was frustrating for them all, to say the least. The spent days working on the pipe bomb IED they had crafted... But they had a backup plan. The Underground wouldn't actively "hunt" cops, but they would fight back. As of March 25th, the rumors of the fights The Underground took to the LSPD grew heavier and heavier, and they were hearing about their own deeds from groups they were close with such as OTF.

The Underground's ideology has always been one-way. The groups against them were doing nothing more than helping the police in the short-term.

"Leave the gang beef underneath us, we're above it" was a quote they would use a lot in their meetings. They met with Mandem, Vory, Lost, an unnamed Hispanic group in their own turf... and unfortunately met with the Rooks as well. Before each meeting, Melody explained to those coming the same principles that they had. 

Meeting after meeting, day after day; The Underground grew stronger. It didn't matter how much Rooks wanted the fights. It didn't matter how often Royals took off their own colors to avoid gang suppression. The Underground is permanent. The fight won't ever end.

"If you're against us, you're with PD."

[RyBred0015]

Once upon an evening in Los Santos, the Underground was rolling deep and they were all itching for some mischief. The banks were still open and available for withdrawals so the Underground grouped up at HQ and began planning their operation. The bank on Route 68 seemed to be the most vulnerable so we planned on taking it for all it had.

We all made our way to Route 68 and posted up at nearby stores waiting for the signal to head in. After a quick look down the road, Mel gave the go ahead and we stormed the front door holding the tellers at gunpoint while Will broke open the door to gain access to the tellers. With a quick bash tp the head with the butt of his pistol, they were eliminated. The drill was spinning in the vault room as metal shavings piled beneath it when Mel came on over comms… “Cops, cops, cops, everybody out!” Like cockroaches seeing the light, we all fled in different directions. Leaving incoming cops to tend to the empty bank and injured tellers. Luckily everyone made a clean getaway, and we laid low for a bit.

Back at HQ, cops were circling like vultures waiting to link someone to the bank job as they saw pink blurs speed by as we left the bank. A bit of time goes by and the cops have nothing but are still buzzing around HQ. Someone suggests we go back and finish the job. So, we made our way back for round two and sent Will in to finish drilling. Finally, the drill broke through and the heavy vault door popped open revealing a locked gate. One simple pick later, we flooded the vault and began to grab as much cash as we could and opened lock boxes to loot anything of value. Sirens draw nearer as the law tries to thwart our efforts. We all mount up and speed off to lose the heat. Again, all are out without trouble and again, cops fall upon the Underground HQ to try to squash us but they have nothing… they are nothing… they are just government pawns chasing nothing.

Vaeseri Family Outing
 

It was shaping up to be a typical day for The Underground with a general hangout and shenanigans. We were drinking and running around the Hotel when Josh decided to attack Kira's car...



Kira needed to drive it and it was unable to start, Josh was punished by having to push all the Vaeseri's from the Hotel to LSC for a repair.



Along the way we made some friends, who advised us of directions, and also decided to partake in the shenanigans by tripping Josh and making it harder for him to get to the destination, Josh was annoyed. By this point he was hot and sweaty after pushing the vehicle up and down hills for the last hour...

News was spreading across the city of this peculiar but serious punishment, it had caused quiet a spectacle and there were a lot of people cheering the Vaeseri's on by the time they had arrived at LSC...



"ONE LAST TURN" James shouted after what was now hours of pushing the vehicle. A long but slow convoy of spectators behind him kept him protected but also kept blasting their horns "hurry up" they yelled. Even some nomads in their RVs pulled up to watch the final sprint.

"Finally" Josh exclaimed as he attempted to check the vehicle in to LSC. Alas, there were no mechanics on duty....

All in all, this was time well spent, we had a bit of fun, strengthened our bond as Vaeseri's and made some life long friends along the way. Josh also learned that whilst its fun to mess around, one day you might just find out...

[Melody Frey]

The Underground always had a very clear vision when it came to sending messages...

The Cartel warned them to not commit atrocities without their permission, but there were no rules in place about planning it still. Melody remembered the IED they had all helped build... Hours upon hours of work, she just couldn't let it all go to waste. As if it were meant to be, the Bathshebas gave The Underground a call and invited them on a tour of the very building they wanted to bomb. The San Andreas Government had sanctioned a small tour of the basement and the ground floor...

All Melody could envision was placing that bomb in that basement and watching the foundation of the building crumble.

[vexanxd]

The Underground was fighting back. They were the surviving force that always fought back.

The 25th of March symbolized much more than just a date for them. That is a pivotal date. One that has proven that The Underground are to be imprisoned together, or not at all. Building relationships around the city has been a key strategy for The Underground, especially for Josh Vex. He's always enjoyed the idea of being the driving force against the always-tyrannical government. And that night was no different. Combining forces with another criminal organization, a clear message was sent. Officers, deputies, it didn't matter who was in the way.

Clear the way, or or be cleared with it.

 

[Melody Frey]

The Underground were never shy from politics even though they despised it all.
 "Royals want a meeting."

Melody sighed heavily, she knew exactly what was coming. The group wanted a meeting somewhere more "private" than Underground's compound, arguably the only safe place to conduct business at. The Underground declined and insisted it be there. The Royals showed up with many members swarming the area and only three walking into the courtyard of their compound. The impromptu meeting was to begin...

As time went on and negotiations continued, Royals demanded that The Underground leave behind their business with Only The Family and in return; total neutrality would be had. The consideration was there... The group needed a chance to talk things over and to reach out to other command members. They weren't sure of how to proceed, as Royals might be blue; but they weren't the biggest or strongest blue gang in Los Santos.

That title would always go to the LSPD, whom of which The Underground had recently seen a known Royal by the name of Justin Redcliff working with...

Knowing that a Royal who had called the police was still alive made the decision very difficult for them. They had taken up the responsibility of killing an unseasoned Underground member for the same thing, but would allow one of their own to go free? The trust was very unstable. The Underground brought up the several members of Royals that were doing business with The Underground, but they were deemed as "personal deals" and shouldn't effect the current meeting. The irony of that was not lost on them as they rarely did business with Only The Family, but they knew it would be deemed "gang deals" if a single member was to do business with them afterwards.

They put things into perspective. The New Age Council formed at The Summit of which Seijin assisted in forming had forced an agreement to lock out all sales from Shadow Ops Syndicate, and moving from there; all groups would become neutral and move forwards. Compromising drops, taxing for neutrality, all of that was supposedly a thing of the past... Until quite literally less than a week later when Royals already wanted to step on the toes of The Underground. 

There was consideration for everything... Until Easton Xai demanded a $20,000 tax weekly if sales continued to be done with Only The Family. The meeting was ended at that point for The Underground. An Anarchist group paying taxes? They all sighed and chuckled. 

It was their allies, or a group who called police on a single person chopping cars for fun. 

Melody mumbled to herself and her peers as the compound was clear...

"We stop sales to SOS when Royals run rampant? Holy fuck, the amount of irony in all of this is crazy."

It was really the same as any other day in the life of a criminal, so Kira's to-do list was very brief.
to do:
1. hang out with my favorite underground homies
2. make the lives of any and all LEO's a living hell
3. look cute as hell doing it
The day started off simple, really. The plan was to rob a store, maybe even two. Make some quick cash, do a little evading if necessary, give literally everyone in her vicinity an attitude, the usual things. So that exactly what Kira did! The Underground, and a few others grabbed their bikes and rallied at the HQ to get things started, but what's the point of even hanging out with the homies if you're not going to invite everyone's favorite dog of Los Santos (Wolfgang, obviously... keep up) to come along with! So the shenanigans began, multiple stores were successfully robbed, everyone was able to evade the police more than once, and then the worst news possible came over the radio. "Arrroooo" was a call of distress from Wolfgang as the police successfully cornered him, and were approaching Wolfgang rapidly to make their arrest.

And just like that, the game plan for the day had tentatively changed. The updated game plan was as follows.
to do:
1. save Wolfgang
2. make the lives of any and all LEO's a living hell
3. look cute as hell doing it
To sum it up, the game plan didn't go exactly as planned. Underground showed up to DOC, prepared to stop Wolfgang's transport into DOC, and get him back home safely. Unfortunately they under-estimated the lengths people would go to assure Underground didn't get their way, and that Wolfgang would get booked in DOC. Helicopter's deploying officers on to roofs, DOC guards set up for their arrival, when it was all said and done, Wolfgang was certainly not rescued, but the night wasn't over.

Not even able to get back to the city from DOC, the plot thickened for the crew. When Melody made the call-out over radio that the police were chasing her and she couldn't shake them, it was game on. Underground set up at garbage, ready to help Mel escape the grasps of PD, and the game plan changed once again.
to do:
1. help Melody
2. make the lives of any and all LEO's a living hell
3. look cute as hell doing it

If you've caught on to any part of this story by now, you've understood that things don't always go exactly as planned, so here's the gist of it. PD and SD have helicopters. UG does not have helicopters! PD and SD have long-ranged weapons, like marksman rifles and such. UG usually has .50 pistols! PD and SD have the ability to fly helicopters at heights pistols do not reach and shoot said long-ranged weapons at the unfortunate souls below. UG smiles and nods as MD puts them on stretchers and transports them to Pillbox! And despite what some would look at as a loss, the fun was far from over for this rambunctious group. 
7 underground members were patched up at Pillbox and transported to DOC, with a more high profile transport than the president himself could ever afford if he ever came to Los Santos, and the plan had to adjust a little, but chaos and havoc could certainly still ensue in the depths of DOC. 
to do:
1. not get "360 no-scoped" by Kourtney and her sniper rifle
2. make the lives of any and all LEO's a living hell
3. look cute as hell doing it

Reunited with their good friend Wolfgang, the craziness of Underground continued at DOC. Yelling, many arguments, and a couple thrown punches later, Kira scored herself a brand new pink cast on her left foot (bullets hurt, and can do some real damage to a size 5 foot, but Old man Frank at DOC with the help of MD were truly the stars of the show that night!). Coming off a wicked high from pain killers and anesthesia post foot surgery, Kira was happy to finally get some rest for the night in her home away from home, but little did she know even more Underground would be joining the DOC madness the next morning. 
Kira was pleased with the arrival of 5 more Underground members the next day. Why they were here? Who cares. The craziness was about to begin again, and pink cast or not, Kira would hobble to that craziness if necessary.
Kira and her pink cast would hobble anywhere to be with her family.

[Melody Frey]

The Underground were still regularly dealing with their Royal problem. The truth was what they had always said in the past...

"If you're not with us, you're with PD. Back the blue, or back the pink."

Some groups couldn't look above the gang beef or see the bigger picture... Namely the Royals. The Underground had secured all around neutrality from the rest of the entire city. The ceilings of Los Santos couldn't hold down The Underground, no matter how damn oppressive it might be, or even if their opposition continued to behave recklessly. Everyone knew what Royals were doing. They were here to fight and attempt to steal assets from those working to improve Los Santos. It seemed to The Underground that the color blue was simply cursed to be opposition for whatever reason it might be... But the truth was that The Underground had access to two things that Royals didn't have access to...
Ideologies, and imports.

"Fight it."

The words were mumbled over radio, then yelled. Surprisingly this wasn't about either blue gang this time... It was about issues stemming from the Underground's time in prison. They were no strangers to behavior like the Bingley's were doing, just sitting at their HQ and calling police and attempting to even bring stolen cars there to try to get the Underground raided... So they grabbed their kits. Practice for the future...

"Fight it."

[Melody Frey]

The Underground was fighting at every turn, fighting fire with fire. The LSPD had gotten much more bold in it's attempts to fight The Underground, and catching them unaware was the primary tactic. Day-in and day-out The Underground searched for setup spots to bring the fight to the LSPD whenever they stuck their noses where it didn't belong.

"You only take fights when there's a two or three officers on shift."

The words echoed in Melody's mind as she gave the go-ahead to pull into the parking lot across from Vinewood precinct... The chase had lasted around ten minutes. They had all available officers on shift on this pursuit and both sides knew it.

The fight was quick, methodical, and no one from The Underground was caught. Bodycam footage from the scene was quickly taken, and the SWAT pager was rang for backup...
"Kill them and leave."

[Richie194]

On the 8th of June, Richie saw the city was quiet and there was nothing happening. The only thing he could think of right now was chaos followed by more chaos. Richie called his friend Leo to see if he was busy, when they met up at the bank and discussed what to do.

At first it was the casual joke around and fuck about sorta thing, trying to annoy the government and PD by getting in their way and just deliberately making their job difficult, not that they do much anyways.

After about an hour of joking about Richie had the amazing idea of making bomb threats in the city hall. So while still annoying certain GSB in the town hall Richie decided to yell out

 

“Has our guy put the bomb down yet?”

 

Shortly afterwards, they ran out and drove around for a bit only to come back to city hall 30 minutes later to see the same GSB and to do the same thing. This time, Richie and Leo both knew that the charge for domestic terrorism would be placed on them if there was a real bomb. So Richie went to an empty radio frequency and said,

 

“It’s gonna blow.”

 

Obviously none of these statements were true but Leo and Richie ran out again and left the hall for a good hour before Richie came up with a new idea that’d make the government concerned over nothing. The idea was to put a beeping device in a bag and drop it in the middle of the hall, no bombs, explosives or gunpowder, just a beeping device.

 

Leo took his empty bag and placed a beeping device inside the bag to the point the bag would now be beeping and no one could see the contents. Leo ran into the hall with the bag and placed it by the left staircase, then they darted out of there to circle back again later with the unfortunate surprise of PD waiting.

 

As Richie and Leo were detained the bomb squad came to the hall followed by metro and swarms of PD. Then PD decided to perform a controlled explosion inside town hall on the fake bomb, damaging the inside badly. Shortly after Leo was arrested for domestic terrorism and Richie was let go but they both knew this wouldn’t be the last thing they did.

Richie and Leo met back up after the fun joke to see the damage done and even though no bombs were used, we were called terrorists in public. Not that they didn’t like it but it just gave them the all clear to do more, maybe with a real bomb next time.

[DontSniffSugar]

 

It was a day like any other for Claire, riding around with her friends and looking for mischief to cause. She found herself at the San Andreas Department of Corrections with her friend Luna. Claire wanted to go to DOC, so that she could ask a guard for her items back. As Luna and Claire were pulling into the parking lot of DOC, they saw it.... A poor abandoned Scout just sitting there. Claire then smiled and then turned to Luna and said, "Are you thinking the same thing as me?" To which Luna responded with, "Don't tell me you are planning on stealing that Scout." Claire then remembered all the times that she was arrested, and have had her items misplaced, and then she decided to simply return the favor. 

 

She got out of Luna's car and walked to the Scout, and then said over radio, "Tell me if you see anybody come outside", and then began to lockpick the Scout. Just like that, the doors to the Scout were unlocked, and she got in the driver's seat and began to take her screwdriver. She began hotwiring the Scout. To her surprise, she played this out perfectly, no alarms were set off, nobody batted an eye of her devious mischief that she was doing, and the Scout's engine turned over. The Scout's engine turned on, and Claire instantly took the tracker from the glovebox and drove off. As she drove off, she burst out loud in laughter, laughing at the fact the poor officer had to either: walk back to the police station, or do the radio call of shame to ask for a pickup. As she was on her way back to HQ, she picked up Oscar Islington who was stranded on the side of the road and asked if he would like to do some shenanigans with her and Luna. 

 

Luna parked Claire's vehicle at HQ and they were off to the dam to wait for another person to pickup, the one and only Patrick Mcginn.

 

We eventually heard Patrick say over the radio, "I'm at HQ" and we were off to pick him up. Patrick got inside the Scout and we were off. We pulled over some vehicles and joked around with them, laughing at how easily the Police Officer let us "borrow" his cruiser. Some people were not happy and tried to ruin our fun by calling the police on us, leading us to flee before we lost our joyride. 

 

We had then seen a bus that was LOADED FULL of off-duty police officers and sheriff's department deputies. Claire then burst out in laughter and said, "I'm pulling this bus over." And she did exactly that. Apon turning the lights and sirens on inside the Scout, the bus pulled over, and they almost instantly knew we were not police officers. Deputy Alester Carter then exited the bus and told us to leave. Knowing they are were Law Enforcement Officers, Claire made the decision to leave, as they were all most likely armed while off-duty and she did not want the fun to end just yet.

 

Eventually, as all good things do, her fun came to an end. The same taxi driver who called the police on us had accidentally swerved right into her Scout, and caused her to stall the vehicle. (Such a meanie right?) Claire instantly began to hotwire the Scout once more, until she looked to her side and saw it, a real Police Officer coming straight into her direction with his lights and sirens on. Claire then instantly stopped hotwiring, and a kind stranger quickly let her get into his vehicle, and they sped off before the officer knew it was her. Claire recognized the officer as she was driving away. Claire then whispered to herself, "Anthony Gray...".

 

Claire barely managed to get away. If it wasn't for this kind stranger getting her out as soon as possible, she would have been sitting inside DOC once again! Once the kind stranger gave her a lift back to HQ to get her car Luna dropped off, she instantly asked on the radio, "Is everyone okay?" She got a response from everybody and confirmed that we all made it out without an arrest and she let out a deep sigh in relief. She did not want to get others arrested for her shenanigans. Everybody had then parted ways in order to avoid any possible arrests.

 

Claire was then sat as city parking, and was approached by Officer Ryoshi. Ryoshi asked Claire, "What have you been up to lately? We've had a police cruiser stolen, know anything about that?" Claire thought to herself: "Do they know? Am I about to be arrested? They know for sure." Claire then responded to Joshua and replied, "I've just been chilling here talking to the taxi drivers", hoping that he would believe her quick lie... To her surprise, Joshua either believed her, or was too occupied to further investigate, leaving Claire to be a free woman for another day.

For The Underground, intolerance isn't tolerable.

They heard stories of a man running around, ripping down local pride flags, making racist remarks; and just overall being an insufferable person. It was the one time they agreed with SAGOV on something... But they wouldn't handle it the same way. A judge by the name of [Redacted] confirmed the person was in fact the same person who had come to The Underground's compound and continuously kick cars and troll.

The hunt was on.

She attached the file with a small text rat as the message title.
The Underground were still the watch dogs of the city...
"Respect Existence or Expect Resistance."

[James McGrity]

Self Reflection:

                                      

James sat on a weathered wooden bench in the motel, bathing the warm glow of the moonlight. It had been an eventful year, and as he looked back, he couldn't help but smile at the journey of improvement he had embarked upon with his friends, "The Underground."

Twelve months ago, James was a different person. Lost in the monotony of his daily routine, many people claiming to be friends and family ultimately proving they only had self interest at heart. He felt suffocated by the lack of purpose in his life luckily, fate had other plans for him. One evening, as yet another group he thought to be his family disbanded, the leader taking all the spoils of the groups hard work for himself before becoming uncontactable. James wandered aimlessly through the city streets, he stumbled upon a small, unassuming motel.

James thought to himself "wow this is a great metaphor for how my life is going"... A flyer caught his eye... "Respect Existence or Expect Resistance" he read further... it was a small poster signed "The Underground."

Intrigued, James decided to hang around this group more often. Little did he know that this group would change his life forever. He stepped onto the roof of the motel, filled with a diverse group of people, all seeking personal growth and improvement. Among them were artists, entrepreneurs, writers and dreamers, all with one clear interest, STOP CORRUPTION.

Over the next few months, James formed deep connections with the members of The Underground. They shared their dreams and fears, creating a safe space for self-expression and growth. James found solace in their support and encouragement, realizing that he was not alone in his pursuit of a more meaningful and corruption free life.

Together, they embarked on a journey of stopping corruption, they held workshops, shared knowledge, and challenged each other to step out of their comfort zones. James discovered his passion for taking to police cruisers with baseball bats, nurtured by the guidance of a talented disruptor within the group.

"The Underground" also pushed James to confront his fears. With their unwavering support, he ceased being intimidated by the police and other government agencies. In fact, The Underground had taught him to completely disrespect their authority and he proudly did exactly the opposite of what he was told by them.

As the months flew by, James witnessed the incredible transformation of his friends family. Slowly but surely they had all outgrown themselves, from living in cardboard boxes surrounding campfires, driving cars held together with glue and tape, to owning almost every room in the hotel and being able to keep their cars refilled and serviced.

Now, sitting on that park bench, James marvelled at how far they had come. The once-lost souls had found their purpose, their voice, and their community. 

They chanted, Respect Existence or Expect Resistance as the moonlight dwindled into sunrise.

"The Mischief..." Melody uttered to herself.

The Underground had been training their rats for ages, all the way back to when they wore their rat masks as a cult... They had a chance to begin a new form of smuggling within the city. 

The sewers.

While they were closed off to a majority of the public, The Underground knew the ins and outs of the underground network beneath Los Santos. It was time for them to start something from scratch the city had never seen before... Utilizing rats to smuggle small quantities of drugs and illegal items throughout the city.
With their alliances growing ever-stronger, there was virtually no limit to what they could push underneath the city while going entirely unnoticed. The Underground had achieved a perfect network...

[Melody Frey]

The Underground had seen Maze Bank's vault filled to the brim with cash and gold during a music video of King Quan Bathsheba's. Letting the other's go forward and have fun with the video, a sole agent of The Underground stayed behind and began scoping the place out, taking photos of the vault and potential entrances.

The bank heist would be the biggest one in all of Los Santos if it could be pulled off appropriately... It could be such a hit that it could cripple the San Andreas Government. Everyone was in agreement to move forwards and begin reaching out to other organizations soon. They still needed to map down the entire bank... But this was it.

They would begin utilizing their new techniques over the course of the next week to map the building and any variables in place that could disrupt the flow of the heist.
It was time to start prepping.
