Okay I have to ask...what exactly are you trying to get out of this? I mean I don't think your going to get much of a ransom for a washed up corrupt politician who's career is circling the drain. Is this a political statement? Because we literally have a stage right there if there's a message you want to get out. Personal vendetta? I'm sure we can work something out without threatening all these nice people. Or are you guys hired goons? Come on, talk to me here."
Marshal Lawless smiles without smiling. You get the
impression he's smiling, if his jaw was not set in that roguishly handsome way and his eyes were not hidden by dark glasses. "Gelert, I believe? The Anarchy Command does have a statement to make. But we will be doing it with actions, not words, as you are about to discover."
"I assume you know by now the Mayor was an Illuminati puppet," he says, holding up Cooper's squirming bulk by the scruff of his neck. "A high-ranking one at that. Puppets may know useful things, especially ones who have been in office for twenty years. The Anarchy Command's torture chambers will squeeze from him every last bit of information he knows about the Illuminati and its vast resources."
Cooper goes so pale at the mention of torture that he now looks like a white napkin wrapped in a red one. The bald patch of skin atop his head is clearly glistening with sweat.
"D-D-Don't torture me!" he squeaks. "I'll tell you everything, right here, right now!"
Marshal Lawless just looks at him.
Cooper says, "The password to my email is 'champ1onssux', with an x. No spaces."
Marshal Lawless looks at you as if to ask "is this guy for real?"
Cooper just keeps going. "I also got my staff to anonymously post nasty comments about St. Benedict's hospital and all of Amethyst's TikTok videos. Oh, and..."
In the distance you see that the staff on site have, per your orders, immediately started to evacuate the civilians as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, there's the problem that you are on an island in the middle of the Bay and the primary way on and off it is by ferry. There is no way that the staff can evacuate the entire crowd on their own. If this situation is going to be resolved, it's going to take some Hound of Hope action to do so.

You score 3 degrees of success. I originally said only 1 round, but you know what, let's make it 1 step up the ranks table for each additional degree. So with 3 degrees of success, you act uninterrupted for time rank 2, which is 30 seconds. Marshal Mayhem and his troops are not able to do anything in response.
