Playing the Crooked Cross The city of Fairbanks was once known for it's picturesque mountain ranges that edged along the outskirts of the city. As well as the ocean bay at the eastern side of the city that was the only way in and out. Now the The once fair city has fallen into disarray. Many of the buildings are old and dingy, and steam and soot from the many coal and steam powered technologies taints the air that the citizen's breath. To make matters worse the criminal activity has gotten quite out of hand. This movement of thieves and sky pirates has the worst impact on the cities system of imports. Bringing things in from other places is vital for the aristocrats of the city who profit from the outside goods. It also limits the movement of ships in and out of the city. The city of Fairbanks is a mess.

Story In this city of thieves, scholars, and Aristocrats there has emerged a terrible and formidable band of pirates that prey on the ships that cross through the narrow expanse that leads to the open air space. This is the only way out due to the tall mountains. This group of pirates has control over much of the city because they can provide vital things to the citizens at a price. They profit a great deal from this city and will not relinquish their hold on it. The wealthy people of the city have hired a small group of detectives that are working independently of the city police in an attempt to stop them. They are trying a different approach than the police. who are using open warfare between ships. Instead some of the detectives are planning to somehow infiltrate the ranks of the pirate ship and bring the operation down from the inside. A note on the title: To play the crooked cross means to betray swindle or cheat in Victorian slang in the lower class or the underworld. |
