We leap forward post-Capitol Point Casino. Bug and Mettle have the Russian and Chinese mobs running business according to the PCs instructions and the Mayor has backed the cops off of terrorizing minority neighborhoods. 

It is now July 1st, 2020 and the duo of heroes feel it is time to revisit the Cockroach Brotherhood, the strange beings encountered in the first smash issue of EHB, and see what their deal is...

Once again a truncated broadcast. What is missed is the confrontation with Endgame in his media control room with some still standing soldiers and a "refreshed" Troll. Bug and Mettle are able to convince the Russian mob boss that if they turned Shamrock Bane to them they would not tear down his hideout and not kill him. He took them at their word and the conversation continued. 

Mettle and Bug proposed to not destroy the Russian mob if Endgame doesn't move or sell guns and does not terrorize civilians and keep gang violence off the street. Endgame agreed to the terms but did not give our heroes much of a life expectancy when the majority of organized crime in Capitol City didn't take a shine to following Mettle and Bug's rules of playing nice.

Endgame springs his deathtrap! A combination of the BAM!-enhanced entity Troll and a massive, building-wide magnetic distortion field.

Mettle reviews the video of Shamrock Bane's kidnapping. Like Deckard in Blade Runner she enhances the cork-board conspiracy map and spots a closed radio station. Endgame, who is behind the Nefarious News Network, and Shamrock his captured news anchor, must be there! 

Taking UltraRosa's tip, Bug and Mettle raid a chines massage parlor to break up a human trafficking operation only to square off against Capitol City Ninjas!

Bug and Mettle conclude the only thing for it is to take a reign of terror to Capitol City mobs and get them to knuckle under to their demands. What could possibly go wrong?
