Characters in this story

  • NPC — Background charater
  • Amelia — An 18-year-old Yorkshire goth teen turned anti-hero vigilante. Fierce and patriotic, she dual-wields pistols to fight corruption and threats to British values. She fights against the corruption and incompetence in the British government, specifically against Prevent, an authoritarian intel agency.
  • Charlie — Charlie, an 18-year-old British teen, ditches college for radical life with Amelia. From naive gamer tempted by extremism, he becomes a cynical terrorist and Amelia's Clyde to her Bonnie in their anti-corruption crusade. Sarcastic, resourceful, with a dry wit masking moral conflict.
  • Charlene — The twin sister of anti-hero Charlie from Pathways. She begins on a peaceful path working on behalf of the Restore Britain Party for Rupert Lowe as a staff member to go against Prevent. As the story proceeds, Charlene joins Amelia and Charlie's crusade to take down Prevent.
  • Sean — Amelia's older Irish cousin, hailing from a group of Irish travelers. His father was a member of the IRA. He's the grizzled yet fiery mentor figure who taught Amelia street survival that prepared her for her life as a terrorist.
  • Cú — Sean's loyal wolfdog companion, a hybrid bred from a gray wolf and an Irish Wolfhound for maximum strength, intelligence, and loyalty. Cú was raised alongside Sean during his formative years, becoming an integral part of his black-market runs and underground fights.
  • Brigid — Sean's mother, and the leader of the original gang of Irish travellers started by Sean's father.
  • Norm — Sean's little brother and a member of Brigid's gang of Irish travellers.
  • Trixie — An MI6 agent who masqueradeas as a stereotypical British chav. She is investigating Prevent and becomes a reluctant ally with Amelia.
  • Shay — Sean's second. Rode with Sean's father. Holds the fort, asks no questions, misses nothing.
  • Jude — One of Sean's outer lads. Loud, charming, asks too many questions.
Story transcript

Brigid: No room-by-room shite. We take the motor pool, load our people, punch the gate.

Sean: An' the guns in the towers?

Brigid: You make 'em look the other way.

Charlie: Security booth's got the gate controls.

Amelia: Then take the booth. I'll deal with any fucker who notices.

Charlie: Down! Keep pressure on it!

Sean: Open the road, ya bastards!

Amelia: Come on then, you Prevent pricks!

Charlie: Charlene, high left!

Charlene: Got him, brother!

Charlie: Nice one, sis.

Sean: Bastard's got us pinned!

Amelia: Then I'll go through the cunt!

Brigid: No, love. Allow me.

Amelia: Jesus fucking Christ, Aunt Brigid. That's one way through, innit?

Brigid: Less gawping, love. Lets move.

Charlie: Motherfucker!

Sean: Not bad, Charlie-boy!

Charlie: Shit. The son of a bitch tried to sneak up on me.

Norm: Charlie can't open that gate from the booth. It's off-network. Manual motor, separate cabinet.

Brigid: You know that for certain, son?

Norm: Aye. I know where the bypass is.

Brigid: Norm...

Norm: I can do it, Mam.

Brigid: Then do it. Stay low. Come back.

Brigid: Behind Charlie. Cú stays wit ye.

Norm: Yes, Ma.

Brigid: If Charlie says run...

Norm: I run.

Charlie: Know what you're looking at?

Norm: Course I do.

Amelia: Sean, watch your flank!

Sean: Already am, cousin! Keep shootin' the bastards!

Amelia: Point blank, shitheads!

Trixie: Getting rather good at using a sidearm too, Charlene!

Charlene: I'd rather not need to, but I will if it means protecting Amy and everyone else.

Charlie: Norm... the gate's still dead.

Norm: I know. The booth can't reach this motor.

Norm: Off-network. Manual contact's been pulled.

Charlie: Can you fix it?

Norm: Aye. Give me a second.

Charlie: Good man.

Brigid: Wounded first! Children next! Drivers to me!

Trixie: Fancy nicking their van?

Norm: Yeah.

Charlie: Lower Secure’s empty.

Brigid: They surrendered.

Sean: Still got everyone, Ma.

Brigid: Den we leave.

Brigid: Keep tight. Wounded and children in the middle. Nobody overtakes unless I tell ye. Fighters front and rear.

Sean: Rear guard's mine. Nobody gets near the buses.

Charlie: That's it? Bullshit. After all that, there's no way they're not gonna pursue us.

Amelia: Of course, Charlie. That was just the foreplay, darling. Better get ready for the main event, love.

Charlene: Sean…

Jude: WE'RE TAKIN' FECKIN' FIRE!

Brigid: Nobody stops.

Sean: Well, Charlie-boy… looks like dey want their buses back.

Charlie: I fucking knew it...

Amelia: Cheer up love. This just makes things more fun! Well, if they want their buses back, they can come and fucking get 'em!
