A Month on the Job [Occupational Training]

[Nydardomond]

1st Brightening of Junctior, Autumn, Era XIII (pf)

It had been a couple months since Nyd joined the Constabulary of Nexus Prime. His first, only, and ongoing assignment was the Brute Squad working the graveyard shift. This put him in contact with some of the more unfavorable inhabitants of the city. Regardless of this, Nyd enjoyed his job and felt that he was making a difference no matter how small. In addition to working the late darkenings, Nyd also performed duties during the brightening; often pulling double-shifts and manning one of the city gates. This was all due to the slashed funding laid upon the constables a few months prior.

Since joining the constables, Nyd also was able to move out of the slums of the Markus District as he was invited by his friend Viskyia to be her roommate. He chose of course to live outside, in his tent, in her backyard. He refused to impose upon his friend even if she did often pester him about moving inside.

Summer came and went rather quickly and of course then came Autumn. The first darkening of Junctior found Nyd patrolling the docks. He was member of a relatively small squad that patrolled the outskirts of the docks as few ever made it very deep and came back unscathed. Often though, Nyd would venture further in to deal a bit of justice before returning to his patrol route. His squad consisted of five constables including himself, all but him being human. They were: Tuinst Valdor, Samtuk Lyceus, Ramsey Ruffa and Gordon Hozen. It had been rough working with them at first as they were quite against the idea of serving alongside and orc but after a couple of months, they came around as much as four somewhat racist humans could. And after a few run-ins with the criminal type where Nyd's sheer power and martial skill saved the day, the group had grown closer.

The docks of course were not a pleasant place to be when the darkening came. There was little overall law enforcement with what semblance of order there was being overseen by crimelords and the like. Nyd and his squad split up as usual. Tuinst and Samtuk paired off on one route, Ramsey and Gordon on another leaving Nyd on his own for the third and final route.

Things started out normal enough until Nyd heard sounds of struggle roughly a block away. He recognized the shouts of Ramsey and Gordon calling for aid. Tuinst and Samtuk would be too far away to make it to the others quickly if they were even able to hear the call for help. Nyd took off in a dead run toward the sounds and rounded the corner of a warehouse.
