December the 6th was a chilly winter night - the moon was nearly new, so the seas were covered in the darkest gloom. The stout warships of The Dunning Institute were confident in their advanced radar technology & vast network of intelligence that deemed the zone would be well defended.
Eliciting the help of a new ally, The Dunning Institute's defense was supported by a battery of railgun fire directed towards Kill van Kull - courtesy of The Tower Syndicate.
The People's Hamblet had suffered some setbacks in recent months, but their spirits were never dampened with the timely and eloquent pamphlets distributed to their units surrounding the Upper Bay. With the support of Moe the Turreton, Mr. Hamblet's bold move into the Upper Bay was a shock far greater than the bone chilling gusts of wind coming in off the Atlantic.
Two of the People's most battle hardened units, #4 & #5 moved in, one behind the other in order to mask their signature on the sophisticated radars of The Dunning Institute. As added distraction, Moe began firing random pot shots into Soho - disrupting the concentration of the Tower's rail gunners on the pier. Another of the People's Units - #2 began to send high-frequency jamming signals towards the southern end of Upper Bay - wreaking havoc on communication between The Dunning Institute systems.
Mere minutes later, the Dunning Institute saw that there were not one ship - but TWO screaming at them at full throtlle - far too late to get their systems back to normal and put up a defense.
It was a fairly bloodless battle, with many from The Dunning Institute abandoning ship with vital pieces of top-secret technology. In their mercy, The People's Units allowed their safe passage to the docks of Sunset Park, knowing that it would take several more months for The Dunning Institute to recover from the wickedly sly strategy of The People's Hamblet!
