Skirmish in Boston consisted of a series of engagements between Defiant, Dragon and the Slaughterhouse Nine with The Ambassadors and their Guest caught in the middle.

Prelude[]

With much of the Nines experienced members killed or captured at Brockton Bay the group was forced to go on a recruiting spree to keep their numbers up. They let in a flood of new members to make up for the deficit. They also focus on acquiring tinkers to hasten the end of the world as such they headed to Boston.[3]

As part of the agreement on recruiting Damsel of Distress they took time to attack Accord's Ambassadors and Accord himself.[4]

At the same time over the last few hours things were falling apart in Brockton Bay.[2]

Battle[]

Lucky for the Nine Blasto is at the accord holding that Damsel elects to attack. Having been situated there as part of a long term scheme of Accord's.[5] Blasto is abducted.

Aftermath[]

The groundwork is laid for the The Slaughterhouse Nine-Thousand and the End of the World.

  5. In Accord’s defense, he was planning on framing Blasto, and not letting the tinker get to the point where he really finished a dangerous project; let him start working, get caught up in things, and then disappear, leaving a message for the heroes so they can stumble on the guy with piles of classified material and a possible Endbringer-in progress (note how the place is nice, but it’s not Accord’s real headquarters, as they were described in the last chapter of Migration).

    I was going to have something like that in there, but couldn’t find a place for it at the end that wouldn’t kill the tempo. - Comment by Wildbow on Interlude 19.x
