The gang spread from detroit to chicago before moving east to new york city and having a small but still strong presence on the west coast in la.

the locales

this is the house purchased by donny davis as a home based for what has become known as the rebel sirens, or those who have defied the big bosses to live a life of quiet-ish seclusion in valkyrie. the house was paid for with money donny has hacked from random bank accounts around the world and currently houses all the rogue sirens and an infamous munitions expert and friend, kale barker. the active sirens will still be seen around the house, sometimes for reasons as simple as to piss off the rogues, now that the hit has been taken off them. the only other living thing in the house is liz's three legged golden retriever named silver.

this building was hailed for making some of the finest beer some fifty years ago, but since has gone out of business and become nothing more than an eyesore around valkyrie. the abandoned building is now home to shady deals and even shadier people including many of the current sirens and use either for parties or business. all that remains of the old brewery is a large, overlooked, rundown shell of a building that had partially crumbled during the earthquake so be careful where you step because sometimes the building can be more dangerous than the people you've come to meet.
