Description: Jo, Akuryo, and Elliot reach Highend after a few days, due to many obstacles in their way. In Highend they meet Duda, who Jo convinces to help her bring down Conqueror Worm, as well as Henry, a Paladin contact to Jo. In the mean time, Bunny Mio, a mysterious Assassin that had just been sent to No Man's Land, was hired by a faction in The Family. This faction, led by Mr. Gold, a member of the Council of Gentlemen, was created to overthrow the ruling mob bosses and place himself in charge. Only a day after Vulture Team got to Highend, a battle broke out. A Coup'd'etat against the higher ups of The Family began. Family Loyalists were led by another member of the Council of Gentlemen: Mr. Ghoul. A battle broke out in Highend, with Vulture Team on the side of the loyalists and with Bunny Mio working for Mr. Gold.

The battle started out small, and no firearms and real lethal weapons were used actively on either side, save for the officers involved. Mr. Gold and Mr. Ghoul would have a firefight on the rooftops of Highend, both being assassins with cybernetics, this was one of the earliest battles involving cybernetics in what would become a war that would encompass all of No Man's Land. In the middle of the battle, Mr. Gold betrayed Bunny Mio and nearly killed her. Bunny Mio escaped Highend with her life. In the middle of the battle, the higher ups of The Family made an appearance. They called to an end of hostilities, and surprisingly, the battle came to a sudden end. A particular member made a rousing speech that managed to keep the peace. Mr. Gold, still eager to take control of Highend, escaped to seek support from Conqueror Worm.
