Editing The Irregulars (section)

===[[Gold Morning]]===
The Irregulars fought at the [[oil-rig battle]] during [[Gold Morning]] as part of the 80 strong contingent. 

Taking advantage of the chaos following the battle, the Irregulars broke the truce by attacking Cauldron directly, freeing imprisoned [[Case 53|Deviants]] from their cells and attacking Doctor Mother against the wishes of [[Weld]]<ref>“I thought you agreed with ''me'',” Weld said.<br><br>“Because a few good arguments are going to change our minds?  Convince us that we’ll take a nice, peaceful route, after years, ''decades'' of suffering?”  the girl asked.<br><br>“We can’t become monsters in ''action'', Gully.”<br><br>“Some of us already have,” the spike-boy said.  “The rest?  I imagine they’re working on catching up.”<br><br>Weld turned around, his back to Doctor Mother and the others, as if he were shielding them.<br><br>“Does ''everyone'' disagree with me?” he asked.  “You’ve all been plotting this… mutiny?” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/17/interlude-28/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 28]]</ref>, incapacitating Doormaker in the process<ref>“Door,” the Doctor said.<br><br>There was a tearing sound, a wet crack.<br><br>One of the deviants had appeared beside her.  Yellow skinned, with bruising in the recesses of his face, arms and hands.  He smiled, his teeth narrow like a fish’s.<br><br>He withdrew his hand, and Doormaker crumpled to the ground, limp as a rag doll, blood running from his forehead where his head had been smashed against the wall. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/17/interlude-28/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 28]]</ref> and nearly killing [[Contessa]] using [[Mantellum]]'s power.<ref>The sounds of conversation faded.  Contessa consulted her power.  They were most definitely gone.<br><br>She remained where she was, tending to the wounds she’d received in the course of selling her ‘death’, waiting for them to get far enough away that she could make her way back indoors.<br><br>This ‘Mantellum’ had been close enough that he should have been able to block her power.  He hadn’t.<br><br>Because he’d been on the other side of the portal.  The power didn’t cross dimensional boundaries.<br><br>She’d been lucky.<br><br>Minutes passed before she found her feet.  She made her way up the hill.  Easily.  Always easily.<br><br>Until she reached the top, and found only the view in front of her.  No doorway.<br><br>''Not so lucky''. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/12/interlude-29/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 29]]</ref>

They were decimated when they were engaged in combat by [[Taylor Hebert|Weaver]]'s strike team<ref>One pass.  A lazy swoop with the swarm, the knife suspended by threads.<br><br>I couldn’t see, even with the camera, but I was aware of Mantellum stopping in his tracks.  The boundaries of the circle stopped drifting in the general direction of the stairwell.<br><br>I waited, ''willed'' the lights to flicker.  Time passed.<br><br>People were reacting, outside the circle.  How much damage had I done?<br><br>The lights went out.<br><br>Another pass.<br><br>Mantellum’s effect dissipated.  The blind spot filled in, a crowd, capes, blood spraying.  My bugs could sense them all. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/28/venom-29-5/ Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.5]]</ref><ref>Floret shrugged.  “We could handle a computer, a lock, even a vault, no sweat.  But not this.  The plan was to wait for the group on the other side of the facility to forge their way through the steel, or ''around'' the steel, but someone gave the Custodian a tinker-made super death knife, and well…”<br><br>“That was me,” I said.  “Nothing to do with the Custodian.”<br><br>“Ah, well,” Satyr said.  “Good and bad to any situation.  We’ll be able to assert control over that group more easily, with their leadership dead.  And there won’t be as great a chance that they take the good Doctor out before we can get a word in… but progress will be slower, and we don’t have much time to spare.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/01/venom-29-6/ Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.6]]</ref>, and presumably took even more casualties when the [[Cauldron Compound]] was self-destructed.
