To continue the origin story of Bruno's gang we would be remiss if we didn't mention two of the possibly most important and most impactful pair of misfits Bruno had ever met.
Bruno had become accepted into Oren's group of misfits, outcasts, mutants and wyrds. He had finally felt like he belonged somewhere.
Oren began working with Bruno to hone his psychic powers and he began to learn how to use and control them and this training didn't go unnoticed.
One time when Oren and Bruno were at a local tavern called the Gory Hole, a strange pair of characters approached them.
"Ood Nephroi and ..." "Duala Nixfleet at your service.." A tall pale-faced femme with black eyeliner and lipstick accompanied by a shorter, stocky gas-masked male introduced themselves to Oren and Bruno. Bruno looked at Oren and Oren shrugged and whispered, "I've never seen these two before." Then turned to them and said, "Why would we need your service?"
Duala Nixfleet
"Your talents have been observed and greater powers are now interested." hissed Duala. "We aren't interested in any greater..." said Oren before being cut off by Bruno, "Go on.."
"Just meet us at St. Drusus and Cornwall street tomorrow night at the witching hour and we can introduce you to people who can explain more..." said Ood.
At that moment Duala held out an 8-pointed pendant and both Bruno and Oren both felt something they had never felt and they were compelled to comply.
The next night they met Ood and Duala and were introduced to The Cult of the 8-pointed Deity. Bruno and Oren began going to meetings on a regular basis and over the next few months they got more and more involved.
Duala and Bruno became close and she led him to secret shrine where a book had been left centuries ago. He picked up the book and power flowed through him. The Lecticio Divinatus glowed as he held it.
Ood, Bruno and Duala would spend days digging through the book, going over summoning circles and different psychic incantations. Until one day when everything changed.
A whole wall of Oren's hideout exploded inwards and then las blasts followed the explosion. "In the name of the emperor!" was heard as a dozen black armored troops led by a tall man in red power armour stormed into the hideout.
The mutants fought back but were over powered and only Oren, Bruno, Ood and Duala narrowly escaped.
They were then on the run.....
