....the electricity bill..
Due to previously unknown levels of use of plasma guns (often on high setting) by the Van Saar gang when reducing the Sons of Guttenberg Cult to glowing piles of green goo, and accidentally re-charging their guns on day rates, the gang now have an infeasibly high electricity bill. This hasn't been helped by the ongoing war in on the hive wastes and massive mismanagement by the Upper Spire lords, but that's a story for another time. They've tried to avoid paying this by not giving a meter reading (the knowledge of Smart Meters was lost during the dark age of technology) but this has eventually flagged with Sump energy suppliers EON - Energy of Necromunda. (Apologies, that's the last of the crap satire/analogies).
The penalty for not giving a meter reading, like so many things in the Underhive, is 'death by shotgun' (this follows two warning letters). EON Teks, supported by members of the local Arbite precinct, arrive at the Van Saar base with a court order to collect the meter reading. The Van Saar gang leaders witty response? "Why don't you read this?" before shooting his plasma gun and reducing one meter reader TEK to a pile of goo, while making his bill higher once again. The Arbites quickly establish a perimeter around the Arbite base before beginning their assault - Let battle commence!
