June 10th, 2025 – RECAP “3PAS War – Benji Ramos – HADES – NoPixel 4.0”

Morning Routine and Chaos Begins
Benji wakes up at the apartment and goes on his usual jog to the Abyss. Before he even makes it there, the boys pull up on him and give him a ride. As soon as they arrive, Dwagon is hyped, bragging to Benji about shooting two people while he was in the 6. The rest of the boys catch Benji up on what happened earlier 3 fights against 3PAS, with Hades winning 2 out of 3.
Benji’s energized and ready to go, wanting to roll out in the 6. He grabs his car from the parking lot, comes back, pumped for a fight, but the boys hit him with the news: “It’s lunch time.”
Then the great time debate happens, Mentos embarrasses himself thinking that after 11:59 AM it turns into 12:00 PM. Everyone clowns him, and now he’s feeling embarrassed about even wanting to roll out.

The Hunt for 3PAS
Reggie lets everyone know that 3PAS is rolling, so the squad loads up and starts hunting them down. In the convoy: Benji’s leading, with Louis, Jayden, Tictac, Rich, and Mentos riding along. They catch a glimpse of 3PAS on the highway near Pillbox, but 3PAS flees toward Fudge. Benji leads them to Mirror Park to try and intercept, posting up at different spots, but they come up empty-handed.

First Fight: Shootout at Pink Cage

Finally, as they drive by Pink Cage, they find 3PAS, and shots start flying. Benji and Tictac stick together but Benji breaks off to the apartment complex and immediately gets dropped by someone on a nearby rooftop. Tictac gets shot down too. Jayden, Louis, Rich, and Rommy are still up. Louis goes beast mode, taking out two by himself. Mentos goes down, leaving just one 3PAS guy alive, but the Hades squad pushes and wipes him clean. They loot all the bodies, scoop up their downed boys, and head to the hospital. Everyone recovers. Tictac heads to bed, and the rest clean up, collect cars, and storing guns in the armory.

Benicio’s Call: War Negotiations
After that, Rich logs off for the night. Benji brings Plok and Winta into the 6. Then Benicio calls. The vibe’s chill but serious. Benicio tries to explain Edgar’s side of things, trying to squash the beef. Benji makes it clear that he feels betrayed by Edgar and others for how things went down. He talks about how he tried to be chill in the city, but people kept pushing him to bring out the “old” Benji. Now, it seems like that switch has flipped. Benji says Hades will never hand over Mentos, and if 3PAS keeps messing with them, Edgar’s wife is gonna be a permanent hostage. Benji’s fully on demon time.

Ammo Order & Squad Up
Benji withdraws $300K from the bank to cover the massive ammo order Jayden placed. They scoop up the order from the airport, deposit it into the armory, and grab Winter to roll out again.

More Hunting, No Luck

Now it’s Demon Squad hours. Benji leads the convoy back on the hunt for 3PAS, hitting all the usual spots, including Fudge. But again, no luck. After hours of driving, they decide to call it for the night.

HR Drama: Vance, Plok & The Boomer Show
Since the hunting’s over, Benji sets up an HR meeting with Vance to clear the air about why Vance stormed off the other day. Vance and Winter had apparently talked things out, and Vance agreed to be clearer when speaking to her as a partner vs. as her LT. Benji’s happy with that, tells Vance he’s his favorite in-law, but makes it clear. Don’t walk away from him or Winter again, or there will be consequences.
Mid-meeting, Jon and some of Manor walk in, and Jon files a ridiculous HR complaint about Reggie. Benji clowns him hard, telling Manor that Jon is basically a boomer pretending to be a zoomer. They even boot up Dwagon’s AI to confirm if being 34 means you’re Gen Z or Millennial. AI says Millennial, Jon’s cooked. The room’s laughing, and Jon’s embarrassed, regretting even showing up.
Then Benji snakes Jon privately, offering him a council seat in Hades. Jon seems interested, agreeing to talk it out with Reggie and Benji the next day. Benji’s excited, he really wants Jon on the squad.

Plok vs. Vance Beef

After Manor leaves, Benji digs into the Plok vs. Vance issue. Vance doesn’t want Plok in Hades because Plok used to be with Loco’s crew in another city, and Vance has a bad history with Loco. Even when Benji brings Plok to the room, Plok’s confused, denying ties with Loco in Los Santos, only admitting to running sanitation jobs and hanging out at Slime Shack.
Benji clears the room except for HR and Winter and lays it out. Vance’s reasoning isn’t solid. Winter confirms that her convos with Plok make her think he deserves a shot. AI tells them: they need better communication and for Vance to actually spend time around Plok. Benji agrees and tells Winter to get to the bottom of why Vance is so stubborn. He’s not cool with someone being blocked from joining just because of vague bad vibes.
Benji brings Plok back in and warns him, if he’s hiding anything about connections to Loco here in Los Santos, he’s got 24 hours to spill the truth or he’s done. Plok agrees and leaves.

Benji Working on Ernie
Right after, Ernie strolls in. Benji sweet-talks him and plants the idea of joining Hades again. Even goes as far as telling Ernie to kidnap Edgar. Ernie laughs but says he’ll think about it. Benji loves it, he thinks Ernie’s hilarious and wants him in the squad.

Final Clash with Vance

Benji overhears Vance still talking to Winter about not wanting Plok in the gang. Now he’s heated. He calls Vance into the room again, demands a better explanation. Vance sticks to his vibes excuse. Benji finally loses it, saying if we operated Hades based on vibes, nobody would be here. He forces Vance to admit there’s gotta be something more or else the reasoning’s trash.

After Tsunami Restart: Resolution
After the tsunami, they all woke up again at the Abyss. Cooler heads prevail. Benji asks Vance one last time. Vance says that it’s the small things he’s seen at Slime Shack that made him dislike Plok, not just vibes. Benji still doesn’t think it’s enough. So they compromise: Let Plok hang around, let him mess up on his own. If he blows it, he’s gone. Vance agrees, feeling better that Benji really does value his input and care about him as part of the family.
Finally, Benji logs off for the night, happy to dream of being a cowboy, specifically Big Baby.
