[QUOTE="MarkB, post: 7647033, member: 40176"] Over the past several months the city's invested in a major cable-laying scheme to bring its broadband up to date, which involved much digging up of major thoroughfares and associated traffic frustrations. Now that it's done, people are going back on the roads in droves, relieved to be free of the roadworks. What they don't know is that the contractors were a front company for The Conductor's civilian alter-ego, and they secretly installed a network of tracks beneath the road surfaces. This morning, at the height of rush hour, the rails burst out from beneath the asphalt, bursting the tyres on the vehicles thronging the streets and locking onto their bare wheels, using the conductive connection to hack their electric motors (the city having banned gas-powered cars in its centre some time ago) and fuse the locks on their doors (it's super-science, don't question it). The entire city centre is now the Conductor's personal train set - he can set the vehicles in motion, weaving between each other on the multiple intersecting tracks in entertaining near-misses, maybe crash some into each other if he gets petulant. His ultimate plan is to set the system to pouring more and more juice into the vehicles' motors, making them ride the rails faster and faster. Once they're up to 100 mph he'll make his ransom demands - pay up, or with a flick of a switch he'll withdraw the rails and set loose a thousand speeding vehicles on narrow, crowded streets with no tyres and no way to control where they crash.
