Major updates are done! We've squashed the nastier bugs, but there are probably a few smaller ones still scurrying about. Send us a DM on Twitter (@lowerworldtsw) or to @Custodian/@Voltigeur on this site if you catch one!
We'll be tweaking the site's appearance and updating guides as the month goes on. :)
Marli continues her deep cover within Seoul. Any information she finds is funneled out via secure Night Watch channels to end up at any interested parties.
In San Francisco, the busy little terrorist Bangarang has been trying to take over the Orochi-owned QBL Media station Action News 9. She lays on the bed of her cheap, dingy hotel. One ankle is wrapped tightly in ice and propped up on a chair. A smartphone leans against some pillows nearby, playing Sesame Street in French. She speaks and sings along with the program as her fingers work quickly to roll a joint. To the outside observer, she's as high as a kite already, at least until the phone rings.
She stares at it for a second while the caller ID pops up, then snatches it up and hits pause on Sesame Street before answering. The voice on the other end isn't one she knows, but it's a call she's been expecting. She shoves the phone in her pocket, throws her drug paraphernalia and prescription bottles into a owl-shaped backpack, yanks the ice off her ankle, and bails out the window of her second storey room. She hits the ground in a roll and comes up running off into the night at a speed that most cars would struggle to match.
As Grace reviews the information in the cipher, her look of disgust and disappointment at another traitor is almost comically exaggerated. "Bullshit," she mumbles. She leans back, thinking for a moment. Yeah. Yeah, that's her next step. Maybe the Malleus Maleficarum has been too lax. Maybe the Inquisition has. Doesn't matter. People are going to remember why they should be afraid. They're going to be afraid. If not of the Witch Hunters, the Inquisition, then her. It doesn't matter, either way.
She marks down the relevant data and gears up. What a fun chat this will be!
Grace would shortly receive a text message. 'I have information regarding Cassandra's capture, and a proposition to offer, if either interests you. We can meet on Solomon island, at your leisure.'
Once he's set back up, Ash intends to see to R7--the job of taking care of him seems to have fallen to her, at least for now. Familiar with computers, she believes that appealing to a desire to be useful and continue living will take them far.
She wants to ask about Bang, the woman who brought him back and upgraded him.
About Malleus Maleficarum, and their involvement.
About any other big names to Dawnbreak that people working against this may not know.
About R7's upgrades--making a specific point to learn about, and possibly look for, an approximately football-sized black box that Sarah Willis told her about.
And finally, about R7 himself. Likely scared of being scrapped once again, offering him some kindness and looking for a way to keep him useful seems only fair.
Mother Ashleigh, huh... The words had been echoing through her head ever since she heard them. She still didn't know how to feel about it. How legitimate the sentiment was, or even entirely what it meant. But it sounded like a sign of trust, and R7 seemed to even consider it a form of love... it was only fair that she treat him right for now.
Jericho Blake goes to Eye databases to find out all he can about Elle St. Clair. Particularly known capabilities, contact information, what kind of jobs she's working on, and known contacts.
Elle St. Clair is perfectly fine at combat - she's never failed her exams, never failed a mission due to not being competent. But her power is in her face, her hips, her voice. When the Eye needs a honeypot, she's usually one of the first numbers they call. She deals with the ugly underworld, and she does it quite well. She seems to be happy at her current rank; management doesn't seem her thing. Blake manages to get an address and a schedule without too much trouble.
Edith reviews materials and information as its released preparing for her next session. From her first session is was obvious the implanted persona was even more susceptible to disruption through controlled reality alteration than she feared. It also greatly feared dissolution. She could use both against it. The question remained how much of the persona was actually King and not Cassandra's fractured psyche supporting a belief that it was. She made notes and plans.
Russell would be looking into Arlene Barossa, using his contacts in the MM and Temple Hall's bureaucracy. As soon as he gets information on her, he'd be heading out to her location to have a nice chat with her.
Also, the minute he'd finished his interrogation, he'd have gotten the word out to the relevant parties. First the Council, since he's right fucking there, then Temple Hall, and... well, the Toobox, and his contacts in the Dragon.
