In the middle of the night, some Raptors are awakened by Lex and Brother Iron. The fae and druid ask the heroes to investigate a trespass in an abandoned, secret lab. In the lab, the heroes defeat several elemental myrmidons. They also meet Sarii Hornwood, a goblin tynker from Sigil.

== A Late Night Request ==
* This episode takes place after RB 3-17: Strategic Update & Escorting Olbenym but before RB 4-1: Petitioning the Council
* The team escorted Olbenym to Washington, DC on Wed, Jan 3
* The returned from DC via Bron

* Draco wakes Jane, Cyrus, Cadeos, and Haelra, via the Chain
* Met by Brother Iron and Lex in common room; they need a favor
* Jane Irwin: Jane starts to get her boots on. Stygi chirrups at Brother Iron happily.
* Cadeos: wipes his face with a towel and reshuffles his robes a little, getting them into place

* Lex explains
* Project Stratonix
** An old Rational Ascendancy project:
** 1943, during World War II
** Intense air war, both Europe and the Pacific
** RA built a Turing machine in a secret lab under Lake Michigan
** It was designed to predict the weather
** The power source was experimental elemental batteries, that is, elementals trapped in batteries

* In December 13, 1944, there was an explosion which wiped out the lab
* Jane Irwin: Jane tries to school her features into neutrality, but kind of fails. Freaking figures.
* Jane Irwin: in the Chain: God fucking bless.

* The lab wasn't destroyed
** The Order of One Terra and the Winter Court learned that the project was secretly using the Axis of Elusive Truths
** They were using the Axis to imprison elementals and enslave them in an attempt to predict, influence, or even control the weather
** One Terra and the Court collaborated to secretly relocate the lab, under the cover an explosion
** We freed the elementals and destroyed the research
** The lab's been kept sealed and guarded ever since

* However, someone has teleported into in the lab
* They shouldn't have been able to do that, because of fairy and druid magic

* Lex loans the team small metal Whistles of Teleportation keyed to the lab
* The team gears up and prepares to teleport into the lab
* Haelra Vayn: Haelra has a flask full of the blackest tea ever created on earth that smells terrible but she drinks casually

== The Lab Under the Lake ==

* DM: > Lab is musty and moldy. Ceiling leaks
* DM: > Recessed lights are on and humming
* DM: > Perimeter magic is still active
* DM: > Runes are powerful Conjuration and Divination
* DM: > Cy cautions team to protect whistles
* The team starts carefully sweeping the lab
* They get strange readings from their various Unbound senses
* DM: > Fae have been monitoring lab. Last visit: Sep 2017

* DM: > Stygi says conference room smells like old mud
* The team finds a large stone humanoid inert on a conference table
* DM: > Water elemental myrmidon smashes open the doors and attacks (alerted by Draco bashing a chunk of wall out, accidentally)
* During the fight, Jane summons two giant octopuses
* The heroes notice a small, invisible creature, which turns out to be a robot
* DM: > Elemental was in a state of half-life, and Haelra's spell liberated it from the Prime

* The heroes question the robot
* The robot is Sarii Hornwood, Free League tynker
* Female goblin artificer

* Sarii's Story
** Tynker from Sigil
** "I discovered the Hornwood Equation. I'm kinda a big deal."
** "My team and I used the Axis of Elusive Truths to project my consciousness into this lab, plus a robot body."
** "We're trying to find a viable vertex through the Maelstrom."
** "We needed more calculating power."
** "You people are really good at building calculators."
** "I was copying the designs to build a duplicate in Sigil."
** "I couldn't figure out how part of the calculator worked, so I turned it on and tried running some calculations. I think, uh, I think when I turned it on, that reactivated some of the guards."
* "So, I, uh, I hid."

* DM: > The octpus is occasionally poking the pile of mud and stone suspiciously
* Jane Irwin: Jane, in the Chain: I kinda think we should help her. If she's trying to fix what's fucked, well, seems mostly legit...?

* The team decides to clear out the remaining elemental myrmidons and help Sarii
* Much of the lab is abandoned
* They find two myrmidons in the main lab space, in front of the Turing machine
* DM: > Water myrmidon half-way up the wall, using its trident to bash a hole through the ceiling
* DM: > Earth myrmidon is just smashing things in anger
* Sarii mutters. "The calculator didn't even work. I think the batteries are dead."
* DM: > Myrmidons may be proto-adintech: necromancy used to trap the elementals in physical shells on the Prime

* The team, including the giant octopuses, fights the myrmidons
* Cyrus first fights as a giant ape
* The team triumphs
* The elementals seem grateful to be released

* Sarii: > Finishes her notes on the calculator
* Sarii: > Recommends visiting the Temple of Apollo if you're searching for shrine space
* Sarii departs, taking her robot body with her

* The team finishes their sweep of the lab and teleports back to the Fort
