Team: Delly (Cael), Fonn (Dragon), Ikhilzis (BLANK), Lae'eni (BLANK), Lottie (Basil), Smokes (Aune), Ulthane (BLANK), Zenovi (BLANK)

The team began Sweep/Protect/Neutralize at Green Boarman HQ, both on the Grid and in the Swift. On the Grid, Delly and Fonn found and neutralized several undead humans. You also rescued Shawn Brady, a Human geek. RJ recognized Shawn. In the Swift, Smokes and Lottie infiltrated the Swift Hold and explored extensively. You found no signs of necromancy, chronomancy, or Violet Creep. You did finally arouse suspicion and were attacked by ICE. On the Grid, Fonn unlocked a memory bead that revealed more about Felicia Bergen's slide into opioid addiction.

Details

• Alpha: Fonn
• Beta: Smokes

• (Lottie): ooc we have 3 hrs before the violet creep is released if we are still in dungeon or haven't found another method of containment
• Hot Objectives
  • Investigate Felicia's violence at Green Boarman.
  • Investigate how the violet creep is involved.
• Fonn Razorenth: Fonn nods to Delly, no longer blank. She looks over the blueprints critically. At one point, Fonn makes a disapproving hum. "Some of these cameras could be placed more efficently. They went for quantity over quality, as it were."
• Delly (Delsari Orist Nym Galadant): "Heh. There's a saying from my peopl- never correct the enemy when he's dong something stupid." She grins.
• Topi "Smokes" Smokeclaw: C: "I think we're going to be ... computer data. Things. I believe I shall beep convincingly."
• Lottie: C: "Yes, I have learned these computers from Lizette. I find it difficult to comprehend but I will try my best to perform this beeping.
• Delly (Delsari Orist Nym Galadant): "It's like when I faked being an officer of the British Navy that one time. Remember, keep your lies simple."
• Fonn Razorenth: Fonn nods solemnly. "Out of curiosity, did you get caught?"
• Delly (Delsari Orist Nym Galadant): Delly's grin widens a little. "We had to make an abrupt withdrawl, but I got what I needed and they didn't catch me.... they shot me a little though," she admits. "Not my worst exit ever by far."
• Lottie: C: "I believe she described it to me like it was a pigeon being sent with a message through , however, such communications I could not trust. Humans are much better messagers and do not so readily give up important information when their path is interupted by sharks."
• Fonn Razorenth: "Ah, I had an experience like that once. I wore a maid outfit at a fancy ball and managed to hear things from people I shouldn't. Unfortunately, the head maid caught me," Fonn smiles slightly. "However she was not a combatant."
• Topi "Smokes" Smokeclaw: "C: I think my goal is simply to persuade him that we are both viable and necessary; do you happen to have a sticker, Lottie Dear?
• Topi "Smokes" Smokeclaw is lately, in the Swift... standing a little taller. Prim, proper; her claws and teeth gleam - and a crown of mairgolds weaves its way among her horns and along her clothin down to her left hand. There is a scent of oak and earth about her.
• Lottie: C: "I am afraid not, would you be able to achieve the same ends with a bandage?"
• Topi "Smokes" Smokeclaw: "C: ... that may actually even be *better*. Follow my lead?
• Fonn Razorenth: Fonn reaches into the depths of her cloak and pulls out a slightly bigger than average chess piece. She puts it in the corner facing the entrance door outside, nestled in a crevice so it won't be jostled by weather. Fonn taps something on her P3 and it turns the same color as the wall outside. Then, she smiles, and moves on.
• Delly (Delsari Orist Nym Galadant): "Smokes, you are terrifying. Well done, madam."
• Topi "Smokes" Smokeclaw: "Thank you very much. I'm surprised that work, to be honest."
• Fonn Razorenth: When Fonn sneaks, she seems to tense and relax at the same time. Her movements are purposful, yet fluid. Her eyes move around the room slowly, keeping track of everything, however it's without any hint of nervousness. When she makes it to her destination, Fonn presses against the nearest wall/cover and keeps a hand on it to steady herself.
• Shawn Brady is a white Human geek (he/him). He's wearing a rust red sweater, corduroy slacks, and Converse. He's also got a canvas messenger bag and a chunky pair of high-end headphones. Shawn usually carries himself with buoyant enthusiasm and a ready smile.
• Topi "Smokes" Smokeclaw: "C: Dear Delly, Dear Fonn - if you require our assistance, we have, or will soon have, access to the elevators, doors, and cameras. I am uncertain what we can do with that, but it is less meaningful than the additional swift nodes here. We may have just achieved a certain deep access to the environment, as well.
• Delly (Delsari Orist Nym Galadant): Delly, for a moment, resembles the cat whose grace she pursues- her bristling threat is enough distraction to let Fonn slip through, a deadlysliver of shadow.
• Lottie: "Felicia, we have found a survivor. I hope for more."
• Fonn Razorenth: Fonn silently fistpumps. While helping the city for Oma Janda, Max had made an off-hand comment about XCOM and she'd researched it out of curiosity. Earth culture was fascinating.
• Topi "Smokes" Smokeclaw: "C: I believe we have unfettered access to all areas of the Fortress at this point. We have accomplished this with minimal violence - but the spiritual 'contagion' of the gloom really seems to only exist around the place rather than in it. Given the necromancy you're facing, it is a strange juxtoposition.
• Fonn Razorenth: "C: That's odd. Thank you for reporting. I suspect there may be something on the second level that has answers."
• Delly (Delsari Orist Nym Galadant): There's no fear, to Delly, even if she's outnumbered- that wild song is... joyful, not in the violence, but in herself and her own prowess.
• Delly (Delsari Orist Nym Galadant): The blo looks like it might SLAM into Delly- but there's a snarling note to the song, and in a magically assisted motion so quick the eye can't follow, she parries the blow. The aura arod her blazes triumph and challenge. Delly grins, all white teeth and canines and golden eyes gleaming in the dim like stars.
• Topi "Smokes" Smokeclaw ... was /rediculous/ for a moment. She produced a bit of ameythist, holding it up to her eye to look through it at the foreman; a handful of whispered words in Sylvan.. then she... threw a bit of that string-confetti they use on cruise ships at it? It glimmers. Vanishes. Aaaand.. nothing happens.
• Topi "Smokes" Smokeclaw: "C: *bloody stupid WHY you idiotic.. did I say it wrong?* AAARGH.
