A Favor for Myriad

• Max summons the Raptors in the Fort to the war room
• Myriad enters and pitches a deal
• Caterina Berrett was one of Mr. Smith's apprentices

  • Farwatch will find it sooner or later
  • Likely has further evidence of Caterina's research, possibly more test subjects
• We extrapolate that you will be traveling beyond Earth
• Most worlds do not have electronic information networks
• Draco will need a body. Otherwise they will have to always remain inside one of your minds
• Will trade airfield intel for access to the research and development you find
• Airfield intel
  • Need to neutralize security in the tower
  • Then search hangar for access to the foundry
  • Should be a hidden elevator
