AFTER THE BATTLE
Jalpari investigates.
Rivet interrogates.
Joe carries all the unconscious thugs to the airstrip.
Jalpari … Principle of Mastery … 9! Complete Success.
Electromagnetics from shack … being used as a staging area for the ambush. Plans laid out, map of the area.
Rivet … interrogating … guy has cybernetics made of metal! Threatens …
Were supposed to ambush, and take to the labs – any useful traits to extract.
Where? Downtown, in the sewers. Doctor at the lab. After pressure, describes someone.
And, threatens to not be bugged by him again.
Jalpari … discover a couple of intersting things. Phone calls from City Central Hotel. The eldritch horror hotel place. “Take the girl and hand her to the doctor.” Fractal?!
Check out the lab and rescue the girl?
Check out the hotel?
Yeah, everyone is fine with that … even Rivet, with encouragement as to what “heroes” and “human beings” would do.
