Sleepwalkers are like Grad Students w/ more self respect Reply with quote
Ruby parks in a temporary spot and whacks her fist gently against the meter as she hurriedly passes,

Master of Machines: Forces 2(3?) Matter 3
03-08 20:11:05 Ruby rolls 5 dice to Gnosis+Forces 2 successes
2,9,8,6,4


and it becomes stuck at 30 minutes of time. She'll have to meet this team and get everyone prepped fairly quickly if they would be trying to find this hidden site, especially on a time crunch.

I maintain that I would have zero personal qualms about committing parking violations and tampering with city equipment, whereas I would totally feel guilty about cursing someone. Then again, I don't believe in the Jesus.

Starling comes out to greet you.
"Get some good rest? Good. I have found you a crew. One is a mage who belongs to the Free Council, and they are more than willing to help because most of the Free Council has tucked tail and bailed. Not that we are doing to much better, but a little. I think you'll find them acceptable. He has 3 assistants, all sleepwalkers. They should be pulling up in our minivan any moment now"

"Thank you Starling that's great news. And I appreciate you guys setting up the van too, you saved me a lot of trouble. You know, I want to apologize, I was so flustered yesterday that I didn't ask how everyone else is holding up. Are we doing OK? I mean, who's still here now?"

"Other than a few initiates helping us make our operation a little bit smaller, its you, me, Phrymides, and Tyria. And Phrymides might get called away. It hasn't been decided yet."
"I told you before, Peter's death was gruesome. And whoever did it left nothing other than an inert virus and a puddle of what used to be Peter. Anyone who can get that far with so little evidence. Even go backwards in time or trying to find some sympathetic connection has failed so far.
Thats why the pentacles are pulling out. Heck, even the arrows aren't gung ho about sending extra support for Undruchmann. If he pulls of getting whoever is responsible, it will be a miracle."

"Rune and Kutya'i are gone as well? But they were called down specifically to deal with this business... it really is that bad, isn't it?" Ruby shakes her head in disbelief, and then laughs. "I know that Tyria is friends with Phrym, but I can't believe that you're keeping her here. I love her to death, but I can't imagine her handling herself well if things got dangerous. Poor girl is such a klutz!"

And then her tone grows serious.

"Starling, there's something I just can't shake about what happened to Peter. That hotel was protected to high heaven, wards and not to mention all those ghosts he kept around. There's no way somebody sneaked in there... Starling, what if the killer was someone Peter knew, someone he trusted? And that's why he was able to get in, to catch Peter off guard, to..."

"How do we know that it isn't one of us? One of the other orders?"

He looks at you straight faced and dead pan "We don't know that it wasn't one of us. Why the hell do you think everyone is so paranoid? In fact, we are pretty sure it is one of us. We just don't know who, or why."

Starling shakes his head.

"What we do know is that a virus reduced Peter to a pile of liquid. We saw that much. But whoever it was cut himself from time and space. You can see it happen, you can see everything, except him, and what we think was an accomplice. "

Ruby wonders sullenly for a moment how she didn't get classified as non-essential personnel.

"Well, I guess I'm just not so eager to jump to suspicion as everybody else. So, who is this mystery person I'll be working with?"

A van pulls up, and 3 men and a woman roll out. All wear identical blue baseball hats with USS Cyclone on them.

None of them have any spells up.

The oldest looking man goes up to Starling. The other three hang back at ease, but all looking around, keeping their eyes peeled.

"Are you Starling?" the old man asks.

Starling nods at you and puts his hand out.
"You must be the Captain. It's good to meet you. I'm glad the the Free Council has made you available for this expedition. This is Ruby. She will be the point on this, and if she can't answer your questions, please feel free to call."

"You have the equipment you will need in the Van. I think its just going to be a matter of poking and prodding around on the site. Let me know what you come up with."

"Howdy Captain. My name's Ruby, I don't suppose there's anything aside from Captain I might call you? Anyway, I've been working on some of these digs now for, let's see, few weeks now? You ever done any archaeology, Captain? Doesn't matter, I'm sure you'll pick it up quick regardless. You like to pack up the car sooner or later?"

The captain quirks and eyebrow at this very young woman who is his point.

"No time like the present ma'am. All of us are working on this project. This is Ensign ( 30s woman) Leftenant (40s man) and Commander (40s man)." They all do a nice smile, and then go back to impassive faces.

Captain gets in the driver's seat, Ruby sits in the front passenger, and the crew sit in back.

"Navi, give us a heading please." Captain says.

"So, where are y'all coming from? I'm in from Dallas, been here what, near on three months now. Course, it only went cuckoo this past few weeks." These people seem to take this military theme pretty seriously, Ruby wonders whether they really hold rank in the armed forces. "Now, are y'all helping with the dig? Or is this an escort sort of deal? Didn't get much from the folks on high about where you're specialties lie."
