The Meeting (Kai West Az Circe)
|
   |
|
"Come with me", the Arrowhead lieutenant says gruffly, like a badly cliched strongman as the car doors pop open.
And Dex turns, leading them into the building.

West motions for Azrael and Circe to come with them, as he weaves the fabric of Time into a shield which he drapes over them, as well as Kai and himself.

Dex grunts his response.
"Those aren't our people."
At the back of the ground floor there is a service elevator. Dex steps in and hits the button for the top floor.

West shrugs, unsurprised. Apparently something had the Arrows of Sacramento spooked enough to 'turle up'.
He leaned over, murmering to Kai, "Remember what Uriel used to say? 'Shoot first, and let a Moros sort 'em out...'." _________________ Dog: Protean 1

Dex actually laughs a little when he hears your joke.
Sticking his hand out to keep the elevator door open he asks, "Coming up?"

The elevator grinds its way towards the top floor.
When it arrives, the door slides open and leads to a short hallway with a concrete floor.
At the end of the hall, a door is marked: Roof Access.

The door opens up to the blinding light of day, and then then their vision focuses onto the greenhouse structure.
Feel that rush, like fresh air. REAL fresh air, more pure than you ever experienced before you Woke Up.
It didn't look it, but this is one hell of a Hallow.

The door opens and Dex ushers you in. By this time in their careers, pocket spaces no longer surprise West and Kai. Azrael and Circe are a little overwhelmed.
Not too many of the Arrows are in the sanctum, but the place is full of equipment. Mundane electronics, a couple of files, weapon racks, barrack cots, and a small television.
And there is Armadia.
"I need to talk to you about what you've been doing the past couple of days."

West shrugs. He's been shrugging a lot since he's been in Sacramento. "Sure, what's up?" _________________ Dog: Protean 1

"Guys, remember that call you gave me? Inhumans in Sacramento, right? At the time I thought to myself, la dee freakin' da, tell me something I don't know."
"Then you guys decided to make contact. Contact guys. Unauthorized. We might've been able to keep this swept under the rug, but at some point that you were out there a Guardian operative spotted your asses."
"So what we need to talk about is what comes next. Who and what were you guys talking to, how much did you tell them, and how much do you trust them. Start talking, and don't leave anything out."

"You now have TWO meetings with us that have been compromised, and you are complaining WE made contact? Unfortunately, it seems in this city there is no way NOT to make contact. And as for information, I wouldn't tell anyone anything, and I may have an in with the vampires. And I think that's as much as you need to know, Warden." _________________ ________________________

"So you didn't tell ANY of these freaks that there are Mages in town? None of them know anything about us?" Armadia asks you directly. The look on her face says no bullshit like no other look could.

West shrugs. Again. "Yep. Perhaps if you had told us what we were dealing with, or contact protocols, we wouldn't be having this conversation. You had plenty of opportunity to tell me anything you wanted when I called, instead of thinking 'la dee da'. So this 'holier-than-thou' attitude isn't playing very well. Cut to the chase: what do you want to talk about?" _________________ Dog: Protean 1

Or does it come as a surprise to you they can spot us too? At least some of them. You may need to become better acquainted with your surroundings. _________________ ________________________

"Fuck."
Armadia's clearly got to think this one over.
"Fuck it all!"
"Listen guys, not your fault. Normally this kind of shit wouldn't happen, but everyone's spooked the hell out right now. I hoped you guys would have known better than to tell a bunch of monsters about us, but I wasn't there so I don't know how things went down. Somebody made the call from on high, contact with the freaks is forbidden, sharing secrets a breach of the Mystery. Of course, the same asshole forgot to tell everyone else."

"Listen, I'm done with my jabs at you. Please drop the idea that you are any more in control than any of us. We are all floundering. Since I couldn't track the resonance, I went out exploring Sacramento. And it just so happens one of the leeches crossed my path. A nice guy actually, and picked me out in an instant. I'm not going to discount my sources out of fear, especially when we don't know what the hell is doing this in the first place.
Now, there were 5 guys that saw us coming this time, and a mage who picked us out the first time. I have to tell you, I'm a hell of a lot more worried about other mages than vampires.
As for not talking to them, we can stand in a corner and act like they wont figure out what we are eventually, or we can try to make allies, even shallow allies, until we know that the hell we are fighting. You should read Sun Tsu's Art of War."
