This story revolves around the discovery of a drug with an apparent supernal component. It followed the abduction of the Acanthus [[Miach]] by Banishers, who drugged him unvoluntarily.

Trying to fight his addiction and get even with his enemies, Miach has a personal stake in uncovering the plot behind the drug.

Worried for her friend Miach, the Thyrsus [[Kiko]] followed him into the investigation, trying to help and protect those she holds dear.

Keeping tabs on possible supernal threats, the Moros [[Bishop]] was informed of the drug by his contacts within the police force and decided to investigate.

The Obrimos [[Faith]] stumbled on the investigation when she tried to help a young woman, that was under the influence of the drug and as a result was capable of rudimentary supernal experiences.

The Moroi [[Aurum]] and [[Geist]] joined the trail of the drug by meeting at a party with suppliers. The former was investigating it as a potential threat, the latter out of mere curiosity.

** [{{thread}}27588 Timely Meeting]

What was planned as a step to link up and share findings so far, led to confrontation between [[Faith]] and [[Bishop]] about the proper course of action with the drug. While [[Bishop]], true to the ideal of the Guardians, demanded that any and all quantities be handed over to him for destruction, [[Faith]] outright refused, because their investigation and analysis was not completed. It was agreed upon to meet at a later time after some research was done.

Deviating from the original plan, [[Faith]] called in [[Miach]] and [[Bishop]] on a potential lead for a drug den. Further investigation became a lesson in improvisational undercover work, which allowed [[Faith]] to get on the inside of the drug den and face to face with two dealers. [[Miach]] used the distraction to his advantage and moved through the location, procuring another stash of the drug as well as a phone number. [[Bishop]], being forced to work a little behind the scenes, used his contacts to create an exit strategy for [[Faith]] by calling in the police.
