Guardian H.Q

Stomper, Marathon, Funkie Junkie and Psy spend some time running searches on the Shadows on the Guardians database, but find nothing new, much to their frustration. If there IS anything in this case the database can help with, it isn€™t the Shadows.

Police station

Blur sneaks into the police station and soon find O€™Hara€™s office. She€™s not in at the moment, so he sneaks in and stands perfectly still next to the filing cabinet and vanishes, waiting for the perfect chance to surprise O€™Hara. After a while, she comes in, and opens a cupboard in the wall, placing some boxes of forms there, and then leaves before Blur can move. Much to his distress, he hears the lock click, and O€™Hara€™s voice telling someone that she€™s off for the day. In a panic, he knocks on the door, but no-one hears. It€™s a long night for Blur, and the only thing that cheers him up is the discovery that O€™Hara left a bar of fruit€™n€™nut chocolate and a packet of crisps in her desk draw.

Blur can perform no actions until the next morning in game time. However, the sneaking around was good practise. Blur€™s proficiency up 5 points.

Aces

Mephistopheles goes back into Aces, and finds Hewlit still there. Instead of the staring contest last time, he sits opposite Hewlit.

€œI wondered how long it would take one of you guys to notice me,€ he says, as Mephistopheles sits down, pulling out a cigar and lighting it. Hewlit then grins, and his skin flashes blue as he breathes cold vapour over the cigar, extinguishing it. Mephistopheles looks sorrowfully at the soggy cigar, before pulling out another.
€œHere, let me,€ Hewlit says, touching the end of the cigar with his finger, which flashes red, causing the cigar to light up. Hewlit seems unharmed.

€œIf you€™re done showing off,€ Mephistopheles says, €œI want to talk to you.€
€œWhat makes you think I want to talk to you?€ Hewlit responds.
Mephistopheles replies by heating up Hewlit€™s wheelchair. Hewlit responds by flashing blue and cooling down his own wheelchair. Stalemate. Hewlit sighs.
€œOK, it seems you€™re not too bright. Give me money, I will give you information, capiche?€
€œI want to know everything you know about the Shadows, and night crystals,€ Mephistopheles replies, handing over 40 EU dollars. Hewlit looks surprised at the amount of money in his hand, and Mephistopheles thinks that maybe he wasn€™t expecting that much. Still, it€™s too late as the money soon vanishes into a pocket.

€œI don€™t know much about night crystals,€ he says at last. €œI heard they could be used as a power source, but it€™s not widely advertised. And, no, I don€™t know the specifics. It was something I overheard while€¦ Occupied by something else.€
Hewlit won€™t go any further on that subject, so the topic is changed to the Shadows.
€œThey move around a lot,€ Hewlit says. €œRandom searching won€™t find them, but maybe you don€™t need to look. I heard a big deal was going down at twelve tomorrow afternoon, in Misty€™s garage.€
€œNever heard of it.€
€œYou wouldn€™t have, it shut down not long after it opened up. The usual drill, bad placement, incompetent owner, didn€™t properly research the market. However, the Shadows have been known to hang out there from time to time.€

Sorry Scott and Martyn, you posted while I was nearly done with the update. If it helps, the internet wouldnt have had any new info on it anyway.

[steven_mcg]

The Guardians

I vote we all go to HQ and listen to what Mephistopheles has found out.

Also, until the meeting rolls around tomorrow afternoon, whos up for a little training?

[alex_holt]

The Guardians

Return to HQ to inform people, I think everyone else should consider going to Mistys garage tomorrow. Maybe we can have some fun. But I think the sneaky types will be needed at the least.

[team_britespark]

The Guardians

Someone come to the police station and break me out!! LOL!!!

[swiss_tony]

The Guardians

Im for a meeting as well.

[scott]

The Guardians

Ill come and unlock the door for Dan, then go for a meeting and some training. Also, itd be a good idea for Dan to go to the garage tomorrow, but try not to get locked in again!

[team_britespark]

The Guardians

If I can be freed, I will go to the garage.

[martyn]

The Guardians

Psy will stay at the HQ and do some training

[pcbore]

The Guardians

Dan cant be freed because your characters dont know hes trapped. While you can see whats happening to the other characters, you cant act on it until your own character has found out. If you try to cheat anyway, be warned, I will find new and inventive ways of screwing you over:wink:

As everyone has decided on an action, I can start the update early.

[team_britespark]

The Guardians

Wont Psy know Im trapped?

Guardian H.Q

Mephistopheles arrives, and finds Psy, Funkie Junkie and Marathon waiting for him. He tells them all that he learned from Jerry Hewlit. The day is coming to a close, so there€™s not much more that can be done. Mephistopheles is tired from all his walking, and so goes straight to bed after the meeting. Stomper gets something to eat, then also goes to bed. The other three decide to do some training before retiring for the night.

Marathons proficiency up by 1.
Psy€™s proficiency up by 4
Funkie Junkie€™s proficiency up by 4

Guardian H.Q

Next day, the five remaining start looking for Blur. They weren€™t too worried the previous night as they thought he was busy proving his worth to O€™Hara, but it seems he hasn€™t come back. They decide to start their search for Blur at the police station.

Police station

The only place to lay down and sleep was O€™Hara€™s desk. Blur finds himself rudely awakened when O€™Hara comes in for the morning shift, and rolls him off. He blearily opens his eyes, and sees O€™Hara staring down at him with a pretty intimidating €œYou€™ve got a lot of explaining to do€ expression. The best he can manage is a sheepish grin and a €œHi€.

The rest of the Guardians come in via the front door just as Blur is being dragged through to the lobby by his ear.
€œI think this is yours,€ O€™Hara says, pushing Blur towards them.

Reunited again, it€™s time to plan your next action.
