I want to understand you." - The entity is pleased with her supplication in this moment. - Crowl/Una goes to fininsh the circle with [[Prowl]] (Risky/Standard » 5, 5, 2, 3) - Success with a consequence » Closes the circle, but not unnoticed - It distracts Vesper for a fraction of a second, and the entity notices - The tendrils hit an invisible wall from the chalk line - Crowl pulls out the echo containment device ([[Finesse]] Risky/Limited » 4, 3, 1, 2, 5) - Vesper flashes back to showing how to use the device, but more on how Crowl can use Una's body (so +1d with [[Foresight (Blades)]]) - Crowl pushes themselves for this - Crowl flips the switches on the containment device, and the shadowy cloud begins to spiral towards into it - But it's stronger than the device, so it lingers and tendrils hook into the air - One tendril lashes out towards Crowl and hits them right between the eyes » subjected to rage, betrayal, fury, centuries of being caged » Level 2 Harm, Psychic Scream (but Crowl attempts to resist, so 3 stress instead) - The last whisps of the entity go into the vessel - They take it back to Lord Scurlock's, handing it off to a Vespbot for processing - Payout » 10 stacks (2 each, 4 to crew) - Rep » +2 - Tithes - [[Red Torque]] » 2+1 = 3 (paid) - [[Leatherbacks]] » 1+1 = 2 (stiff; 1/4 anger clock) - We're gonna kill them off at some point… - Heat: 0 - WE DIDN'T KILL ANYONE, HOLY SMOKES - Narrative Una flashback to [[2025-03-24_S06]]… Una killed the driver. He was in the trunk. - Unwind » Luxury spa day at a sauna - Trouble Engine - Faction Clocks - [[Strelai]] +2 » 4/10 (We have returned, again, to Scurlock's) - Crew Trouble - 6 » Light Trouble - [[Carousel]] calls in a favour from [[Shaw 'Moth' Malvern|Moth]] - Extra information for Scurlock is our called shot - [[New Dawn]] has information on where [[Setarra]] is being kept… they believe she is the Red Queen, a forgotten god - Neighbourhood troubles… neighbourhood unrest thanks to the autodrome bombing… people aren't pleased with having to go through the [[Bluecoats|Bluecoat]] security had ramped up (the no go zone)
