### Starting notes:
- If tensions rise, [[Walther Strathmill]] will shoot [[Vesper "Sage" Rowan-Ellis|Vesper/Arden]] in the torso, starting a clock for her death to raise the stakes
- If she dies, [[Arden 'Vixen' Rowan|Arden]] will bail on the body *with* [[Vesper "Sage" Rowan-Ellis|Vesper's]] spirit in tow » new [[Vespbot 'Sage' Rowan-Ellis|Vespbots]] for all!
- If she lives, major wound, and recovery at Scurlock's for the foreseeable future
- [[Arden 'Vixen' Rowan|Arden]] will take a [[Vespbot 'Sage' Rowan-Ellis|Vespbot]] as a body
- [[Vesper "Sage" Rowan-Ellis|Vesper]] will be kept sedated due to the unknown [[Setarra]] risk experienced in [[2025-07-21_S20]]
- [[Vesper "Sage" Rowan-Ellis|Vesper/Arden]] was forcibly questionned by [[Arnsley Buckingham]] about her interactions with his god, hence the injuries » he can sense some lingering aspect of it on her
