The team had made it to King’s estate and were prepared to force their way in. Wade and Janus, Reg’s friends from the SAS, had offered to deal with the guard patrols if the group could make their way through the door guards. The team agreed and, after Dillon had bypassed the security systems, waited for the signal from Janus that they could make their run. They weren’t sure what that signal would be, but when a large portion of the forest lit up and the shockwave from a good sized explosion hit them, they all took that to be the sign. Reg just chuckled.

The team awaited Sarah’s response to the proposal by Oz. Sarah herself was visibly shocked. She knew Oz better than anyone and had no doubts he’d stolen the ring. It also didn’t bother her in the least. She wanted with all her being to say yes, but instead:
“I can’t right now Oz, and neither can you.”

Having learned through Dorian and Paul that there was a strong connection with the local University campus, the group prepared to head in that direction. The person they were looking for wasn’t hard to find for Dorian with some help. Some public school records and newspaper pieces were all it took to learn that the boy they were looking for was part of the local LARP group and the group spent time at a local coffee shop. It was a start and they took it. Before they left, they all ate some breakfast, and their expectation of some kind of strange paste on their plate (or worse) from Comp…errr…Lupin in the kitchenette was blown aside by the amazing spread he put in front of them. No one was without their favorite dish, some of which had been secret pleasures never discussed openly, much less around Lupin. No one left the room unhappy.

As several members of the group wandered or spoke in different areas, David (Mutegi having told everyone to call him that) walked down the stairs and stepped around a dark skinned man he though was familiar. The man turned back and started to ask questions and David narrowed confirmed his suspicions; this was Compwelupon, who Mutegi had called Comp. Lupon, as David addressed him since no one other than Mutegi called him Comp, was trying hard to find Sarah, and very much struggling. David escorted the man up the stairs to the room. In the interim, a woman wearing clothing marking her tradition long before she ever told them presented herself. She was named Olympia and had been sent to help them. Her teacher Charles Wilsh, an old acquaintance of some of the cabal, had thought this would give her a chance to sink or swim with her magic, though he might not have put it so bluntly. Her discussions of blood and lifeforce in magic were enough for most to recognize her tradition as Verbena before David and Lupon returned. While Lupon had a hard time getting into the room initially due to Hearth rules, he was eventually able to make his way inside. He and Sarah vanished into a room almost immediately, Paul pulling it up on the monitor for a time before Lupon converted the image to an animated one. Paul still watched, even more entertained than he had been before.

The team had returned to New York and was giving their debrief, a daylight event the last time, it was returned to night time to accommodate Philip. His daytime form of narcolepsy prevented functional meetings during the morning hours, supported by his inability to stay awake at the last morning meeting. Cristiana was not at all upset by the more nocturnal approach and the rest of the team spent more time working at night than during the day anyway.
At the meeting, the group discussed what had happened with Cyrus and started to discuss the nature of the Shadow Broker himself. Reverend Robert went so far as to suggest the Shadow Broker didn’t actually exist. When others started thinking that idea had enough merit to investigate Cyrus shut down the rumor. He admitted, with great unhappiness, that his sire been the original Shadow Broker, and probably still the current. He admitted that it was possible the torch had been passed, so to speak, and that he knew very little else that was of any relevance. He stressed that no one was to utter a word about his relationship with the Shadow Broker, or there would be severe consequences and not from Cyrus. He refused to move forward until everyone had agreed, and then they moved the discussion to Florida.
