A stake-out sees a roaming gang leave the House and a plan is concocted to intercept their return. As with most plans having an improvised portion, the situation goes awry when Elza tries to […]

The acolytes investigating possible heretical surgical modifications have been equipped with a bio-sensor that when in the presence of anomalous tissue 'whines with increasing volume'.

Local investigations are gathering plenty of circumstantial evidence but nothing some of the acolytes consider concrete enough to start being more aggressive in their pursuit of information.

Lionus leaves the Worker's Union with companion acolyte Garvel Wroth but no information, the pair of them making their way to where the other two members of their investigative team are pursuing a second lead.
