In my brief absence, no reports were filed by the “team”. From what I can gather, there have been a few outings:
Guardians of St Bernard
Delbert and Gus prevented relics from the Church of St Bernard falling into the hands of members of Les Trieze Corbins. While Dimitri has been somewhat cagey as to what exactly has been retrieved, I suspect he and Gus are up to something. Also, there is a gargoyle after taking up residence at the end of the entrance hall.
Beating Heart
The Chief tasked the team with investigating an unlikely streak of good fortune experienced by Captain William Rock. After discovering sandmen had interfered with his heart replacement device, they infiltrated VentureCorp’s HQ, Venture Tower. Therein they killed both the surgeon who had been installing the devices as wall as a fraal who we suspect was the device’s creator.
Distant Signals
During the above assignment, the team took a minor detour to deliver some equipment to a movie set.
Dire Wavelengths
Due to an outside influence, the team intercepted an actress to prevent her attending filming. A news report later confirmed that the lighting equipment on set had been sabotaged and her attendance would likely have resulted in her being injured or worse.
A Head for Business
The Chief assigned me as mission lead to investigate the failed hijacking of Flight 315. While I will file a separate report in detail, the summary is as follows:
- A joint coverup operation by the FBI and CDC to hide sandmen presence and prevent any spread of nanite infection.
- Knockoff sandmen needler-pistols being drip-fed into the blackmarket by Karuo Ogura.
- The team protected Ogura from a squad of sandmen and took him into protective custody
- Ogura was in possession of a partially preserved sandmen head, which is the Institute has secured for study.
