"It is hard to know with the old Seer being who he was thought I suspect books on prophesies."
Flora said as she carefully lead the way down some steep steps and into an old basement. Most of the doors was marked as storage, a basement den for the employees, where soft TV sounds came from, and an laundry but there was one door, this one was original while the other doors was new. The old door was carved with lily motives, oak dark with age and there was a key hole hidden among all the carvings.
"Well this is it."
Flora said.
"You are welcome to see if your key fit young man, I admit to being rather curious myself, no matter how hard we have tried this door have remained locked. I can't wait to tell my mother about this...she is visiting from Earth."

"Here we go. Everyone stand back. Who knows what sorts of prophetic wisdom he stashed away here. The very air itself could be from the future!" Serge said as he approached the door key in hand.

He slowly, and perhaps a bit too slowly for dramatic effect, placed the Lily Key into the Lily Oak door and attempted to unlock it excited to see what was behind the room that had been locked for countless years.

Colin grinned, "I will - and I will do my best to obfuscate your present location as I do."

"I appreciate that my friend."
Dalisse replied.

His expression darkened, "Never mind the danger of the slumbering ones, this vampire sadist that's working with your boss... is he by any chance a doctor?"

The prisoner did not reply he just looked at you.

He slowly, and perhaps a bit too slowly for dramatic effect, placed the Lily Key into the Lily Oak door and attempted to unlock it excited to see what was behind the room that had been locked for countless years.

The other two took a step back. The key fit perfectly into the lack on the ornate door and the door could then be pushed open once you had turned the key. The air beyond did not smell stale, it smelled fresh. You saw a comfortable chamber. In one corner was a bed of slik pillows in all sort of shapes and colors and next to it stood a brazier. A shelf held bottles, jars, creams, pipes and other tools to achieve an altered state, and so many neatly filed herbs and incenses. Another shelf held books and several divination tools, you saw an large obsidian ball, some Y rods and other tools, as well as about 30 books. There was a desk of rose wood and on it where a large book. There was a plate of cut fruit which still looked fresh and a goblet of wine and a bottle, in the center of the room was a large, silver bowl filled with water. The room was in a bit of gloom though, only light from the hallway filled it but there was candles in holders at regular intervals which could be lit. A painting of what had to be the First Cabal hung over the desk. Amadeus gave a whistle.
"Damn the Seer's scrying chamber."
He whispered and Flora glanced in the room in obvious awe.
"W...where did you get that key kid? Who are you?"
She whispered and she seamed to be in shock. Both mages seamed to think this was a situation where one would whisper and not speak loudly as if the place deserved some reverence.
"It have been preserved in time."
Fora muttered.
"It look like the Seer just stepped out, look the brazier are even still warm."
You could see faint smile rising from the dying charcoal of the brass bowl on tripod legs near the comfortable pile of colorful pillows.

Serge silently stepped into the room, holding the same level of reverence as his two companions. He gazed around at the slice of history that had been carefully preserved in this room. He imagined the old Seer, just as he appeared in his memories, roaming around the room and using it's various tools in his day to day rituals.

"This..is...amazing!" he finally said excitedly so enamored by the room that he neglected Flora's question. "These books. These tools. This food. They've all been untouched for who knows how long! Untainted and unblemished. Preserved from a different era of magick. Who knows what sorts wisdom is laying here waiting to be discovered! Ancient Spells and Recording of Visions yet to come."

[After lunch Meeting with the Admiral]

The prisoner did not reply he just looked at you.

Colin grumbled as he skimmed through the vision, trying to find a clearer idea of the forces the Goth lady had gathered, and when exactly they were planning to strike, and a glimpse of the vampire in question, "Hum, Admiral... permission to ask Dalisse to reinforce the defenses tomorrow? Having this ship fly without being magically detectable could greatly shift the odds in our favour, if there are multiple battlecruisers coming our way..."

"Well we do know how long this have been abandoned, around summer in 1470 though the room could have been used all up until the autumn of the same year."
Flora said still in a whisper.
"Perhaps the open book on the desk will tell us for sure."
She said and pointed as she went over to the book shelf to look at it as Amadeus checked on the herbs in the shelf.
"By the way your name was Serge Yager was it?"
Flora asked.
"If so I believe we are relatives...well in a magickal lineage term. My mother and Mentor is named Marybeth Simon Adebisi and she was trained by Master Babu who I think also trained your Mentor...if I do not get my lineage wrong."
She said making calculations on her fingers.
"So our Mentors are magickal siblings so we are cousins then."
She added with a warm smile.

A moment's hesitation as she considered all this. 'Can't you put a plainclothes [officer] on it? I suck at stealth and are already known.'

"I could but it would take time to change since we are in uniform as there was no assumption we would need to sneak around at the convention."
The chief officer said but the older man he had called over held up a hand.
"Now a problem, I learned this trick..."
He looked embarrassed for a moment.
"Because I was a fan of Gem of the Holograms cartoon show...I am blabbering here."
The older Etherite took a small box out of his pocket, aimed it at himself and pushed a button and he now was wearing civilian clothing, a nice, casual suit and a black turtle neck. He did the same for the other security officer and she was suddenly wearing jeans and a red and orange knitted sweater.
"Now we can sneak after the suspect."
The man said before putting his box away.
"And we should get going."

"Agreed please do so."
Alexis said. You did not get more from the vision it was what it was, you could try again hoping for more but it might be more difficult. The Nephandus just looked at you smugly.

Colin sighed softly, "Well, it would appear you are as ill-informed as any stooge sent after a whole battlecruiser would have to be. Well, you were an expendable minion, and you've been expended..."
He turned toward the door, gesturing for the women to leave, "Unless you have any last words, I hope for your sake the ship starts with eating your head... farewell, perhaps we'll meet again in your next life."

"I was always willing to die for the cause."
The Nephandus said. Alexis looked a little sick but she turned to leave Helena frowned but she did the same. The prisoner did not say anything more as a mouth opened on the side of the store room wall, it had not been there earlier and it looked hungry and it had allot of teeth. The Nephandus made a little squeak and muttered.
"Oh shit!"

Colin shook his head, "The winner is the one who makes the other person die for their cause... bit of a waste, in your case, but at least you were less useless than Diego."
Closing the door behind him, he added, "I'd rather not listen to any more... Farewell."

He sighed, "Alright, back to Dalisse to request she aid the defense tomorrow, and I need to show her a spell of mine to help her avoid tracking..."

You closed the door and screams and happy chewing sounds started issuing from within, apparently the Nephandus was delicious.
"Yes let us go somewhere else."
Helena agreed and she and Alexis started hurrying back to Dalissse, a final scream sounded from the Nephandus and then silence.
"I guess the ship ate something important."
Helena muttered with a shudder.
"Did you get anything useful from what you saw in his past Mr Wainwright?"

Colin nodded, "By the looks of it, the Nephanda Master who attacked us on the way here is the one leading this offensive. There was a meeting, they were discussing the danger of waking the... slumbering ones? The fellow was a largely uninformed stooge sent to, hm, remove you so another Handler could be put into place to serve the Fallen fleet. The result was rather on the predictable side, he was an expendable asset, being expended. And it appears that right bastard Jace is a vampire now, 'assisting' the plot, no doubt entirely to fuel his own thirst for power."
He sighed, "So with Admiral Hastings' permission, would you be willing to come to Concordia's aid tomorrow, when I anticipate a raid coming? I'll show you my cloaking spell, if you like - it will grant a near-perfect concealment from being targeted by any other means than direct line of sight. It should help the the city's defenses tell you apart from other hostiles, as well. Ah... do you have a map of the city at hand, by any chance?"

"I am willing to fight."
Dalisse said with a nod as you and the rest re entered her chambers.
"I would appreciate learning your concealment spell, I have my own defenses but learning something new is useful and it might be better than what I got. I also have no physical map but I know where everything is this close to the Realm I know."
She said with a nod.
"I will lend the strength of my ship to the defense of Horizon that might turn the attackers back, I can not take out several other Battle Cruisers but I can make them hurt."
She added firmly. Helena nodded and the Admiral chimed in.
"Thank you Master Dalisee we owe you one."
Helena said to Colin.
"We should inform my Pater of what you learned, he will not be pleased that bastard Jace is back."
She said with a frown.

Colin nodded, "Hum, a map would be better, so I could point out which path... ah, but you'll already have that in the report, Admiral. Now, Miss Mar, Admiral Hastings, you might find something informative in this, too - call it a freebie for the cause - the Cloak works like this..."

He took out his wand, and quickly went through the underlying principles of the spell, demonstrating it on a few objects in the room, such as a teacup and a saucer, and finally turned to Dalisse, "The size of the ship shouldn't matter, so long as it's a fairly complete surface - it works perfectly fine with terrestrial cars, which was a great convenience when some spirits were tailing us at one point. Id does impede communication - getting a wireless signal through is rather hopeless - but anything line-of-sight will still work."

Afterwards, he turned to Helena, "Now, yes, we need to let your Pater know, but it's not yet confirmed that it is Jace, only very, very probable, given the context. If we cut the snake's head off this time, we might be rid of him for good, with the massassa afterlife prospects..."

Dalisse nodded and the other two also paid attention as you talked about the scrambler and demonstrated it. Helena and the Admiral had seen the scrambler in use but Dalisse tried it out with her elegant, old Hermetic foci, chants and sharp precise hand gestures to see if she could pull it off and she seamed to do well with it and she gave you a warm smile.

"I guess we will be having ourselves a good old fashioned space battle!"
The Admiral chirped.
"But yes we all have superiors who must be informed and warned and hopefully we can sort this mess out tomorrow and like you said cut the head of the snake."

I've only just arrived in Concordia myself. Though I wanted to try and solve the prophecy at this museum first since it was along the way. Glad I did. Didn't expect to find all this."

As his two companions explored, Serge heeded the advice of his newfound magickal cousin and went over to the open book on the desk to see what it said.

He's been sentenced on Horizon, his ghost was torn apart in Boston shortly after, and I interrogated... well, I divined, I should say, that he had his mind implanted in a new body, likely a HIT-Mark, and now he's gone and made himself a vampire. All he ever does is in the pursuit of his own power, he's not even a good Malfean, they're just... means to an end for him. He is the snake whose head must be cut off... but he won't partake in the assault, I'm unfortunately fairly certain of that. He is too clever by half..."

"From my rough translation it says: I am as much of a traitor as my friend and mentor, we are heading out tomorrow and I know what will befall us, worse while Heylel think our Cabalmates will just be captured and then the Traditions will come together in a grand rescue, I know better, we will loose friends and those who survive will be forever marked. I have to let the betrayal happen though even if it cut my heart to pieces and burn my soul to do so. Gilgul, that most foul ritual is the only wya to stop Moloch and the Traditions will not give such a horror to my dear friend just by them asking. Heylel betray in deed but I betray in silence and yet if I did not then I would damn us all to stagnation and fate worse than the one the twins walk into.

Moloch will be ended, for now but it will return and far in the future new sacrifices will have to be made. The one who have cheated death four times think he can control Moloch but he can not and the world will freeze into stasis. But the scarred traveler, my young heir and the knight with a metal arm might stop them. An important piece is coming in an ill timed invasion, if this piece can be destroyed and the whore of Babylon kept from joining forces with the Undying one then the key to salvation is found between that which never grows...and a traitor is to be found in a relative's home."
Amadeus finished and Flora frowned.
"What do that all mean?"

[TimeStop Labs]

Still at TimeStop, sir. We're gonna track the spy and see where they run to. Head towards Proton Electronics - it's a store near the dock, where the teleporter sends people leaving the lab.' giving a little smile at the irony that the protesters were actually being useful - she suspected in a building of this apparent size there would be several exits which the target could have vanished away using...

"I am sure I can find my way."
Jeffry replied over the phone.
"If you are going to track this person do you want me to hang back and not apprehend them at this point?"
The old mage asked wanting to know what Nicole's plan was in this.

[After lunch Meeting with the Admiral]

Colin shook his head, "I am not suggesting to let them through. I am saying I expect them to somehow get a small craft past the defenses and down to ground. One assassin will make it up... but they won't succeed. I have a Primium bullet with their name on it, figuratively speaking..."

"Very well we are going to have to see then, and I get the importance if it, I just can not refrain from doing my duty over glimpses of the future."
Alexis said and Helena nodded but she was still frowning.

He grimaced, "I'm not sure Toby would appreciate that all that much - and I don't think it would be wise to hand out frozen massassa treats to any Awakened Mage..."

"What Jhor slushie not your thing? Well Jhor shaved ice they are not the same but at least it would make Jace very very dead."
Helena replied with just a hint of a smile.
"Though with him I would not trust him not finding some way to escape death."
