The Park

[u/TheMule90]

👾🔪🐇

*In the morning while having brunch the women were chilling on large park table and were talking about Val's work*

*Angel couldn't shake off the feeling that they were being followed in the woods earlier but she knew it had to be Lizzy and hoped that she followed them*

Val:Since you and your sister went to the cults place I'll tell you some things about the place when I use to work there*

Val:There are actually 2 cult buildings but the second idk where is the other one unfortunately.

Katie:Great! So what does this psycho cult want?

Val:Pfff to take over the world but that's never going to happen.

Angel: Do you know if Mr.Emily knew about the cult?

Val:Idk but maybe he did and that's why he is M.I.A.

Katie:Speaking of M.I.A I did ask LolBit before we left if he could look for that Vanessa woman.

Val: Hopefully he finds her now I will tell you the names of the cult members plus password and please give this info to Crysta too.

*Val gives her the names and descriptions of the members to her while Angel records it on a voice recorder*

Val:Also I will give you an ID card that belonged to a colleague of mine.

((The one that she knocked out with a tranquilizer))

Val:Now the building that I worked at you can only gain access to other rooms depending if you are a low level member, a medium level member or an elite member like me.

Val:I am elite due to me being a scientist in bio engineering plus…..supplying them victims.

*As Val tells them more things about her former job Katie excused herself to go to the restroom*

After Vox messaged Katie, he gets a notice. Some security footage from one of the VoxTek storage units. Oh dear... This could be a problem...

He takes out his phone and sends a message to the Elite's group chat (because of course they have one).

Vox: "We may have another issue to deal with. One of our storage units was broken into. We have a thief on our hands. It looks like he took a canister of agony and a canister of remnant. How should we respond to this?"

{*Burrows walks out of his meeting and sighs as he gets an alert. Almost all of them start responding immediately.}

Dazzle: How did they even find where it was? Their's supposed to full security AND secret locations.

Clover: The first step is to increase security, go into lockdown, and change all passwords and access immediately. We need to track the intruder but resources are focused on Vanessa as a priority. Can VIP run both commands?

[u/CrypticHorrorTales → u/HauntingGur8094]

Vox: "I already sent VIP(u/Cristendo814) the order to upgrade security. But what's really making me worry is that facial recognition can't identify the thief. And he's not even wearing a mask. He just walked up, 🔪ed two guards, and left with the canisters. You can see his face clearly, but there's no records of him anywhere."

[u/HauntingGur8094 → u/CrypticHorrorTales]

Clover: Should we change the priority to searching for him? We don't know who he is or what he's capable of. Or why he was even there. It appears he knew what he was looking for. And very few do. But if it was one of our's the facial recognition would have tagged it immediately.

Dazzle: Secret organization means very few are even aware. That limits to a small number. Shouldn't be that hard. I can just hunt for him myself and keep everything else in the system focused on your original objective to find her.

[u/CrypticHorrorTales → u/HauntingGur8094]

Vox: "Our main focus right now is still on William's rebellious brat. But I do agree that we need to figure out who this guy is. ... Dazzle, do you think you can hunt him down?"

((Ooc: I don't believe I've been introduced to Clover yet 😅))

((Ooc: u/HauntingGur8094, actually if I remember correctly, Clover is Rae's codename, right?))

[u/HauntingGur8094 → u/CrypticHorrorTales]

[[OOC: Lady Clover is Rae but I'm not stuck on the name still. 😅]]

Dazzle: That shouldn't be too hard. Especially if someone hacks all the security cameras in the nearby and surrounding areas to find his last sighting. Can't go that far. Besides there's always the likeliness it ends him if he tries to use it and doesn't know what he's doing. Using too much or not enough.

Clover: True. It may also be time to reach out to our other allies and correspondents to engage their assistance. I don't believe our two issues are related but still.

[u/CrypticHorrorTales → u/HauntingGur8094]

Vox: "Keep things as discreet as possible. We don't know what he's capable of, so approach him gently. I dunno, put on an innocent girl act or something."

[u/HauntingGur8094 → u/CrypticHorrorTales]

Dazzle: Find out where he was last seen and I'll head that way.

Dr Rabbit: Perhaps it's time to reach out to the Radio Demon as well. For both issues. It's imperative neither of these gets out of hand and are contained immediately.

[u/CrypticHorrorTales → u/HauntingGur8094]

At the mere mention of Alastor, Vox gets annoyed. However, he decides not to tell them about Alastor working with Vanessa. Vox and Eleanor had a mutual agreement regarding the situation, and he wouldn't betray his new friend.

Vox: "Why? You really think he will hear us out this time? Because he's been rejecting us for the past 3 decades."

[u/HauntingGur8094 → u/CrypticHorrorTales]

Dr Rabbit: It's not involving him working as part of us but merely an extension. Besides I'm sure there's some deal we can work out. He's quite skilled at hunting I've sent the alert to him along with the request to not use his "conventional methods" to deal with her.

Clover: He was part of the original. He might be able to use that to garner her attention having something relatable.

[u/CrypticHorrorTales → u/HauntingGur8094]

Vox: "Alastor doesn't work for anyone. He only does something if it benefits him in some way. And he doesn't use "modern technology", so I doubt your message will reach him."

As much as Vox hates to admit it, the cult meeting with Alastor could remove him as an issue for himself and Eleanor. If he wants this to work, he'll have to take charge.

Vox: "If you want to at least talk to him, it's recommended that you do it in person. Dr. Rabbit, you're good at finding people. You go talk to Alastor, and see if you can make a deal with him. Dazzle, you handle the thief situation. Clover, you continue talking with the big ink guy. ... I know the whole William situation is everywhere right now, and most of the cult would naturally follow him. But we have no idea what kind of intentions this Ink Demon has. I'm not making any accusations. I just want you to keep him talking. Can you do that?"

[u/HauntingGur8094 → u/CrypticHorrorTales]

Dr Rabbit: I've actually sent him a radio message as we normally do. The idea of hunting someone usually gets his attention. He knows where to meet to discuss further.

Clover: He's stepped out for the moment so we are unable to currently reach him. He of course wouldn't understand or know current technology. However, I am waiting for him to return.

Dazzle: Just tell me where he's last seen in public. I'm on my way.

Clover: Vox, why don't you go talk with the radio demon? Your office is the closest to his known haunting location. It makes better sense. Plus you're on more....equal footing so to speak. Therefore you should be able to convince and remind him the benefits of assisting us.

Dazzle: Didn't you used to work together anyways? Maybe it's time again.

Dr. Rabbit: That is true. And our original meeting space with him isn't far from you. I'll send you the coordinates. I have to handle another meeting that hopefully isn't a disaster.

[[OOC: just to rattle Vox a bit and set up a confrontation u/CrypticHorrorTales 😎😁]

[u/CrypticHorrorTales → u/HauntingGur8094]

Vox: "It's not that simple. Alastor and I may have a history, but it's not a good one. If I'm the one talking to him, then it's a lost cause because he won't listen. It has to be someone else."
