We got back from the bar and filled in Tom and Koda, just as police sirens started outside. The hovercraft lands and policemen are pounding on the door. They stuff a warrant into my hand and push past, claiming that they are investigating an attempted jailbreak by drones controlled from this building. They ask to see computer records and then start seizing all the electronic equiptment (including toasters, curling irons, etc)

They leave two guards to watch over the basement door, where Alpha is, and then try to search us. I ask for a female officer, and they end up arresting me. They throw me into a drunk tank for awhile.

After a bit, they bring me out and say "you're free to go". I ask for my ID, and they say "no". "But if I don't have my ID, won't I just get arrested?" "You don't have an ID?" "No, you have it" "Then you're under arrest for being in public without an ID" "What? But you have it" "sorry, no exceptions" "Then may I call my lawyer?" "It's midnight. " "I know" "Your lawyer works at midnight?" ""Yup"

"Flash photography ok?" "um... we can probably make it okay"
"How about IR? Then I don't need flash"
"Perfect."
"Okay. Looks cooler anyway"

We get to the manhole and Koda goes to scout down. She climbs down the non-ladder part of the manhole and goes to scout.

We got down into the manhole and found an IR-camera. Tristain and Koda climbed across with me on Tristain's back, and Koda made Tom and the reporter invisible to walk through the IR field. We all got to the other side, and got into the tunnels that looked familiar.

We got into the bunk room and I pointed out the concrete block that had once had the sword. We tried to point out things that correlate with our story, but many of them also correlate with the National Guard's "go in and shoot things" story.

We point out the sword marks in the wall and arrange for him to be able to take a few pictures of it. We found our way outside and began talking. "I need an angle. Either we can go with 'the government is covering this up because they didn't do what they should have done, or

"Any chance while they're thinking I could get tortured?" -Tommy

We get back to the house and try to call the police. I'm on hold for a really long time before Koda calls on a different phone and asks the electronic concierge for Barton's trial date (not available to the public) and the equiptment list (not available in the current emergency, which began June 14, 2011)

Koda goes downtown to check out Mank's apartment. A PI noticed her and watched her. She turned invisible, he walked around the corner and looked right at her. "I'm going to go home and sulk" -Koda She flipped the card to one of us. "Peter Spade, no relation, private investigator" "Wow. He's good. We ought to call him. " "grumble"

Tristain and Koda tested out whether threaded spells could be dispelled. Apparently they can.

Barton returns. "I was found not guilty of everything except for flight from prosecution, and given a one-year suspended sentence. If I get in trouble any more, I'll get in real trouble"

We filled him in on the situation, the framing, etc. Barton and Koda went to Radio Shack to get parts for a bug sweeper. Tom and Tristain went looking for magic books. "I'm delivering myself, hm hm hm " -Barton

I put on my Vestrial dress and go to Harvard, picking up a mask pin as I go. With that pinned to my collar, I pick somewhere and begin to tell the Story of Death and the Passions. When that ends, I tell more stories about Vestrial.

"I let go of the ladder, *then* I cast levitation" -Dawn
oops.
um... This is a Problem."
"Suddenly, Koda is unconsious with blood coming out of her nose, and you are underwater. "
