The team concocts an absolute ridiculous plan to get back into the SCIRE — parasailing from a helicopter onto the roof, then rappelling down to the university level. Considering the level of crazy it takes to willingly go back into the Arcology less than a month after escaping, dialing the insanity it up to 11 might just work.
Session 1 - 2024/09/05
Shitamuki Ni Tsukisasu Yari[1]
| Who | Fräulein Ärtzin, Garbo, Liam, Shirayuri, Valerie Westerfield |
| When | Tuesday, February 10, 2060 (Day 54) |
| Where | Downtown, Seattle Metroplex, UCAS |
As they're making their way from SeaTac towards Downtown, pretending to be a typical air taxi flight, the group makes final preparations for the drop. Fräulein provides what buff spells she has before strapping onto Shirayuri (Garbo and Liam will be jumping independently). Partially joking, but mostly serious, Whirly informs Fräulein that she is responsible for Liam getting out alive — there's an air-to-ground missile with her name on it Whirly sees her before seeing Liam.
She sets them up for an approach from the east side, so they'll be able to avoid excess time on the roof and start as close to the side of the arcology best protected from wind off the Puget Sound. It's a fast, cold trip (only Fräulein actually has appropriate protection from the weather), but Shirayuri's natural physicality and Garbo and Liam's adept powers allow them to land close together.
The quickly set up their rappelling gear — lightweight winches and stealth line — and begin their descent.
Gin To Midori No Nohara[2]
| Who | Fräulein Ärtzin, Garbo, Liam, Shirayuri |
| When | Tuesday, February 10, 2060 (Day 54) |
| Where | Rooftop, SCIRE and Renraku University, SCIRE, Level 288 |
As they make their descent, a maintenance hatch behind the massive Renraku sign disgorges a series of drones. Uncertain if it is a routine event or a security sweep, the group accelerates their descent. Shirayuri and Liam have little trouble navigating and maneuvering, but Garbo needs some help — once Shirayuri has Fräulein inside, she's able to use her levitation magic to scoop him up and drag him inside.
Session 2 - 2024/09/12
The inside we get into the SCIRE, an atrium is where the group ends up. Fräulein notices noise up to the north. There is sound of running footsteps to the north, they are going away. Fräulein can make out that they sound barefoot. We are able to enter what looks like Dorm area of the University, it seems people may be here. Fräulein sees a person run across view just at her edge about the north, they are both wet and naked.
Also hears Trideo, in Japanese, and faint electrical mechanical beeps and buzzes.
Two are playing games, one is watching from couch near trideo and seems angry while watching them. Garbo and Shirayuri go out to talk with three Garbo looking like Asian woman. When they come out the students go they had been found out and turned the lights on.
"So, does that mean the quarantine is over?" They asked the operatives.
The students were called back early from Winter Holiday, and then something went on in lower sections of the Archology/Biohazard medical situation. They had been back to school and just living their lives. They are not allowed to leave campus and must stay here, issue isolated on lower floors. Messages from parents and what not. Two, with wet hair, are watching from afar while the others talk. They mention seeing, it is weird, that all the teachers have cyber eyes, green glowing eyes. They have seen some students with glowing white cybereyes, younger.
They offered data jacks to anyone who wants them, Envious girl does have a datajack, other two did not take the offer. Floor 290 down to 285 is in use. 282 to 284 is unknown to them.
The two skinny dippers, dark haired one is not buying it/vibe that she thinks they are full are shit, red hair is worried about black hair.

Black hair girl assensing: Healthy, at moment of projection there is annoyance, fading horniness, fear. No cyberware, not magical subject, not seen before.
Fräulein and her talk, she has some idea things are going down. She does not know that I know, but Twilight is her mother and a powerful mage overall. Igarashi-chan has not seen some Mom/Twilight since having to report up here and school was canceled. Girlfriends roommate is twin sister of Girlfriend. We will stay with those two for a bit so people can rest up.
Igarshi-Chan gives us location of her apartment down in the 230s.
Questions for Igarashi-chan, Girlfriend and twin sister. Art and music are minimal, other electives are still fine. Athletics and geeky clubs get a lot of attention, the kid that is running chest club, he has white eyes. They dress weird, like in a space suit, or dressed up like roman emperor, or dressed up in mermaid tail in a tank of water getting wheeled by a green eyes.
The three of them will join us.
