• Sean, again is the one to volunteer more information. With some prodding, he doesn’t spill everything, but he does give up some of the contents of the call.

• Emma and Jos also acknowledge some of the contents: the heroes confess that the voice on the other end of the line stated they had been taken, but didn’t want to leave anymore.

• Everyone also reaffirms that they didn’t know Geoffery Liebaum, but when Detective Du Jardin asks about other names—“Katzinger” and “Author”—the wizards and company maintain that the names don’t mean anything to them.

• Apparently satisfied, the detective gives everyone a card with her name and number on it, and requests that they contact her if anything comes to mind.

• Plugging the cameras back in, she defends her place in SI, as well as the entire organization:

“Ask anybody outside of SI, and it means where the kooks, burnouts, incompetents, and whistle-blowers go. Ask one of us though, and it’s where every single badge has memorized that old quote about eliminating the possible and leaving the improbable.”

• The PC’s leave, and decide to track down Weishaupt for information that evening.

• On their own, some of the others begin investigating.

• Reaching out to her contacts, Jos learns about Marathon—or at least that he doesn’t exist in any official capacity, and asking around is a good way to get yourself taken in for questioning.

• Dee, meanwhile, performs a ritual of divination upon the key they found at Liebaum’s place, and figures out where it goes…

• It looks like a trip to the airport is in the PC’s future.
