Sunzi thinks: "I am...limited in my ability to move beyond the physical realm. I sense the dream realities of my compatriots, but I cannot travel beyond. I must meditate on this more... My second priority was to recover the krys, which meant, unfortunately, recovering Mersy. I speculate that the New World Order would use a local police station to house her and to stay as a base of operations. Luckily, I guessed correctly that they would only have Sleeper operatives. Although the escape proved less subtle than I wanted, we managed to escape relatively unharmed, and with Mersy and the krys. Unfortunately, I ruined a perfect chance to probe the girl's mind. Hopefully, I did not reveal too much to her. In either case, I intend to hold onto both pieces of the krys, since Mersy tends to...attract attention to herself. The next step? A journey into Mexico to the third trial..." |
The mages discuss their next move, when Myogin senses a Mind scan in their area. They hop out of the hotel, and head straight for the nearest bus station. Meanwhile, they do pick up a tail, but in the form of Jesse, a Verbena doctor, following Marcus' strong Prime aura. The mages find a run-down hotel across the street, while Raj plans a bus trip to Mexico. Myogin decides to scry for Mersy, Sunzi returns to the club strip to do some legwork, Marcus rests, and Raj encounters Jesse, who patches the bullet wound from the Man-In-Black. They discover Mersy in a local police Precinct, in jail and in cuffs, and hatch a plan to rescue her. Myogin forsees her handover to (possibly) the Men-In-Black at 5:00am. Jesse and Sunzi pose as FBI agents and arrive at 4:40am with forged documents and uniforms thanks to Raj and his nanotech sack. Myogin enters the police parking lot, in regular police uniform, to suss out a van to escape in. All goes according to plan, until the evidence officer takes too long to examine the documents, and the original group of police come to pick Mersy up. Two officers escort them out to the lot, and spy Marcus and Myogin fiddling with a van. Marcus hotwires the van, takes the wheel, while Sunzi "convinces" the officers that nothing is amiss, and the others toss Mersy in the back. A single police cruiser follows them onto the highway, and attempts to block their escape, but they crash straight into the motionless car, spinning it across a few lanes. The group meets up with Raj at the station, hops on a bus, and rides it to a town west of Kansas City. There, Mersy wakes from her stupor and accidently destroys the bus. However, the mages manage to find their own van, and the physical location of the third spirit, in a Mexican jungle.
