[QUOTE="talien, post: 4768060, member: 3285"] [b]Angular Gods: Part 3 – Sacrifices Must Be Made[/b] As Hammer opened the door, his nostrils were assaulted by the smell of rotting meat and the faint buzzing of flies. “Got the safe open,” said Guppy over the comm. There’s a diary.” “What’s it say?” asked Hammer. “We’re entering the attic now.” “Someone named Cho Chu-tsao introduced Morrow to Blink,” said Guppy. “He made her his personal assistant. Then he signed proxy votes of Tiger Transit over to Matthew Lewis, making him Chairman of the Board and CEO. Sounds like he was addicted to the stuff.” The attic was entered via a very steep staircase that led from the upper landing. Hammer and Archive ascended the stairs. The smell became progressively stronger and stronger until they stepped out onto a confined area, a room piled up to the sloping rafters with sheet-covered crates. “Something went wrong,” continued Guppy. “Morrow took something new from the tcho-tchos, a more pure version of Blink. His mind went back, far back. Then he says something followed him to the present.” Archive nodded. “That’s what I was afraid of.” After exploring for a few minutes, they found a clear space and in its center, a sheet covered in odd scorched holes that seemed to form some sort of circle. “It was Cho who had the house remodeled to remove all angles,” said Guppy. “Morrow hung on to his majority stock and if he died, Cho wouldn’t get any – he still had his ex-wife, Melissa, in his will.
