[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 6197269, member: 79141"] [b]Session 90f - A couple of cliffhangers to end the session[/b] [B]A Bunch of Bolts[/B] Shortly after their meeting with Aodhan, Delft had introduced the unit to their police liaison, Sergeant Deb Macon, a laconic woman who came highly recommended for her tactical and organisational skills. She informed the unit that the fifty-strong squad would be too unwieldy to assemble all at once, but that the ten team leaders would meet them at RHC HQ early the following morning. She had already taken the liberty of giving orders that would cover the rest of the day. When the unit arrived for their meeting with the squad leaders the following morning, they were intercepted by the burly, jovial Justin Rollins, Royal Engineer, who had been working on the mangled golem that Carlao, Serena, et al (the now disbanded former Unit B) had found in a steelworks shortly after the Macbannin incident. Over the last few months, Malthusius had been patiently performing [I]object loresight[/I] on each of the fragments, and felt sure that the golem was connected to the Ob. In his visions he had seen that it was the mysterious ‘steelshaper’ who had torn the golem apart. Uru had worked on the golem himself, using instinct where Justin’s technical know-how had failed, but it transpired that a third, much more methodical party had also been involved: when they headed to the evidence locker, where a makeshift workshop had been set up ever since the golem was brought in, they found Doctor Stanmore of Unit B who – according to the Royal Engineer – had shown ‘great tenacity’ on the project over the last couple of weeks, since Stover Delft had encouraged him to lend a hand. Both of them acknowledged Uru’s contribution, and generously allowed him the privilege of attaching the head to the golem, which now lay on a table with one-and-a-half arms, one leg and one eye, plus a few other bits of casing still detached. At Rollin’s insistence, the limbs had been strapped down just in case, but when the skull was joined with the spinal column and nothing happened, everyone was just a little bit crestfallen. Unit A had to be getting on with their primary mission, and Wil promised to carry on fiddling around for a while longer to see if he had got the connections wrong somehow. Then the golem’s finger began to twitch. Rollins gave a throaty laugh, spraying half his sandwich over the table. “At least you got its finger working! Perhaps it could point the way to the Ob!” he boomed. “Wait,” said Malthusius, noting a specific, repetitive rhythm. “That’s military code.” It took the deva just a few moments to spell out P, E, N… P, E, N… [B]Bombs Away![/B] And finally… Brakken of Heffinata takes Unit B to lunch in the Pardwright District, where he seeks out a Yerasol themed restaurant and meets up with Steffan Eberhardt, the Drakren delegate at the peace talks (who happens to bear an unfortunate resemblance to Tortho Chell, causing wry glances between the officers). Brakken and Steffan share jokes as they eat before floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the new subrail line, which here in the Pardwright District runs overground, with a broad platform visible from the restaurant, where a skywalk crosses the line. A steam train moves slowly by, slowing to come into the platform, where students and sightseers wait to embark. Suddenly, Brakken booms “GET DOWN!!” as the skywalk is ripped apart and windows of the restaurant shatter inward in a shower of glass. Next session we will roll initiative, and see which of the PCs has avoided the blast. [/QUOTE]
