[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7118682, member: 79141"] [b]Session 13 (136) Part Two - Meeting with Stanfield[/b] SOME TIME EARLIER Korrigan attends a meeting in the Governor’s mansion, focused on determining how best to use Alpha Unit’s talents. (Professor Ludo Marcione has been unable to forge a truly effective unit to replace them as yet: Doctor Stanhope remains on board, but the dwarves Orum Dwist and Throgmorton were only ever on secondment from the REID and refused to work with Marcione again following the failure of their last mission. Brajham has been institutionalised. The rest of Beta Unit is comprised of raw recruits. Korrigan has offered training but Marcione bridled at the suggestion.) Lieutenant Dale reads out a list of possible areas for focus: the increasingly dangerous Ob facility under Cauldron Hill, now coterminous with the Bleak Gate and positively crawling with ghosts and ghoulies. Then there are the Docker riots which Governor Stanfield is particularly concerned about, hoping that Korrigan will use his influence and cache with the movement to persuade them to step down from violent conflict. Korrigan states plainly that the only way to placate the Dockers is to offer real reforms and, very calmly and diplomatically, refuses to wield any influence in the absence of such reforms. He does, however, agree to look into the Cauldron Hill situation. (Korrigan also puts a word in for Leon, but that matter is still too sore to be addressed formally.) Delft, who has been eagerly munching more than his fair share of the delicious pastries provided by the Governor’s staff, seems particularly keen to end the meeting once a direction has been agreed upon. He rushes matters, and rolls his eyes at Korrigan when Stanfield goes all wistful and starry-eyed and starts opining about his love for the city while staring out of the window. (He does that at every meeting.) The reason for Delft’s impatience is all too clear on their carriage-ride back to RHC HQ. A duplicant sits opposite Korrigan, taking Korrigan’s form. (This is a trick the Clockwork Count perfected, and one Delft is taking good advantage of.) “They’ve found him,” Delft says. “Somewhere on the Drakren rail network, apparently. Just a matter of time before they triangulate. You need to jump to the Impossible right away, and summon Matunaaga.” Then Delft and ‘Korrigan’ exit the cab and enter headquarters, leaving the real Korrigan to make his way to the secret teleportation circle concealed in Uru’s garden... [B]DM's Notes: [/B]I told the group that the exact date of that meeting would be determined by their success (or lack thereof) in the manhunt for Leone, and that to establish the circumstances that gave rise to [I]that[/I], we needed to go back in time once again to the 1st Autumn. (I had been tempted to go back only so far as their visit to Joe Hobner, but changed by mind.) It was good to get Uru and Rumdoom out of the way, and just send Korrigan to the meeting with Stanfield, because those two hate Stanfield and would have made way too much noise, on-stage and off.
