Hmm.  We could just escort them and then come back for Iyal.  I don't see the problem with that.

[19_EgarAlnis]

[-] Those that have assembled are at a loss for words. The blonde one goes about organizing them into groups, finally stating, "Mother Alphira-- if you tell me where to meet up, I can direct them there in the morning, if you have important business to attend. Some...some of them need to sober up, anyways...if what you're saying is true. This is life...life-changing. Thank you."

Emma steps in to organize them, or rather, to delegate responsibilities. It seems that the blonde is going to get a count of all who is willing to join and is going to organize them here tomorrow for a meet-up. Emma leaves it open whether you or a Thornton agent will escort them to their new workshop.

It's an hour later when the four of you and your group break away from the crowd-- and it dwindles. You're plunged into the streets and back alleys of the suburbs as you make your way to the warehouse where Iyal resides. While in the same area as the new Thornton District, its far enough away for deniability.

It looks empty, a decrepit building devoid of life, with broken shutters and a sagging roof. There's only the pulse of a las-pistol within, but, and you strain your ears, no other sound reaches you.

You enter, your eyes adjusting to the darkness rapidly. Iyal stands tucked behind a nearby wall, judging by the las-gun pulse, and you call out to her, directing your voice towards her cover. She emerges into the darkness quietly, looking confused, even as she lights an electric lamp on the table.

"How?" Iyal questions, sitting down on what looks like it used to be a chair.

"We discussed the list with the Pontifex, and it came to light that he didn't put in a good faith effort, so he graciously prepared a new list."

[Superdorf]

Let's give the new recruits a personal escort, if we've time tomorrow.


"[Angel] trick." (Grin.) "We can feel when there's a fusion reactor near."

"Anyhow..."

"We discussed the list with the Pontifex, and it came to light that he didn't put in a good faith effort, so he graciously prepared a new list."

Pass over the dossier. "This one, I think I trust. Emma had the guy pretty well cowed when he put this together."

"You probably shouldn't have told me that." Iyal states, reaching over to retrieve the new dossier. Her confusion mounts as she looks through it, flipping through the photos and the brief statements. "This is completely...different...but far more manageable."

"This many people...I can...deal...within two weeks, long estimate. As long as they don't get spooked and stick to their paths." Iyal shuts it, asking directly, "Should I add him to the list, as well, Lady Pheobe?"

[ZBridges]

No need for a personal escort as long as we can extract from Emma a promise for the Thorntons to not turn them into debt-slaves.

"No, that isn't necessary at this time."

[VoidSlayer]

We need to minimize disruptions during the war, that is why we reduced the list in the first place.  We can deal with the Pontifex one way or the other afterwards.

Do not escort them to the factory we have done enough so far there.  You need to... sorry...   we need to learn to delegate more.

[ZBridges]

I just worry that the Thorntons might take them as debt-slaves or something.  This is a criminal Family, after all.

[19_EgarAlnis]

"As you insist. Anything else I can do for you? Would you like me to start on this and just go down the list, or do you have preferred targets from the selection? Anything like that?"

[Superdorf]

...right. Which folk do we want killed when? Do we send our signal before the convention? After?

[ZBridges]

"Spare Ryan Morris and Sally Edwards, for now, but otherwise complete the list from the top down.  Thank you for your efforts, by the way.  You're doing a great job."

Here's my suggestion for targets for now.  We can deal with the 2 others later.  We should send the signal before the convention so that the top targets won't be able to react to our change in strategy and/or execution of the generals.

+1 Sounds good to me.

+1
why are we sparing Ryan and Sally? Are they the names of Academy friends?

[19_EgarAlnis]

"I'll start right away." Iyal replies, dropping from her seat to a kneel, before rising, and gesturing you out. "You first, Lady Pheobe."

You step out, in front of Emma and the guards.

"Where to next?" Emma asks.

[ZBridges]

I wanted to spare them because they sound despicable but not particularly dangerous to our plans or particularly likely to rebel.
