Ima drinks the vial, and
(1) Almost dies from the overconcentrated Essence. Well, that explains why the guy was dead, it probably wasn't supposed to be that concentrated.
Kaguro wakes up on the hill, confused why he's sitting here and why his fyora is licking him. He sees the shapers walking back though, so he goes ahead back to the building.
Hikari inspects the explodification site, but it just looks like a plain crater of sorts. He goes back to see if theres anything new to do.
Anoth heads back to look around the library.
Haika
(6) Hears something about how all the Augmentation Canisters are gone, and its somehow a good thing. Some of them, especially Shaper Rik, seem to be less than happy that they're gone...Later, Head Shaper Qwon sends you all a note: "Rebels. North Coast. Go now, while the night can hide you, and slay them! We will not be delayed in starting the main experiments any longer!"
You also find a note from Shaper Rik hidden under it, which reads: "Kaguro, you caused that, didn't you? I saw the glint in the other warehouse and you were missing. Come to me later instead of killing the rebellion's beachhead here, it'll be more more better use of all of you apprentices' times. -Rik"
