The Dreaming Psychics

November 28, 4995

November 1, 1999, 1:01 AM

--------------------------------------------

The Agora of Vargo

You stand at the heart of the City of Vargo. This cobble stone plaza is located on a slight rise, making it easy to see the city around you.

The Agora is in a state of disarray. Neat piles of rubble stand here and there, while the buildings to the north lie blasted, burnt, and black. The buildings on the east side of the square sport great cuts, below which still lie heavy-looking lumps of masonry. The cobblestones themselves are ravaged also; three great indentations in the ground form a triangular shape at the heart of the Agora as if something very heavy had been placed here. Yet, for all the damage around the area, the monument remains unharmed.

The rubble and fallen masonry cast night-borne shadows across the stalls and tents of the Agora. Though most are closed due to night fall, there is always something for sale at the Agora. A few people mill around the few taverns and nightclubs still open at this hour.

It's clear, cool, and windy. The waning gibbous moon is reflected in the silvery star at the top of the monument. The tide is high and rising. The deep blue night sky is clear and cloudless, and the stars glitter. An icy wind blows from the northwest.

The squad of soldiers carefully watches Alvaro's approach.

Andrei nods. "You are.. here on Hawkwood business?" He turns to Morgan "Excuse me?"

 

Andrei

Count Andrei Vassily Mandin Decados... Long flowing black robes swirls around his lean body, with the Mantis symbol worked into the heavy swirling material in a dark green silklike material. The front of the robes fall open occasionally revealing a sculpted hard suit of black silky material. Occasionally when he makes a gesture you can see he is wearing black gloves. Loose shoulder length black hair frames his pale face, dominated by green glittering eyes, strong aristocratic nose and slightly sneering full lipped mouth which has a trace of blood on it. A heady scent reminding you of a jungle and the dangers hidden within fills the air around him.

Alisdair looks at Alvaro.

Tempest is more frustrated than usual, so she shakes the poor page "What of her!"

 

Tempest

Tempest Ryder is a comely young Charioteer, at the beginning of her womanhood. Her skin is soft and pale , a spacer's complexion with a smattering of freckles. Her features betray her Ravenna birth, small dark eyes and prominent cheekbones and curving expressive lips. Her hair is thick and fire-red, cascading down her back and sweeping over her shoudlers in a riot of decadent heavy spiralled curls. She's not much of a an amazon, just barely over 5 foot but well built with a hard musculature evedent in her motions. She's anything -but- a spoiled noble.
Tempest is dressed in a loose-fitting red flight suit with the Charioteer's Guild symbol prominant on the left breast with her rank pins.. Her pockets are full of trinketry, maybe pens or perhaps adjuster keys or meters of some kind. A plain leather belt cinches her waist tightly held up by a pair of padded suspenders. From the belt hangs a simple black holster and a well made pouch. Her feet are sheathed in brown thigh-high Bruteskin boots with padded knees.

The Hawkwood Servant nods and graps Tempest's arm. "The Marquessa, she has collapsed."

Morgan says, "Who is sunny jim , here with the arsenal ... does he really need that many weapons? .... As for Svenja, here, she's looking for work."

 

Morgan

A tall man with dark hair and hazel eyes. The coiled energy within him radiates outwards. A smile crosses his lips knowingly as he see you look at him and he bows his head slightly. He is pretty un-noticable until you realize that he is very distinctive but is trying to hide it . His movements and pose are meant to allay any suspicions you have about him. The pose of slouching and slothfulness conceal a strong and fluid style of movement.
A blue shirt is concealed under a long brown coat which looks as if it has been around for a long , long time. The outfit screams comfort and function. The shirt collar is unbuttoned and the coat undone . Under the coat when he moves, the leather of shoulder holsters seems to appear and the holster are definately holding weapons . The coat is cut to conceal them so the flash of leather you just saw must have been deliberate. Is that all he has under there or not ... At his coat collar is a flash of silver and black, some kind of pin , perhaps of his affliation.
A pair of dark colored pants , worn to comfort appear beneath the coat , a duster it must be , you realize. Well worn combat boots on his feet, you can see the metal of the caps in them , but for all that they are well mantained He stands in a slouch and his hands stay still . But then once in a while one hand adjusts a gun butt , it seems to be a nervous tick , like the way he watches everything all the time and his eyes are forever moving. Yet for all this he seems at peace with the world around him , as if he accepts his place in it and knows what he must do.

Svenja says, "No Mylord I'm here on my own. I'm trying to start over here at Vargo."

Alisdair shudders and watches the Hawkwood servant.

 

Alisdair

A lean man nearly 2 metres tall, Alisdair moves with the catlike grace of a trained duellist. His eyes are concealed behind a pair of black shades, his hollow but strangely handsome face framed by wavy dark hair. A three days growth of beard almost conceals the scars left by numerous duels.
Alisdair wears tight fitting black leathers, heavy boots, and a dark grey hooded cloak. His sword-belt holds his long curved blade as well as a fair number of dirks and knives and a holstered autofeed gun. A shining silver brooche attached to his cloak depicts the Mantis of house Decados.

Andrei nods then. He seems to relax. He sneers at Morgan. "This is _Baron_ Alisdair.. of my House. You will do well to remember that.." He smiles coldly. "Svenja.. what type of work are you looking for?"

 

Svenja

Svenja is an 7 feet tall Woman of Vuldrok descent. Thanks to her birth she has azure eyes along silveryblonde hair growing to her shoulders. Her shoulders and arms could nearly compete to those of a blacksmith. She wears some studded leather that has seen better times. She has an very simple done Sword and an great wooden roundshield on her back.

Morgan says, "forgive me, Baron , a pleasure to meet you, are you new here?"

Lisette strides in, looking very serious, accompanied by two servants in Hawkwood livery who are carrying the figure of Jennifer Hawkwood, and two armed and alert Hazat soldiers.

Alisdair gives Morgan a wolfish grin and nods.

Alisdair says, "Argh!"

Svenja says, "Mylord, Im sorry but my talents are restricted. I have not more to offer than my sword."

Morgan says "So, Baron, are you a blade or gun man? And what is this... " He turns to study the new arrivals.

The Hawkwood Servant turns from Tempest to the Hawkwood Guards and then back to her again. "See!"

Andrei looks at Lisette, he nods in greeting. He walks closer to her... and stops as Alisdair speaks.

At a gesture from Lisette, the guards move to position themselves between Jennifer and the rest of the Agora.

Alisdair looks around nervously.

Andrei turns to Alisdair.

Andrei mutters to Alisdair, "it is here..."

Lisette nods absently to Andrei, clearly paying more attention to the rest of her surroundings.

Andrei mutters to Alisdair.

Tempest lets go of the servant, her expression cold "Fetch a priest.."

Morgan moves away from the rest of the group and pats at his pockets again distractedly

Lisette and her entourage are swiftly crossing the Agora, heading West.

Andrei walks over to Lisette, pointedly ignoring the soldiers "My lady.. what happend to Marquessa Jennifer?"

Morgan sits on some rubble and watches events with interest, still looking for something in his pockets with one hand.

Alisdair steps aside and leans at a wall, holding his head in agony.

Lisette mutters to Andrei, "... you..."

Alvaro, standing near the entrance to Promenade, watches the arrival of Lisette and party, noting the inert Marquessa with a bemused expression.

Morgan gets up and moves toward Alisdair with a intrgued expression.

Andrei mutters to Lisette, "No..... in... the... as Jennifer... Baron... is... either... seems."

Morgan says, "Mi-lord , what is wrong"

Lisette gestures to Alvaro, beckoning him over.

Tempest turns round slowly as Alisdair clutches his head, her eyes turning angrily to Svenja.

Lisette mutters to Andrei, "... they..."

Morgan notices Tempest and changes direction to head her off if she heads for Svenja.

Andrei nods to Lisette, keeping an eye on Alisdair.

Svenja looks around confused.

Alisdair says, "I'm all right, thank you."

Alvaro approaches Lisette, a question in his eyes. An uplifted brow and a jerk of his head in Jennifer's direction lends specificity to the unspoken query.

Lisette nods to Alvaro.

Andrei says, "My lord. We seem to have a situation on our hands.."

Andrei motions for Alisdair to move closer to him.

Alisdair shakes his head, moaning.

Alvaro raises one eyebrow. "Indeed? What is amiss?" He glances around uncertainly, as if searching for unseen enemies hidden among the quiescent vendors' stands.

Lisette is continuing to make her way westwards, though she has slowed slightly to walk with Alvaro and Andrei.

Lisette mutters to Andrei and Alvaro, "It seems to be the case that people are collapsing. Myself, I have a buzzing in my head, that worsens as I approach Jennifer, and as I neared the Agora...."

Alisdair stand up and tries to concentrate.

Alisdair shakes his head again and reaches under his cloak.

Andrei mutters to Lisette and Alvaro, "Something happens to it seems psychics. Sergei and Ethan collapsed. Alisdair hears a faint buzzing when he is close to any of them."

Morgan gets in front of Tempest and just stands there, almost crackling with pent up energy. "Don't try it." He lets his left hand drop to his belt.

Tempest mutters to Morgan, "... doing..."

Alvaro mutters to Lisette and Andrei, "Buzzing, you say. Hmmm. I sense a buzzing as well, but I have heard it intermittently since the blow to my head, so it may be unrelated."

Lisette smiles briefly at Alvaro.

Andrei mutters to Lisette and Alvaro, "I feel or hear nothing at all."

Morgan mutters to Tempest, " Doing ..." and then gets quieter.

Alisdair shrinks and stumbles away, moaning.

Lisette walks down the hill to Prophet's Way.

Andrei pulls Alisdair closer and pushes him towards the West edge of the Agora.

Tempest mutters to Morgan, "She's... kind of magic, harming..."

Jihad arrives from the Promenade.

Andrei walks down the hill to Prophet's Way.

Tempest whispers hatefully to Morgan, eyeing Svenja.

Alisdair stumbles forward, covering his head with his hands.

Alisdair walks down the hill to Prophet's Way.

Svenja scatches her head, looking confused.

Morgan shakes his head. "No, I doubt that."

Alvaro follows Lisette, glancing back at the Agora uncertainly.

Prophet's Way

This section of the Prophet's way is lined with low, flat-roofed buildings, homes to some of the poorer freemen of Vargo. The road is narrow and only partially paved, with much of the pavement missing and the underlying earth exposed. Weeds and grass grow along the edges of the road, where they aren't smashed by feet, hooves and tires. The road is at a low point here, rising gently towards the Agora to the east and more steeply towards the Catheredral to the west. On the north side of the road is the Sanctuary Aeon hospice. To the left a door enters the chapel. To the right, a gate leads into the yard in front of the hospice proper. It is very dark, with only a few lights shining in the windows of the homes along the street.

It's clear, cool, and windy.

Lisette is standing talking to Levi, Andrei, Alvaro, and perhaps a rather distracted Alisdair, with Jennifer Hawkwood being carried by two servants in Hawkwood livery, watched over by two armed Hazat soldiers.

Lisette looks pained, as does Alisdair.

Lisette looks pained and worried.

Leviticus sees the situation, and rushes forward. "What happened?"

Lisette gestures to the guards and servants. "Take her inside, and get her looked at by a Healer."

Alisdair mutters to himself.

Lisette turns to the Father-Commander. "She collapsed; I'm not sure why - I found her lying on the floor. Others seem to be doing so, too."

Andrei looks at Leviticus. "We do not know exactly Father." He looks to Lisette "It is just as bad inside there my lady."

Lisette sighs. "Thank you, my lord. Have the Amaltheans reached any conclusions?"

Andrei shakes his head. "They are rushing to and thro.."

Leviticus says, "On the floor where, Lisette?"

Jihad walks down the hill from the Agora.

Lisette looks up at Sarasvati, astride Jihad, while talking to Leviticus. "Her mansion."

Andrei nods to the Lady Sarasvati.

Svenja walks down the hill from the Agora.

Alisdair gets up and bows to Sarasvati. He is shivering while he's moving.

Andrei turns to Svenja, a calculating look entering his eyes.

Lisette winces visibly.

Svenja looks around confused.

Leviticus makes sure the injured are sent into the Hospice quickly, holding up Lisette only long enough to get the information from her.

Andrei looks at Levitcus. "Father, the hospice is hit just as bad.."

From atop Jihad, Sarasvati nods to Alisdair, "My lord, I'm not sure we've met but perhaps you can tell me what's going on?"

Lisette has stopped the servants from taking Jennifer inside.

Leviticus points west. "Any who need the space can be moved to the Hostel. There's plenty of space there."

Andrei nods to Leviticus "That is perhaps best."

Andrei turns to Svenja "How long ago is it since you arrived?"

Svenja says, "Arrived on Vargo, an hour perhaps,Mylord."

Alisdair eyes at the Hospital with dread in his eyes.

Andrei frowns. "I do not think everyone should go together. Some seem to have an effect on others. I think we should split them up."

Leviticus looks at Andrei. "Take them to the Hostel, tell the acolytes you have my permission. Is there anything else I need to know?"

Lisette steps over to Leviticus, warily watching Svenja all the while. "The Marquessa induces a buzzing in my head, exceeded only by the tall, ah, 'lady' just now arrived...."

Andrei smiles at Leviticus, eyes glittering. "Yes.. we seem to be the only ones not affected by this.. buzzing Father. Lady Lisette seems to have things in hand. She shall take these to the Hospice." He indicates, Jennifer.

Leviticus looks eye to eyes at the arrived Vuldrok.

Alisdair stumbles away from the Hostel.

Leviticus nods to Andrei. "Go."

Svenja bows to Leviticus.

Svenja says, "What's happening, father?"

Leviticus looks back to the Vuldrok, nodding to her. Amazing how his features are quite similiar to hers.

From atop Jihad, Sarasvati cocks her head trying to figure out what is going on.

Leviticus shakes his head to her. "I do not know of yet. I just was walking here when I met up with everyone."

Andrei stands of slightly to the one side. He motions for Lisette to remove Jennifer, and Alisdair to move away a bit.

Sarasvati dismounts the black stallion.

Lisette gestures to her servants and the guards, who begin moving further west.

Andrei says, "Lady Sarasvati.. you detect a slight buzzing?"

Alisdair stumbles towards the Agora, shivering.

Alisdair sits down, staring at the Hospital.

Alvaro steps closer to Andrei and Sarasvati. "I take it that all those with psychic powers have been struck by this mysterious malady, to one degree or another, M'Lady."

Svenja moves over to Alisdair. "Everything alright, Mylord?"

Leviticus looks to Andrei. "Andrei. Start getting people moved into the Hospice. Those that can't or won't go in, move them to the Hostel."

Lisette suspiciously watches Svenja, glancing round momentarily to check on the progress of Jennifer and her escort.

Alisdair smiles to Svenja. "I'm all right, yes, thank you." He doesn't sound very convincing.

Andrei looks back at Leviticus, eyes glittering. "Baron Alisdair, Marquessa Lisette. I suggest you move to the Hospice immediately. The rest of us do not seem to be affected by this.. we shall join you shortly, I am sure."

Svenja says, "May I offer you a hand Baron?"

Alisdair glances at the count. "...At once, My Lord."

Lisette checks again on the progress of the group carrying Jennifer, then sets off after them - at about the right distance for an in-city rear-guard.....

Andrei steps closer to Svenja and Alisdair. He motions for him to leave.. now.

Alisdair takes Svenja's hand and gets up.

Svenja pulls Alisdair up.

Andrei looks at Alisdair.

Lisette begins climbing the road towards the Cathedral.

Sarasvati is looking about still perplexed, "A buzzing? No. And it's incapacitated the Lady Jennifer and Lord Alisdair?"

Leviticus gets people moving in the proper directions, getting info as they pass.

Andrei looks to Baron Alvaro as well. "Baron? You said it affects you as well? If so.. go to the Hospice."

Svenja is helping the Baron if he struggles.

Alisdair moves towards the yard, clenching his teeth.

Andrei says, "Svenja. That is not necessary. Leave the Baron be.. He is moving somewhere.. safer. Stay there."

Alvaro shakes his head slowly. "I believe I am only suffering from an ordinary headache, M'Lord, a lingering effect of the concussion I recently suffered. I would prefer to remain, and help if I can."

Leviticus looks at Alvaro.

Andrei nods to Alvaro. "Very well."

Svenja says, "of course Mylord."

Alisdair takes a deep breath as he approaches the gate.

Alisdair walks through the gate into the yard outside the Sanctuary Aeon hospice.

Andrei turns a glittering look on Svenja. "Father Leviticus... it seems that these events had been occurring for roughly the same amount of time.. that she has been in Vargo City. If she has been here for an hour that is."

Leviticus says, "Andrei. Less talk, more action. Get these people moving."

Andrei smiles. "That they have. The people that are not affected are here, now."

Andrei keeps an eye on Svenja.

Leviticus looks at the departing people, nodding to Andrei. "Good."

Svenja is locking eyes on the Count looking puzzled.

Alvaro casts a speculative glance at Svenja, then turns to Count Andrei, brow furrowed pensively. "You truly believe the presence of this ... woman ... may be connected to these incidents?"

Svenja says, "Which woman?"

Andrei nods slowly. "Baron Alisdair indicated that his.. pain increased when she is nearby."

Andrei says, "Why.. Svenja. We are talking about you."

Svenja says, "Me, I swear I have done absolutely nothing."

Alvaro again looks at Svenja, and rubs absently at his mustache as he studies her. After a moment he purses his lips, and looks sidewise at Andrei.

Andrei turns slightly to Leviticus. "Father. What have your teachings indicated for situations like this?"

Sarasvati says, "Perhaps if we were to remove her from the scene. I suppose I could put her up in the al-Malik barracks while this is investigated?"

Leviticus says, "secure the area, clear for threats, tend the injured and bury the dead."

Andrei flicks a glance at Sarasvati. "That sounds more sensible..."

Alvaro turns to Sarasvati. "That might not be enough. I understand that Marquessa Jennifer was affected at the Hawkwood Mansion; how near was this woman at the time?"

Svenja takes some steps back.

Sarasvati says, "True, I'm sure Father but I believe we are trying to be specific here. Do you have another suggestion my lord? We can't just kill her to see if that solves things."

Leviticus glares at Sarasvati. "Of course we can't kill her outright! Shame on you for thinking such..."

Andrei looks at Svenja. "Or we move her off planet for the time being."

When Sarasvati mentions killing Svenja draws sword and shield. "Stand back."

Alvaro nods. "That might be far enough ..." As the Vuldrok arms herself, his hand moves to the hilt of his blade, and he almost unconsciously moves to interpose himself between Svenja and Sarasvati.

Sarasvati says, "How dare you? You were the one who spoke of clearing threats--and we all know what Brother Battle means by that."

Leviticus holds a hand out to Svenja. "Stand down!" to the general group, he announces. "there will be no blood shed here."

Andrei flicks an annoyed look at Sarasvati and Leviticus. "Svenja.. we think your presence has an effect on people here.. Perhaps if we move you away to see the effect of that.. Would you mind a trip into orbit?"

Svenja lowers her sword and takes some steps back watching the others warily.

Svenja says, "I won't let anybody kill me."

Andrei he steps forward, eyes glittering as he locks his gaze with Svanja's. "We will not harm you.."

Leviticus says, "Andrei, Please escort the lady away from here."

Sarasvati shakes her head in disgust. "No there won't which I already said but apparently the Father can't hear anything over his own posturing." She turns to Svenja, "Woman, I am High Justice of Vargo, I am asking you to accompany me to my mansion until we can figure out what is going on.

Leviticus glares at Sarasvati. "I'm sorry, was that directed at me?"

Svenja is still stepping back.

Svenja calms down a bit.

Sarasvati gives Leviticus a brief, cold glance, "He who has ears let him hear," then turns back to Svenja.

Svenja says, "Don't try tricks on me."

Andrei smiles at Svenja. "While these two bicker.. "He points to Sarasvati and Leviticus "You can take a trip into orbit.. House Decados will cover the expense. If it turns out that you are the effect.. we will then arrange for your passage off world."

Svenja says, "I effect nobody, I never have."

Svenja says, "What strange games are you playing with me?"

Andrei walks closer to Svenja, holding out his arm. "This is one way to find out is it not?"

Leviticus turns and leaves after speaking a few words to the Justice.

Alvaro's eyes flicker uncertainly between Andrei and Sarasvati, then return to Svenja. His hand has not left the hilt of his sword, but then, he is Hazat.

Andrei keeps a weary eye on Svenja.. and her sword.

Leviticus begins climbing the road towards the Cathedral.

Svenja says, "I swear I have nothing to do with it."

Andrei says, "If you have an effect... I will gladly ensure your safe passage off Vargo.."

Andrei pauses. "Nothing to do with?"

Alisdair opens the gate and walks out to the street.

The little dog prances about in happiness at Alisdair's appearance.

Svenja says, "Oh mother please help me."

Svenja says, "Where do you think I should go?"

Sarasvati nods, "I understand Svenja, but right now the coincidence of time looks bad. Please, accompany me to my place until tempers have had time to cool. You will be safe there."

Alisdair stumbles through the gate, carrying a massive body.

Andrei smiles reassuringly "I will gladly help you Svenja. Allow me." He walks slowly closer.

Alisdair is heavily sweating, tears running down his cheeks.

Andrei glances at Alisdair and the body he carries.

Svenja steps backward. "No further"

Svenja says, "I will give up my sword if you stand still"

Andrei smiles to Svenja. "Anywhere you wish to." He stops. "Very well.. I will take your sword into safe keeping."

Alvaro studies Andrei with narrowed eyes as he mutters to Sarasvati, " M'Lady... duly appointed authority... mansion... or... we... to..."

Alisdair cows. "My Lord..."

Sarasvati shakes her head in a small warning.

Svenja puts down her sword.

Andrei looks to Alisdair "Baron? What is it?"

Andrei walks closer, leans down carefully and picks up the sword.

Sarasvati mounts the black stallion.

Alisdair stumbles nearer, carrying the motionless body of Sergei on his shoulder.

From atop Jihad, Sarasvati says, "Svenja it is your choice. You can leave the planet or you can accompany me. Choose."

Andrei turns a glittering look on Svenja.

Alisdair looks at the Decados count. "It seems to radiate from the bodies, but it's still strongest inside..."

Svenja looks at Sarasvati. "I haven't done anything."

Alisdair breaks down to his knees.

Alisdair drops Kossack Sergei.

Andrei nods to the side. "Move Ethan out as well then Baron. Is Sergei still alive?"

Andrei says, "It might be.. by accident Svenja. We need to move you away to see if it has an effect."

Alisdair shivers. "Uh... Forgive me, My Lord. I'm not sure if I can stand that buzzing again and stay conscious."

From atop Jihad, Sarasvati says, "Accepted. And if you come to my house you will be treated and protected as a guest until the real problem is discerned."

Andrei says to Alisdair. "Then move to the yard and take Sergei with you."

Alisdair says, "At once, My Lord."

Alisdair takes Kossack Sergei.

Alisdair walks through the gate into the yard outside the Sanctuary Aeon hospice.

Svenja says, "I used my last money to come here, I can't go away again I have nothing. And I can't allow myself to be arrested. It will be hard enough to get a job without being accused."

From atop Jihad, Sarasvati says, "You are not being arrested. You are being invited to the house of the High Justice."

From atop Jihad, Sarasvati says, "It is as much a protection for you from those who might leap to conclusions as anything else."

Andrei smiles to Svenja again. "You have to decide.. now. House Decados will help.. jointly with the Lady. If it turns out you have to leave the planet.. We will help to foot the bill for that." He flicks a glittering glance at Sarasvati.

From atop Jihad, Sarasvati nods at Andrei's last words, though her stern gaze remains fixed on Svenja.

Alvaro folds his arms across his chest as he watches Svenja, waiting to hear her answer. At least he is no longer touching his sword.

Svenja thrusts her shield to the ground. "Damn I have nothing to do with this shit, and if I'm a guest or not it will sound like prisoner to everybody else. I'm going with you."

From atop Jihad, Sarasvati nods, "Very well. Lord Andrei, would you return her sword to my guest."

Andrei hands the sword back. Carefully. He looks to Sarasvati.

Svenja says, "thank you Mylord."

Alisdair opens the gate and walks out to the street.

Svenja stores sword and shield on her back again.

Alisdair approaches slowly, without the body of Sergei.

From atop Jihad, Sarasvati nods, "Thank you Lord Andrei. If you wish to visit after helping your people, you are of course, always welcome at the mansion."

Andrei nods to Sarasvati. "Of course." He smiles, casting a last glittering look at Svenja then he turns to Alisdair.

Alisdair looks at Svenja nervously, then moves towards Andrei.

From atop Jihad, Sarasvati nods, "If you will excuse me my lords?"

From atop Jihad, Sarasvati says, "This way Svenja."

Svenja heads for the direction sarasvati shows.

Alvaro inclines his head to Sarasvati, then watches her ride away, leading Svenja.

Andrei nods to Sarasvati. He turns to Alisdair and walks to the Hospice.

Jihad heads east into the Agora.

Svenja heads east into the Agora.

Andrei smiles to Alvaro, nods once then leaves, motioning for Alisdair to follow.

Andrei walks through the gate into the yard outside the Sanctuary Aeon hospice.

Andrei has left.

Alisdair walks through the gate into the yard outside the Sanctuary Aeon hospice.

Alisdair has left.
