All Teams: A follow up report on the attacks on District X

[xp_tarot]

Good evening,

Please find attached an extended version of this post, with detailed reports on Clan Akkaba, the Friends of Humanity and the assorted bigoted deplorables as well as our intel on the same.

Clan Akkaba and their hired on violence doers saw significant causalities. By percentage, I am informed the other groups saw fewer deaths. Regardless of source, the bodies of the attackers have been reclaimed by the urban ecosystem.

We are still researching Clan Akkaba's ties to European and Sub-Sarahan ethno-nationalist groups as well as other possible sources of their income, people and connections. Research is still needed on En Sabah Nur, their stated leader slash messiah slash founder

Last, the subject of Marius Laverne. As most of you know he was on scene, and was brought to the mansion after being subdued. He has been interviewed extensively, and cleared both medically and psionically. His seemingly alliance with the Clan Akkaba was unwilling.

Marius was abducted during a medical procedure, and forced under magical and psionic duress to become an Avatar for Nur. Like the other three, he was given the mantle of one of the Horsemen of Biblical Revelation (1)

His defeat was a miracle. A cross team strike group used Marius' own weaknesses against him, by overloading his mutation with high energy output and incompatible DNA, as well as the applications of luck and chaos. My report contains detailed interviews with those who directly encountered him. If you are seeking specific names to thank please first see the list of those moderately to severely injured from the last two weeks.

Last - our own Topaz has removed the unwanted tie to that group. Mr. Laverne is of his own mind and agency and is to be treated as any other mansion guest or resident who was forced unwilling to do unspeakable actions.







(1) Footnote; the most well accepted current biblical scholarly theory is that the book of Revelation is a metaphor for the end of the Roman Empire. This knowledge has not stopped cults from using it before, it shall not stop them from using it again.

And to the 'most widely accepted biblical scholarly theory' I will point out what I said to you when you brought it up in coversation.

I maintain John got absolutely baked on some really good (or bad) hallucinogens and Revelations was the outcome.

[xp_tarot]

My frustrated footnote aside, I am concerned that John was subject to actual prophecy. We do know what happens when we see a prediction and try to force it to become a metaphor.

[xp_darcy]

You're probably not wrong, except he was definitely reading the apocalyptic parts of Daniel while high.

[xp_emplate]

Thank you, Tarot. I can't say I particularly cared to deliver my own debrief in this regard.

My sole correction is that I'm not quite medically cleared. This is unrelated to cult bollocks; my mutation comes with certain complications that require monitoring before I can be released. I'm following with the Medlab at the moment. It'll be a few weeks yet before we have enough data to reassess. Kyle has been kind enough to put me up in the meantime.

As for the complication itself, without boring you with the fine details, my body does not reliably produce healthy bone marrow. On such occasions that it does not I can extract it from a donor, and I think it may be agreed that it is only polite this be by arrangement only. Whilst I am having weekly blood draws to follow my values there have been times I've had an unexpected crash, and in such cases I am neither rational nor restrained. If you happen to see me acting disoriented or unresponsive please do not approach me and place a call to Dr. Voght. She knows my condition of old.

[xp_changeling]

Just as an aside, the Four Horsemen were re-purposed. There's discussion that it has roots in Babylonian myth. Begs the question who started it?

[xp_emplate]

Strangely I was not privy to the finer points of cult history during the brutal subjugation of my free will, but I can attest that the thing they left squatting in my head was old enough to have been there. At least.

[xp_changeling]

Fuck, that was what I was thinking. Thank you for making this even more horrible.

[xp_daytripper]

It gets worse - I have a figurative shit-tonne of research to do stemming from magical debriefing.

[xp_banshee]

If it would be helpful, I could help with researching from the Catholic side of things. I say 'Catholic side', but what I mean is that I'm positive there are pre-existing documents cross referencing Biblical prophets with all sorts of things that do and don't exist. I might be able to check with the Archdiocese in New York to see if I can do some research in their archives. Or my grandda might be able to assist. He's got friends in the strangest places, sometimes.

Only if it would help, of course. There are so many Major and Minor Prophets (well, only 12 Minor Prophets) that it could take quite some time to look for anything relating to En Sabah Nur or Clan Akkaba.

[xp_tarot]

Can you please loop me into those conversations I have a personal and professional interest- and a few points of contact of my own.

[xp_banshee]

Absolutely. I'm happy to share whatever information I find. Or you could come with, if you like. And various libraries, as well. There have been some very interesting treaties published that weren't deemed Archive-worthy.

Matt might have some thoughts and suggestions, as well.

[xp_tarot]

Yes, I would rather like to go importune several church officials into allowing us access to records.

[xp_mayhem]

I took a humanities elective in Apocalypses before. Would you like me to see if the textbook for that exists in this universe in some form?

[xp_tarot]

Absolutely yes. If you can find it, and remember the differences we can - not triangulate, I cannot remember the word.

[xp_daytripper]

Help yourself, and welcome. I can do the Church-y research, but it's always better for my mood when I can avoid all the "thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" fuckery that any historical dive turns up.

[xp_banshee]

Yes, I can't imagine that would be terribly pleasant. I'm happy to take that part off your hands. It seems like we have a small group forming to help with it, so hopefully we'll find some answers instead of more questions.

[xp_emplate]

I live to serve.

[xp_changeling]

I hope you haven't given in that easily.

[xp_emplate]

You and Kyle. Really, until three weeks ago I was acting as avatar for an ageless being set to annihilate the whole of New York City. I should think people here of all places would allow me my black little jokes.

[xp_wildchild]

I am going to go get a pineapple, throw it at your head, and then eat the entire thing while drinking. FYI.

[xp_emplate]

Was the pineapple also a harbinger of destruction? I think we should maintain a certain consistency of theme. If not perhaps we can locate a suitably ruinous durian.

[xp_darcy]

Has anyone asked Thor if he's heard of this En Sabah Nur guy?

[xp_submariner]

This threat seems great enough to warrant my interest.

Akkaba still means nothing, but that symbol is known to me from our stories.

[xp_tarot]

Your majesty, what is your going rate for dinner and historical interviews?

[xp_submariner]

The Never King is a piece of culture.

We can trade in favors rendered. I may have need of your expert hand soon.
