Session 4: 12/19/12

BURNING AVARINE!

I was pretty tired when we ended, so please help me remember stuff, dudettes.

YVENNE COLOR: Yvenne meets with some of her crew upon her return planetside, who warn her that the Inquisition is in town.
[CROW INTERSTITIAL? I think maybe he talked with Locke about the Inquisition?]
MARIS BUILDING(1): Maris confronts Locke about his coverup of the Archcotare's infestation.  Locke tries to convince her it was probably a lone scout, and they have bigger things to worry about, which is clearly bullshit, so Maris uses her Psychology to discover that he has a worm in his own head.  In horror, she bolts, grabbing Laila as a temporary hostage to drag with her until she gets safely off his ship.
TORRENT INTERSTITIAL: Torrent, Locke, and Crow plot and scheme about how they will get the Inquisition off their backs.
MARIS COLOR: Maris is in the battalion latrines, vomiting repeatedly while Delphia holds her hair back.
YVENNE CONFLICT: Crow confronts Yvenne about her support for Kestrel at the party.  He is concerned about why she is backing Kestrel against him.  Yvenne explains: "I just... I love her.  It's not political."  Crow is not quite comfortable with his daughter's relationship, but it changes his view of Yvenne's choices, and he agrees to give her some cover against the nobles by giving her an official position within his court.
MARIS BUILDING(2): Maris goes to Yvenne's spaceport looking for Kestrel, having spent a long night awake in horror at her discovery.  She shares a torrent of images of her making love to Locke and then seeing the worm in his brain with Yvenne.  But Yvenne casts her out, decrying Psychologists as liars and magicians.  "This... stupidity... will doom us all!"
LOCKE BUILDING: Locke finds a Vaylen sleeper in the Inquisition and convinces it that it will need to be publicly exposed and destroyed for the good of the Clan. "The time has come for you to do your duty. It's not what you thought it was going to be."

MANEUVER ROLL: HUMAN GO TO GROUND VS. VAYLEN GAMBIT

O NOES!  Vaylen 8!  Humans don't get to test!

The Raven Brotherhood prepare to evade an Inquisition crackdown that never comes.  The Vaylen sleeper is publicly destroyed under the authority of the Cotar Fomas, while Torrent distributes propaganda posters and videos showing the worst offences of the Inquisition against New Horizon temples. The Inquisition are driven back to their ships among the Mundus fleet.

NEXT TIME: Maris is linked to both Yvenne and Kestrel right now.  +Rachel E.S. Walton has confirmed that it is possible for her to close her psychic "eyes" if they have sex.
