- The Bottom Line
London is Union Stronghold. You don't get to just fly in with a god damned flying saucer and start blasting away.
Time to call in the super fighers, and have them actually do their job.
Be Jamelia:
Prioritize these in order of most to least important while you scramble around the inside of this Order of Reason museum/labyrinth. 1 is most important, and the higher the number the less important it is.
[4 ] Heavy Weapons (capable of hurting power armor without aimed shots)
[3 ] Body Armor
[5 ] A Defensible Position
[2 ] An Escape Route
[1 ] Lots of Ghosts Between You And The Enemy
You may want to start using your Enlightened Science now, and heavily.
Be Donald/Rose/I-50-B31:
[ ] (2.0x) Get in contact with Jamelia. Now.
[ ] (1.5x) Just get there as quickly as possible.
[x] (1.25x) Draw out some enemies by making them think they have the wrong position. How? (Also, this may involve you being chased by a Blatancy-enhanced flying saucer with plasma guns)

Senex's Last Gift
Wisdom is not something that can be given away, and must be earned through experience.
The archmaster's advantage has always been their knowledge and power, and we have seen, time and time again, they are not necessarily wiser than the people on the ground. Wisdom is something we already have or could achieve int the future. the Knowledge from one of the Archmaster Mage is what we need.
[x] Knowledge
[ ] Wisdom
[ ] Confidence
Jamelia cursed to herself as she glanced out the window. Her field of view is limited, but the sound of power armored boots walking down tells her that there are at least 25 Void Engineer Marines readying to breach the Construct that she has taken refuge in, and the sound of actual treads on metal suggest that there are at least 2 heavier (much havier) unit outside of her field of view. (Mind 1/Correspondence 2, just by the sound of boots marching down the ramp, and treads over leaves, a veteran spy can instantly tell the number and location of enemy forces )
If these EDE is still following Void Engineer breaching protocals, Jamelia knows that the platoon will split into 5 fire teams and methodically clear the structure while the heavier units outside will provide overwatch and ensure that the target cannot escape. Thinking back on what Senex revealed about the nature of these ex-Void Engineers, there is a very good chance that they have lost some of the flexibility that made the original Seekers so effective, and instead traded for bigger jackboots and bigger guns. No matter, having made her way through the Construct, Jamelia is already familiar with the layout, and the echoing halls will mean that she will know the exact location of her enemies while they hunt her, and that will allow her to better hide from them.(Mind 2 Correspondence 2 entrop 3, having exact knowledge of how someone will follow a search pattern, knowing exactly where her hunters are in real time, a and having the perfect knowledge of the homefield, a veteran spy is able to evade even the most perfect search pattern )
Still, just hidding indefinitly is not a win condition. Jamelia figures that if she stays hidden for too long, these jarheads will just burn down the entire construct in their frustration. She will have to neutralize the heavy assets outside, and create a way out, she will need to call in Union support. A quick search of her stolen clothing yield her a cell-phone (matter 2, I just found another gun in my Other pocket
) Jamelia proceed to dial a number that has not changed since the time of Queen Victoria, and gave the automatic systems her verification codes. In the olden days, this number would have routed her to Control, where she could request for instruction or support immediately. in the aftermath of the dimensional anomaly however, Union command infrastructure optimizations means that she has to fight her way through 3 Iteration X AI, before getting to anyone with the authority she need(Correspondence 2 Force 2, Special union line of communication can be accessed everywhere, even if you are using a sleeper tech cell phone from tunnles underneith a old OoR construct).
"This is Comptroller Cole of Iteration X, why are you using this emergency channel Director Belltower?"
Finally, she's gotten through to someone useful. Barrid Cole was the Comptroller in charge of one of the most important Union Asset in London, and as a hard core progromist, he's likely to be able to get his hand on the sort of firepower Jamelia really needed.
"Comptroller, this is a code Cerulean situation. The Gauntlet has been breached in the Greater London Area, opposition forces include a Etherite warship in the shape of a flying saucer, and at least a platoon of infantry with heavy support. There has been massive sleeper causalty already."
"Impossible!" Cole claimed, "They would not dare operate so blatantly in the very heart of the Union!" That is not all that true anymore. While the birth place of the modern Technocratic union has indeed been in London, since then, the progress of globalization and off world colonization has shifted the Union into a global, if not System wide entity. Still, great britain has always been a stronghold of the Technocratic Union and reality Deviants had always tread lightly here. Guess threat Null haven't got the memo.
"Nevertheless, there is an UFO hovering above my location, i need immediate extraction. Sending you my location now."
There was a pause on the other line. Jamelia counted down the seconds. Cole will have checked out the location with the Union's satellite sensor within a second of receiving her location.
"Hoare Frost confirms the presence of Reality Deviant presence. A pair of XENA have been dispatched to your location Direct Belltower. ETA 400 seconds" Cole is out right growling on his side of the line. "My heavy assault team is loading up and will be at your location in 15 minutes. We will show these damned RD that the Union is not so weak that we will ignore this kind of provocations!"
"I don't know what Admiral Thorp is doing with all those resources if he's just going to let and damned Etherite getting through like this" Grouched Cole, "But that can wait, we will enquire after the failings of the Void Engineers after we have smited these damned Reality Deviants"
