Impossible to achieve yet weirdly hilarious idea: corrupt redeem Lash, banish her from Harry's body, bind her into your service and hire her as a governess for the kids. I mean, Uriel would probably prove her credentials, I think.
More realistically - bring someone from our soul's kingdom.
I dont wanna interfere with the Harry/Lash/Bonea plot.
Though I'd much like to keep her alive as well. If only to see Dresden's various baby mamas all in the same room one day with their own kids; Susan with Maggie and Lash with Bonea.
We know our powers can have second order effects, like giant flaming wings hurting stealth even if the charm doesn't say so. So would that apply to speed? Perhaps beneficially if we use it right? What could we do with that much speed?
Chicago is 25 miles across at its greatest extent.
With that much speed we could respond to to any incident in the city of Chicago inside 3 minutes.
We could fly to Toledo, OH and back in under fifty minutes.
COMMENTARY
Twenty eight people. Oof. Im betting a significant number of those arent museum employees.
Thats a significant mass murder event, and one with major questionmarks about how, since the murders were apparently carried out with melee weapons, and with mutilation of the bodies during or afterwards.
Of course the Feds would be involved, even if only as support. Especially as this is just over a month after Splattercon.
Dresden would almost certainly be getting a visit if not for the fact that the times of death would correlate to when he was in Cook County lockup. And the cops already having played that hand. Corpsetaker unintentionally did him a favor.
Hes still going to get unofficial questions from Murphy.
Marcone would be running interference for Gard if necessary, which would benefit Dresden as well.
"Daad, I can literally live off chips, crackers and Mars Bars and be healthy as a horse, it's part of the whole superpower package. As long as I get remotely enough calories I'm fine."
"Think you can make that point to your mother?"
Touche
Lol.
Phenomenal cosmic power. Still subject to maternal rules about diet.
Kinda refreshing actually.
You know, one of these days Molly is going to have to spend that Dex 4/Craft 3/Excellency 7 + Tool Constructs on actually cooking the family dinner. Just to prove she can.
Soul's Rest Wellness Clinic, is emblazoned in golden lettering on the front. It does not take more than a look down the glossy pictures of smiling seniors to realize that this is a retirement home on the banks of Lake Eerie. Golden years, golden memories seems to be their motto. "Any idea what's wrong with this place. Feelings? Signs?" You could just ask of course... but you only get one question and if you ask the wrong one from lack of context there goes that lead.
Okay. Its definitely not a Blampire operation. They dont have the funds or connections to operate this openly.
The Reds are unlikely to be operating this far into the US Midwest in the middle of the Vampire War; not impossible, just unlikely.
This would require too much setup time.
The Whites could, whether Skavis or Malvora, so pencil them in as a possible.
Could also be Fae. Or evil sorcerer. Or random critter like a grendelkin or a baku-baku. Or a Fomor; coastal op.
Might even be a WoD native, not something from Dresdenfiles. No way to know yet.
Anyway.
We want to find out who runs the home, the staff rolls, and what company owns the retirement home.
And then what company owns that company, and so on. Who the ultimate shareholders are, and who actually sets policy.
We also want to get our hands on their morbidity and mortality report.
They do have to send in reports of resident deaths and reportable illnesses to the local and state health department, so getting our hands on it and comparing it to their peers will help.
Also, local police, fire and EMT department. And the 911 operators office.
If they are getting an unusual number of calls, or unusual type of calls, pertaining the home.
And finally a look at the obituary pages.
VOTE
[X] [Daedalus] Light, hack a few agents email accounts, get a feel for their basic procedures as well as more on how they see the supernatural. Also includes data on the Museum incident
[X] [Soul's Rest] Heavy, Try to get into the company financial data
REASON
Light on Daedalus.
This is a longterm surveillance project, and not currently time-sensitive, so its a good idea to take our time working our way in to discover our current limits and how good their security is, which will reduce the DCs of subsequent attempts to achieve greater penetration. We will be going up against federal law enforcement cybersecurity; we dont want to spook them without need.
Heavy on Souls Repose.
Its a private company, not law enforcement, and that limits how good the IT of a nursing home company based out of Ohio should be. Even failure would tell us something about the amount of effort they put into their cybersecurity, and who does it, which provides other avenues for investigation.
Plus, its probably time sensitive.
