[X]STUNT: You take a breath."You're gonna need your own people who know the city; anything that survived Samuel is probably sus. In which case..."You consider for a moment, caste mark brightening, then meet Harrowmont's eyes. "Exile the Red Court." The words come easily to your lips. "Because they are anthropophages. Because their absence would significantly shrink the human trafficking trade, and the need to cover it up. Because there's probably other local Reds and half-Reds that she" you nod over to the unconscious Sandra, under the guns of some of your soldiers "left programming in. Not all, but some. And its more trouble than its worth to go checking." You pause for a moment to frown as additional medical supplies are taken to Hand of Ash, then continue. "Not that this is a Red Court plot, mind; doesnt appear to have the Red King's sanction, at least. But the Red Court's current policies make them a demonstrated Outsider vector in a city established to keep the Outside outside, and their absence would make your life much easier in multiple ways." You nudge the head on the floor with an armored boot. "And since the local Reds are currently drastically weakened, it should be a lowrisk way to demonstrate authority upon your accession without risking a confrontation." "So a scapegoat?" Harrowmont half-states, half-asks, squinting at you. You shrug in response."If you want to call it that. You have a window of opportunity, and a causus belli. Seize the late Dragon's personal assets for his involvement - trust me, you're gonna need the money - but as long as you leave the Red Court's corporate assets alone, you should actually get credit for a restrained response." The medic looks up from Ash, catches your eye, and gives a thumbs up, and a tension you didnt realize you felt eases away as you return your full attention to Harrowmont."First though, you're gonna need to talk to the Feds. Because an ongoing state of emergency means no tourists, and the ongoing flow of tourists is critical to the city's mortal and supernatural economy, and to a...."you wave your hands "general state of normalcy."
