Nice bit of back story. Dorothea's inspired by Dolly the cloned sheep I presume  :D

Yes, Doctor Wilmut is explicitly based on the real-life Dolly.

You should take the drunk to the hospital. I was thinking we could meet everybody up there for the next Act.

Emilena just stole a bunch of files on the families of known Augments. Perhaps this hospital could operate mainly on cybernetic issues, and so Adrian and Emilena investigate because many of the individuals on the hit list were treated there; many for injuries reminiscent of attempted murders.

The clothing store Lily bought the boots from could be next door. It could our first opportunity to maybe unite the two plot threads somehow.

GENIUS!
That and maybe have Marita start digging on Adrian and Emilena.  Doesn't do well to not know who you're working with, right?

Emilena's phone was left in the strip club with her clothes. Her only possession at the moment is her heirloom katana.

^Or they could take this as an easy chance to write off one of their biggest liabilities.  No contact from Emilena+Fire= Oh, she was KIA.

Hmm. I'll have Soren find something odd about the recent repairs he did when he enters the data on a job he gets; the damage to the augments looks deliberate and he's seeing people who shouldn't have had their external augments damaged so badly ó people like bankers, computer techs,  etc.

As for Anne "Nitro" Phoe...I'm also at a loss how to introduce her. I planned to have her go rooting through the remains of Soren's workshop ó she's so high that she doesn't car that broad daylight is not a good time to go looting. But I'm open to other ideas.

I'm at a loss as to how to get Sanjay Bhat into the picture; he's currently in a crappy truck stop taking a piss behind some bushes.

As for Aaron, I'm trying to see how I can get him to be a Purifier.

Side note, Anne and Sanjay are "public domain" characters.

Anne I could see showing up at the hospital after *another* injury, while Sanjay...hmm...perhaps the snake grows a conscience and shows back up instead of running?

Sanjay can also be dropped from the roleplay if you don't want to play him any more, Serris.

Alternately, he gets kidnapped right about now, and later in the roleplay as things heat up, the protagonists discover him as a prisoner of the shadowy group trying to kill/capture all of them.

Hmm. A kidnapping for him sounds perfect!

Having the two groups meeting sounds awesome. I wonder how Emilena would react to seeing Soren...

For re-introducing Aaron, I'll probably have Marcus start to bleed out from the cut in his arm (which is much deeper than he thought) while he's running from the police around the club. Maybe Aaron could help him out in some way, and somehow bring up his attitude towards augmented people?

I've decided to step up and take a second character!

Name:  Yoshihiro Kojuuro.  ((Note: Name follows Japanese order, so Kojuuro is his first name))

Age: 40

Species: Hokkaido Wolf

Gender: Male

Augmentations:  Biological alterations, enhancing speed and strength to higher levels than average beings.  Armor suit further increases his strength and defensive capability.

Appearance:  Grey fur, with significant fading from age, with bright blue eyes.  Favors a military-style outfit with significant armor plating, including a large number of straps and extra equipment pockets.  Wears a black Kevlar coat over the armor.  Black tactical mask on his face, covering it in it's entirety, save for his eyes.

Biography:  Kojuuro made a living as a mercenary, taking any contract that would pay until he was assigned to a mercenary firm that was working abroad, in an "anti-terrorist" operation.  Assigned to shepherd a unit of conscripted child soldiers, his entire squad save for one boy were wiped out by a set of Strain.  After returning home, he abandoned the mercenary lifestyle, drifting aimlessly until joining the Purifiers for a brief time.  However, when he was asked to participate in a terror attack on an augment facility, he left the group, and began staunchly opposing them.  

Notes:  Carries an
SL-8 Sniper rifle, a High-Frequency broadsword, and dual pistols.

Sounds like a cool character, Starfall  :) I wonder if the boy who survived grew up to be someone we've already met...

Did we leave any way for Marita to contact Adrian and Emilena? If not, she has no way of decoding the files Emilena found. I mentioned that Emilena recognized the files' code, so if need be, she can just decrypt them. They need to be read to point the pair in the direction of the hospital for tomorrow.
