+[[Caliban]] takes a deep breath, taps into the woman's data jack, and releases her memory of Human Malice. It lives and rots inside her, always, a bloody ocean speckled with meat absent form or life, and its waves crash along the shorelines of her conscious. They are impossible to direct - though she does try. Hana is a prisoner tied to its shore, and though she receives memory and feeling and living experience of humanity's most despicable acts toward one another, there are some very few Caliban chooses to be her focus.

			[[Bunny Hop]] happens to still have the keys to her old apartment, though the building has in some very few months been relegated to squatters and SINless in the midst of condemnation and contested deeds. The room in question, just a small suite, is kept pristine by programmed lights flipping on and off, and an electrified doorknob for those without the hacking skill to disable it.

			Once inside, the restrained Hana Hot Hands is thrown to the ground, and [[Bunny Hop\|Akiha]] given free reign to begin her question. Her breath comes ragged, the beat of her heart like a dissonant waveform to the girl she'd like to be. [[Bunny Hop\|Koichi Kurosawa]], the shategashira's oldest son, the boy in the suit and a true blue Yakuza, darkly slips a shock glove onto his palm.

			He waits for her to wake, slips his palm around her throat, and lets electricity flow. His satisfaction is hollow. It doesn't warm her, the girl inside, like he hoped it might. [[Oberon]], from the distant background, casually offers that interrogations generally go better when you don't start with the head.

			"You were a Halloweener."

			"Yeah," Hana concedes, woozy, "I knew this was coming some day."

			[[Bunny Hop]] asks plainly if she remembers anything about one particular hit on one particular day, fourteen years ago now. Hana does not remember, and is not inclined to try. She tells Koichi, Akiha, Bhop, to just kill her, since that's what's obviously on her mind. In a flash of rage, [[Akiha]] lunges to grip her again before being stopped short. [[Caliban]] holds her wrist.

			"I- I can show you, i- if you do not o- otherwise remember," she states plainly to their hostage. And then, turning to [[Bunny Hop\|Akiha]], "I- If you w- will allow me."

			She hesitates. She accedes. [[Caliban]] takes a deep breath.

			"Th- This will h- ''hurt'' you more th- than it does m- me."

			[[Caliban]] takes a deep breath, taps into Hana's data jack, and releases the memory of Human Malice.

Yakuza or Triad, the idea is the same. [[Caliban]] flinches at the sight of the source for so many of her borrowed lives and deaths.

			The four are all in agreement - Harry Hot Hands or not, the operation needs to be stopped.

			[[Bunny Hop]] calls in a favor from [[Angelica FILL THIS IN LATER LOOK UP HER LAST NAME OH GOD IT STARTS WITH A C RIGHT?]] and the [[Knights Hospitaller]]. It's a tall order - a haven for a hundred human chattel and a ritualist skilled enough to undo their ink besides, but she believes the [[Knights Hospitaller\|Knights]] are up to the task. She arranges a surreptitious drop point and tells the rabbit that she will be in touch.

			[[Red Ribbon]] rolls out the big guns, while [[Oberon]] prepares for a rough entry. [[Caliban]] in the host, and [[Bunny Hop]] for support. [[Red Ribbon\|Ribbon]] breaks the silence with a deafening round, and [[Oberon]], having scaled the building's side, bursts through a window into one of the hidden, black box rooms. He finds the obvious - mages, needles, beds, ink, and terrified, half-tattoo'd victims. Blows immediately fly - while ground forces try and fail to determine the source for [[Red Ribbon]]'s shots (or at least the ones that aren't tied to treads on the street outside), [[Caliban]] eagerly bricks deck and brain alike for the one user online at the facility.

			Despite a point blank fireball, the infiltration is ultimately a success. With groaning and dead triads on the ground, [[Bunny Hop]] calls [[Angelica]] again and arranges their drop off. They're happy to oblige, good deed done before the brutality that comes next.
