			"Anything that earns someone their freedom is an absolute good in my book. Granted, life under the Ordo can be less free then one hopes for, but I'm living testament to how long of a leash they are willing to give to those in their employ. And Cynthia surely is a piece of work"

	==Background==		==Background==
	Emilia de Vries is an ongoing project of the ~~EVO~~ corporation. Some biological experiments into new avenues for bioware development. Luckily for her, she's kept on a long leash. Weekly check-ins, more of a parole officer situation than being in lockdown. Recently, however, Emilia has gone AWOL, missing her last checkup and disappearing from her usual spots. The corporation believes that she is in bed with a local magical group, The Circle of the Rose. The Circle keeps it's headquarters in the upper region of the Ork Underground, and is comprised of about a dozen members, of varying degrees of magical ability.

	==The Meet==		==The Meet==
	The meet is downtown, in a nice bar. Ms. J is a well dressed, athletic ork woman. First to arrive is Setter, an incomparable beauty, even amongst Dryads. Second is Wrath, who, having heard the job is corporate in nature, has arrived already predisposed against the Johnson and the mission, on a conceptual level. She is well covered (to hide her spiky bone growths), and dressed informally, sweats and the like. She even asks for some fancy wine to run up the J's budget, just a little bit. Doggie Bag arrives last, well dressed and polite. He does, however, quickly realize that this is likely an ~~EVO~~ job. As an ~~EVO~~ SINner, who is not currently on great terms with his mother corp, this is a point of pretty strong anxiety.		The meet is downtown, in a nice bar.

As an Evo SINner, who is not currently on great terms with his mother corp, this is a point of pretty strong anxiety.

	The Job as proposed is relatively simple. Emilia de Vries is a walking bioware experiment gone rogue. She is believed to reside in the upper levels of the Ork Underground in the arms of a magical group called the Circle of Roses. Not much is clear about the Circle or its' nature, but the pay is good and the timeline relatively flexible. Being staunchly anti-corporate, Wrath makes a strong point to say that she wants the liberty to decline the job after initial legwork is complete. Surprisingly enough, the Johnson gives us 24hrs to investigate and decide for ourselves.		The Job as proposed is relatively simple. Emilia de Vries is a walking bioware experiment gone rogue.

	Wrath's Watcher spirit finds Emilia de Vries in transit, just outside of a local OU bar. The team assenses her: initially, they find her to be a healthy, relaxed mage, with a solid magic score. Later on, they'd be able to pierce her mask and identify her as not just astrally perceiving, but dual natured, as she is in fact a Vampire. In terms of getting up close, the best candidate is obviously the charismatic Setter. She approaches, claiming to be a new awakened (a fact that is not ''exactly'' the truth, but not a lie either) looking for guidance. She sets the seeds for Emilia to introduce her to the Circle of the Rose, and Emilia takes the bait. It is clear after some time that Setter's stunning looks and natural glamour are heavily assisting in this endeavor, but that Emilia is also happy to introduce another wayward soul to her Coven.

	Arriving at the Coven property, Emilia demonstrates their strong magical security proceedings as she has Setter "whitelisted" onto their outer Ward. Once inside, Setter is able to determine that most or all of the Circle members are Vampires and/or Magicians. She continues innocently questioning Emilia, who is happy to give the basic details. The Circle is not a strictly moral group, but neither are they cold blooded killers. Trying to survive, forced to feed, they feed on those they deem more deserving of it, but aren't ''too'' stringent. Sylvia, the coven leader, made a natural connection to Emilia in their shared circles, and was genuinely offering her safe harbor and a new support network. ~~EVO~~ would not allow any other group to be involved like that, and as such, Emilia felt forced to flee.

	After some time, but before Setter can get any further quagmired with the group, the runners outside try for a bold play. They message Emilia, mostly honestly recounting the situation, and ask for a meetup. Unsure of what's to come, Wrath and DB prepare for a potential brawl.

They message Emilia, mostly honestly recounting the situation, and ask for a meetup. Unsure of what's to come, Wrath and DB prepare for a potential brawl.

	After arriving, the team gets the full scoop on the Circle and how Emilia came to be a member. It is clear that what she really wants at this point is to retain her agency and relationship with this newfound group, which is able to uniquely support her as a vampiric creature with difficult needs. The team is reticent to bag her for ~~EVO~~, thinking that they stand little to gain from the situation and having a general distaste for the type of lockdown she'd presumably be put under. They discuss privately over DNI, and even attempt to revise a plan to fake Emilia's death a few times. Ultimately, the long arms of ~~EVO~~ are just too long for her to go fully free. As a more realistic option, they propose she change hands, live under a more infected 'friendly' regime. She is intrigued, and more than happy to have a similar hands-off research agreement with a similar overarching force, as long as she is given the liberty to remain with the Coven.

	Doggie Bag steps aside, and calls Cynthia Rochette. She picks up, and he gives her the full report, holding nothing back. He explains that the Ordo might have some interest in this apparently infected related augmentation study, and that the Circle could even be a positive connection to pull on later down the line. Somewhere to pull from if need be. Cynthia is happy to extend a similar deal that ~~EVO~~ had previously made, provided that the Circle as a whole be willing to report on their surroundings as they pertain to the magical and infected related events in the area.

	Giving the offer back to them, the Circle is not unhappy to forge this kind of connection. While it is potentially dangerous, even a loose relationship to Ordo is meaningful. Provides them with protection and perhaps information of their own, someone invested in their success, as it were. Wrath is extremely zealous about the idea, Doggie Bag is relatively optimistic, and Setter isn't ''exactly'' sure who we've just signed our new friend off to.

	With the team having sown the seeds for a quiet weaseling out of the job, they do so, bothering their ~~EVO~~ Johnson quite a bit, but not technically reneging on any agreement. Cynthia sends some hands from Ordo Maximus for the final negotiations with Emilia and the rest of the Coven, and to gather initial information about the research contained within Emilia's body.

	==The Run==		==The Run==
	Wrath's Watcher spirit finds Emilia de Vries in transit, just outside of a local OU bar. The team assenses her: initially, they find her to be a healthy, relaxed mage, with a solid magic score. Later on, they'd be able to pierce her mask and identify her as not just astrally perceiving, but dual natured, as she is in fact a Vampire. In terms of getting up close, the best candidate is obviously the charismatic Setter. She approaches, claiming to be a new awakened (a fact that is not exactly the truth, but not a lie either) looking for guidance. She sets the seeds for Emilia to introduce her to the Circle of the Rose, and Emilia takes the bait. It is clear after some time that Setter's stunning looks and natural glamour are heavily assisting in this endeavor, but that Emilia is also happy to introduce another wayward soul to her Coven.

In terms of getting up close, the best candidate is obviously the charismatic Setter.

She sets the seeds for Emilia to introduce her to the Circle of the Rose, and Emilia takes the bait. It is clear after some time that Setter's stunning looks and natural glamour are heavily assisting in this endeavor, but that Emilia is also happy to introduce another wayward soul to her Coven.

	Arriving at the Coven property, Emilia demonstrates their strong magical security proceedings as she has Setter 'whitelisted' onto their outer Ward. Once inside, Setter is able to determine that most or all of the Circle members are Vampires and/or Magicians. She continues innocently questioning Emilia, who is happy to give the basic details. The Circle is not a strictly moral group, but neither are they cold blooded killers. Trying to survive, forced to feed, they feed on those they deem more deserving of it, but aren't too stringent. Sylvia, the coven leader, made a natural connection to Emilia in their shared circles, and was genuinely offering her safe harbor and a new support network. EVO would not allow any other group to be involved like that, and as such, Emilia felt forced to flee.

	After some time, but before Setter can get any further quagmired with the group, the runners outside try for a bold play. They message Emilia, mostly honestly recounting the situation, and ask for a meetup. Unsure of what's to come, Wrath and DB prepare for a potential brawl.

	Doggie Bag steps aside, and calls Cynthia Rochette. She picks up, and he gives her the full report, holding nothing back. He explains that the Ordo might have some interest in this apparently infected related augmentation study, and that the Circle could even be a positive connection to pull on later down the line. Somewhere to pull from if need be. Cynthia is happy to extend a similar deal that EVO had previously made, provided that the Circle as a whole be willing to report on their surroundings as they pertain to the magical and infected related events in the area.

	Giving the offer back to them, the Circle is not unhappy to forge this kind of connection. While it is potentially dangerous, even a loose relationship to Ordo is meaningful. Provides them with protection and perhaps information of their own, someone invested in their success, as it were. Wrath is extremely zealous about the idea, Doggie Bag is relatively optimistic, and Setter isn't exactly sure who we've just signed our new friend off to.
