	When she first began her rehab in Seattle, Taru ~~grew increasingly powerful,~~ her body ~~lagging~~ behind ~~with what her magic could accomplish~~. She made allies in powerful circles such as the likes of [[Orianna Cazador]] and even [[Kalanyr]] himself and equipped herself with cutting edge magical paraphernalia which she later upgraded into greater artifacts with Kalanyr's assistance. Despite this, she maintained a strong relationship with [[Adeptus]] and Pain ~~Girl~~, ~~her ally spirit~~ and stalwart companion on her crusade against Invae. ~~A hive of roaches and two~~ great ~~wasp~~ hives fell by her hand in Seattle~~, yet she further strengthened the ward around her private investigator's office~~ in ~~Everett and bound great spirits~~.		When she first began her rehab in Seattle, Taru's arcane strength returned but her body lagged behind. She made allies in powerful circles such as the likes of [[Orianna Cazador]] and even [[Kalanyr]] himself and equipped herself with cutting edge magical paraphernalia which she later upgraded into greater artifacts with Kalanyr's assistance. Despite this, she maintained a strong relationship with [[Adeptus]] and the [[Lady of Pain]], an avatar of a lesser death god sent forth from the underworld and stalwart companion on her crusade against Invae. Three great hives fell by her hand in Seattle in short order.

	A grave turning point was a job to investigate a cult blacksite in the Seattle Sprawl. Signs of demonic incursions were rampant, toxic background counts and eldritch tomes laden all over, Wychking came out of the job intact but burdened with an affliction - she heard muted, distant whispers inside of her mind. Exposure to forbidden knowledge tainted her soul and tempted her to tap into the power it promised. Between struggling to handle the extremely powerful dragon-crafted foci she wielded, the physical dependence on booze and drugs and now the cognitohazardous temptations in her head, Taru felt the burden of her years beginning to pull her once proud and upright posture downwards.

Between struggling to handle the extremely powerful dragon-crafted foci she wielded, the physical dependence on booze and drugs and now the cognitohazardous temptations in her head, Taru felt the burden of her years beginning to pull her once proud and upright posture downwards.

	Eventually, however, she managed to fight off her addictions after years of struggling and completely purged her body of withdrawals and urges to take any substances. Her actions against the Elder God cult in Providence and Seattle earned her the ire of the '''Burned Man,''' the last survivor of the dark cult. ~~His assault on~~ her ~~lodge led~~ her ~~to losing~~ her ~~lofty manor~~, ~~yet Taru feels more liberated than ever, feeling like she~~'s ~~rid herself~~ of some of her ~~personal demons~~. ~~These new astral threats are grave~~, ~~but~~ she ~~intends~~ to ~~leave them~~ to ~~specialist professionals. When her mind~~ is ~~compromised and it leads her further astray, this is easier said than done. Wychking is healthier and~~ more ~~straightforward~~, ~~but~~ her ~~journey to conquer herself~~ and ~~her circumstances are far from over. The timing couldn't be worse when she's besieged by vengeful survivors and madmen, not to mention~~ the ever-present threat of Invae ~~rearing its head the second she relents~~ her ~~hunt~~.		Eventually, however, she managed to fight off her addictions after years of struggling and completely purged her body of withdrawals and urges to take any substances. Her actions against the Elder God cult in Providence and Seattle earned her the ire of the '''Burned Man,''' the last survivor of the dark cult. When she tracked him down in Finland, Taru dreamed - or perhaps hallucinated - a vision of her late love forgiving her for what happened all those years ago. It was a weight off her shoulders and for over a year, Wychking dwelt in Erika's ranks performing corporate security and reinforcing the company's procedures against insect infiltration.

			When she re-emerged in the shadow business, it was with a foreboding kind of magic of black flame, iron and grim fatalism. Her attempts to contain the spirit of a folk legend into a suitable weapon backfired, trapping some malevolent scrap of her subconscious in an axe. What was meant to be Lalli, the berserk peasant of Köyliönjärvi, instead became something profane that she couldn't explain. Trying to complete her original mission to find more information about S-K's efforts to subvert Erika's control of Finland is all the more complicated now that she has to contest with the cognitohazardous temptations of forbidden knowledge, an unknown malice in her cursed axe and the ever-present threat of Invae loathing her as much as they loathe Ares.

	In a few choice cases, the IID was reported to have burned down entire rural villages down to the last soul, considering them unsalvageable. They were given undisputed authority once the presence of insect spirits was confirmed, but prior to that piece of information their actions were highly scrutinized and limited. As a result, they often were relentless in chasing trails and intimidating locals into giving up anyone and anything to be rid of the IID's harassment. To captured victims of insect shamans, however, they were uncompromisingly protective and more often than not put themselves in harm's way if the alternative was to let innocents die to the Invae. '''Wychking, Napalm, Agent Orange, Oppenheimer, Anthrax, Hollowpoint and Cluster''' were the codenames that the team had, and while she wasn't the most well known of the members, Taru's imposing physique and wide Slash spells cutting swathes of insect spirits down are easily recognizable.
