Summary

Sandalphon hires Hotdog to nab some details on the Unseelie Fae. Turns out, the situation turns out to be more grim than anyone thought. As the information drip feeds back to Sandalphon, they realize that S3I is a part of the picture, now, too.

Background

An ongoing conflict between an Unseelie Fae and S3I. See the events of Amhrain na Preachain for more details.

The Meet

Hotdog meets the secretary for Sandalphon, Khettabvwy. Khett explains that they're actually going to a secondary location to privately talk. During the conversatiun, Hottdog focusses on trying to act like a good potential hire, and it rubs off on them well. Given the situation, Hotdog is hired to investigate the two bars for any weird looking white-haired golden-eyed people.

The Plan

Hotdog manages to find a hotel to rest off some wounds from summoning earlier, and plans to go to the Helldiver in the morning.

The Run

Once at the Helldiver, Hotdog looks around for people. Trying not to blow their cover, they investigate with multiple people including the bartender. Some questioning later reveals info about the bar and some of the people there. Including, one red-haired person who looked awfully familiar.

Hotdog approached and started to flirt with 'Emily' who worked for a military PMC during the day. The two hit it off and multiple social checks and talks later provided a situation where Hotdog was invited to yet another secondary location. Hotdog went with Emily to the Copper Drake.

At the Copper Drake, Em said she wanted to nab a drag, so she lit one for herself and pressed the butt of her and Hottdog's cigs together to light them both. Her and Hottdog had a good smoke, but then Hottdog entered only to be unwittingly tricked by fae glamor.

During the conversation inside, it was tense as the Pixy Squad hideout was potentially revealed, but the team there was pacified after Hottdog diffused the situation. Dodging a sudden end to their career, Hotdog continued to talk and made her way back to Sandalphon, having fulfilled her half of the bargain.

Aftermath

Sandalphon reveals herself to be a Fae to Hotdog and wants them to have a working relationship. Hotdog declines to join the Stilrays or Telestrian, however offers to do with for pay as a mercenary. Sandalphon, and by extension Telestrian, gains the following info:

• Where Pixy Squad operates from
• The short upcoming plans for Pixy Squad
• The fact that Thomas Warloff's identity has been compromised
• That Pixy Squad is actively targeting S3I
