Summary
A member of Neo-Haven, The Phantom, stole a scepter from the Seattle Metro History Museum that was on loan from King Midas. He challenged Trash Panda to pull off a similar heist by putting the scepter back and discovering what he had left in the pedestal beneath.
KE was actively investigating the theft, and supporting the museum's security.
The runners successfully returned the scepter without being caught, and found a new ally.
Background
The Shadowhaven runners knew that Neo-Haven was collecting pieces of a trident that was a 4th world relic.
Tension between the Shadowhaven and Neo-Haven had been escalating. On 4/20, Shadowhaven runners had killed three Neo-Haven runners, in an unnecessary act of violence. On 4/21, Neo-Haven infiltrated the Shadowhaven chat, using Janitor Dan's drone Monica, and violating the privacy of the Shadowhaven runners from 4/20-5/24. Z3K3 from Shadowhaven was investigating the infiltration. Neo-Haven assassinated him.
The Phantom warned KE of when he would be stealing the scepter. He called himself MT:TP (Master Thief: The Phantom) and was recorded by journalists at the time of the announced heist, both declaring his name and calling out a challenge to a 'good friend'. His cape had the Neo-Haven number 862 and 865, suggesting a magic/physical adept.
This was a challenge to Trash Panda.
Trash Panda and Flow were visiting Moth when the news story broke. Not long after, Moth received a delivery of a mysterious package. It was her father's scepter, but with one jewel removed. And a note "XX".
Moth reached out to [[Professor Marvell] to investigate, who confirmed that the missing jewel was part of the Trident of Atlantis, and was sought by the Atlantean Foundation, an affilitate of the Dunkelzahn Institute for Magical Research, associated with the Draco Foundation. Several dragons want this Trident. It is said to open the path to Atlantis, and provide control over sea creatures.
The jewel can be tracked from the resonance of the scepter. The jewel has the aura of a powerful Atlantean artificer.
The scepter is called 'The Queen's Scepter'. It is a 5th world relic from England. Solid gold. Associated with Queen Victoria.
The Meet
Moth, Trash Panda, and Flow reached out to Twitch and Dandy to help. They all met at Moth's house.
Moth explained the background. They needed to go to the museum, replace the scepter, and find out what was in the pedestal before KE did.
The team wanted to also track down the jewel, and the Phantom. They didn't want to escalate the war between Shadowhaven and Neo-Haven, that they had just learned had begun with Shadowhaven violence. They planned - if possible - to track the Phantom to his home and prank him by stealing all of his stuff, and putting it in a high-story storage unit where he could recover it, and cashing in on the related insurance money when the Phantom got his stuff back.
Moth called her papa and explained all they had learned. He agreed that he did not want a jewel sought by dragons back. He provided a replica jewel to restore the scepter.
