Summary

A book from the Pinehurst Memorial Library goes missing from a shipment, and when the nature of the book scares both the mages of the library and Monica Faulkner, help is called in to find out where the book has gone. A search of Seattle leads to a bloody trail and an insipid ritual that is interrupted for the better.

Background

Monica Faulkner is going over a latest import of rare books from overseas; some look promising like they hold actual magica knowledge, though others not as much. yet, when one goes missing, a "A talk of Blood and carrapce - Linny Zweig, 1891". Given the nature of the books title and it now going missing, she hires runners to look into its disapearance. Monica and the others of the library believe in "Securing knowledge, Containing knowledge, and Protecting Knowledge" instead of destroying that which they find dangerous, so they wish for the book to be returned for it to be studied and handed off to a magical university run by the likes of Schwartzkopf, or even the Draco Foundation, for safekeeping.

The Meet

Monica mentions to the team the nature of the missing book and the danger of its knowledge. The only problem is, she doesn't know yet if the book contains actual knowledge related to blood magic, or if its a dud book just pretending to be so. The problem though is even if the knowledge inside is fake, people could act on it with the wrong intentions anyway. So, hiring the team of literal misfits to look into it, they all agree while butting heads with each other. 6 K to delete the problem and make sure nobody can use it for evil, or extra if they manage to bring the book back.
