Hipster Machine has left an exploration request for Nested Host discovered after a previous run uncovered it's ties to the Hand of Five, an old-school hate club that was active during the early days of Awakening. Recently, there have been rumors the Hand of Five has been revived under the leadership of a surviving member. Now operating a covert terrorist cell intent of inciting violence between the different metatypes. Mute and Twitch answer the call to explore this uncharted Host.
The duo met and ran some quick legwork on the history of the Hand of Five and their alleged end at the hands of Lone Star during the Night of Rage. Renting out a cheap safehouse in Tacoma, Mute and Twitch made themselves comfortable before diving into the Host. The host was styled a seething ball of infernal fire. Upon entry they found that a plethora of IC was on permanent patrol, each IC styled as post-apocalyptic motorcycles, trucks, and flaming dogs. The Nested Host to be explored was hidden at the back of the Mad Max hell-scape, and while Mute was successful in gaining entry to it, Twitch was not and was swiftly dogpiled by the IC. Inside the Nested Host, Mute discovered that this was a Rogue Foundation Host, probably a relic of pre-Crash 2.0 days, repurposed as a baited trap for nosy hackers. More IC lay in wait. Mute was able to evade the roaming IC long enough to find that the files stored were mostly incoherent data bombed red herrings. One file of note however was labelled as README. A hateful mantra of sorts, promising that Seattle would have the horrors of the Night of Rage revisited upon it on its anniversary. Disturbed by this, Mute copied the file to a commlink and made haste to get Twitch some well-needed medical attention.
Mute brought the file to the attention of Hipster Machine and the Mothers of Metahumans organization.

We got the file, Purkinje. First thing I did after I woke up is post it in NCL and on the SH host. I posted a warning too. That host is a trap. Don't go there again. If I'm better, I'll do all I can to stop these people. We can't let them make another Night of Rage. Oh? It's time for meds now. They're going to knock me out again. Someone tell my mom I'm fine. I can't bear to face her right now. I just know I'll let slip my condition.
