Summary
The bugs strike back at Wychking, luring her into a trap. Eventually falling in an overwhelming ambush, Wychking is captured and interrogated, her deepest secrets revealed to her enemy. Before being bugged though, she manages to break out with the aid of her ally spirit, Pain Girl, and escape. Now, she plots revenge.
Background
Wychking, world-famous bug slaying mage, has been rebuilding herself after her fall from Interpol. Regaining her magical strength and returning to the spotlight, she had become a target that her enemies could no longer ignore. An ambitious young Nymph decided it was time to strike back at the woman who had done so much to destroy their kind. Studying Wychking's public persona, her recent actions, and collected materials, she began to craft a plan to gather critical intelligence and perhaps take down one of the Invae's most notable foes.
The Meet
Wychking was spending her time as she normally did, meditating to strengthen her rage and resolve, in a very healthy use of mental energy. Eventually though, she was interrupted by knocking on her front door. A PI on the side, it seems that a potential client had arrived. Zina Perez, a tired looking ork woman, suspected her husband of infidelity and wanted Wychking to investigate and find out the truth. Zina, through tears, she told Wychking what she had uncovered.
Her husband, Martin, worked security at a retail complex and had been away more than usual, claiming to work night shifts. Emotionally distant and closed off, it didn't end there. Looking through his purchase records, she saw that her husband had been buying gifts, for someone. Gathering up her savings, the woman wanted closure, answers to what her husband had been up to.
Taking the job, Wychking tried to get the woman to not offer more money than she could afford to pay, and then left to start gathering clues.
