Summary
Wychking friggin' hates bugs and wants to keep exterminating them. This is totally not a surprise for anyone involved.
Background
Wychking's been officially in drug recovery from going overboard with an Aisa addiction that threatened to kill her with multi-organ failure. After she was discharged from Interpol, she was advised to look for something productive to keep her busy and in shape, leading her to eventually start a private investigator firm in Seattle. Her experiences with Invae didn't stay in the past as her searches led her first to roach nests, then wasp spirits. Eventually, her steady extermination of hives became enough of a problem for the greater Invae on Earth to take notice and they staged a trap for her during [Poking the Hornet's Nest]. The ambush succeeded and her mind was probed for information regarding Interpol. While she broke out of the hive and destroyed every last host inside of it, she had to inform Interpol immediately about the security breach and insisted they change all of their passcodes and codewords.
The Meet
The run begins with an ominous Interpol commlink message implying Wychking is in danger. She takes the warning to heart and notices a meeting place being arranged. She also makes a post on the ShadowHaven app for potential backup, but naturally it's scarce on details. Upon arriving to Taru's PI office in Everett, she advises they drive to the parking lot building in Tacoma where the meeting was pinged to happen, only informing the team that she used to work for Interpol and there might be something related to them in this case. Some of the team is suspicious but all follow suit. They find Oppenheimer, one of Taru's former squadmates looking extremely paranoid in a corner, insisting people remain quiet. He warns Taru of Anthrax, another Interpol team member from her past having gone off the deep end and becoming corrupted by Invae. Taru insists on testing him with insecticide, but believes his word for the time being and summons a spirit to look after him while he fetches some of his material from his current hideout. Taru returns to her lodge to hunker down and wait for him.
The Plan
- plan is to hunker down in lodge - almost dies from summons - Bannerette sets sensor systems - Ice does googles
The Run
- Interpol interrupts - full cordon surround - Bannerette tries evaccing, Wychking surrenders - interrogation occurs - Oppie was likely Compelled Deception, replacement mage - infuriated with Wychking's legacy, went bug shaman - shapeshifting, proof of her attacking others - alibi stands - given dossier which Ice expands on with searches - Wychking's fire spirit tracks her to Everett - Ice convinces her to evac - corps cadavres provided by Woedica storm the offices with Granddaughter - evac complete, bugs killed
Aftermath
- bugs mad, everyone's safe - runners' ID saved from recording thanks to Wychking's insistence on privacy
