# Note

- Ink Rakers, group of *people* rather than a hq
	- There is a printing shop where Ink Rakers

- **Score:** Extract the records Ink Rakers and learn more about the organization and why they're following
	- **Plan:** Deception
	- **Missing Detail:** found hq 
	- **Item Loadouts:** 
		- Crowl: Normal
		- Andrei: Light
		- Arden: Light
	- **Contacts:** Wraiths give info on blue coat patrols
	- **Engagement roll:** 3

- We get into position around the Printing House, capped woman talking over papers at their desk but bolted out upon seeing Arden enter
	- Tall building, for machinery and for people to have space
	- Center of building is for printers and large storage
	- Long hallways around building and creates office spaces

- Arden drops in a heavy order of artwork she wishes to be printed
	- Andrei is trying to unlock the door and hears a patter of footsteps and Crowl pulls out knives to prepare to stab
	- Crowl puts away one knife and just tells Andrei to leave the jammed tools and just get into the building as papparazzi pass by to find and capture Arden
	- Arden meets the print manager Tara Caldwell and wants to test out their services for flyers/posters
	- Tara throwing glances out a window over Arden's shoulder and hear occassional running footsteps
	- Used to paparazzi and asks to be taken in to a room or a tour to escape the paparazzi
	- Tara & Arden are front office

- Crowl & Andrei are in the back hallway
	- 4 doorways and hallway leads to door that connects to warehouse
	- One door has light coming out, the other is unoccupied
	- No fire safety escapes, city block spirit detectors
	- **Flashback:** Crowl has snuck in at night and scoped out where the documents were (2 stress)
	- Crowl steps into the exact area with the documents with a flashlight and my knife drops to the floor *loudly*
	- When the dagger drops, Andrei's working on spark powder in trashcan explosive goes off much sooner than expected, people start stomping out of the building
- Arden's tea cup jumps and asks if that's normal
	- Tara leaves anxiously to see what's going on and Arden escapes out of the room with her tea cup
	- Arden doesn't know if this situation is on purpose but knows it's her crew, returns to the corridors but not the office to listen in
	- Arden drops her tea cup and alerts the talking folks and they angrily lead her out of the building and into the paparazzi
	- Arden manages to sway the paparazzi away from the building and clear

- A man steps through the door and asks who we are and why we're here
	- Crowl knocks out the man but now there's a fire spreading
	- Crowl bolts into the room and rifles through the files to find the potential papers
	- Crowl looks through cabinets, but doesn't find anything about Silken Ties directly
	- Finds folder: The Ataraxis Protocol; light on info, but Leviathan Hunters researching something, acquire something powerful
	- Crowl steps back out to Andrei lighting a cigarette and we both stage a crime scene with the unconscious man as bait

- Crowl and Andrei escape out and we all rendevouz back
