Lyra keeps an eye on the Cold trader and his goons while Grendel works on tracking down information on Folstrom, Earlâ€™s magistrate, and Mira gets a sudden awakening from Jon. [20:59]  She makes her way to Mockingbirdâ€™s quarters to meditate while the Justicar brings the van around to the motor pool. Grendel finds alot of information on Folstrom; he is quite the public figure, well known in the hive for numerous high-profile cases. The Tech-Priest can even devise his probable schedule for the following week with good efficiency and precision. [20:59]  A report is given to Inquisitor Jex, who presses the acolytes to keep searching for answers concerning the Gloom Haunt. Meanwhile Jon appears trapped in the motor pool; his lack of clearance got him escorted to some small cell where he croaks for hours before Mira manages to get the paperwork done in good order. [20:59]  In search for more concreted information, Mockingbird and Justicar Wake returns to interrogate Earl, who is all the contrary of what he was a day ago, surprisingly resists to the questioning. Grendel is brought onboard to hopefully manage to â€˜convinceâ€™ the crime lord that cooperating is in his best interest.+++ [20:59]  ++++++++End Transmission++++++++ [21:01] * @Mira stays in her spot leaning on the wall, going over information on her slate and adding new elements as they come up.
