Edge of Darkness, Aftermath - 400
Timestamp: 6.051.997.M41
Location: Coscarla Division, Tiergon Spire sub-levels, Northern Quadrant, Metropolitan Area, Hive Sibellus, Scintilla, Golgenna Reach
Situation: Salvaging the Saul Arbest investigation
Body: Maxi was not really in shape for anything except lying low, so it would be up to Haxtes to finish the part with the mercs. Ryker was not among the Alms House dead. He'd be over at the enforcer station. By now he should have found Haxtes' gift - Warden Locan sitting in his obscura-hazed office, his own heart in his hands...
Storming the House was out of the question of course. By his own estimates there were still several heavily armed men inside. So infiltration was in order. Ryker made it easier on Haxtes by killing one of his own to restore discipline, and then the remaining men spread out. One was captured alive and Ryker finally gave up when it dawned on him the situation was hopeless. more »
Edge of Darkness, part 3 - Confrontation
Timestamp: 6.050.997.M41
Location: Coscarla Division, Tiergon Spire sub-levels, Northern Quadrant, Metropolitan Area, Hive Sibellus, Scintilla, Golgenna Reach
Situation: Continuing investigations into the death of Saul Arbest
Body: We took turns at sitting guard. Nothing fancy, just staying away. We'd stuck closely to our cover, but we were not feeling too certain. And even if the 'Enforcers' believed our story they might decide to do something, just to be sure. So it would be a short night for the both of us, but nothing a stimm couldn't fix.
Almost too bad we did. Stay away that is. If we'd just slept through the night we might have avoided some of the rather unpleasant events that would follow. In the dark of night there was some commotion in the corridor. Ben roused Lil' Richard and they waited for the 'inevitable attack'. None came. Odd. Haxtes went into the corridor to have a look. Found some underhive scum robbing and gangraping another guest. Most unpleasant. more »
Edge of Darkness, part 2 - Investigation
Timestamp: 6.045.997.M41
Location: Coscarla Division, Tiergon Spire sub-levels, Northern Quadrant, Metropolitan Area, Hive Sibellus, Scintilla, Golgenna Reach
Situation: Conducting investigations in Coscarla Division
Body: Let's just cut to the chase; by now you should realize what a shitty little place Coscarla is and how unimportant the people who live there are. We don't need to keep repeating that. Nor do we need to remind you about the decay, the burnt-out buildings, the abandoned hab-blocks. You remember.
Checking out Saul's last known address seemed a promising start. The acolytes didn't go there directly of course, that might have aroused suspicion. Instead they wound up in hab-stack 717, quite a distance from the Southern Square with it's train station, market, and enforcer station. It sat almost at the border of no-man's land. Perhaps even a little over the border. more »

Edge of Darkness - Introduction
New Year's Eve came and went with a minimum of fuss. The Arbites never made a big deal out of it, and the Hand certainly didn't. Same with Jax and Eiron. There was a party of course, and trade was brisk in preparation, but nothing memorable. more »
Interlude - The Holy Work
Timestamp: 7.901.996.M41
Location: Kaidan Zone, Lower Mid-Tiers, Northern Quadrant, Metropolitan Area, Hive Sibellus, Scintilla, Golgenna Reach
Situation: Maintaining undercover ident in Hive Sibellus
Haxtes: Maintaining a facade as Jax Diiro, laid-off hab-worker returning from Hive Tarsus to greener pastures in Hive Sibellus. On his own initiative Haxtes procured a small amount of low-grade narcotics and started as a small-time drug dealer. He quickly secures himself a place to deal from, cutting the owner of a street cafe a piece of the action in return. There is also a girl, the obscura-smoking hooker Lucinda - she becomes something of a girlfriend, assistant, and spy for the local drug-lord. That being Mr.Severus, formerly an officer with the Hive Sibellus branch of the Departmento Magistratum (that being the law-enforcement/security division of the Adeptus Administratum). more »
