General Summary

Diene 18th, 1870

Night, Barrogate, Pier 6 Vicinity

Theo Osborne, Phineas I. Corwen and Commander Artemis Ashton head to Barrogate to scout the location of Pier 6 (Warehouses 12 & 13) that is currently rented by MossTech, an obviously shell company with ties to Frostring Corporation,

They find out that there are 4 groups of guards (3 guards each) with armor and submachine guns. At the balcony, there was a guard post with a machine gun, through the skyline, we can reach the warehouse part. Theo thinks that between warehouse 12 and 13 that is Linus Jesse Carton .

Having triggered an alarm the team tries to flee by jumping from the building they were to one opposite to it over a road. Artemis sets a grappling hook and she and Phineas cross. Theo falls from the zip line and crushes his jaw into the stone wall, then falls the rest of the way and breaks his leg. (4 stories high)

Theo tries to run away from the guards and the third member of the patrol stops him with his rifle raised.

Phineas having run down the stairs now in front of the door to the next building. Theo tries to go to Phineas limping. The guard asks Theo to stop with his weapon raised. Phineas shoots the guard dead and retrieves Theo. Artemis finds them and they make their hasty escape

Night, Stormwath, Annabell's

Ortis & Priscilla meet for their date at Annabell's

Priscilla learns that Ortis had to settle some affairs and that he has almost completely finished doing so.

She also learns he was in an undercover mission, that was feeding information to the Imperial Navy.He i snot sure if he going back to the field, him staying depends on what will keep him here. He was in the capital of the Kelean Mandate. When Priscilla asks him about Countess Morgana Cornelia Selina Beaumont , his eye is twitching. He says “it’s not every day the love of her life comes back to life” but says she was not the love of his life in return.

Morgana was apparently engaged to him but only two people knew of this and Ortis calls her out on her calling it a “rumour”. Ortis says he doesn't care that Morgana has moved on but Priscilla thinks he's not telling the truth.

Ortis and Priscilla, walk out on the Stormwatch wall park and while they do, kiss,
Ortis keeps rubbing at a red/brown spot on the ground repeatedly and looks back at it once they leave. They go to Barrogate Island to Ortis' house and Priscilla puts a drop of a Yun perfume that is supposed to "seduce and bring down a whole court" but Ortis' reaction is violent pinning her against the wall and saying "You will pay for all that she's done" and starts biting Priscilla's neck until he draws blood. He takes his belt and is about to hurt her but she casts an illusion of hands coming out of the floor and faces of Morgana and he hits those instead. Priscilla makes her escapes down the stairs to the street. He follows her to the Barrogate Arena and attacks the men that try to protect her and forcefully takes Priscilla until she faints - she wakes up to Sergeant Kyle Thomson having saved her from his and he says "The Captain has been dealt with, he is unconscious".

Kyle and Priscilla return to the Cove and meet with Theo, Phineas and Artemis at Sheila's medical bay
