Exile on Main Street

[Ginrai]

Ginrai gets up and stretches before heading to the bathroom.  'If that dream meant what I think it does... ah, well, not like I actually expected to just get out of this mess at this point.'

After brushing his teeth, he heads over to the kitchen to get something to eat before going to the NES room and catch up on some of the older games.  Seeing that Dracos and Rez are already up, he says, "Hey, guys!  What's up?"

[Dracos]

"Zombies eating brains."

Dracos

[Rezantis]

"Heya, Ginrai.  Just trying to hammer out exactly what we know."

Rez turns back to Drac.

"What do you mean, third?  I thought there were only the Home Guard and the Forge . . . besides which there's Pax Arcana, Seventh Cabal . . . and if you believe Caber, there was a third faction who Ayame was originally the AI for - Order of Symmetry.  He said they got wiped out . . . if you believe him."

[Rezantis]

Rez smacks Drac upside the head.

"Serious!"

[Dracos]

"Ow, Sheesh."  Dracos rubbed his head.

"Well, that's who I'm referring to.  It could be the 'homeguard and the forge'
is one or both of those groups, but unlikely, in my opinion.  So, that is possibly another group or groups out there related to this.  And I'm not liable to trust Caber's word that they don't exist anymore.  It seems unlikely.  Regardless, he knows too much."

Dracos

[Rezantis]

"Mmm.  Someone mentioned that the Forge was a front for the seventh Cabal . . . but . . . haaaaangon.  Let me check something."

Rez finishes munching down that particular pocket, then takes the plate back into the lounge.

[Ginrai]

"I see...."

Ginrai shrugs and grabs a Hot Pocket as well as some orange juice.

[Rezantis]

Rez sticks his head back in.  

"Yeah, it was Ayame.  And bring your food out here?"

[Dracos]

Dracos walks out there, having already finished his food.

Dracos

[Rezantis]

"So, yeah.  Forge was, according to Ayame, pretty much a front for the Seventh Cabal.  Which would be -interesting- given that Caber, working for the seventh Cabal, was setting up some kind of distraction event on the March 30.  We can tentatively conclude that he's the guy who nuked Silicon Valley."

[Dracos]

"So...Caber's playing both sides against the middle?  Or did he switch teams?"

Dracos

[Rezantis]

"Well, he claimed to work for Pax, and just backstabbed the seventh cabal pretty thoroughly."

[Dracos]

"I think he's out for himself or working for someone completely different.  Anyhow..."

Dracos

[Huitzil]

Paul walks in, slowly dragging a hand across his face, obviously still about 7/8ths asleep. "We have any cereal?"

[Dracos]

"Cereal is for the WEAK!...And those who look in the cupboards."

Dracos
