Diego grins, "I'm up for anything. I mean I don't think we'd be exactly skulking about. No reason we couldn't just be pursuing brain-in-a-jar on our own right? I mean, I was thinking we were going to do that even before Valor suggested it, weren't you too Vitrius?"

Vitrius nods
"Too many things didn't add up. I would have needed to investigate regardless, just so I didn't get caught unprepared."

He leaves of the implied "...again"

"Excellent. I have a friend, someone I know that I...we...can trust. I'll give you his contact information. He's an agent at a Colton and Praxis PR firm. He can take your call at anytime and avoid suspicion, make up whatever story you want if you need to, he does it all, book deals to scandal mitigation. He can get your message to me and I'll respond as quickly as I can. But don't be afraid to reach out to me directly if we meet in the field. We've been on TV together now so we are acquainted."

"We should have some code words, something you can tell people you've vetted, so that we know that they know everything and vice versa"
May 12, 2019 3:54 am
Valor thinks for a minute, then says, "OK...what would that be then? And they...just say it to you?

"It doesn't make a big difference, as long as we're not likely to use it accidentally. Ours will be valiant sloth, yours will be giant cheetah. If you send someone to us who you trust and have let in on the investigation, tell them to tell us your code word, and the same applies vice versa. If people you send don't use the code word, we'll assume they can't be trusted with investigation materials."

Echo thinks it over. Other than the code words being a little ridiculous, at least in her opinion, it wasn't a bad idea.

I don't want to rush anyone, if you have any other questions or ideas for this part of the story, by all means continue, but I have reached a good stopping point in my mind. The only thing left to really do is hash out the code word plan and to say goodnight.

Oh and also, need rolls from you all to gauge your standings. Roll for Rapport, a Contacts, and a Resources. Fate Points can be spent, as usual, but there aren't any additional scene Aspects to invoke.

Vitrius: Your Rapport roll is at a 2 difficulty. People on Twitter are complaining about how you jammed up the highway with your chase, and still managed to let the truck and Slapshot get away. Your Contacts difficulty is 1, you seem to have 'borrowed' a lot of glass from the city. You may have put it back, but the fact you took it is upsetting some people. Resources roll is a 0 difficulty, you looked good out there and your benefactors are happy, if not excited.

El Toro: Your Rapport roll is difficulty 1. The people seem suitably impressed, but some are saying you weren't active enough, and Slapshot did get away. Your Contacts roll is also a 1 difficulty as the city workers aren't happy or buying the accidental damages angle. Resource roll is at 0.

Echo: Your Rapport roll is at a 3. There is a lot of backlash over the exposed flesh, coupled with the fact Slapshot got away and you personally were the one to take him down. Contacts roll is at a 0 difficulty as you didn't seem to be responsible for any damage to the city. Your Resource roll is also a 0 difficulty...the corporate guys see any press as good press it would seem.

"Fair enough. Go home and get some rest. You've earned it today. I will have my friend contact you tomorrow. Now...back to the TV station? Street level?" He hands you each a business card with the Colton & Praxis logo. The name on the card is Hansen Jeffrey. Then he prepares to teleport you back to the television station.
