The Message#

Nikita notices bloody scratch marks on her left forearm. “COME BELLOW”

Prospect Park - Sunday, August 5th, 2018 – 18:00#

Dr. Turner meets Devin Trent-Mawle at Prospect Park and persuades him to show her the MMO he’s playing at his apartment. While his roommates are playing, Turner signals the other Agents to proceed. Agent Lee then cuts power to the apartment, prompting Devin and his roommates to leave for an internet café to avoid missing their “raid.” The Agents search the apartment but find nothing valuable, noting that Trent is struggling financially.

The Sewers - 20:30#

Prompted by the message on Agent Nikita’s arm, the Agents explore the sewers near Gerritsen Mansion. After experiencing blackouts and odd signs, they find and decide to destroy a portal in a brick wall resembling the one marked on the wainscotting. Upon resurfacing, Agent Lee receives an alert from his motion camera—there’s movement under the tarp covering the wainscotting on the pool table. The Agents hurry to the Green Box.

The Disappearance of Agent Nikita#

Upon arrival, the Agents prepare to enter the concrete storage area. Three Favoured Ones intercept and incapacitate them using hypergeometric rituals, subsequently taking Agent Nikita into the Green Box. When Dr. Turner and Agent Lee enter, they find no trace of her or evidence of the creatures’ presence.

Aware that their actions may endanger Nikita, they proceed to destroy the wainscotting. Similarly, they remove Suydam’s bronze coffin lid and obliterate its geometric etchings.

Finally, they contact the number provided by their Handler to report their findings, actions, and losses. In accordance with instructions, they depart and disregard any memory of their time in Red Hook.

Lilith#

Agent Nikita finds herself enveloped in complete darkness, accompanied only by the subdued sound of a child whimpering nearby. Upon further observation, she discerns that she is situated within a vast, cavernous space. The distant strains of church organ music reach her from an indeterminate location. Soon after, she detects a faint, translucent glow. Attempting to exit, she proceeds through a tunnel; however, as time passes—whether minutes, hours, or days, she cannot ascertain—she discovers an etching on the rocky wall. By tracing it with her fingers, she identifies it as resembling a design previously seen on wainscotting. It appears to be a portal, yet it is currently nonfunctional.

She returns to the vast hall and sees dozens of ratlike Favoured Ones with human faces and hands gathered before a golden Byzantine throne.

Sitting in it, a naked woman, with long black hair, face covered in blood, a gaping hole in her chest, hands with fleshless tipped fingers, sharp as claws. LILITH.

Agent Nikita reacts to the strong scent and initiates an attack on the goddess. The goddess, in response, opens her arms and embraces Nikita.
