BOTU02 (Jun 7, 2023)
Summary of Receipt
The Kings of Roses has made their big move, since Alfa's ordered the Zulus to stop Rune or she'll have Division Ampersand (since, yes, apparently the CaD's still around) intervene. So Dover, Blackwood, Pathologist and Capgras are going to work on cleansing Rune's soul while Kikimora goes into the Esterskald, Mercutio goes into Mayda, Silenziosa returns to Necropolis and Twain heads to the Ouroboros to help Nine gather more of the Universe's Blood.

Just for clarification, no one actually asked Dover to join our team. He just sorta decided on his own and then begged Blackwood for a CaDCom-Z. So, sorry we didn't really get to put it to a vote or anything, but hey, we've got Dover now, I guess? Which, I suppose, is overall a good thing. Heck, it's probably a great thing. Dover was at one point one of the highest-ranking members of the Cafe and Diner. He was also a minor antagonist for a bit, but I think the little guy really does enjoy helping. So, there's no point in looking a gift horse in the mouth.
Especially seeing as we're going to need all hands-on deck as it would seem the Kings of Roses are making their big move. Or, at the very least, they're doing something on a potentially dangerous/UED level of bad. We just got the orders from Alfa that either we need to stop Rune, or she's going to have Ampersand do it. We can't be shown up by Ampersand—plus, we can't let any of our secrets slip into their dirty coffee-drinking hands either. So! We'll handle this cult and/or esoteric affair like it's our job to do so.
Dover, Blackwood, Pathologist, and Capgras will stick back to work on their weird science project. Meanwhile, Kikimora will grab us some Green Tea, Mercutio will snag some Ice Water, and Silenziosa will pay her daughter another visit. And me? Well, I'm gonna give these Miracles a full test and see if I can't check on things in the Ouroboros. Nine apparently needs a complete set of data to be certain of the Kings' plans. Nine will be accompanying all of us to each Plane, so we'll still have to go at separate times instead of going all at once, but with our help, Nine should be able to get his data collected a lot faster. Though, you'd think time wouldn't really be a concern of his.
