"Yeah, how'd you... know?" Hannah pauses to remember why she was here. "Oh, right! Do you guys have an aether condensation grid? I want to give something to Karina but it needs aether, and, well..."
The smell of smoke catches Hannah's attention. "Smells like Dad's burning his lunch again. Or, well, I guess it's not Dad, but you know."Oh geez that Opposition "ult". Exciting, I wonder what the best deck for this is. 9/10 Condensation Grid  Artifact   : Put a charge counter on Condensation Grid.  , : You may move any number of charge counters from Condensation Grid onto target artifact.

(Guest System) While Aiea talks to Hannah, another visitor arrives in 7CI.
And then Reyhsia’s study is on fire.
Reyhsia runs in as soon as she hears, but when she gets there, she falls to her knees and can only watch as years of stories and research go up in smoke.
When the chaos is over, someone notices a message written on the wall opposite the study. It is written in blood, only a few feet off the ground, as though it were done by a child. The still-glistening script asks one question:DID YOU MISS ME?
Mysterious Message    Enchantment Whenever a nonland permanent an opponent controls leaves the battlefield, you may draw X cards, where X is that permanent’s converted mana cost. |

WindyDelcarlo — Condensation Grid: Comparing this to Energy Chamber, I'm pretty sure it could cost and/or be uncommon, even with the ability to bank counters. 8/10"You look rather like your mother, and besides, there's not many people your age around here. An aether conden—ah, give me a moment to find the Deputy Chief, I'm no good with technology."
"So, you're the younger Nisita? I'm afraid we don't have an... aether condensation grid... but if it's aether you need, we do have a significant stockpile of it. I'm sure we could—" The Deputy Chief is cut off abruptly by the station's fire alarms. "WAIT HERE," she shouts to Hannah over the alarms, with a meaningful glance towards Aiea, who nods, acknowledging the implicit command.Hana, Expatriate Cyberpunk  Legendary Planeswalker — Hana   : Untap each nonland permanent you control.  : Next time you activate a nonmana ability of a permanent you control this turn, copy that ability. You may choose new targets for the copies.  : You may cast any number of artifact, instant, and sorcery cards from your hand without paying their mana costs. Whenever an artifact you cast this way enters the battlefield this turn, you may activate one of its abilities without paying its costs.  (Calling for aid for Magistrate's Scepter to take infinite turns, guaranteeing that Hannah will in fact be here when Hana gets back.)
cajun — Mysterious Message: Excellent suitably-ridiculous EDH card; unplayable in any reasonable format despite how powerful the effect is. 9/10A FEW DAYS EARLIER "An invisible infiltrator? Yeah, that sounds like something I can deal with. It's gonna take a lot of power, though."
"Whatever you need. If it comes back, I want to know everything about it—treat it as a potential Class 2 and prepare accordingly."Britt, Spectre Seeker Legendary Planeswalker — Britt : Exile another target noncreature permanent, then return it to the battlefield under its owner's control.  : Create a token that's a copy of target noncreature permanent an opponent controls.  : Search target opponent's library for a permanent card and put it onto the battlefield under your control. That player shuffles their library. BACK IN THE PRESENT Hana attempts to console Reyhsia, reminding her that most of her research is backed up on Tena.
Meanwhile, Britt grins as they scan through their sensor logs. "Got 'em—" They suddenly freeze. "Uh, Chief? You're going to want to see this."(Can to copy the Mysterious Message, then flickering the original to draw seven every turn; given sufficient time, can to search for the infiltrator.)

"Uh, but I..." Hannah pauses, considering the urgency in the response. "Okay." Hannah sits on the floor and reads something from her transceiver about resonance coils.
Hana is a very intricate combo with the piece Hannah offered. Amazing. 10/10.
(She's not super able to do any 'attacks' so she'll just sit there and politely wait.)

The hallway is unusually quite as Lyfaen walks down it with, the kitsune carrying a paintbrush in one hand and a bottle of blood in the other. The short fox paints out the message on the wall, then looks directly at the sensor and winks. The brush and bottle vanish, replaced by a glowing orange ball that is thrown into the room. The kitsune follows into the room that's already starting to burn, then disappears from the sensors. As far as the sensors can tell, they did not planeswalk.
---
"Hana, I think I've found the connection. So far the attacks have been aimed at Karina, Nisita, Aylin, and now me. All of us were there when Kirino died."
"Hyle Seritani and Officer Lumen were there too. If someone is trying to get revenge for Kirino... or... or if she is still out there, they'll be the next targets. We should send someone to keep an eye on them. These incidents seem to be getting worse."
Britt, Spectre Seeker - wait, did you cast this, or did I? :3
pretty neat walker even if she didn't quite find what you wanted, 10/10

She has no idea what this other geomancer is capable of, and she has no idea where they may be, so she has to go to the people she knows have eyes and ears everywhere (or at least pretend to...)She heads to the first person she finds."Hi, I'm here because I need information" she says "There's another geomancer in the Arena, one capable of bending the earth from afar with deadly precision.

The fog intensifies for but a brief moment, seemingly constricting the building, before it fades away into nothingness. Weird... could've been some sort of new Aether leak?
Frode Gulbrandssen: Flashwalker is neat. EtB feels weird for GW but I'm sure there's some precedent card I don't know about. 0 seems fine, -1 feels fine if mostly white and not green. 8/10.

I love her abilities, since they work so well in a token-swarm deck without being terribly overpowering.

Hana, Scholar of Strategy - abilities are all solid, but don't seem to work together much? Strategist feels like the type that would want those to mesh ithink. 9/10
Reyhsia’s face drops. She took too big a gamble. Maybe we should have just killed the kid. “Wrong answer,” she growls. The room goes pitch dark. Hana can see a small sparkle of lightning as Reyhsia draws her sword and points it at her face.
Chaos spreads across the Arena, but for now, all Hana hears is the click of a device cutting off her access to the Blind Eternities and chewing through the mana in the room.
“Now, would you like to tell me what we know, or should I take what’s left of that little head of yours?”--- Meanwhile, a boy, barely 13 years old, enters the 7CI. “Hiya! I’m Flynn, Reyhsia said I should come here today!”
“She also said I should do this!” He turns his hands and face upwards, then a pillar of flame erupts from him. The pillar roars as it takes the shape of a dragon and starts unleashing fire of her own.

cajun — Ilieth, Flynn's Soul: This is an absurdly spicy control finisher. Maybe too resilient, but seven mana buys you a lot of gamewinning. 9/10
Reyhsia, the Traitor: Speaking of seven mana buying you a lot of gamewinning... it really doesn't here. Both of the + abilities are situational, the -2 is strong but available for much less mana elsewhere... Obviously she's powerful in this specific situation, but I'm otherwise pretty unimpressed whereas a seven-mana walker ought to blow me away. 7/10Hana grins in the darkness. She may not have seen this particular betrayal coming, but with a Class 2 on site, a shapeshifting enemy who defied magical detection, and the possibility that Kirino Oblay might still be present? She'd've been a fool not to have some contingency plans. And besides, she'd memorized all the relevant personnel files, and she knew her night vision was better than Reyhsia's. Reyhsia, on the other hand, seems to have overestimated her reliance on magic; the lost mana will inconvenience her, cut off her access to illusions, but no more than that. Her foot slides across a concealed button beneath her desk as she begins to talk. "Yeah, okay, wrong answer. Look, there's a reason you weren't cleared for case MIRROR SCOUNDREL, and in retrospect that's now seeming like a very wise decision. But given the circumstances we're in, yeah, maybe I should start talking. So, let me tell you a story..."
Outside the sealed office, the station springs into motion. Orders flash onto screens. Weapons flick into hands. A dragon appears in the main entrance hall.
"Someone grab the kid, keep him from casting! I've got the dragon," a leather-armored warrior shouts, throwing a spear towards the dragon's jaws as they quickly smear some foul grey resin on another.Teagan, the Nemesis  Legendary Planeswalker — Teagan Flash When Teagan, the Nemesis enters the battlefield, you may activate one of their abilities. : Up to one target creature gets +1/+3 and gains deathtouch until end of turn. : Target permanent gains hexproof and indestructible until your next turn. : Target player sacrifices a creature. If it's legendary, they lose life equal to its power.
Despite the chaos outside, the office is silent except for Hana's voice. "... back in '35, when the Initative was still barely established, the Division of Operations sent a survey team to search..." As she speaks, aether silently flows from a concealed canister as nanobots slip into position. By the time it becomes obvious she doesn't actually have the right secret, it'll be too late—Reyhsia will be no more able to swing her sword than swallow a moon.Calling for aid for Deadlock Trap and Voltaic Key!

Her eyes flicker. She won't say. The sword flashes. The cyborg jumps. A glancing blow.
She turns to follow the lightning fast cyborg. Aukashi flashes. Two bullets fire.
The sword wins.
The first bullet catches Reyhsia in that scar. The body recoils, and the bullet aimed at her head flies through empty space. The cyborg clatters to the ground, nearly in two pieces from the damage of the two blows.
Well. We weren't going to be able to hitch a ride here anymore.
Reyhsia sat down and pulled up the cyborg's head to her hat. It had never attempted to hold two minds before, but it was a day of firsts already.
The connection was weak. The cyborg was dying. It could only learn a little.
She didn't know.
Reyhsia stumbled out of the room, the bullet wound open for all to see.
"Hana Cheyn was the most recent, and hopefully last, victim of a Class 2 mind-control parasite. The creature has used multiple people over the past few days to cause all the havoc we have seen. I learned enough to make the creature scared enough to attack, and unfortunately killed Chief Cheyn while defending myself. I do not believe Hana Cheyn was involved in carrying out any of the previous incidents connected to this Class 2."

cajun — Mysterious Cover-Up: The ideal ending (hopefully) to the Mysterious suite. 10/10The assembled agents glance up at Reyhsia, then down at the text flashing onto every screen in the facility, informing them that Reyhsia (at least, the one in Hana's office) is a traitor, is responsible for the various sabotages and thefts, was trying to steal classified information about something called Rhak, and not to believe anything she says. Planar Interdiction Fields snap into place. Weapons are leveled at her. She's quickly sealed away for future questioning, as soon as they can find Dr. Arueth to actually perform the interrogation.Calling for aid for Oblivion Ring!
tsssss-BOOOOM
Dr. Arueth, meanwhile, is having an altogether bad day. His room's door won't open. He can't planeswalk—Interdicted, presumably, which would explain why he's cut off from his mana. It would not explain why he's also cut off from the Glorious Sun, since in his prior testing with Varrs that connection remained through an Interdiction. He can't ask for help via his computer, because it's busy informing him about the traitor in the midst of the Initiative. And something is exploding just down the hall.
Aiea, on the other hand, has received a quite different set of orders, ones that seem to her uniquely poorly suited for her. She has essentially no time whatsoever to get a probably unconscious Deputy Chief to Dr. Arueth, who is currently missing. And, upon phasing into her office, she realizes that she's underestimated the severity of the situation.
"Oh, thank you! Oh, and, um... you don't have to worry about being too slow to get me. I can treat dying, as long as they haven't started rotting."
Hanska's words ring in her mind. Now, how to get the Deputy Chief's body there when she can't physically lift objects—Severin's teleporter. It's neither interplanar nor magical, so it ought to work through an Interdiction. She retargets the device, thankful that the Initiative's invented means of allowing the ethereal to use their technology, prays that it won't explode in her face, and activates it.

Chrysoplei approaches the 7CI building, not looking happy with what it seems he's doing here. He quickly calls upon an ally, mounts up, and attacks. I'm late. Hopefully means not too much will get in my way and force me to... deal with them.Alimar, Slayer of the Wicked Legendary Creature - Dragon Flying When ~ enters the battlefield, destroy all tapped creatures your team don't control. 4/4 |

I looked at the agents surrounding me. Something hadn't gone as planned. This is why you had backup plans. "S, quake around my position," I whispered as quiet as I could.
"Okay, okay, I can see the parasite had her do something." Reyhsia gently set my sword and claw on the ground. "What'd she say, hopefully we can sort this out."
"S, where are you?"
"S, quake around my position," crackled into Sevid's ear. With a wave of her hand, the Atlas focused in on the building. She turned to another map to find Reyhsia's steps. How did you get that surrounded, Reyhs? Just what were you doing in there?
"Reyhs, you're surrounded by friendlies.""Exactly."Sevid frowned. Pidge had mentioned something was strange, but this? "I'm not going to do that, R."
"And you should have known that I wouldn't." Sevid smashed Reyhsia's connection, gathered up her maps, and walked back upstairs.
There was a crackle in my ear as Sevid betrayed me. I had nothing left. The only thing left was a lifetime of Interdiction fields. Well, it was time to try some more new things. I pulled all the mana I could from the area and her blood. Distraction charm on me. Illusion on her. By the time they realized she'd thrown the hat, it'd be too late. They saw Reyhsia pleading her case. We spun as she launched the hat towards an opening in the crowd.
Something spun away from the traitor. Those who watched might have seen a straw hat fly out of the Interdiction range before vanishing. Most people were more focused on the traitor falling onto her back. My head hit the floor. Did that clerk just shove me? WHY AM I BLEEDING. I tried to cast to stop it, but there was nothing to use. Interdicted? I pulled myself up, painfully casting off my strangely thin blood. "Oh great Vijaya. What just happened?"
Reyhsia, the Interdicted
Legendary Planeswalker - Reyhsia
[+1]: Each player loses 1 life.
[-X]: Exile the top X cards of your library. You may play those cards until end of turn.
[-5]: Put target legendary card from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control.
[2]Okus has left the Arena (for real this time)
Hanska, the Miraculous - think the loyalty on the emblem might be a bit low. -2 is neat, might need to steal that tech for Reyhs if she makes it out in one piece :^) 9/10

cajun No, no, this is all wrong! We need a SACRIFICE.Soon enough, Aiden, Karina, and presumably Hannah found everyone crowding around the blood seer. Aiden pushed his way through. He entered the main circle of weapons around her, ignoring any objections. "Reyhsia." he said, his eyes still white. He did not seem happy. "You have endangered the life of many people, and most of all the young woman Karina." he said, motioning behind him towards her and Hannah, in sight. He then remembered the weird thing Karina told him... the hat. She wasn't wearing a hat. His eyes narrowed. "What do you have to say for yourself?" he knew how courts worked, at least in Sunspear. Even if Karina was right, he had to play along.Martyrdom, heroism! Fight back, Reyhsia. Try and kill him.
Aiden, Sun's Fang Legendary Creature - Vampire Soldier Players can't cast cards from exile. Whenever a creature or planeswalker dealt combat damage by ~ this turn would be put into a graveyard, exile it instead. Other Soldiers you control get +2/+1. "You stand before the sun. What do you say?"4/4 Aiden, Sun's Fang has indestructible because of Aiden of Sunspear. (Aiding vs Reyhsia)

"Miss Reyhsia doesn't have the hat...!" The words escape Hannah almost as a whisper. The hat was making her do bad things! That means she should stop doing bad things! Why was everyone still crowding around her? Why were there still weapons pointed at her if she wasn't going to do bad anymore? Normally she might let the adults take care of this, but...
No! This is who Karina wanted to help, so Hannah is going to make sure she helps too!"What do you have to say for yourself?"Hannah pushes and crawls through the crowd of people so she can stand between the man and Miss Reyhsia. "The hat's gone! Miss Reyhsia's not gonna hurt people anymore!"
..."No, Hannah," The Master explained. "You cannot place faction protection on a person that we as a faction cannot protect. He has to go on his own for now.""But I want him to be protected!" The traveling merchant was just going to get hurt again. No one but Entela liked him. "Won't people leave him alone if we say he's under our protection?""Hm," the Master chuckled. "If only that were how that worked. We can't place someone under our protection and then not protect him.""What if I went with him? Then could we say he's protected?""I don't think you mother would appreciate me sending you as an agent of our protection... But yes. If you find someone you really, really have to protect, you can say, "I am Hannah Delcarlo-Nisita of Entela. With Master Sara's permission, this person is under Entelan protection.'" The Master smiled at her. "I'll give you permission, as long as you can tell me why you protected them later.""And the other factions would leave them alone?""They should, if they do not want to risk a fight with us."..."I am Hannah Delcarlo-Nisita of Entela." Hannah crossed her arms like she's seen Karina do so many times. "With Master Sara's permission, this person is under Entelan protection."
[In defense of Reyhsia]

Creatures you don't control get -2/-0 until end of turn. Creatures you control get +2/+0 until end of turn. Each attacking creature doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step.

Rixos enters the room, but as he sees the crowd surrounding Reysha he decides to stand out and evaluate the situation. It seems like some kind of trial. Aiden, the soldier, is accusing her and the other girl (he hadn't seen her before) is the defending part. "I think I will wait and see what's happening here. But I will go against Reysha if things go wrong.", Rixos thought to himself.Accusing Witness Creature - Human Citizen Flash When ~ enters the battlefield choose an opponent. Untap all creatures that player doesn't control. Until your next turn, whenever a creature attacks that player it gets +1/+0 and gains deathtouch until end of turn. "Her first crime was..."2/2 [Choosing cajun, as he is Reysha's controller.] I made my stance clear, nos it's up to you if we let her go.
