Confrontation at Administrator Nirai Paerani Shan's Office
Sulen and Virmad are facing off against Administrator Shan, having dumped a (friendly!) baby mothling (Crowned-With-Eyes) and faked evidence of Remi's "heresy" onto her desk, as per this thread from Move 19.

Shan makes a brief show of checking the faked datacube for the evidence, but she's clearly feeling pressured with two Rahal standing right there and it doesn't appear she finds anything out of order in the "evidence." "All right," Shan says. She pulls up an appropriate form on one of her data slates and signs over Remi and the mothlings to Sulen and Virmad's custody, then outputs it to a data cube and hands it to them. "Do you require assistance locating Nirai Remi? Or would you prefer to handle that yourselves?" Her expression is resigned.


On the "Bumblebee"

- Mikodez is in Sasha's bedroom, following this thread from Move 19. He is currently alone, trapped, and recuperating, apparently having dozed off.

- Sasha and Iawa have made preparations to talk to Mikodez (see above) as per this thread from Move 19. They have agreed to meet outside Sasha's bedroom and confront Mikodez together.

- Alaric is still currently closeted with Gerae (and Fluffy), continuing this thread from Move 19. Gerae looks abashed at Alaric's critique of heptarchate social control methods and says, "You're obviously very knowledgeable about us and our methods. Are you a scholar? I hadn't realized your team did research." (He's clearly fishing for more information about the Merry Crew he has fallen in with.) Meanwhile, Fluffy curls up on his forearm and appears to doze.

NPCs:
- Ashari is in their office.

- Kaliyan is still manning the cockpit in preparation for escape.

- Yehan graciously thanks Sasha for the box of Remy's journals and begins scanning them into the grid for further analysis; this is a process that can largely be automated so she has set the grid up to alert her if anything looks like it requires her immediate attention, and goes to get some more tea.

- Ankat is keeping an eye on Istradez, who is still woozy and concussed, as per this thread from Move 19. He is available if anyone needs an extra pair of hands.

When the grid tells Sasha that Sulen is in her bathroom and the temporary door has been removed, she restores the usual door from her bathroom to the bedroom. She tugs the blanket around herself a bit more tightly and waits for Sulen to open the door.

Sulen walks in, eyes bronze and back straight; takes in the state of the room, then takes in the state of everyone's signifiers.

[Pengwern, is Mikodez currently Smiling or Crowned With Eyes?]

Well, there certainly is a lot of stress in this room. Sulen themself is feeling oddly relieved. If it's finally time to get direct answers out of Mikodez, that at least is something they know how to do.

Sulen moves towards Mikodez, eyes gleaming the brassy color of clock gears. "I think it's time for some truth, Mikodez."

signifier shifts

[Sasha's signifier is rather blurry at the moment, what with all the recent changes, but Sulen should be able to make out the three moons and the moth in flight of Voidmoth on Patrol. This was also Sasha's childhood signifier, though I don't know whether anyone made a record (immigration documents?)]

[Iawa's signifier is the usual Tangled Web, with some very vague stingray caught in it if Sulen is looking closely, probably Stingray in Coral (a medical signifier.) They can also see that her gender is currently purple (woman) but drifting back toward gold (alt).]
