>>6327177This is promising. The <span class="mu-r">Bandersnatch</span> is your hammer, one of your master's most reliable servants and a deadly weapon for Syron. Even you aren't sure of his exact origin, though he seems to be some kind of Hobgoblin or Arcadian creature, though there are rumors that he was a human infant raised in Faerie for centuries, becoming the monster you know today. His true form is that of a terrible fae beast. He may, however, shapeshift into the form of any human he has eaten within the year, or take on single aspects of his real monstrous self, such as claws or fangs. Chief among his wicked powers, though, is surely the Marionette Fugue. The Bandersnatch is capable of entering the dreams of anyone after eating a sentimental object they own, or a small piece of them such as a lock of hair, or thimble of blood. Many times have you used your larcenous gifts to pave the way for his subconscious intrusions. Upon entering a dream, he can hunt down and sting the dreamer with his tail, causing them to slumber inside their own mind. At this point, the sleeping body can be controlled by him to complete whatever dirty work he has been allotted. If the sleepwalker survives, their dream self will eventually awaken, causing them to awaken completely, in the real world, clueless as to where they've been and doomed to suffer all the consequences.
All of that said, however, Sullivan can still make for very dangerous game. He's bludgeoned dozens of HOC agents to death, and drowned dozens more. You may not get another chance like this, so you can't afford to underestimate him.
<span class="mu-s">How do you want to handle this?</span>
>Have the Bandersnatch pull back, but maintain surveillance on the descendents. We should wait and prepare further before striking.>Send two Red squads to back up Bandersnatch in abducting one or both descendants as hostages when we know Sullivan won't be around, then we can set a trap>Send two Red brigades and a dozen combat drones to back up Bandersnatch in abducting one or both descendants as hostages, and/or securing Sullivan, we should hit fast and with overwhelming force>I will assist in this personally, as the Bandersnatch and I make a very effective team, and I'll bring along one Red squad for support, while maintaining a low profile >Write in
