"Due heavy but 'safe' levels of A-Energy entering the air, the neighboring district of I-Corp has been noticing some quite unusual behaviors developing in their people. <span class="mu-b">I wouldn't be shocked if SHIFTers were found if you visit I-Corp's district.</span> Though the whole City is likely to feel it, especially any <span class="mu-b">allies you have with SPARKs.</span> They likely developed something."
[ANOMALOUS ABILITIES] Maruyama, Benedict, Max, Benjamin, and MAYBE Clover. Those are the four to five affected.
"P-Corp and U-Corp have already noticed this and have quickly rushed in to investigate it. <span class="mu-b">Recovering what's left from the others scavenging it will keep them complacent for a while.</span> I wouldn't expect P-Corp to ask for you to work directly for their facility today and tomorrow."
You let out a sigh of relief. Good, maybe you'll get something new when the Handler badgers you with missions.
"THREE! M-Corp has decided to allow a starlet by the name of Ashley M. and her band "Strands of Silvers" to play at an upcoming event. Due to the proximity of this to the Meeting with the Head, <span class="mu-b">it's very possible her and her associates will be invited to it.</span> Given your association to her, the Krakatoas, Foxtrot, and other high ranking officials?"
"<span class="mu-b">Don't be shocked if you're forcefully dragged to it right after or right before your base invasion. That is if you even attempt to invade it to begin with.</span>"
You can already feel a pit forming in your stomach. Oh god, oh fuck, you're not sure if you're remotely prepared to go to such an event. You wanted it as an excuse to mess with the spooks or to explore unimpeded. You doubt you can hide under the radar now so...that's something you have to account for.
"FOUR! The 521 Association are scared and horrified of you. They're scared that they're losing time, losing their ability to stop you. Losing their biggest sponsors."
"<span class="mu-r">Keep an eye out. They're not going to stick to scouting and watching you from a distance for much longer.</span> Especially with your X-Corp guards disappearing. Especially with the rumors being spread about you."
"You have a $35000 bounty on your head. Keep your head on straight."
The television's screen immediately shatters into a million tiny shards the moment he finishes that sentence. You take a moment to process that last warning. You weren't given an exact date or district to avoid but the fact he mentioned the association and not just Ashton? This problem is going to be all six of them. The doppelgangers, Ashton, Vincent, and Aster.
You can only hold you don't have to actually fight them. You're not good in an actual one on one fight and you don't want your allies being mauled either.
You pick your phone to dial a certain contact on your way back to your house. He almost immediately picks up.
<span class="mu-s">"Explorer. State your purpose. Quick."</span>
"'Interviewed' a 'Guest'. Spilled about knowing about someone amongst them. They know someone's snooping."
