On the second of June would be when the attempt would be made. A multi-pronged attack was planned, enabled by a conspiratorial guard detail. Two assassins would be planted in the crowd, at least, probably armed with handguns. If they failed to slay the Duke on the spot, a member of the guards would ensure the wounds were fatal.
There was precious little real proof, but your agents were certain that the attack was planned for when the Duke was scheduled to speak at a peace event, meant to soothe tensions in the stricken city with conciliatory gestures and communication to the people, both those angered and those frightened.
Along with those plans, the strongholds of the <span class="mu-i">Giardino Rosso</span> had been found out, where they coordinated their riots and assaults from, where they kept weapons, hid people, and as a lesson from Halmaluce, their hidden methods of movement as well. If you wanted to strike at them without warning, you would be able to seize the initiative.
That meant you knew where to intervene, if it came down to the last moment. Perhaps that <span class="mu-i">was</span> the only place to intervene? You were as best prepared as you could be at this point. The only other thing you could possibly do now was to move everybody you could into Larroccia in preparation for the violence to come…any attempt you might make to save the Duke or destroy opposition to yourself was not certain to work, but you could at least make a well-informed effort now.
>Warn the Duke ahead of time with what evidence you had. If he at least changed out his security detail, the worst might be prevented.
>Plan to intervene at the moment of the assassination attempt- the only time you could be sure when and how it was happening. Though the Aurora Legion would probably have to abduct the Duke to ensure his safety…
>Do nothing after all. Making an enemy of other Revolutionaries wouldn’t be worth it in the long run, and while the Duke would be appreciative of you, it wasn’t certain that any level of appreciation would mean he wouldn’t resist you expanding your influence to the capital.
>Other?

>What do you want to get Lorenzo and Chiara for their birthdays? Anything you want to do with/for them?
>Any other actions/plans for the turn?
