Delegating the family-acquisition op; departure for Phoenix

texture · 19 Nov YDAU

• When: 19 November YDAU — the shop, ahead of the incoming blizzard
• What: With Marathe, Ossowiecke, and Balbalis all reporting no trace of the veiled performer, Fortier and Marathe throw into effect the most drastic operation yet for locating the Master: acquiring members of the auteur's immediate family, perhaps in public. Fortier's on-page share is command and transit: he charges "the trusted Rémy Marathe" with the preliminary details (the interception and replacement of Québec's junior tennis team en route to the Academy) because Broullîme is tied up trouble-killing the field-tests — one newly acquired test-subject, a wigged cookware-hoarding street man, has been sabotaging the digit-experiment by severing a fellow captive's fingers instead of his own, forcing Fortier to weigh authorizing a lethal technical interview "for reasons of anger only." Then he departs before the weather for the city of Phoenix — a name he takes amusement from — to attend Mlle. Luria P in conducting a technical interview of more importance. The escalation this event announces lands as event 7.
