<Antioch|GM> There's been barely any opportunity for Director Mendez to catch some much-needed downtime over the past several weeks -- between Lilith, Behemoth, the Blackguards, the arrival of Protectorate Critical, Capo II's emergence as the leader of the Cleveland Borgata, the supposed death of Longinus, the attempted prison break by Caitiff, dealing with the two other
<Antioch|GM> hero groups in the city -- well, no need to waste precious time on reminiscence.
<Antioch|GM> There's just as much stuff that hasn't been dealt with, yet.
<Antioch|GM> The issue is that the considerable amount of problems on her plate now seem a great deal larger, in part because of the distrust fostered between her and her subordinates. It falls on her to do everything herself, if she wants to see it done right.
<Antioch|GM> She's only just finished briefing herself on the incidents that yesterday that Findlay and Buchanan failed to bring to her attention, had a meeting with Cwn Annwn, and she's received word from Fairview Hospital that there's been yet another incident there. A Tinker attack, leaving three capes dead.
<Antioch|GM> The Good King appears shaken and unharmed, but he's asked for some space, an opportunity to collect himself and salvage what equipment and materials he has, with the promise that he'll assist the PRT in any way for this investigation he can.
<Antioch|GM> For the time being, it falls to Lieutenant Isaiah Grant, the captain of the newly reformed First Squad, to deliver his report, having arrived on the scene and questioned TGK in the immediate aftermath.
<Antioch|GM> Grant, a veteran PRT squadmember, from San Antonio, is tall, bulky, and imposing even outside of his armor, giving the impression of someone who could go blow-for-blow against Valiant and, powers aside, come out decisively on top. He's a good choice, for the archetype of squad he leads.
