Pasatiemo, New Mexico.. Here to investigate a string of unexplained aneurisms.

At Dr. Noble’s lab the team decides they need to do something to sabotage these prosthetics in order to prevent the violence from Stasia’s vision from manifesting. Mordecai gets the tools he needs and gets to work sabotaging the prosthetics.

The team is reviewing files when some names jump out at them: Rose Marie Wenton is a former colleague of Mordecai’s at Caltech who is quoted in a piece on campus demonstration at UC Davis.

The intern from the museum is the new Brian! Romeo Roberts is learning the ropes. Everyone’s back in the office and things seem to be feeling good.

The team finds that their work is being re-assigned, leaving them suddenly free. Maliq is suspicious, but Jessica and Mordecai welcome the chance to recuperate. After some arguing, the group resigns themselves to their forced vacation.

Malik calls Brian back, who says that after everything the team has done to screw him over, the least they can do is help him move. Brian’s going to move his stuff to his parents’ in Maryland and take a trip to Machu Picchu.

At the former CISRA office Mordecai finds a secret door panel, goes through, lights are out. As he goes through, the panel clicks again and the door seals shut, with glowing wards to indicate that the door is now hidden.

Briefing time. Lots of animal mutilations (sacrifices?) found in the forests around Chicago. Malik goes into too much detail about how long this has been going on, but the numbers have increased recently, with reports that people have been sighted on the preserves, most recently in Oak Glen Park. Local law enforcement hasn’t pieced things together enough to launch an active investigation, but CISRA thinks it’s worth looking into.
