	Secily wakes up, hungover from her night with Sirage, then sets out to further pursue the case. She starts by following a hunch she has; that [[Bytcon Krypto]], a notorious scam artist she has never been able to catch, may have ties either directly or indirectly to the case. After entering the Currency Dome under an alias, she attempts to gain Bytcons favor by pretending to be a potential client. He leads her underground to a private room before proceeding to out her cover. Secily continues with her questioning nonetheless, but it quickly becomes clear that Bytcon holds the upper hand, and Secily has no way of proving any involvement. Upon leaving, Secily attempts to attack Bytcon but is coerced into letting him go in favor of an alibi paired with external pressure from Bytcon's many supporters. He leads her to a closer, and in order to prove his whereabouts, he refers Secily to [[Endari Vernir]], one of the 'Boys' he considers his closest confidants. Secily leaves the Currency Dome feeling utterly humiliated and vows to make more progress despite the dead end.

	After her encounter with Bytcon, Secily heads to the coordinates provided to her by her anonymous caller. Arriving at [[Eidolic Acres]], Secily is confronted by [[Husske Mayzee\|Husske Mayze]], before recalling her first assignment as a Regulator. Partway through her recall, things start to deviate and Secily finds that she has been mysteriously drawn to the corn fields that surround the property. Husske prevents her from entering, and explains that the corn whispers things, although he admits he's never met an adult who could hear it before. As a result he considers her trustworthy before bringing her inside to meet the rest of the kids who live on the acres. After some minor questioning of their situation and religious discussions Secily is drawn out by a crash, revealing a violin case with a recording and a picture of [[Oricka Rourst]] inside. Secily speeds away from the farm without another word as a result of the perceived threat.		After her encounter with Bytcon, Secily heads to the coordinates provided to her by her anonymous caller.

	Secily does not allow herself a moment before hurrying to her next lead. Following up on the lead provided by Bytcon, she arrives at the Stronghold's top theatre; flashing her badge to gain entry and heading to the top show of the night. Upon making it into the venue, Secily gets to witness the tail end of an illusory show by Endari Vernir, a celebrity who has risen to fame in recent sweeps. Overwhelmed by the noise of the crowds, Secily slips backstage in the commotion of Endari's finale where she corners him after the show. After a brief discussion in the hallway, Endari takes her into his dressing room. Secily questions his past in the cultist scene, and after minor deliberation he shares his history with two notable groups. He describes his time with the [[The Mora\|Mora]] religious group, and how he left as a result of am extreme Resonator Ritual. He also mentions another group he was with affiliated with, the [[Mirthamaniacs]], which he escaped with the help of a young troll. After some more discussion of astronomy and his former cult history, Secily leaves only to realize that she is being watched by [[Talald Hieron]], breaking into a pursuit after her. While she ends up unable to catch her, Secily now has confirmation that she is being closely monitored.		Secily does not allow herself a moment before hurrying to her next lead.

	After leaving the Ediolic Acres, Secily arrives at a junkyard bordering the Depths, entering a cave that serves as the location of Oricka Rourst's hive. When entering, Secily triggers the defense measures in the cave. After a messy sequence of events that led to Secily's visor being blown up and being concussed against a rock, Oricka turns up to help. Secily catches a glimpse of one of Oricka's projects on the way back to Oricka's hive and scolds her for its creation; despite that Oricka brushes her off in favor of bringing her inside. Secily shares the details of the case to Oricka, and blows up in anger when she responds casually in favor of asking Secily if she got rid of the visor she'd made for her. After calming down, they have a heart to heart about the unfairness of life and Oricka leaves to go get some medical supplies and materials for a new visor. While Oricka is gone, Secily snoops around her room, reading through a discorpse conversation between Oricka and Secily's anonymous informant. There, what starts as a lighthearted back and forth shifts drastically as he engages in much more extremist behavior, something Oricka quickly finds herself opposed to. In a final confrontation between the two it's revealed that they know Oricka by name and warns her that he's sent someone to her hive. Secily concludes that whoever it is must want her dead, though she has to quickly step back when Oricka returns. As an apology for everything, Oricka provides Secily with a drone, modified to look like a Hummingbird Moth, something Secily comments she hasn't seen since her lusus died. Secily is brought near to tears by the gift.		After leaving the Ediolic Acres, Secily arrives at a junkyard bordering the Depths, entering a cave that serves as the location of Oricka Rourst's hive.

	Secily starts her case off by meeting with [[Rypite Koldan]], whose ties with [[Skorpe]] put him on her list as it came out of nowhere and is now the dominating ~~chat client~~. Despite an intense back and forth, Secily soon finds that Rypite is just as excitable and genuine a character as he appears with no hidden ~~wrongdoing~~ beyond offering comfort and recording podcast episodes on company time, something Secily does not care to punish. He has no relevant information for Secily, instead telling her about his matesprit, [[Sirage Feltri]], and giving her the card for his moirail, who he says is good at solving puzzles like this one.		Secily starts her case off by meeting with [[Rypite Koldan]], whose ties with [[Skorpe]] put him on her list, as the chat client came out of nowhere and is now the dominating messaging interface. Despite an intense back and forth, Secily soon finds that Rypite is just as excitable and genuine a character as he appears; with no hidden wrongdoings beyond offering comfort and recording podcast episodes on company time, something Secily does not care to punish. He has no relevant information for Secily, instead telling her about his matesprit, [[Sirage Feltri]], and giving her the card for his moirail, who he says is good at solving puzzles like this one.

	As she already had Sirage on her list of suspects due to her past as a thief, she decides to interrogate her next, finding that she hasn't been at work since the wicend. Secily finds this highly suspicious, and sets out to find her, eventually stumbling upon her hungover in a park. After some conversation the two head to Sirage's office, where she admits she had a shipment on the truck that was stolen, but that it was just something she bought online. Secily coins the portmanteau 'murglary' to refer to the murder/burglary of the truck containing the philter while continuing to cast suspicion on Sirage, but eventually relents, admitting to herself that she feels sympathy for people like her, since her past is dodgy as well. Sirage mixes a cursed cocktail of whatever's on her desk, from ink to paper, and the two share a cup.

	Secily wakes up hungover from her night with Sirage, before setting out to further pursue the case. She starts by following a hunch she has that [[Bytcon Krypto]] a notorious scam artist she has never been able to catch may have ties either direct or indirectly to the case. Entering the Currency Dome under an alias, she attempts to gain Bytcons favor by pretending to be a potential client. He leads her underground to a private room before proceeding to out her cover. Secily continues with her questioning nonetheless but it quickly becomes clear that Bytcon holds the upper hand, and Secily has no way of proving any involvement. Upon leaving, Secily attempts to attack Bytcon but is coerced into letting him go in favor of an alibi paired with external pressure from Bytcon's many supporters. He leads her to a closer, and in order to prove his whereabouts he refers Secily to [[Endari Vernir]] one of the 'Boys' he considers his closest confidants. Secily leaves the Currency Dome feeling utterly humiliated and vows to make more progress despite the dead end.

	After her encounter with Bytcon, Secily heads to the coordinates provided to her by her anonymous caller. Arriving at [[Eidolic Acres]] Secily is confronted by [[Husske Mayzee\|Husske Mayze]], before recalling her first assignment as a Regulator. Partway through her recall, things start to deviate and Secily finds that she has been mysteriously drawn to the corn fields that surround the property. Husske prevents her from entering, and explains that the corn whispers things, although he admits he's never met an adult who could hear it before. As a result he considers her trustworthy before bringing her inside to meet the rest of the kids who live on the acres. After some minor questioning of their situation and religious discussions Secily is drawn out by a crash, revealing a violin case with a recording and a picture of [[Oricka Rourst]] inside. Secily speeds away from the farm without another word as a result to the perceived threat.		After her encounter with Bytcon, Secily heads to the coordinates provided to her by her anonymous caller.

	Secily does not allow herself a moment before hurrying to her next lead. Following up on the lead provided by Bytcon she arrives at the Stronghold's top theatre, flashing her badge to gain entry and heading to the top show of the night. Upon making it into the venue, Secily gets to witness the tail end of an illusory show by Endari Vernir a celebrity who has risen to fame in recent sweeps. Overwhelmed by the noise of the crowds, Secily slips backstage in the commotion of Endari's finale where she corners him after the show. After a brief discussion in the hallway, Endari takes her into his dressing room. Secily questions his past in the cultist scene, and after minor deliberation he shares his history with two notable groups. He describes his time with the [[The Mora\|Mora]] religious group, and how he left as a result of am extreme Resonator Ritual. He also mentions another group he was with affiliated with, the [[Mirthamaniacs]] which he escaped with the help of a young troll. After some more discussion of astronomy and his former cult history Secily leaves only to realize that she is being watched by [[Talald Hieron]] breaking into a pursuit after her. While she ends up unable to catch her, Secily now has confirmation that she is being closely monitored.		Secily does not allow herself a moment before hurrying to her next lead.

	After leaving the Ediolic Acres, Secily arrives at a junkyard bordering the Depths entering a cave that serves as the location of Oricka Rourst's hive. When entering, Secily triggers the defense measures in the cave. After a messy sequence of events that led to Secily's visor being blown up, and ~~Secily~~ concussed against a rock Oricka turns up to help. Secily catches a glimpse of one of Oricka's projects on the way back to Oricka's hive and scolds her for its creation, despite that Oricka brushes her off in favor of bringing her inside. Secily shares the details of the case to Oricka and blows up in anger when she responds casually in favor of asking Secily if she got rid of the visor she'd made for her. After calming down, they have a heart to heart about the unfairness of life and Oricka leaves to go get some medical supplies and materials for a new visor. While Oricka is gone, Secily snoops around her room, reading through a discorpse conversation between Oricka and Secily's anonymous informant. There, what starts as a lighthearted back and forth shifts drastically as he engages in much more extremist behavior, something Oricka quickly finds herself opposed to. In a final confrontation between the two it's revealed that they know Oricka by name and warns her that he's sent someone to her hive. Secily concludes that whoever it is, must want her dead though she has to quickly step back when Oricka returns. As an apology for everything, Oricka provides Secily with a drone, modified to look like a Hummingbird Moth, something Secily comments she hasn't seen since her lusus died. Secily is brought near to tears by the gift.		After leaving the Ediolic Acres, Secily arrives at a junkyard bordering the Depths, entering a cave that serves as the location of Oricka Rourst's hive.

	Secily starts her case off by meeting with [[Rypite Koldan]], whose ties with [[Skorpe]] put him on her list as it came out of nowhere and is now the dominating chat client. He has no relevant information for Secily, instead telling her about his matesprit, [[Sirage Feltri]], and giving her the card for his moirail, who he says is good at solving puzzles like this one.		Secily starts her case off by meeting with [[Rypite Koldan]], whose ties with [[Skorpe]] put him on her list as it came out of nowhere and is now the dominating chat client. Despite an intense back and forth, Secily soon finds that Rypite is just as excitable and genuine a character as he appears with no hidden wrongdoing beyond offering comfort and recording podcast episodes on company time something Secily does not care to punish. He has no relevant information for Secily, instead telling her about his matesprit, [[Sirage Feltri]], and giving her the card for his moirail, who he says is good at solving puzzles like this one.

	As she already had Sirage on her list of suspects due to her past as a thief, she decides to interrogate her next, finding that she hasn't been at work since the wicend. Secily finds this highly suspicious, and sets out to find her, eventually stumbling upon her hungover in a park. After some conversation the two head to Sirage's office, where she admits she had a shipment on the truck that was stolen, but that it was just something she bought online. Secily coins the portmanteau 'murglary' to refer to the murder/burglary of the truck containing the philter while continuing to cast suspicion on Sirage, but eventually relents, admitting to herself that she feels sympathy for people like her, since her past is dodgy as well. Sirage mixes a cursed cocktail of whatever's on her desk, from ink to paper, and the two share a cup.
