| “ | "Liam, we need to talk. When Omen didn't know about his past, he was contained, a known entity. We kept him in the dark to protect both him and us. I had to lie to him. He-... he tried to kill me! Now, he's starting to piece things together and I—... I can't anticipate his actions now! Will he retaliate? Maybe leave the Protocol, there are too many variables out of my control-... Keep an eye on him." |
Team 2 confirms the skyrise has already been abandoned. No bodies. No survivors. The artifacts Omen described are gone. These Scions of Hourglass clearly do not wish to be found. And here I thought we were the covert ones.
Finding more of these assassin cells may prove difficult. But if this group knew about Radianite before its modern rediscovery, I doubt we have a choice.

| “ | "Brimstone, for years the search to understand my own past drove me. I thought I could find peace by knowing who I am, who I was, but no. The truth has only led to more questions, more frustration! I-... I lack focus. I lack clarity. I am no longer an asset to the Protocol. I am going to leave for some time. I intend to recover, and I intend to return. I will find my own path along the way. Do not follow me." |

| “ | "Brimstone, I found him! Omen's in Edinburgh. Seems he was after a journal of some kind, one that belonged to our dear friends at Hourglass. I have confirmation that there was a disturbance near the library, but we know who won. Wait, wait! Hold on. Omen's checking in now... he's met someone he says you'll want to meet. Hmhm, I did always want to go to Scotland!" |
| “ | "Brimstone, the Nightmare brings more visions. I see someone I've never seen before. Bright lights darting around a dimmed room, silenced gunfire, and hundreds of butterflies. This person, they're in danger, but... the danger means nothing to them! Still, I worry. Cypher mentioned Edinburgh, no? I anticipate a connection. We should hurry." |
I've completed my breakdown review of the Outlaw, and I have to say... I'm impressed. I always admire attempts at the unconventional, and a sniper rifle with an over-under layout, each with integrated muzzle breaks? It certainly fits the bill.
I'll send over the full report soon. Needless to say, Bulwark have impressed me.

| “ | Brimstone, I want to discuss Omen. It's clear to me that he's on your mind. You seem so distracted in our briefings and... I assume he's the reason you're meeting with Cypher so often. You're concerned. I am too, especially with the way he left. You know, I've been trying to put myself in his shoes. Finally understanding more about his past and... feeling a sense of shame that he is struggling to overcome. It's a terrible feeling, Brimstone. One that I think I understand because... well I have felt it too. He and I are both burdened by past wrongs, which is why I think I can help. If I know his pain, maybe I can heal it. I'm going to find him, and I'm going to bring him back. I'll be in touch, I promise. Wish me luck. |
Omen brought our new friend, as promised. They are smart, intuitive, and certainly fearless. I'll drill them on firearms until they're mission ready.
Re: Omen, I tried to talk with him after the handover, but he wouldn't speak, and left as soon as we were done. Still, the fact that he's cooperating means something, yes? I suggest we exercise patience.

| “ | Grand, boss' already ignoring my calls- Oh, hello! Brimstone, no rush, but uh... I was getting set up in my room - lovely accommodation, by the way! - and uh... the door's stuck. Not like, locked but... stuck. I tried prying it open and that didnae work, and uh... I don't have anyone else's number yet! I know you're busy, but I'd prefer the option to leave. Unless... is this part of the onboarding?! Am I being tested right now? Haha! Nothing gets past me, aye? I can do this, don't you fret! |
| “ | Hey boss, I spoke with our new friend. Wanted to know more about, uh, where they go when their soul takes a break. Nothing like the astral plane-o. I checked our database and got my small collection of Guardian records there. As far as I can tell, immortality is not rare in radiants, it is unprecedented! Hm. They worry me. That their power, it's a blessing now, but later? Chale... I'm not so sure. |
The new kid and I have been poring over this journal, but I'm not at all familiar with these encryption techniques the Scions use. I'm going to pull Harbor in and see if he's seen any of this during his time at REALM. They dealt with artifacts - maybe the Scions and REALM crossed paths without Harbor ever realising it.
I'm reaching. I know.

| “ | Hey, Brimstone! I've been helping Cypher with the journal, aye? The one Hourglass tried to steal. There were some bits in there he couldn't figure out, something about a secret cavern or some such. And that got me thinking 'bout some things those Hourglass numpties let slip when they hauled me aboard their wee little boat. You'd be amazed at what some people say around a dead body! Yapping on and on about bringing the journal back to its rightful place in the Elder Grotto. You see where I'm going with this? The journal's talking about an Hourglass base, a special one too! Cy's getting the ship's navigation logs. We'll suss it out, just you wait! |
I met with Omen. We spoke at length, and I noted some immediate points I think we can act on. Most importantly, we should leave him alone.
His trust in us has been deeply shaken. Understandably so. He has promised to contact us when he uncovers more information, but right now, I want to let him work, heal, and be alone.
I'll see you soon.

| “ | Commander. I continue to spend my time contemplating recent events. Our encounters with Iso, Hourglass, and now our newest recruit. The event with Viper, our natures, the way our paths have entangled. This must all mean something. There must be something meaningful at the end of this thread. I intend to keep pulling it. |
We figured out some COORDINATES! Me and Cypher are gonna check out these wee islands in the middle of nowhere. Also, Harbor and Astra are heading to Lotus for energy signatures or something. Don't ask me.
Last thing... I borrowed Deadlock's jacket. Because I'm off up north and I didn't pack properly. I told her you said it was grand. So thanks! Bye! Good luck!

 : Brim, Harbor gave you the deets, hm? Look, Hourglass kills scientists instead of kidnapping them and they tried to leave no witnesses to that journal, huh? And now this with the Nexus?! This is about erasing information, keeping it from the public! That place the journal describes? It will show us how deep this goes! Of this I am certain! |
Great news, Brimstone - we found what we've been looking for! It just looked like a nondescript islet from satellites, but our sensors uncovered a sizable subterranean space with - as Clove put it - "ma-hoosive" power readings.
I don't think they're aware of us, but either way... we should move fast. Speed is of the essence, and all that, yes?

| “ | Follow me here, I'm working a problem, just wanted a sounding board but your voicemail will do. Hourglass tried to kill me. Why? Logically there's only one answer: my research, they wanted to prevent humanity from discovering radianite. So they send Omen to kill me, he fails, First Light happens, and... everything changes. That all tracks, Hourglass has failed, but!... they keep working. They send operatives around the world to recover radianite artifacts. Why? What are they still hiding? There must be something, Brimstone, there has to be more, for Omen's sake, for mine... ugh, call me back. |
Boss,
We're meeting in a minute to go over the mission briefing. I've shared all the information with Omen, too, as you requested. Hopefully he'll meet us there.
This is it, I hope we're ready.

| “ | Brimstone, it's Deadlock. This Hourglass facility is astonishing. The surface level security is all in place. 3-factor biometric entry, dual-encrypted transmission hardware, but you need to see the containment areas deeper in the facility. The materials here make Svalbard look almost... amateur! I don't know what they were keeping here, but to warrant this many layers of security... it must have been something special. I'll bring back samples for further analysis. |
| “ |
Brimstone! Seems like these Scions of Hourglass have been busy these last few millennia, ya? Plenty of evidence here that radiants have existed for centuries, and plenty more that these Scions have been scrubbing them from all records. I can't believe it, chale. So many people. All gone.
