Vibrations against my face breached my unconscious. Foggy with sleep I swatted at the unknown thing. It felt it slide from my face onto my pillow. I opened an eye and saw it was my smartphone. I pressed the power button and saw it was four a.m. Then I saw texts from my old man appearing.

DAD- how's the case going

ME- my suite was ransacked last night

DAD- what was the perp hunting for

ME- they wanted the flash drive of our first surveillance recording

DAD- sounds like you're hot on the case

ME- the writing on my suites walls gave me an inkling

DAD- did whoever leave the message leave a name

ME- a scarlett glass

DAD- what's youh next move

ME- stash the recording equipment somewhere safe

DAD- excellent I'm so proud of you both

ME- thanks daddy!

Instead of returning to dreamland I decided to rise and begin my day. I took my meds with a sip of water. I made myself a cup of coffee from the machine and drank it while I read. I rinsed the mug and dressed in illumi gear. As I needed to enact operation, *stash the recorder,* into action. Buzzed with energy I switched on my tablet for a low down of the inner workings of the city. I learned about Culpepper's reasoning for creating the city. The regulations for the citizens and the conduct for buisness owners. I soon found a listing of the provided social gatherings and activities. After an hour and a half I came across a section mentioning the full list of the citizens. I was curious to see it as Culpepper had only given us a list of those who owned businesses. It would seem Eira didn't suspect any of the lodgers. When I clicked to access the list a red message popped onto the screen. "You must have a citizen ID to access this information." I scowled and decided to enail Carver a link to see if he could hack it.

To: Carver

I need you to hack this link. It's the list of Oppidum Noctal lodgers. I can't access it as I'm not a citizen. It seems Culpepper only gave us a list of the propetiers.

I tapped send and clicked back to the Oppidum Noctis website. I scrolled and saw a collage featuring the layout of Oppidum Noctis. As I scanned the left area past the hotel and came across a roller rink. I opened another window and searched the rollee rink "Lazy Susan." It showcased outward and inward photos of the rink. As I was perusing the inside shots I saw rows of footlockers with thumb print scanners. I played the video offered and waited for the video to play past the skaters. When the thumb scanners came into frame I leaned forward so as to not miss a single thing. I allowed it to play through and rewinded the clip a few times. I could feel the gears in my mind twisting and turning with plans. I exited the window and went back to gallery of the businesses. Across from the "Iridescent" was a matching building totled "Citizen Security Resources." I repopened a wondow and searched the official building. The site listed;

Citizen Resource & Planning function is all about knowing the future needs of the organization.
