SUSPECT DOSSIERS

Deniz Erden

Age: 20
Height: 160cm
Affiliation: ?

Deniz is the whirlwind drummer who jumped in with the Diplomats when their last percussionist vanished overnight. Small but unstoppable, she plays like her life depends on it: elbows flying, hair clinging to her temples, her grin never slipping. The moment the music stops, she's off the stool, drink in hand, already spinning some hapless bystander into a dance. She thrives in the chaos of dim-lit stages and sticky-floored dressing rooms, trading jokes and topping up glasses like it's her second job. The band's never played tighter, and the crowds never livelier. Ask her how she does it, and she'll just laugh and say, "You keep moving, or you get left behind."

Thea Vasco

Age: 23
Height: 170cm
Affiliation: ?

Thea is the rescue swimmer with sun-bleached curls and salt still drying on her skin. She hunches at the dockside bar, grinning when a fresh glass appears—ever since that winter rescue, drinks just tend to find her. The patrons nod as she stretches, her rope-burned arms flexing under the tank top's frayed edges. She doesn't make speeches. Just laughs, scans the room from habit, and lets the night take her where it will.

Milan Stasiak

Age: 23
Height: 178cm
Affiliation: ?

Milan drinks like he's clocked out for the day yet still on duty—tie loose but eyes sharp, absorbing complaints about rations with the same focus he brings to paperwork. People unload on him without meaning to, finding in his quiet attention something like being officially heard.The alcohol just slows his blinks, nothing more. He'll make one drink last all night if the stories keep coming. Never dances. Just listens, processes, and leaves people feeling—just this once—like the system noted their grievance properly.

Kaya Larkin

Age: 40
Height: 175cm
Affiliation: ?

Kaya runs this bar like he's got nothing to lose—which, given what he's survived, might be true. He's smashed his own tables mid-argument, thrown out regulars for breathing wrong, and once broke a bottle over a Party inspector's head (they still haven't caught him for that). But he's also the reason this place stays open. Knows which palms to grease, which shipments to "lose", and keeps the good stuff hidden for those who really need it. Regulars tolerate his outbursts because when the sun hits the back patio just right, you might catch him whistling some old Prikenti tune, smiling like the war never happened.

LOCATION FILES

The Amethyst Hour

A terrace above the noise, where no one pays much mind to names or uniforms. Here, old friends and new allies trade stories beneath lantern glow. Sometimes there's a band. Sometimes a plan. Always a reason to stay longer than you meant to.

INVESTIGATIVE TEAM

Seraphin Devereaux

Player: Stedy
Age: 27
Height: 178cm
Affiliation: Party

Seraphin is the Party loyalist who burns with quiet heresy, convinced the system must be saved from itself. He works tirelessly to purge its flaws, believing absolute order is the only alternative to chaos. Every reform he pushes through, every corrupt official he exposes, is a desperate bid to resurrect the Party's original promise. But the past haunts him. The faces of those he sacrificed flicker behind his eyes at night, especially one family he condemned against his conscience. He fears becoming the very thing he fights—and worse, being exposed as the reformer he denies being. Yet he presses on, because to stop would mean admitting the dream is already dead.

Althea Nikolaou

Player: Jamie
Age: 27
Height: 180cm
Affilitation: Neutral

Althea heals without checking papers first. She learned on village scrapes and fevers, boiling rags when supplies ran low—later, proper training honed her hands but not her heart. Still sees her sister's face in every patient. Still works until her vision blurs, chasing the ghosts away with sheer exhaustion. No oath guides her except this: all blood runs the same. She'll stitch a Party man and a smuggler back-to-back, using whatever's at hand: stolen gauze, liquor for antiseptic, her own sleeves in a pinch. The nightmares come anyway: her mother's last breath, the siblings she couldn't save, the sister who vanished without a grave. Only Kostas remains, his name scrubbed from every record. The one loss she couldn't survive.

Kostas Nikolaou

Player: Vlad
Age: 17
Height: 180cm
Affilitation: Neutral

Kostas is the bike mechanic who keeps the city moving while staying invisible—grease under his nails, false papers in his pocket, and a smile that doesn’t reach his eyes. Officially, he’s Althea’s cousin; in reality, he’s the last one left who remembers their mother’s lullabies. He works quiet miracles in his garage: patching tires with scraps, jury-rigging engines to purr on rationed fuel. When Althea sneaks in with blood on her sleeves, he doesn’t ask questions. Just heats water, hands her the least stained rag, and listens to her breathe until she stops shaking. They don’t speak of the dead. But sometimes, when the night is soft, he hums an old village tune—just loud enough for her to hear.

SESSION SUMMARIES

Sesh 01 · The Amethyst Hour — Field Report 02-08-XX59

Filed by: Milan [ID Redacted] — Classification: Internal – For Op. Seraphin’s Review Only

Summary: Observation of The Diplomats at The Amethyst Hour, Port Yenmir. Band remains politically neutral in public; leader maintains cooperative stance with the Party. Incident occurred at approximately 21:40 when a juvenile attempted to breach stage security, creating a minor disturbance and allowing for productive surveillance of multiple assets.

Chronology:

The Minor (Diana): 15 years old, unregistered locally. Breach attempt led to trampling; treated by Althea (physician) and Kostas (registered bike mechanic; official records indicate a shared surname with Althea). Given alcohol for pain relief and transported to hospital. Subject’s vulnerability makes her exploitable by hostile actors—recommend follow-up.
Primary Contact (Seraphin): Cultural Standards Officer. Established encrypted comms; transmitted current suspect list for cross-reference (Attachment A).
Suspect File (Attachment A):
- Deniz — drummer, The Diplomats. Inclusion precautionary; highly mobile but no observed rebel ties.
- Thea — background overly clean; unusual, but inconclusive.
- Kristian — security for The Amethyst Hour, loyal to manager Kaya.
- Kaya — venue manager; longstanding rebel sympathizer.
- Several additional dockside figures under observation.
Secondary Contact (Thorsten): Former military; connected to Kaya. Confronted Seraphin outside the venue. My presence did not appear relevant to his line of questioning.

Assessment: Incident was minor and did not undermine the performance’s value. The Amethyst Hour remains a useful location for monitoring rebel-linked activity. Maintain band’s good standing to preserve cultural and intelligence benefits. Continue to use Seraphin as discreet intel relay; avoid alerting Thea until necessary.

Sesh 02 · Kaya’s Shipment — Surveillance File 09-08-XX59

Filed by: Milan [ID Redacted] — Classification: Internal – For Op. Seraphin’s Review Only

Summary: Observation of group activity across hospital, docks, and public venues. Suspect Thorsten received a message from Kaya concerning the contraband shipment; contents confirmed for the scheduled hour. Seraphin remained cooperative throughout, advancing instructed contact with Deniz and establishing closer rapport for ongoing cultivation.

Chronology:

New Suspect (Thorsten): Present at hospital with Althea and Kostas during Diana’s transfer; deflected questioning attempts from Rashida (hospital staff, noted for obstructive conduct). Later received message from Kaya confirming meeting for 20:00 the following day, consistent with shipment schedule. Subsequently approached at the docks by Kristian (security), who warned that the transfer was compromised and likely a trap. Thorsten attempted escalation with Kaya but failed to alter plans. Secured conditional promise of bar ownership in the event of Kaya’s death.
Agent Movements (Seraphin): Investigated disappearance of drummer before being redirected to avoid exposure. Implemented ration increase for operational effect. Encountered Deniz at hotel restaurant; engaged under fabricated identity (“librarian”), offering contraband literature as leverage. Rapport established through practiced charm. Transition to park further deepened contact. Later redirected toward docks, leaving Deniz under incidental cover with Althea and Kostas.
Updated Suspect File:
- Thorsten — confirmed contact of Kaya, directly linked to contraband shipment planning. Displays ambition for succession; reliability questionable.
- Kaya — persists in high-risk smuggling despite warnings.
- Kristian — maintains loyalty to Kaya; cautionary advice indicates situational awareness but alignment remains with rebel logistics.
- Deniz — subject of ongoing cultivation via Seraphin; mobility high, potential intelligence yield significant.
Althea & Kostas: Assisted in Diana’s transfer; demonstrated continued medical utility. No confirmed ties beyond professional conduct. Potential future use remains uncertain—retain under low-level observation.

Assessment: Hospital incident underscored Diana’s vulnerability. Thorsten confirmed as participant in rebel-linked logistics; ambition marked, but loyalty uncertain. Seraphin’s romance-driven infiltration of Deniz is opportunistic yet potentially high-yield. Recommend: monitor Kaya’s shipment closely; allow Seraphin to cultivate Deniz further; evaluate Thorsten’s reliability before any transfer of authority.
