Time: Morning

"Thanks, Linna. Coming to deliver that document, agreeing to train with me, giving me a good fight, and even worrying when I got hurt. Seriously, thank you."
Linna: "Worrying? Um, yeah. No problem."
Points distributed!
You heal yourself with the healing lamp, using 20 mana from two of your stones.
"Alright, sappiness out of the way. Let's go see if the warden managed to get Emiel out on good behavior."
The two of you walk back to the Containment Facility and enter. Walking up to the receptionist, she pulls up an envelope sealed with a wax stamp.
Receptionist: ”John Freemaneth?”
You nod, and she hands you the envelope, which has your name written on it.
Receptionist: ”The warden said that she won’t be able to meet you in person today, but she left that for you.”
Well, might as well see what’s inside. Taking a seat, you pop the seal and pull out the contents.
The first two pages are handwritten.
Addressing the representatives of Vranhal - The situation with Matis Emiel is more complicated than I thought. While he was initially imprisoned for an accident in Teleiat, there is protocol in place that prevents him from being released even if he was to be pardoned for the accident.
The protocol in question is itself confidential in its exact nature, but I have pieced together enough bits and pieces. It entails a precise memory wipe and indefinite imprisonment of a subject that was involved in a secret, state-sanctioned experiment if the subject is suspected of leaking information or defect without permission. From what I can tell, this protocol was not initiated in response to the Teleiat incident.
There’s not a whole lot I can do to free Emiel, presenting your case to the state jurisdiction and even the council yielded no results. I’ll see if I can’t poke around a bit, see what’s going on.
Turning the handwritten pages over, you find a dark brown folder with a label on the front.
PARTIAL DECLASSIFICATION FOR REVIEW SECURITY CLEARANCE 3
Opening it up, you’re greeted with - black lines. Where you assume text would be, all you see are black rectangles, leaving only basic words like “and,” “the,” “to,” and so on remaining. Flipping through the pages, they’re all like that - no dates, no names, no places. Until as you’re flipping you see something red, and quickly turn back - Luttiim, circled in red ink. There are more circles on other pages - “north,” “field,” “trees,” “walls,” and others.
The last page in the folder is another handwritten sheet.

"Yes. This is a problem for all of us.
Shall we make our way back to a hideout?"
Tabi: ”Yeah, let’s go.”
Exiting the former shoe store, you find a few people up and about in the area, now that it’s morning. Moving around the city is easier in your uniforms amongst the other students, blending in and avoiding the gaze of the larger number of sentries.
The two of you soon make it to a run-down building on the other edge of the city amongst other dilapidated structures. Tabi knocks on the door and delivers the password, and a number of locks are undone before opening. The two of you are greeted by Bayfri and step inside.
It looks almost like a shack, except made of stone. Just a single room, but at least there’s an upper level that you reach via rickety stairs that are just planks jutting out of the wall.
Bayfri: ”Good to see you two made it. Most of the targets were destroyed, and the Hastae are on the defensive - the number of attacks on our bases, as well as those on criminal syndicates, have dropped off severely.”
Tabi: ”Good thing you told me your preference of backup shelters. Not something the other group leaders do, bet they’re all scattered about.”
Bayfri: ”Aye. Safely scattered about, hopefully.”
Tabi: ”Anyways, Kleigg wanted to ask you about something.”
She waits for you to deliver your request. ____________________

You try to form electrical artifacts of other shapes and sizes - a halo and a flat plane are doable, but they don’t really have a functional difference to the ball. As for how far away they can be, it seems that you can project an artifact out over a long distance and pull it back quickly, but trying to maintain it at a distance for anything more than a second is too straining.
Placing an artifact on the ground doesn’t have any effect until you release control over it, which results in a miniature lightning bolt from the artifact to the ground, and the artifact vanishing.
Artifacts near you can remain indefinitely, it seems. ____________________

And getting answers ourselves, well... going there ourselves and snooping around would probably fall under espionage. Possibly sabotage, even. Legality aside, it's probably locked up even tighter than the containment facility here. Ugh, heaven and earth I despise politics. ... Alright. Linna, we need to return to Vranhal to report back, possibly get reinforcements. Should talk to Emiel first though. I doubt he can tell us much if anything about this, but it's worth a shot. Got a few questions about Constructs I'd like to ask too before we leave. P’orihc and Ki'stha we'll have go scope it out. P’orihc's a telepath and they're both chirop, he's got the best chance of being unseen and they've the best excuse if caught. Thoughts?"

Grabbing a stick, you apply an artifact to it, the balled lightning becoming an electrical crackling over the surface. Smacking the stick into a rock results in the electricity releasing in a powerful flash, leaving a smoldering mark on the rock but the stick untouched.

And getting answers ourselves, well... going there ourselves and snooping around would probably fall under espionage. Possibly sabotage, even. Legality aside, it's probably locked up even tighter than the containment facility here. Ugh, heaven and earth I despise politics. ... Alright. Linna, we need to return to Vranhal to report back, possibly get reinforcements. Should talk to Emiel first though. I doubt he can tell us much if anything about this, but it's worth a shot. Got a few questions about Constructs I'd like to ask too before we leave. P’orihc and Ki'stha we'll have go scope it out. P’orihc's a telepath and they're both chirop, he's got the best chance of being unseen and they've the best excuse if caught. Thoughts?"
Linna: "Sounds like a mess. Talking to Emiel would help since he's involved, right? I can't imagine why he'd hold anything back if it means helping him get his freedom, unless if he's afraid of a death threat."

You see Horoma give a slight nod of her head, and the two of you head downstairs.
The room that has both the exit/entrance and the stairs also serves as a dining room, it looks like, with a large table where Miimas, Tuhota, and the innkeepers are eating.
You and Horoma take a seat, and you start piling it up on your plate. Fried eggs, drake steak, mango slices, apples, and a clay cup of mineral water.
Miimas mostly has fruits on her plate, with a single sunny-side up egg that she takes small nibbles out of. Horoma doesn't seem to have much of an appetite, while Tuhota devours slabs of drake meat and plenty of eggs.
There are three innkeepers - an aged lupus male and female, and a younger female which you assume to be their daughter. While they appear to be eating normally, you can notice the subtle gazes towards Tuhota's ravenous eating and Horoma's clasped hands resting on the table, her ball-jointed wrists visible.

"That... makes a lot of sense. Guess I haven't gotten used to thinking of them as two separate weapons yet. Alright, whenever you're ready."

Re: Ad Infidium (Roll 222)
"Well, freedom would be nice, but with what we know now, Emiel would have to go through a hell of a lot of hassle to get released, and he doesn't seem too upset about the treatment he's receiving. But more than that, I don't buy it for a second that we actually have true privacy in that room, talking to Emiel. Especially if he's on the level of knowing state secrets. I know I wouldn't allow it if I were in charge. And the punishment for letting that info out is a memory wipe and indefinite confinement."
