Part One: Past Debts Due

Briefing

Character, it is time to do the things left undone in Sorceress Serene's wake. I think we can both agree that the first thing we should do is release poor Katie Douglas from the Seer Network.

She will need a familiar face to regain her bearings and I think you would do well to be the one to release her.

  • Agreed.

Good, I only hope that once released she is willing to help me study some strange psychic disturbances I've been sensing. First Ward has always had strange psychic activity, especially with the arrival of the Vortex, but this is both familiar and strange at the same time. That these disturbances started following Serene's death cannot be a coincidence.

I will continue looking for a pattern in these disturbances, but I could certainly use Katie's help.

Release Katie Douglas from the Seer Network

Unnecessary Solicitation

The longer Katie stays in the Network, the more apprehensive she will become. She may have the body of an adult, but she still has the mind of a teenage girl. She will not easily forgive what had to be done, even if she knows it was for the best.

Mission Objective(s)

The air in here is absolutely freezing!

  • Access the Network
    • Discover what happened

  • Investigate the Source of the Dead Memories

You have defeated Tear in Reality.

  • Close the other Tears in Reality

You have defeated Tear in Reality.

  • Access the Network

The Seer Network Logs indicate that at some point the Network experienced unauthorized psychic activity. Three minutes later every seer in the network, Katie Douglas included, had disappeared!

The logs are as follows:

Log Entry 2.011.178.1100 - Network at 19% Capacity: No Change
Log Entry 2.011.178.1200 - Network at 19% Capacity: No Change
Log Entry 2.011.178.1300 - Network at 19% Capacity: No Change
Log Entry 2.011.178.1357 - Warning, Unauthorized Psychic Activity Detected.
Log Entry 2.011.178.1400 - Network at 0% Capacity: Error. Diagnostic Underway.
Log Entry 2.011.178.1405 - Diagnostic Complete. Network at 0% Capacity: Seers Disconnected From Network. Authorization For Disconnect Unknown. Whereabouts Unknown. Log Submitted To Praetor Tilman. Network Entering Standyby Mode.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Release Katie Douglas from the Seer Network
    • Enter the portal into Night Ward
    • Go with Whispering Coyote to Katie Douglas

Something mysterious is happening and you aren't exactly sure who or what is behind it. Return to Mistress Maria to get to the bottom of this mystery.

Debriefing

You did it! I can sense Katie's mind once more, but the spirit world is merging closer to our own with every heartbeat, Character.

I spoke with Blind Makwa, and according to him, Whispering Coyote believes that the secret to stopping the transition lies within the Midnight Mansion... well now it seems we have recovered our means to return there, assuming Katie is willing to help.
