The comments beside the names seem disjointed. They were clearly hastily written, and there’s nothing to suggest what each is "involved" in.
She’d eliminated the ones who were in other city-states. It’s possible they’d managed to get in and out of the city using a teleportation power. But, those powers are influenced by distance. The Alliance and the New Republic are far out to the west, and the Steel Empire is on the eastern seaboard.
And no one really knew much about the Black Keep save for a general location.
My own identity had been cleared of this wrongdoing. Though the words “not connected” are different from “not involved.”
Almost like a certainty. Like total exoneration.
I swallow thickly and move on.
Bloody Mary’s involvement is apparently questionable, but why? She’s involved. That much is certain from how she’s been watching me.
Waiting for me.
Caring for me.
I take a large swig of my drink and find the final name.
Revenant.
The man is allegedly a hitman, but he's essentially a serial killer who does the occasional corporate hit. His Darkness-type affliction is the strongest on record. He might even be able to outdo me when it came to fighting from the shadows.
I open up the dPad and swipe to the RISE entry for Revenant.
7. Revenant
The readout populates and it feels as though Kronos’ time dilation has fallen over the whole bar.
Revenant is a well-known public threat. His name has been on the lips of most new reporters for years. Calls for him to be brought to justice were always met with NCPD concerns of not having enough information. Of not knowing his true capabilities. Of not knowing his identity.
The database I had access to both as a civilian and as an NCPD associate had been the same. It had been sparse on details.
So why does Bellick have access to everything about Revenant?
Identity:Rafael Gomez. Powers: Tier 5, Darkness-type. Last Seen: October 25th, 1030 A.D. - 400 Block, New Chicago.
Description:Six foot, 225 pounds. Brown hair, green eyes.
Notes:Rafael Gomez (Revenant) is a Tier 5 Remnant with the ability to phase through shadows. He will often appear as a dark silhouette, preferring to maintain anonymity through these means. Most of his abilities are utilitarian, but his invulnerability while using powers makes him capable of mass destruction.
NCPD Instructions:Avoid. He will try to kill you. Reach out to Francesca Bellamy-Carter at DAEMON for further instructions.
I stare down at the tablet in my hand for what feels like hours. The DAEMON contact isn’t a name I recognize, but it puts DAEMON squarely at the center of this.
Going directly to the corp is likely a death sentence. At least right now while both the NCPD and the Guild are looking for me.
I look up my own identity, but find it as redacted as the others in the top four. Which is both reassuring and disconcerting.
