Summary:
The four characters were travelling to the Gower Chantry for individual reasons. The journey through the umbra to the Chantry took the form of being on a train. There were two other characters, The Old Man and a Akashic Brotherhood (Tao Kuya) in the same carriage. Tao Kuya talked with Shi Zilin. The Porter checked tickets and stopped and talked with The Old Man. There conversation seemed to have been gibberish.
At the station, which was sealed by a correspondence bubble and a spirit bubble (to protect against the Deep Umbra); all the passengers were expected to go through a chamber before entering the Chantry. The Akashic Brotherhood went first. Dylan Fairchild followed. Nicholas Marlowe noticed that the Tao Kuya had dropped something, a small shiny disk. Alarm bells rang…
The metal disk grew and Dylan desperately tried to stopped it and eventually broke out of the glass chamber. Gas was being pumped in to the chamber and now started to fill the station platform. Jimmy Da’ Buzz attempted to slow it’s spread down by use of the Time sphere, but unfortunately failed. By the combined magickal efforts (weather it was by accident or purpose), Nicholas and Dylan managed to separate the Spirit Gauntlet of the device into a glass jar and throw the glass jar against the correspondence bubble.
The correspondence bubble was opened and the jar and the robots were sucked out into the deep umbra. All the characters were then arrested by the Chantries Security and brought in front of some sort of Chantry Administration where they were all given a ultimatum. Wear some magickal anklets or find your own way home through the deep umbra.
End the first part of The Beginning… (due to time constraints).
