Coincidence? There was hardly any coincidence in the world. But the days after he had lost all sight of the traitorous god there was a strange query out in the aether of the internet. A contact from which little was given but there was a name that caught his interest - two actually. Vega and Durante. Though he had learned they'd had a falling out - he didn't know over what.
But maybe this contact would be helpful.
So he set back confirmation. He'd meet in person at a coffee shop in the Enlightened district - near where the former Atharim had lived among the people. Now they were scattered and their following falling apart. The old regus dead. The new a pitiful excuse for a man - a pawn of the Ascendancy's he was sure. But the Atharim was an institution that would survive - it was what it had always done.
The coffee shop was nothing special, but Jerry arrived early, only to find a scarred woman sitting at the prescribed table. But her entorage was about though she sat alone. Several men watched her back and Jerry had come alone. Probably n not the best move. But that was alright. Jerry had come prepared to insure he left. He fumbled the vial in his pocket with his thumb to make sure it was still safely secure. And easily accessible should he need it. She would think twice before double crossing him.
Jerry sat down across from her. "I hear our mutual acquaintances have had a falling out."
