Divine Authority covereth a multitude of gender-assumptions... And they worry a lot more about class, wealth, origin, and connections than about gender on Maximus.



Corco handles the transition to the tomb-temple of Maximus. He picks up a book on the grand temple complex, lays it on the ground and pushes a bit of metal protecting the corner of its cover. The rivet dent of the metal slides open to reveal a lens, and projects a hologram of a large double door framed in marble pillars, and covered in golden engravings. Corco hands V a large glowing sword, which makes V glow when its held:



"Good idea. No one expects subterfuge out of THAT form. Take this. It will help the effect."


He gestures for V to open the door, which turns out to be fairly solid. The doors swing open, and V is in room of marble masonry covered in murals. The doors swing shut behind him, and then fade into a relief in the wall.



The only light comes V and the sword, but it fills the massive room, and V suspects a non-angelic body would find it mildly too-bright. The room is about 25 feet deep and 50 feet wide. The Murals depict many battles, most prominently the four chimeric soldiers fighting against legions of demons and of undead. To one side of the room is a great bell, and there is a door beside it.

As a GM aside, I think the situation will unravel well with two agents picking at each end.

I'm ready to move out.

Just before Halcyone is about to leave, a young boy with a deep Mediterranean tan brings a bag of gear and some freshly baked food for Halcyone. "Great Aunt Sarrissa wishes you luck!". Its some sort of calzones.


Corco finds a book on the Lithus, and once again pushes the rivet to produce a hologram. This time the hologram is merely of a dark and narrow alley with sand embedded in the aged asphalt surface. The lighting is poor.



"Good Luck." Corco waves as Halcyone moves into the alley. The alley has few windows, but when Halcyone moves out of it, she can see busy indoor market just to her left. Small shops are set up indoors, selling everything from fresh meat to used cell phones. People are haggling, visiting looking things up on their phones, and looking around for interesting things to buy. There is a shortage of greenery, but despite the market setting, most people look clean.



It seems to be the east Market in Lithus city, not terribly far from the Rebel headquarters in the old governor's palace. This deep in the city, the only indication of the desert is the dry air and the occasional sand particle.


will be Halcyone dressed like a soldier or like a civilian? Will she be displaying her medals and weapons, or keeping them hidden?
