Quote:Detective Holiday
First of all, I understand that you are a busy person, so I apologize for having to take so much of your time with something so vague, however, the guilt is somewhat assuaged by the fact that compared to the act of an acquaintance of mine, this intrusion will be quite minor.

The purpose of this letter is to make a request of you, to stop the murder of an individual who you will meet shortly in circumstances most extraordinary. Due to the laws that bind my kind, I can not give you many details about this individual at present, but I trust that your keen instinct, along with hopefully some more clues produced by yours truly, will assist you in discovering and then saving the life of the individual.

What I can say about this individual is that you will meet them soon, and you will be ordered to kill them soon. While I know that someone like you would not normally agree to kill someone under any orders, I must stress that these circumstances will be quite odd. In three weeks you will be abducted from your home by an extra-planar entity. There is nothing that you can do to prevent this, I suggest you prepare as best you can. You must ensure that the individual survives, if you succeed in this mission, you will be rewarded with something beyond your imagination.

I understand that this letter seems like the work of a madman, whether you heed it or not though, know that your fate is to be abducted, I am simply giving you a warning and a request. You will find attached to this letter a list of events that have occurred today, will continue today, as well as three miracles that you will witness in the next two days. I hope that convinces you, and that you will agree to my terms.

-Sincerely, An Acolyte

P.S. This letter will dispose of itself in 48 hours, to hinder otherworldly prying eyes.

"Hmmm."

Cia read over the other letter and mentally filed it away. She mused on the letter, and decided to take a plunge.

Their breathing began to slow as they sunk themselves deep into their own mind, where the link to the ancient Library of Sages laid. They raised a hand as a book placed itself in it, and she took one last deep breath before opening it.

She closed the book instantly and opened her eyes, returning to her office and hearing once again the whirrs and buzzings of modern society, the information they desired at the surface, along with some other, at the moment, needless nonsense.

"Shit."

Cia wiped their brow and stood up, getting various things in order and making calls. Three weeks to prepare wouldn't be enough, but maybe one of these miracles could help. She'd have to make a call to get some upgrades, ensure that her affairs were in order, just in case, and finally, they'd have to make sure to hire a bird sitter.


Description: Tall and a bit broad humanoid in a bulletproof black trenchcoat, black boots, and dark brown pants with a stylish detectives fedora with a silver ribbon. Their dark green hair is scruffy, wild, and uneven, very often getting in front of their eyes. Her face often has a kind smile, but it can also turn into a smirk when she has you cornered. Notably while most of her dark skin seems humanlike, her fingers are a dark metal grey with notable joints.
Items/Abilities: As an augmented human, Cia is extremely durable, can endure weeks without food without food or water, and has far above average athletic skill. They are additionally skilled in a large number of weapons, with a speciality in concealed defensive weaponry, such as their signature baton that is able to slide out of the bottom of their wrist.

She is also a world class detective, capable of advanced levels of reasoning even prior to going through augmentation. In addition to the various benefits of augmentation, Cia has also connected to a mysterious database called the Library of Sages, allowing her to consult an entire cosmic library of information. It is her last resort due to the toll that accessing an entire civilizations knowledgebase takes.
Theme Song: The Sanctuary (Darling Violetta)
Standing here, The way ahead's becoming clear
All across these new frontiers
In my hands I hold the ones I love
Walk forward through the cold dawn
Always to new horizons
