The
Beloved Dust, a group of investigators and operatives with Divine
mandate, learns that there is an imminent threat targeting
Composure's Coliseum* during a important (and highly populated)
ritual. Former excerpt and pilot of the Divine Belgard,
⸢Signet⸣, trades favors
religious and mundane. The dilapidating assassin Fourteen
Fifteen blends into the audience to see things from a higher
ground. And Tender Sky, a highly skilled digital architect, enters
the event directly in order to protect it from the
inside.
Before anything else, recognize what is at
stake.

Composure's
Coliseum
In
the year 28350AM, in the middle of a boom in historical interest on
the part of the Fleet's citizens, the Divine Composure built a this
innovative structure that blended virtual mesh space and and
material reality. At first, the Coliseum simply offered its
audience a place to watch re-enactments of foundational events
in the broad history of the MIlky Way. But not content with pure
replication, Composure's excerpt made these simulations
interactive, allowing for outcomes far different than the recorded
past. Because of the many possible outcomes, these
re-enactments offer the public a chance to consider other
possible worlds. Attendees describe the experience
as stimulating to both mind and soul, and it is due
to their popularity that the events continued long after the
death of Composure.
