The PC's return to talk the Succubus. They meet up with some of the other Mages(the War Cabal except for Kashka) in town. They figure out that the mysterious Patron is probably Mycroft. The Consilium's Sanctum had been raided and the Soulstones of the Consilium are missing along with the owners.
Patrick's character meets Gwen O'Rourke and gets hassled by her Familiar (A Mischief Fetch) They convince Jackson Packard to go with them back to the Succubus' lair since he knows the Rote to put Akira back into his body.
Max does some closer looking at the Hard Drive Soul Jar that Akira is trapped in and gains insight on the casters resonance. i.e. it was created by a Mage, not the Succubus. Some goons show up and gun fire is exchanged. Some friends were injured but Jackson healed them easily. They even got a couple of prisoners. Max figures out that the goons' SMG's were enchanted to do 9 again (for a day) and that it was done by the same Mage who did the Soul Jar.
After some haggling they agree to move Succubus. She offers to be Guardian of the warehouse. But everyone thinks that she'll like eat their souls or something. They figure the safest place would be inside a wall in a college dorm.
