Veronica calls Michael and requests they come to Theta Division HQ. She explains that the comatose person has been the 3rd incident—the other two individuals are in the Paradise City Hospital. She also shows them a strange encrypted message the HQ recieved recently meant to be read by Alpa Team Bravo, and asks for help in cracking it.

Afterwards, the team heads to Michael’s house to start packing for the trip to Luxus.

ATB can roll to help crack it (arcana check):

• On 10 or higher, they uncover the word “help” and the location data
• On a Nat 20, they get the words “help”, “Eden”, “compromised”, and location data

Actions

1. Attempt to unencrypt the message
2. Talk with Veronica more, ask questions
3. Look into the other comatose cases

<aside> 🏥 Players can investigate the comatose cases further and go visit the people at Paradise City Hospital. Both individuals will have hospital staff present, and family members visiting, that players can interact with. Things players can learn here: The 2 victims went comatose suddenly and without warning, they didn’t know each other and had no contact with each other.
