			Prophet and Daryl are drinking together at {{placeref\|Forbidden
			City}}. Darly notices that Lady {{npcred\|Hortencia Felicia Gallaraga y
			Toro}} has entered the bar, accompanied by a friend (Lady Selena).
			Hortencia also has a male escort with generic good looks, named
			{{npcref\|Fernando}}. Prophet invited Hortencia to join them, but she
			indicates that she's with people and can't. She's been laying low,
			trying to avoid anything tht might injure her reputation further. As
			it happens, Hortencia was hoping Prophet & co might be able to help
			her friend with some difficulties she's having.

			When the three of them reach Lady Hortencia's table, Fernando gets up
			and goes to sit at the bar. While {{npcref\|Callisto}} comes up short,
			{{npcref\|Tinky Winky}} tells Daryl that Selena's only been around for
			a couple years, she's known for being able to put people together and
			grease situations. {{npcref\|Clio}} tells Selena that it really is the
			same Prophet she knew many, many years ago, still in the PI biz, and
			that he recently helped Lady Hortencia out of a bit of a jam.

			Prophet gets right to business and asks Selena about her problem.
			Seems she's been getting threatening messages, expressing hostility
			about her recent arrival and attempts to become part of the local
			scene. They agree to meet at the office tomorrow to get a grip on the
			case. Selena leaves early, and after she's gone, Prophet asks about
			their history together. Seems one of Lady Hortencia's sons was good
			friends with Selena, and they became friends. Hortencia got to see the
			filming of an episode of AF199 recently. AF199 is a science fiction
			"monster of the week" show set on a reclaimed Earth starring Patricia
			Broadbottom, featuring a pro-Reclaimer, pro-biomorph agenda. We finish
			our drinks with her but when Fernando returns, Prophet and Daryl make
			their excuses.

			Selena attends a fancier party where she's expected, says hi to some
			fancy people, and returns home at a reasonable hour.

			That night, Edward hacks Selena's messaging system. He finds the
			offending messages and downloads them to local storage without being
			detected, but he can't find the sender. Whoever sent them has covered
			their tracks well. Edward can't tell if this about Selena's current
			identify or something coming back from her old life.

			Selena returns from her ball, goes to bed, and has a nightmare about
			walking down a red carpet when the questions coming from the crowd
			become the sort of questions asked in the threatening mails. Also,
			when she wakes up, there's a dead body on her floor. It's a woman's
			body, propped up so she's looking at the head of the bed and pointing
			at it. There's a pool of blood on the floor. At Clio's advice, Selena
			touches the body and finds it cold to her touch. Clio tries to find
			the surveillance footage of the corridors outside but gets tied up
			trying to find activity during the relevant time period. She activates
			her facial recognition program and finds out that the body is Ming
			Haowei, wearing a pleasure pod. She goes by Ying Hua, Mandarin for
			"Cherry Blossom," and works as a headline dancer at a prominent
			eroto-club called Haze. Selena calls Prophet and wakes him up. Body on
			the floor. Yeah. Problem. Prophet wakes up Daryl to get him in, and
			rings Edward as well. Edward confirms the law is on its way. Prophet's
			thinking run, Daryl's thinking that running now just makes her look
			guilty, but then whoever set this in motion probably already has a
			frame set. Conclusion: don't rely on innocence, run. Daryl offers to
			scout ahead while Prophet gets Selena going and Edward looks for
			evidence of... well, anything, really.

			Edward hacks the surveillance outside Selena's apartment, allowing
			Prophet to get her out without being observed. With Daryl scouting
			ahead, Edward can engineer extremely brief roving surveillance
			outages, and the three of them end up in a taxi to {{placeref\|Peacock
			Tower}}, a location Prophet knows well from the case he worked for
			Lady Hortencia.

			The three of them arrive without incident. Edward stops hacking once
			they're in a place where the hosts will agree to cover for them.
			Edward recommends sweeping her ASAP and turning off her mesh inserts.
			Prophet asks for a girl he's worked with before and goes up to her
			room to have a private conversation. Tinky Winky coaches Daryl on
			checking Selena for bugs, and we cannot find any sign of a bug. As we
			all relax over drinks, Prophet asks Selena for the whole story.

			Edward analyzes crime scene footage and concludes that the dead woman
			in Selena's quarters was killed somewhere else, moved there, and then
			stabbed. Edward and Prophet both try to figure out where the high-end
			pleasure pod might have come from. Haze is a new club with a lot of
			good buzz around it, built into a stalactite hanging from the top of
			the cavern/dome. The transparent dance floor of Haze lets people look
			straight down at the city. The owners, inevitably, have strong
			underworld connections. The bartender known as {{npcref\|Long William}}
			has a reputation for having the very best lunar weed. Daryl calls his
			scum friend {{npcref\|Ernest}} to ask who's trading in top notch
			pleasure pods these days. Ernest doesn't know why this guy he only
			knows through their mutual friend {{npcref\|Barking Dog}} thinks he
			knows a damn thing about pleasure pod dealers. Prophet can't figure
			out why there's such a high end pleasure pod at Haze. They're more
			into biomorphs like Slyphs, and people desperate enough to do pods
			probably aren't paying for top notch high end stuff. Maybe this dancer
			ended up in this pod because she owed somebody a whole hell of a lot.
			Edward goes to run down Ying Hua and see what there is to know.
