Prelude To The Stoning
1. [Roger wasn't present at Unity Group much for the past few days... But now he suddenly reappears, looking like a man who's been very busy with something important lately. Without a word, he throws a picture on a desk - a low-quality photograph, showing a Megadeus skulking in the shadows, between two buildings. What little can be seen of the robot is covered in bandages.]
It's how I suspected. He's back. Schwarzwald is alive.
2. [this happens shortly before the mission, and is locked to ??? only]
[Roger received a tip from Angel about Schwarzwald's whereabouts - it's surprising the woman knew about all this, but she's always been a mysterious lady. The negotiator arrives at the scene, which turns out to be a big, fancy party at the top floor of one of Paradigm's most luxurious buildings. Everyone is wearing masks, and Roger also receives one - but while the crowd engages in debauchery, most of them completely drunk, he stays away from the party and looks around. There is a reason he came here.]

[Roger pulls out a piece of paper - a very generous severance check for Schwarzwald, from Paradigm Corp. He hands it over to the mummy.]
You know what this is, I'm sure.

"This is my answer. This corrupt city will burn. Its domes are ineffectual, useless - people need to become aware! Experience themselves what has happened 40 years ago."
Mid-speech, the guests' masks suddenly burst into flames as well! Screams of agony can be heard through the room as they try to pry them off and run away.

[Seeing this happen, Roger quickly rips off his own mask! And then, among the pandemonium, he tries to pounce at the mummy man!]
Schwarzwald...!
no subject
Unfortunately Schwartzwald leaps back and away - through a window in fact. This is not a panicked attempt at fleeing, he had this escape planned all along!
1/2
[Roger keeps pursuing, though his way down is a bit longer for obvious reasons. He raises his watch/communicator.]
Norman, call an ambulance to my location. No, call several. And let Unity Group know Schwarzwald made his move.
I'm going after him.
