So long, Marianne.

URIEL finds itself standing before some real, unfettered god-magic.

The final showdown between URIEL and their greatest nemesis to date: a UC Berkeley grad student.

URIEL implements the Atlantis LARP • The con divides into teams • Viv — sorry, the Council — gives a stirring speech • Archie, as Director Sebastian Stone, delivers some wise words of encouragement to his agents • Jocasta — Maurdunn — meets Terence McKenna • Marshall babysits Andy with the cavalry • The teams explore the warped reality of the upper floors

Charley partially restores power to the St. Francis then takes a moment to perform post-mortem electroencephalogy on the carcass of a girtablullû.

Mitch, Jocasta, and Agent 00 stumble upon a disturbing little soiree on the upper floors of the St. Francis, hosted by a kusarikku named Roscoe.

The team at the St. Francis reunites to debrief and discuss their next moves as the ontological situation rapidly deteriorates.

A shot right between the eyes. “Well, so much for the hangers-on.”

URIEL learns the extent of Carl and Richie’s plan • Archie delivers his latest memetic masterpiece to the St. Francis • Mitch asks Jocasta her thoughts on fascism and human nature • Later he crashes the Special Ones’ suite and throws a tape player out the window • Viv and Roger get the ball rolling on the Atlantis A-Risen LARP • Marshall welcomes a kill-team from Granite Peak and lays siege to LeConte Hall • Jocasta gets ready to hunt bear • Roger catches a psychedelic barb in the face • Archie and Charley cross the threshold, together

Jocasta, Roger, and Mitch deal with the fallout of their tussle with the girtablullû coin-keeper while three bašmu men in black make a break for it in a hijacked car.

Mitch finds a coin from a time and place that has never existed.

Jocasta and Mitch encounter one of the Red Kings’ servants cleaning a coin in the St. Francis Hotel basement.

Westercon ‘73 gets a little strange • The St. Francis slips deeper into ontological instability • Viv meets the field team • Jocasta arrives at the scene, loaded for bear • Roger runs damage control • The office team debates how to counteract Carl and Richie’s plan • Marshall worries about the PR fallout with Granite Peak • Archie starts formulating the idea of a meme-laden live-action “role playing game” • Mitch and Jocasta go bull hunting

Roger enlists Viv’s aid to implement URIEL’s game-meme — Atlantis Arisen! — at Westercon ‘73.

"That's a large and effective parcel," Mitch says in Danbe. It sounds better in Danbe.
