Strike hot iron
and call forth sparks
Strike a man
and call forth fury
To shape man or metal
To thy will
Thou must strike
With force
-- Collected sermons of Karras
Last night, an unusual opportunity knocked on my door.
Naturally, I was a little suspicious, but my visitor said the job was too
sensitive to go through the usual channels.
He claimed that an old contact of mine told him where to find me.
I was about to ask him who our mutual friend was, when he managed to... distract me.
The job is to break in the Shoalsgate Station, headquarters of the City Watch, and
quietly frame a certain Lt. Hagen for robbing the Evidence Vault.
Hagen is Sheriff Truant's Number #2 Man and has no doubt made life difficult
for someone he shouldn't have.
My unusually resourceful employer has given me all the information I need to
pull this off, including a very detailed map of the building. All I have to do is
choose a way in, plan my route, and get back out — without alerting the Bulls.
I realize that breaking into Shoalsgate is like looking down a Burrick's mouth with
a lit match, but it would pay me enough to lay low for a while. And it doesn't hurt
to be giving the police some dirty laundry to deal with, either. Besides, with my
luck, if I don't take this job I could end up in there, anyway.
