The group then sneaks through groups of guards all the way down to the store room, where they find the vial of nanites.
It's shielded, and Sammael and Darien attempt to get it open with hacking when Setsuna provides her favored solution. She tosses a pile of grenades at oncoming Yakuza, hurting the entire structure of the temple and shorting the power. The shield fades and the group grabs the vial and begins to run as an ancient and evil god awakens in the temple, starting to devour the Yakusa. The group barely makes it out alive.Location: Darien's Mansion
The group gathers after some rest from the previous events. Darien calls up the Kitsune Udon and offers Kasha and Miyuki a job helping them take down the god they may or may not have unleashed on the world. They all gather to have a meal together, where Sammael exhibits some unintended telekenetics, Setsuna acts horney and Kasha begins to devour all of the food, all of it! Accepting for no less then 3 million credits, they exit with Sammael to do some research.
Darien, Cassandra, and Setsuna head to follow a lead at a light tower where a worker named Evans who's signature was found on the DNA signature of the weapon they managed to get during the Triad situation. He's been missing for a long time, so either he was taken by VI or is part of them. At the light house they discover a picture frame of him and some woman, and an old ID number with callers on it - assuming one might have a lead to who took him.
Session 38: Investigations into Gods
Location: Kitsune Udon?
While the one group looks into the leads, Sammael, Miyuki, and Kasha head back to Kitsune Udon to gather supplies they'll need and leads, looking into the 4 gods that escaped.

Gathering the books, actual books, they'll need to track the gods habits, they return to the Kitsune Udon, where Samamel scans all the books to her datapad and returns for Darien's mansion, while the two kitsune prepare their own research party.
At the mansion, Darien has his agents looking into the list of callers and going over the light house for any scraps of clues. There was a trace of blood found, Evans', indicating he might have been taken by force, which means they might have a good chance of his cooperation when they find him. Going over the list of callers, Darien makes the connection one caller was one of the dead scientists - killed by Warren's military unit before they left for space - and that the others might indeed be leads. Out of the 10 numbers, only 2 are scientists that are still about - all the others are missing or died where their remains couldn't be identify through unknown circumstances. One scientist that isn't missing is also the woman in the photo. They prepare to look into her the following day.

Getting in due to Cassandra's fortune and reputation, the group is able to meet with the woman and talk to her, but interest seems to grow in two others present, the sensual dancer on stage that steals their hearts and the little girl who really seems to be running things. Then, a brown haired beautify with pointed ears shows up, Q, one of the escaped Weapons. She seems more interested in learning to dance then them, however.
Then, all hell breaks loose, the dancer is attacked and killed and the next target seems to be the little girl. Cassandra rushes to her defense, protecting her from Q as they both go crashing off the roof. In the scuffle, Q gets away, however, the little girl knocks the group out.

Darien, Sam and Kay are able to track them down and come in guns blazing, they toss Cassandra a weapon and soon the entire team is in unison over taking down the goddess. She's quickly overwhelmed, not a combat diety, and forced into her bottle.
The broken and battered team doesn't have long to rest, however, as after they return home and recuperate a little while, a message goes out informing Darien that VI, the Military, and an unknown force are converging on an area with Subject 13 is waiting.
