[[npc:agent_kort|Kort]] has paused the [[event:yearly_hunt|Hunt]], and in the resulting mess, [[pc:maelle_kurimoto|Maelle]] requests [[npc:iorena_sevel|Iorena]]'s help to retrieve the frozen body of [[npc:zach_shpak|Zach]] before it's handed to the [[org:Paranormal Foundation]], and gets [[pc:clark_dubois|Clark]] and [[pc:gaia_dynko|Gaia]] mixed up in the mess.
  
 ======Plot====== ======Plot======
  
 +One night in the [[place:Hunter Guildhouse]], Gaia relates to Iorena the events of [[session:4|Session 4]], and when she reaches the point where she had to kill a rigasian soldier, she breaks down. They spend the rest of the night telling stories about Iorena's past until Gaia falls asleep.
 +
 +Maelle learns that the Paranormal Foundation is trying to acquire the frozen body of Zach and tries to get some of her contacts to help; they can't do much because most of them are in a state of alert since [[place:Zhongguo]] got their own [[thing:Bomb]], but they refer to her to a local that has managed to extract people wanted by Rigasia: Iorena herself.
 +
 +In the Staging Grounds, Kort announces that the Hunt is being paused until they can review their procedures and ensure that no further issues like the lake poisoning and the fugitive terrorist can happen.
 +
 +Maelle contacts Iorena to request her help; Iorena is understandably paranoid, though, and interrogates Maelle at gunpoint. Only when she is satisfied does she ask Gaia to bring Clark so they can talk about the frozen body situation.
 +
 +Despite misgivings Clark offers his help and they hash out the situation in the Hunter Guildhouse, revealing to Iorena and Maelle the existence of [[thing:the Glove]]. Which they proceed to do some basic experimentation, during which Clark keeps trying to convince everyone that "he's not a [[thing:gift|freak]]" and "can't freeze things".
 +
 +They discover that the glove does not work for anyone other than Gaia or Clark, but also that when wearing it, Gaia does not only "zone out" but also get a line to something that can give her knowledge. In fact one of the lines from drug-trip world-encompassing Amanda ("Tell the Ice Child that the Temple is not a place") causes Clark to have a panic attack.
 +
 +In spite of the revelations, they decide to steal Zach's body before it can be taken by the Paranormal Foundation:
 +
 +Step one: they cause a bureaucratic mess where the possession of the body comes into question as part of the investigation being run by Kort.
 +
 +Step two: Under pretenses of clearing up the bureaucratic bullshit, Maelle comes back into the field lab and proceeds to make [[npc:ossip_halkin|Halkin]] so furious that he doesn't notice she opening a window
 +
 +Step three: Maelle, Clark and Gaia enter the lab to steal the body; there are some missteps, the worst of which is Gaia burning her hands in the superfrozen body that Clark can apparently touch without problem, but they manage to get it out and drive to safety.

 +The first man Iorena had to kill was a blackcap officer who was getting very pushy with her fourteen-year-old sister; she bashed his head in with a shovel, then she used it to bury him, and finally proceeded to vomit everything she had eaten that week.
