-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 Zhongguo got their own Bomb, but they refer to her to a local that has managed to extract people wanted by Rigasia: Iorena herself.+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. 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.

-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. 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.

 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. 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. 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.
