''Lady Geist arrives at McGinnis' workshop. McGinnis is busy welding something.''
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Pardon me, Ms. McGinnis... I believe we started off on the wrong foot.
 
''McGinnis continues working.''
 
'''{{PageRef|name=McGinnis}}:''' I'm busy.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' I understand that, it's just -
 
'''{{PageRef|name=McGinnis}}:''' None of the other big brains at your little party were able to help you?
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Yes
 
'''{{PageRef|name=McGinnis}}:''' Sucks to be you.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Mistakes were made.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=McGinnis}}:''' Where's my vase?
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Excuse me?
 
'''{{PageRef|name=McGinnis}}:''' Rich people love to give away stupid shit when they want to apologize. It's always a vase, or a ceremonial mask, or some silver plated cheese cutting set. So again I ask you: where's my vase?
 
''Lady Geist raises a six-pack of beer.''
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' It's not quite a vase, but I'm told the proletariat love it.
 
''McGinnis continues working.''
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' ... That was a joke. Please, c... can we talk?
 
'''{{PageRef|name=McGinnis}}:''' ... [sighs], come with me.
 
''Lady Geist and McGinnis enter a different part of the lab.''
 
'''{{PageRef|name=McGinnis}}:''' You're not used to not getting your way, are you?
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' No.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=McGinnis}}:''' I appreciate the honesty.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Can you help me?
 
'''{{PageRef|name=McGinnis}}:''' Can I? Sure. Will I? Haven't decided yet.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Why's that?
 
'''{{PageRef|name=McGinnis}}:''' Well, on the one hand: it's an interesting challenge. On the other, you're just a bad person.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Your mind is the engine that drives the occult war machine! Within a decade your inventions will claim millions of lives, if they haven't already.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=McGinnis}}:''' Ye-uh-Sure, but my job is designing weapons. That makes me a monster in the theoretical sense. You're basically a serial killer.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Eh.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=McGinnis}}:''' Give me a reason to help you. Something... interesting.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' I have money.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=McGinnis}}:''' [Scoffs], I said interesting.
 
''Lady Geist ponders for a moment.''
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' It will likely be 50 years before there's another maelstrom. Do you really want to wait that long before you try to harness the power of a god?
 
'''{{PageRef|name=McGinnis}}:''' [Chuckles]... now we're talking.
 
''Lady Geist and McGinnis toast with their beers.''

''Lady Geist enters Abrams' office. Abrams is sitting at his desk.''
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Detective Abrams. I'm sorry I missed you at the party.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' I'm sorry, who are you?
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Lady Jeanne Geist.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' Huh, you sound French.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' I am.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' Thought you'd be German.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' I married one.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' Guess that makes sense.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' I'm getting bored, detective.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' You want me to work on my tight five?
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' I want you to tell me what you want.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' ... I need to show you something.
 
''Abrams places the Tome on his desk.''
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' You know what this is?
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' A book.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' A tome! Something ancient. Something powerful.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' What does it... do?
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' Steal life. Sound familar?
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Detective, are you implying -
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' I think we're past lying, Mrs. Geist.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Ms. Geist.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' I thought you married a German.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' He died.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' I'm shocked.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' I loved my husband, Detective. And if you imply otherwise ever again, they will never find your body.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' You're not lacking for confidence.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Like you said: we're past lying.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' Hm.
 
''Abrams opens the Tome and locates a ripped page.''
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' Take a look at this. May I see your hand, please?
 
''Lady Geist places her Oathkeeper hand on the page. The symbols on the page match her hand.''
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' The symbols, they -
 
'''[[Oathkeeper]]:''' [ROARS].
 
''Abrams slams the Tome shut.''
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' What the hell was that?!
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' That shouldn't have been possible!
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' What do you mean?
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Oathkeeper is oblivious to the world outside his prison. ''I'm'' supposed to be able to choose when he sees, w-when he speaks, and - and even then, only I can hear him.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' I think it's safe to assume Oathkeeper and the Tome are connected.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Indeed... What do we do?
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' We summon the Patrons.
 
== 4c - Decisions Decisions ==
''Lady Geist and Johann Jr. are in Lady Geist's home.''
 
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' No.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' You promised you would help me!
 
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' With the ward, sure. Not with making a deal with the devil.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' "The devil." [scoffs], don't be so dramatic...
 
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' You're not foisting Oathkeeper on me, end of story!
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' What would ''you'' have me do?
 
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' You know a bunch of horrible people, I'm sure any one of them would ''love'' to live forever at the cost of someone else's life.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Of course I do! The question is who do I know that wouldn't turn on me the first chance they got.
 
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' What about [[Maximilian Fairfax|Mr. Fairfax]]?
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Not a horrible suggestion... I'm sure he'd try to either bind or weaponize Oathkeeper, but that would be his problem, not mine.
 
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' "Weaponize"?
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' The Occult Industrial Complex never sleeps.
 
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' Don't go to Fairfax.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' No, no, it was a good idea!
 
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' There has to be someone else.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Ah! What about [[Shelly Fisher]]?
 
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' ... How do you know that name?
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Oh, I went through your files last week when you invited me over for dinner.
 
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' Why would you do that?!
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Because I knew you would never reveal your patients' personal information!
 
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' That woman. Is ''sick''.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Which ''means'' she's desperate! And desperate people make wonderful prospects.
 
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' Leave her alone.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Your morals seem fairly arbitrary.
 
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' I can't do this anymore.
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Here we go again...
 
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' That thing in your arm is a ''cancer.''
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Which is why I'm trying to remove it!
 
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' But you're not! You're trying to pass it onto someone else! There's no cure for Oathkeeper, dad brought you as much time as he could, but time is up!
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Finding a new host was your idea!
 
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' And I was wrong! Everything about it is wrong!.. I have to go...
 
''Johann Jr. leaves.''
 
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Children...
