''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.'' | |||
== 4b - Revelation == | |||
''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. | |||

''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... | |||
