Yorick Vaughn's Residence

Ewan Cromwell INT: 37

Ewan realizes as he enters as he enters the password what a terrible error he has made. Someone as brilliant as Vaughn would never have written his password on the wall like that. The hologram projectors powers up immediately while the screen itself powers down.

"Don't bother teleporting, Mister Wick." The voice was old and sounded like death's taxman. Ewan turns to learn the late Doctor has left a surprise for intruders. He seemed even older than in the photographs, and certainly thinner, his lifesize hologram reminding Ewan more of a ghost than a recording. "I've converted the equipment into a tachyon field detector and explosive device. The moment you attempt to activate your gift, this house will become your smoking grave. I have already bought the next few miles pf land, so thankfully, no lives will be lost but yours..."

Kikiya Haskie: 11

Kikiya sees an unknown young man and who appears to be Dr. Vaugh himself conversing.

Ewan, aware of his current predicament, yet also quite unaware, decided to see if the hologram had anything else to say, momentarily looking to where he saw a bird tapping on the window.
At this point, he considered his options, powers were probably a bad idea, as he did not know if the field responded to specific powers of this wick, or the source in general. Further there was little use for Morphic resonance in his current situation. He then looked at the bird once again, as it kept tapping, before looking around the room again, considering if he could get the hard drive out of the PC before leaving. He then wondered if there was anything stopping him from just leaving the house without using powers at all, then looking at the window again, as he realized the bird was still tapping on the window, and began actually focusing on said bird.

Ewan Cromwell Int: 50

It takes Ewan only three seconds to kneel down and disarm the bomb via disconnecting it from the computer. It takes another second to realize Kikiya is a Starborn, either via possession or direct control, and another two seconds to realize the proper password was more likely 'Wormhole'. not 'Worm' or any specific line in the poem, by studying the art more carefully. Meanwhile, the hologram continues its eulogy.

"Before you meet your maker, I just want you to know... the perfect circle can be broken." Then the hologram blinks out of existence, along with what Vaughn presumed to be this 'Mister Wick' and a few miles of real estate. The room is dark again.

Kiyiya flapped into the room, landing and looking around for a moment before his form shifts back to normal. "Have a fun chat?"

Ewan Cromwell INT: 44

Ewan could deduce that the stranger of Native American stock, very likely the local Okwaho tribe judging by clothing and accent. Beyond that, there were only a few parties that could currently be interested in investigating Yorick Vaughn's residence.

The first was Hans Willingham himself, who could be ruled out. The second was the U.S. government, who infamously did not employ Starborn, and it was highly unlikely a Native American of any tribe would work for them. The third was the mysterious Mr. Wick, which remained altogether possible. The final option was Trustwell, who would have a vested interest in keeping possible rogue wormhole use out of the public eye. They were also already known to employ to Starborn under complex legal loopholes that were akin to indentured servitude.

Of the two choices, Trustwell seemed the more reliable guess, until this 'Wick' person could be investigated further. If so, it was likely he was under orders to remove any possible witnesses who might connect Trustwell to this case, and Ewan would be better served playing dumb.

Kiyiya Haskie INT: 8

Kiyiya sees a white dude, with an accent that sounds kind of British. Maybe.
