Justice Department Armoury

Hapi's Havens and Hazards: on the River of Life

Justice Department Armoury , Council Spires Eternal City, Heaven and
'Chi' Division, Hall 23, Halls of Progress, Science Park, Eternal City, Heaven

(This is not the real Armoury, that is in the Church of the Sword. Nor is it the real Hall 23. Even the real Hall 23 isn't the "Real" Hall 23. The Real Hall 23 is in Annexe 51!) No this is more in line with the cupboard found in Headmaster's (Principal's) Office in High School. In a box, in one corner are all the things that have been confiscated over the Millennia; that no-one has found a use for... or dared to reclaim. This area is watched over by a horde of proto-Cherubim Relievers and quite a few full Cherubic Technicians. There is all sorts of testing going on; with sudden releases of Essence and Infernal Vessels being vaporised in novel ways.

In nominal charge of this area is an elderly Malakite Servitor of Creation Desmoniel Angel of Gimmicks and in service to Jean as a Vassal of Lightning. He is a close personal friend of Manaxiel Liber Reliquarum p. 124.

In charge of the paperwork are a number of Seraph Servitors of Yves who will deal the Operatives on a personal basis. Needless to say it is Egyptian week - if you didn't know better. 'Chi' (his departmental title) explains (as if to a flock of junior Angels with one Ethereal force between them) :

"Now pay attention Brother Angels. Where you are going in "Khem"… (= 'Black Land' - the old name for Egypt) … there is going to be a big "New Year Happening" as I believe the modern term goes… (He is exactly right!) … at Philae. Now all sorts of weirdoes and long hairs will be descending upon the place - so you… (Points at an appropriate Angel) …will be right at home. Thus we have an ideal chance to air all these wonderful Artifacts captured during the Purity Wars and check if they still work !"

The Hardware

The Players must:

NOT experiment here. If they want to play they should go Corporeal. Preferably as far out into the desert as they can get.
NOT take them outside the Bunker. These Items will explode. They will be issued in the field but must be signed for NOW!
Carry the Mundane Legal documentation as to their provenance at all times. They are all antiques of great value and will cause questions to be asked; if found on their persons by Temporal Authorities eg Customs, Police etc.
NOT be seen with them in public especially by the Egyptian Antiquarian Authorities; outside of a ritual context eg shopping.
The Staffs are Hard (IN= Tough) to conceal. The Flail, Crook, Mace and Sceptres could be considered as dangerous weapons. Operatives get one each. If the players decline, you can easily find some other way to introduce them.
