This isn't looking good.

Shit. Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit.

Arkady made a comment on my last post about how he’s now decided to go after Sky in order to draw the Boss out, and suddenly our apartment has become the center of this whole conflict. And everyone who’s had a grudge against our organization is targeting us. Someone tried anonymously posting our address in reply to Arkady, but I managed to delete that comment. But since his email is public, that’s not really going to stop them from getting the word out. Someone even spray painted a big operator symbol on our door during the night, like a target over us. And things are getting even nastier for proxies in this city. A few days ago, one of Fracture’s teams vanished in the night. Two days later, their bodies were found strung up from the street lights. At first we thought Arkady was to blame, but his methods are usually to just kill his enemies as quickly and brutally as possible, then move on. These four proxies looked like they had been kept alive and beaten for hours before they were finally killed. Now I’m having to send out notifications to proxies to be wary of potential lynch mobs in any neighborhoods where the residents might have grudges against us or the Boss.

I’d hoped we would move to a different location once it became clear that this one had become compromised, but I guess that’s expecting too much out of Ahriman. He’s hoping that we can use this as a chance to prepare and fight Arkady in a position of strength. Except it seems that when he tried selling that idea upstairs, they weren’t very convinced. Probably because of how great things turned out last time we tried throwing all our resources at him.

So all we’ve got is the Jacksons guarding us. This is going to suck.
