- The Sprawl, 19th August, Dawn -

Enoch Solomon sat in his bed drinking from a bottle of aguardente. All around him books, furniture and his tools laid strewn across the floor. He had just gotten back to his small home in The Sprawl before the Tremor struck. He was so immersed into his actions less than a bell ago that at first he did not realize the world was shaking around him.

He could still see the man's face has he drove the dirk into his heart. The surprise and pain in that intimate moment that passed between them. The moment where two lives converged on a single place in time and space and only one walked away from. He knew the man to be a spy. A spy sent to uncover the secrets of the Red Crew. To learn who their members were and their plans. But still, he probably had a family. Children that would grow up with a father. A wife that would no longer feel her husband embrace.

He pushed that to the side and looked around. The tremor had been strong. He had read books and thesis about them in the past and how they originated but could not recall ever having felt one during his lifetime. He took another swing of the fiery liquid and grimaced. An Earthquake in Dusk. In the eve of one of their most daring plans against the establishment. An omen of disaster or a sign that high born were about to collapse? Only time would tell.

Tomorrow he and the others would put in to motion their orders.
