The last to Sir Carowyn.

Frank nods to Carowyn's comment.

"These people have no idea what say.. FBI or for that matter Amnesty international looks like. I'm not saying they're stupid or savage, but they are ignorant. Get some make shift badges, good enough to fool those we liberate... and whatever happens we explain as government doings?"

He nods slowly.

"I...do not think they trust authorities. Their captors may have furthered this fear with horror stories of what may happen if they are found by authorities." Brekke is dubious.

"So who would they trust? We might be able to pretend to be them"

"I don't trust mortal authorities, so I don't blame them..."

"Pretend to be them? Do we know who they are? Mostly women? Mostly Latina? This was my assumption."

"Yes and yes..."

"Maybe... bear with me.. some kind of church group?"

"That's.. not bad." A nod "People of faith are , at least in some cultures, trusted like few others."

A blink. "That...may work."

"There will be a language barrier, but visual symbols might be enough. Crosses."

She nods.

"And I imagine many of them are Catholic..."

Eyebrow. "A Catholic night-raid team?"

"I actually speak latin...which.. might help sell things?" Carowyn says

"An armed, tactical Catholic night-raid team....."

A slightly bemused look at Frank.

"Well..."

"The Nova Templar program" Carowyn says with an utterly straight face

"I mean, I could pull of Rebel Nun, right?"

"Mm. This seems like it may come back as a problem later...but it also may work for now."

"I know, I know..."

"There's just so many..."

"Do we know how many are here now? I know there are more in transit."

Frank rubs the base of his horns.

A search on the internet "We're talking at least 90 employyes furloughed"

"Even assuming they just work their prisoners twice as hard.. that's 45 people?" A brow

Brekke frowns. "That is...many."

"Exactly..." She frowns.

A sigh. "Perhaps...a single raid is not the way, if we want to keep them out of the hands of authorities. But gradual rescues would alert them...."

"A Trojan horse idea seems impractical."

"If we could stash them somewhere close, and then smuggle them out slowly from there..."

"If...if we bring the Kestrel up at night...invoke the Wyrd upon her...and then smuggle them out onto her....? Bring them back down the lake to here, at least?"

"Do we know if there's anywhere in the area that would work?"

"The impact on the rescued...." regretfully to Brekke's suggestion.

He sighs. "Nothing is without risk."

"I do not know how else to get them out quickly and in one group. Once out...perhaps...perhaps one of the shut-down schools? Or a vacant storefront?"

"Liam are good at helping against Banality...that will aid"

Frank nods agreement Carawyn

Brekke nods slowly. "I will ask Anne Marie about locations. And...." A frown, then a sigh. "We are familiar with a fae who has local real estate. Perhaps he has more resources than we know."

"Yeah? That might be helpful."

Brekke looks to Frank.

Brekke gets an Eyebrow.

"If you feel it is needed." He concedes.

"I feel it may be, yes."

"Caesar? He's generous... he does have connections in the entertainment industry"

"Oh! Caesar!"

"I thought he was in KC..."
