The Sphynx Trap

by Taki

My card symbols so far


 

I have finally gotten in touch with Loki Orinson, who lets me know that Tesla Coil has been captured while he and Loki were investigating the "antique book theft" case. I did a basic reading for where Tesla Coil is going to be, and it turns up Mouse Force in a death trap with Tesla Coil while a woman dressed as an Egyptian catbird laughs and occasionally makes it worse! I expect two things:


 
  1. This is the person who made the crossword puzzle, "S. Sphinx" or something.

  2. This is who just had Moon Knight captured at the museum!

 

Loki will go find Mouse Force right away, thinking they are in the midst of being captured for the death trap.


 

Now I am trying to persuade Taki to stop messing with the styrofoam duplicate in the recycling truck. Let's go save our team!


 

She is focused on her current investigation. She is not listening. Aaargh!


 

The top third of the styrofoam has been smooshed. It seems to all be foam still. Several pieces look to be things besides buildings: ground, streets, low level stuff. Not really the skyscrapers. Taki took as many photographs as she could, including of some hand-written notecards and of the sub-street levels.


 

But when Taki tried to activate the internal press again to crush the recyclables down into a compact layer, the driver noticed her!


 

Moon Knight and Taki trade vehicles: Taki dismounts from the recycling truck and goes running after the dark sedan containing Tesla Coil, figuring Moon Knight will take care of the recycling truck as soon as he is free of the strange net. Bronze Tempest is coming to stop the water tanker truck that is skidding in the intersection. The Black Scarab enemy will be defeated!


 

When I called Apothecary Fu for his wisdom on containing the spilled orange ooze, some woman interrupted! and then threatened to go to his shop!
