To: Investigations, Security From: Teresa Auerbach CC: Seanne Rystaad, Jenna Mercado, Arcane Subject: Ken Loper
Effective today I am officially listing Ken Loper, Head Researcher, as missing. He has not been answering his calls or texts and has not be present at his home or workspace for 2 days at least. I spoke with Rowan Malory, Loper's girlfriend, and she showed me a goodbye letter written by him.
It seems that Ken went off to cast a very dangerous spell. He had been stealing Rowan's blood surreptitiously for some time in order to weave it. Rowan tells me that his intent was to summon "The First Aten". Why he would want to do this, and where he would need to cast the spell are unclear at this point. I have CC'd Arcane this email in the hopes that the experts there may be able to come up with a working theory regarding this.
I will be beginning a formal investigation into Ken's whereabouts, and will be assigning any available agents to this case. I will begin a search of Ken's workspace in Egypt as well as his apartment for any clues.
Any information that anyone has regarding Ken's recent activity or behavior, no matter how insignificant, is greatly appreciated.
Ken is one of ours. And he's a friend, no matter how much of a hard time I gave him I never felt otherwise. Let's bring him home.

Some preliminary questions before starting on this. Where was his last known location, and can I have a look at the letter Ken left behind? It might give Arcane some clues as to what Ken was attempting, and possibly some avenues we can pursue to come up with a theory.
If possible, I would like to talk with Rowan to see what she knows about Ken and this dangerous spell he was attempting.
From the information given, I'm guessing he could very well be in another time, space, or dimension.

Ken was last seen by Rowan at his apartment Friday night. The letter in question is currently in her possession. You may be able to kill two birds with one stone if you were to contact her with any questions you have.

Let's get some people on this right away. We also might wanna see if its related at all to either the recent network problems and the recent bombing. I know its a long shot but it would be nice to rule out the possibility.

Im in on this. I've taken the liberty this morning of reviewing the reports and research Ken sent recently to try to get a glimpse of the ritual, but whatever magickal blueprint he was following has been carefully omitted from the official reports. I've just competed a summoning pact, sending four seeker spirits out to find his trail. They're reliable, but slow - might take days. If we don't find him some other way first, they'll pick up on him eventually.
So much for desk work. I'm shutting down my home terminal now and heading out into the field to do some looking. When I get in range, I'll be on comm.

Well if I find 5 seconds free time I'll run a trace on his phone, buuuut if he has half a brain he's likely left it behind, possibly a better plan would be to search his apartment for anything that was a part of him, a hair, some nail clippings, maybe even a toothbrush or a razor anything like that can be use it to make some fairly potent sympathetic tracing spells. Also worse case if he did steal some of Rowan's blood and she is willing there are some blood rituals that work similarly... just an idea.

ps. we have ruled out comatosed in the bathroom right? just checking given how things went last time we lost an agent.

I'm on it. Do we have Rowan's contact info on file? Beryl and I could team up again for another missing person case.

I'm happy to report that the case has been closed. Ken is currently resting under the watch of Rowan, and as of the last time I saw him, he appeared to be in good health. A full report will follow soon.
PS - in addition to the efforts of the agents mentioned in my previous email, we received critical assistance from one Pvt Cooper (US Army, one of the Ak'ab killers stationed in the Blue Mountains. ), who showed a lot of guts, character, and resolve in helping us to locate Ken and deal with the rescue.
