===== Genesis - Session 11 Recap =====

The group navigated the immediate aftermath of the battle at Drekanov Manor, dealing with shifting power dynamics at Viroc Industries and the emergence of new world threats. Between strategic discussions at the Gilded Gull and a tense visit to Viroc HQ, the party transitioned from company employees to free agents, eventually accepting a high-stakes delivery mission from Dr. Minerva Sedgwick.

==== Downtime Activities and Mechanics Changes ====
During a period of transition, André introduced several updates to the campaign's mechanics, including a quantification system for **Shardisite** power levels and a new party inventory feature. The group discussed the aftermath of their recent battle, noting that despite the appearance of the first dragon and the Avatar of Radiance, the world remained largely unaware of the full scale of the event. During this time, the party was introduced to Noctis, a Bloodhunter Rogue with a dark and volatile past.

==== Dragon Threat and Investigations at The Gilded Gull ====
The party met for breakfast at The Gilded Gull, discovering that their company badges were no longer active. A local newspaper reported only the death of Seraphim Drekanov, conspicuously omitting the dragon's appearance and the deaths of other family members. Viktor gathered intelligence from the Maitre'D, Tomasz Brenner, regarding the remaining Drekanov brothers—Ernst and Harold. The atmosphere in the restaurant was one of palpable fear as middle management braced for a potential power struggle within the company.

==== Violent Incident at the Canteen ====
While preparing for their next steps, the group visited the Viroc Canteen. Viktor successfully navigated the rationing system to purchase five boxes of **Viroc Meal Biscuits** through negotiation and subterfuge. However, as the party departed, Noctis stayed behind to barter with the proprietor. When the negotiation reached an impasse, Noctis executed the proprietor with a point-blank shot to the head, collected a vial of his blood, and quietly rejoined the group.

==== Viroc HQ and Corporate Power Vacuums ====
The party traveled to Viroc Headquarters to meet with Commander Ellard Crosse. Crosse expressed a grim relief that the dragon threat had been temporarily mitigated but acknowledged the massive power vacuum left by the Drekanovs' departure. The conversation highlighted the instability of the company's leadership and the desperation of those left to pick up the pieces.

==== A New Contract: The St. Petersgrad Delivery ====
Dr. Minerva Sedgewick joined the meeting and offered the party a new contract: the delivery of a critical package to **Harold Drekanov**, the Regent of Continental Affairs, who is currently returning from a diplomatic mission to Atlantis. The group negotiated for significant individual rewards upon successful completion, including a shop for Thorun, an observatory for Bogdan, and a promotion for Carl. 

==== Status at End of Session ====
The session concluded with the party preparing to board an 8:30 PM train to St. Petersgrad. Their objective is to meet Harold Drekanov upon his arrival on the **VSS Dominion** in three days and deliver the package directly to him at the Viroc refining facility.
