Paladin does not want that name, connotations to where Adolph Hitler died, and suggests that The Prometheus Foundation allows a corporate sponsor name the base or run a contest where the winner gets to name the base. Kismet interviews with Lacey Bradley, owner of Racks, for the job as a waitress/model. She is offered a place to live at Enchanted Dreams Inn but she declines because she has to live in the dorm at Empire State University for her first year as a student. Kismet leaves everything that she does not have at the dorm in her room at the Brigade’s warehouse. Kismet, under her real name of Kaitlynn Jones, is to come back and spend a couple hours in the stocks in A-Room so she can watch how business is taken care at Racks. She is also given a menu and drink list to memorize for the restaurant. Marvel Girl and Paladin contact Air Burst (MG met him at the fight in with the Daleks at Bushwick Inlet Park) to see if he wants to join Brooklyn Brigade. He says he does not want to join but he will help whenever innocents are in danger. As Air Burst is leaving he passes four rough looking creeps coming in.   When the creeps see Paladin they says, ‘there he is! Kill the m****er f*****er!’. Marvel Girl does not get involved letting Air Burst and Paladin fight the creeps who turn out to be vampires (making heavy use of Sun Block as it is 10AM). Two vampires are knocked out and two escape. Officers O’Malley and McDermot take the Vamps into custody and call PART. That evening they resume staking out Manfred Saietta and his family. They decide to focus on Julianna. They discover that most of the Saietta family live in one palatial mansion on the edge of town. They learn that Julianna works out a lot and is probably an enforcer. They also learn that the Saietta family is very deep into incest.     Thursday August 16, 2018 The day is uneventful. Marvel Girl contacts Pearl Ivy to see if there is any PR events she can attend. Pearl looks around and finds that a group of (rich) civil war enthusiasts and collectors are meeting in Manhattan Friday night. Pearl gets MG an invitation. MG buys an expensive dress (on the Prometheus Foundation’s expense account) to attend. Kismet reports to work that night. The night is profitable and she sees how the restaurant operates. As Kismet comes to work she sees Deirdre Buckley and a dozen members of the CWA (Concerned Women of America) protesting Rack’s treatment of women. The food and alcohol at Rack’s is easily 5-Star across the board. One of her perks of working there is free meal per 8 hour shift. Kismet gently gets to know some of the staff and makes inroads in learning more about the rest.   Friday August 17, 2018 A light rain has been falling all day.   A group of the collectors go to dine at Rack’s. Marvel Girl goes with them, she likes their food. While they are at Racks Albert Christen Benjamin takes a part of the Hopewell device and shows to Marvel Girl. He tells her a bit of the device’s history and how he would like to see the full device rebuilt. Just at that member Neutron, Arc, Wyvern, and Ankylosaur enter the restaurant. Neutron says, “So would I, which is why you are going to give it to me.” A fight for possession of the part ensues. Kismet calls Air Burst and Paladin from their post staking out the Saietta Mansion. - to be continued -
