Light pours out the warehouse door, back-lighting the two thugs as they carry the chest into the snowy alley.
MUGSY: That's what the boss says. Good thing we have this blizzard to cover our tracks.

THREAD LIST: None yet
EXPECTED SCENE: Rolled "Carry Intrigues" on the Mythic Event Meaning chart. I interpret this as somebody is stealing something from Blue Horizons.

CQ: Conversation response? "Release outside"
PANEL 3
Q: Is Ebon Knight waiting for them in the alley [50/50]? Extreme no.
RANDOM EVENT: NPC Action (Sylvia Franco). "Kill Ambush". She's not the star of this issue, so her involvement is ambiguous. But she's definitely going to slaughter these poor thugs.
Q: Is she working for a rival gang leader [Unlikely]? Extreme yes (though she may have other motives).
