Best Laid Plans

O.C from Team Distraction starts this episode off taking a look around to see if she can find anyone else being held against their will. All she finds is storage of various crates so she heads back to the party of Red Sashes and courtesans. Everyone seems to be wowed by Violette's extravagant display of mysticism. They talk with the leader guy and try to sway him to tell them more about his nefarious activities. They have slipped some mild drugs into the drinks to make them more pliable. This dude divulges how they recently acquired a professor from Charter Hall four weeks ago and they recently delivered him to the paying party. He also tells them about a different professor who paid them to kidnap himself. 
Nyx and Bowerbomb (in his Raymond disguise now) make their way into the building proper and take a look around. There's further talk about framing the Lamp Blacks with explosions. They hear talk from upstairs about the "weird occupant" being guarded. Nyx tries to ingratiate himself with this group of guards playing a game of strategy. Bowerbomb takes a look through the kitchen and gets a couple bowls of some tasty looking food to bring to the guards upstairs.
