* The message reaches the group as Carl Day is on his way to Argentina for treatment
* James Scunthorpe arranges plane tickets for everyone to Argentina
* Dina Vellum is parked on surveilance on a low-pay job
* She gets a call from Carl Day's mobile. It's Carl Day wanting her help with something. He claims to be in Chicago. He needs an extra pair of eyes for a stake-out. They arrange to meet at the Insommnia Coffee House around 20:00 for dinner
* There is a very confusing game of phone tag
* Lucas Bailey shows up at Dina Vellum's place
* They call James Scunthorpe who tell them about his call with Dr Sonia Sanchez

* Lucas Bailey fires off an air-tag into the back of the panel van
* They pull away from the pursuit and regroup
* The number 98104 comes up
* At a long distance, they follow the airtag into the nicer outer suburbs of Chicago on Lakeshore Drive North (The Gold Coast or thereabouts)
* The Diana Chase case is about the potential sale of a haunted building on Brown Avenue a few houses away from Diana's abode.
* The investigators drive up and park in the vicinity
* Lucas Bailey creeps around the back of the house being watched
* In there is a couple watching TV. They're watching a self-help video. All about the self-help community CPS (Church of Perfect Science). Dedicated to making people the best of themselves
* James Scunthorpe goes to ring on the front door of Diana's abode, and Diana answers somewhat sourly. She also seems confused around the number 98104
* The house was rented out by the real estate company and redecorated quite a bit. The renters are almost too perfect. Michael and .... .....

### Fit The Third

* The group frantically starts grabbing things and head for the windows, but they're facing the front where the cultists are coming in from.
* As the cultists duck and cover, the investigators run for their vehicles - James first, then Dina and Lucas.
* Unfortunately James typos the command for summoning the Tesla and it arrives at full speed and James ends up sliding underneath it to get out of the way
* Lucas returns to his lair, boiling a tin of soup
* James makes his way back to his high-floor apartment
* Dina gets back to her flat, and ends up zonking out on her floor. Lots of calls and texts from Jake saying he can explain everything and desperate to get in touch
* James get a call from his mother letting him know that he's starting to move in circles that she can't protect him in
* In the middle of the night 3 someones enters Lucas' rooms. Lucas draws his bed shotgun and fires off a shot removing one as the other two grapple him.
* Lucas sees the person he shot come back up, as the walls melt and he's back in his grandfather's rooms
* Lucas wakes from the dream, but the "they can get back up" sticks in his mind
* Lucas finds the Church of Perfect Science manuals online. CPS worships Kutu, an extraterrestial being of great power
* James obtains floor plans of the CPS main location. Indications are that the cellar is the inner sanctum
* Dina confirms the details surrounding Carl's arrival from Argentina, etc.
* The haunting of the house appears linked to the demise of a long-lived witch that lived there towards the end of the 19th Century
* At the diner the group plans getting in to the CPS church, get Carl, possibly grab the statue, then leave
* Speaking with Carl's son, they're offered $500K for the statue. They're not willing to give up Carl however?
* It's possible that the CPS don't actually have Carl
* Using the documents he's downloaded, Lucas is given access to shipping container 7735 in the dock warehouse
* Lots of flat-pack furniture surrounding boxes of explosives. Lucas takes a "trunk load" of the explosives, and a coffee table
* James and Dina arrive at the Hilton down-town. They meet with Theresa Campigillo. She has very deep bags under her eyes and holds a small cardboard package that is previously openened
* Dina plays backup whilst James performs the meeting where they obtain the strange jade statue
* The group wraps the statue in some of the explosives, just to make a point
* Then they get into their disguises, and head over towards the CPS.
* Around now, James gets a call from "Tanya". She is with the CPS and tries to get James to take the deal. She confirms that they do not have Carl
* They arrange a statue / Carl swap, the plan being to have backup from Scunthorpe & Scunthorpe
* James takes a call from his mom, who reinforces the message from George Clooney in the dream that James needs to remember who he is
* They drive to the park, Dina walks to the meeting spot. James and Lucas wait by the car. It's a blood red sunset.
* Tanya arrives with two goons. She tells Dina that she has a deal with James, so Lucas goes for the detonator, James goes for Lucas, Dina starts asking questions.
* Dina goes into interrogation mood. Tanya describes how Carl went looking where he shouldn't and got caught in a time travel conundrum
* James misses Lucas.
* Tanya starts spouting about Kutu
* The idol allows for safe travel into Kutu's realm
* Dina goes to leave, Tanya motions her two goons to grab her, so Dina tosses the statue
* James rips the detonator from Lucas' hands as Lucas keep yelling for Dina to throw the statue
* Lucas uses Siri to voice activate the explosion
* Tanya catches the idol just as it explodes, taking out her two goons with her.
* Dina and Lucas drive off, with James heading back to his family house.

### Fit The Fourth

* Dina and Lucas arrive at the Church of Perfect Science
* They run into (almost literally) Colleen (Carl Day's Secretary), who is casing the joint
* Initially they go to climb the perimiter wall, Dina in the lead and Colleen bringing up the rear
* Dina gets caught in the fence spikes
* Once over Dina goes for the building whilst Lucas heads for the security control station.
* Colleen goes to blackjack one of the guards that are in the area, but fails to knock them out
* Lucas makes use of the earlier obtained number series to disable the entire security system and sets the feed to loop the 10 seconds before the group arrives
* Lucas swings their shotgun at the guard but misses
* The guard trips over a tree root and drops their alarm trigger / mobile phone
* Lucas grabs it before the guard gets there
* Colleen looms over the guard and intimidates him into submission
* Dina finds an open window, and sees that the back door is also unlocked
* The three step in through the back door
* They head for the basement, taking footage the whole time
* Lucas heads into the computer center and starts looking for Mr Day. Unfortunately they are so absorbed that they do not immediately notice the approaching guards
* Dina feels a great deal of dread over what is behind the big door in the cellar
* Colleen comes across a number of filing cabinets amongst all sorts of gadgets
* Mostly psychological profiles of the cult visitors
* Behind the door is a room filled with various gates, the central one of which is hazy and heat filled
* Colleen and Dina come across one of the prisoners who is concerned about them not being valid CPS members. He's loyal to K'utu
* They keep coming across more of them
* Lucas has meanwhile worked out which cell used to hold Mr Day
* Colleen realises that the cult of K'utu is operating on a garbled and mis-interpreted text. They have been trying to isolate and build a gate hub to allow them to transport them through to the realm of K'utu. There are great reports about that realm and how dangerous it is.
* Carl's escape seems to suggest that the gate is also capable of time travel
* Colleen identifies the cult's beliefs to be "of the squiddy kind"
* Whilst Lucas has released all the prisoners
* The doors to the cellar open
* Dina is gathering evidence
* Lucas is setting explosives on an hour delay
* Colleen is getting into an environmental suit and prepares her mind for what's to come
* Through the gate there is an air lock in the floor. As they step through they hear Teegan come through the double doors.
* Lucas and Dina feel really weird, Colleen takes things more in their stride
* Non-Euclidian geometries
* Lots of gates, some with heat hazes. On the shore of a massive greek style temple. There are some signs scribbled in front of the gate they have just stepped out of
* Discussions of where to go next.
* They ask "What Did Day Do?", and identify another gate with the marker
* They run for the best gate they can find
* They exit out into the early morning in Antarctica, where they see the shivering shape of Carl Day. He's clutching a small green idol.
* Discussions of what happened "last time". They decide to keep their own timelines consistent, which still allows them to save Day.
* Day suggests that whatever the green jade idol portrays is not happy about the misrepresentation that K'utu worship is
* They head out into the ice pack looking for a scientific base to recreate the past / present / future.
* And it's enshrined that all the other actions (bomb at hospital, code numbers, etc) are the party catching up to themselves.
* Colleen and Dina end up just slightly out of focus in time
