Epiphany 9: Ekphoria
Notes
It's two hours after sunset.
Four masked mystery investigators from the Trenchcoat Brigade have infiltrated the Foxfire Project Room while the camouflaged fifth lurks at his chosen watchpoint.
Where did those metahuman people in the crimson jumpsuits leave their covered dishes?
How can this place exist at this spot in Brooklyn, New York?
Will the investigators have to communicate by speaking directly into each other's ears, or by charades? It certainly is somewhat loud in here. The transparent surface in the center blocks out much of the maelstrom beneath, but what could muffle enough of it?

Facts Found
Not a comprehensive list! Check your own clue files, because you certainly know more! Motes of light dance through a space, ignoring all attempts of matter to interact with them.
Sometimes sound fragments accompany them: music, or transmitted voices.
The sounds cease to be heard sometime shortly before the stardust trail starts to include "below ground" portions of its cycle.
The locals in this part of Brooklyn's Columbia Street Waterfront District have grown inured to the motes. They may not like it, but they no longer let it startle them into a reaction.
The stardust trail grows thicker, appearing more frequently and in more intense clusters, and moves faster as it enters the city block framed by Sackett Street, Columbia Street, Degraw Street, and Van Brunt Street.
The stardust trail's destination is not in the private bus parking lane that bisects the block.
A green cinderblock "gardener's shed", nestled under the thick cover of the trees, may be the destination.
Gadgets emplaced throughout the Waterfront District interact somehow with the stardust trail.
The "gardener's shed" is so very much more than its outside suggests.
The Man In Red, in possession of many private documents to which he ought never have gained access, destroys them in his efforts to create a collage project of his own.
Someone occasionally visits the interior space of the Foxfire Shed to do regular janitorial work.
One of those visitors is a metahuman.
If unidentified parties access the Foxfire Shed, Makeshift will receive an electronic notification. Meanwhile, the wider perimeter of the affected area includes some difficult-to-access hidden spaces!
Communal Intel Pool crafted! Filled with prior findings!
Epiphany Emission Point explored by group effort.
Five newcomers arrived in the Foxfire Project Room! They bring trays and platters with opaque covers!
Epiphany Filter Field discovered and documented.
Team removed this Emission Point Gadget from its locked position. They plan on investigating more fully at a controlled location.
Darkness flows into the block like ocean fog arriving from the wrong direction.
The five red-jumpsuited metahumans have been sent on this mission by their supervisor to "get acquainted with the Neighbors".
"Neighbors" appears to mean the Masked Mystery Mavens running around Brooklyn on this winter evening; and the people in the jumpsuit do think at least three individuals comprise the Neighbor team.
The elderly lady refers to herself as "Nobody". While observing from concealment, the Trenchcoat Brigade also heard these five use names for each other such as "Elegast" and "Luule".
A gigantic octopus appears to have invaded the area of Degraw St just east of the Columbia St intersection. With the Watchmen unavailable, tonight the Knights Vigilant respond to the city's rescue needs!
The Visiting Team's technology sure does use a lot of nanocrystals.
Each member of the Visiting Team has some sort of cybernetic device implanted near the top of the spine, just below the collarbone, on their backs.
At least one member of the Visiting Team, Luule Erato, carried only Canadian bills. She also put great value and concern on her possession of metal coins in her change.
The Visiting Team are here to lay the groundwork for a Good Neighbor relationship with the important locals.
By "locals", the Visiting Team seem to automatically mean active metahumans in the local population of what they keep calling "Quantum York".
The culture of the Visiting Team has an urgent need for certain pharmaceutical components, and for "unpolluted" iron.
The Visiting Team provided the Trenchcoat Brigade with a plastic key that will grant access to a drop point for exchanging messages, so that future meetings can be scheduled.
The Visiting Team plan some After-Hours Acquisitions at the local Home Depot, thanks to pointers given by the Trenchcoat Brigade.
