<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Summary 3</strong></span><br/><br/>These things happened earlier this year (2017).<br/><br/>William got a surprise birthday present this year. From Admiral Raskey, commanding officer of JTF Van Helsing. A very nice competition rifle. (not nice enough to be worth points though) The accompanying card was written in what is presumably Raskey’s own hand, and just says “Happy birthday to a survivor type. —Adm. D. Raskey”<br/><br/>William uses the Power Word that aligns him with the probability that whoever he's communicating with will like what he has to say. He finds that he’s written a thank-you note to Adm. Raskey that implies that he’d like to open an ongoing conversation.<br/><br/>Over the course of the last couple of months before play starts, he’s exchanged a couple of letters with the Admiral. It’s pretty clear Adm. Raskey would love for William to come work for him after high school, maybe even some kind of summer internship this year. Also it sounds like Adm. Raskey is thinking about moving his daughter Martha from wherever she currently is to the Socinian Institute, and is interested in William’s review, as it were, of the school.<br/><br/>William replies that he would love to meet the Admiral and show him around the school himself. Adm. Raskey writes back to say that he’ll see William in May.<br/><br/>William does some research on Martha Grace "MG" Raskey. Penn won't help because she figures it's likely that the Admiral is abusing the cyber-security resources of JTF Van Helsing (with its nigh-unlimited black budget) to protect himself and his close family, but some bribery and footwork by William's minions turns up an interesting tidbit: MG Raskey is a diva in the Hive House music scene under the name Kıllır◊Qvıın. Her piece "A 72 Hour Moment" is considered one of the defining works of the genre. Needless to say the identity of Kıllır◊Qvıın is not general knowledge! They’ve never performed publicly—their music is released on the dark web and distributed by others.<br/><br/>William investigates further and is pretty sure MG is just being an edgelord (edgelady?). He strongly recommends to the Admiral that she transfer to the Institute, and in particular talks up the benefits of Advanced Spirituality, without mentioning any particular students.
