Max reaches out to Alrys (either through an old earpiece, or by word of mouth that he's returned) with news that he has data from the hospital and that he has a potentially useful person with him; Dazai can either be a hostage named 'Gorgug' and had been the one who gave Thamien his earpiece, or just himself and perhaps a defector from Etraya instead of a hostage. Either way, the hopeful outcome is that Alrys comes to Max at a specific meet-up point to help him more safely transport the person and the precious cargo.

Not far from this meet-up spot, Etrayans who can provide strong back-up can sit in wait for an ambush; Max can attempt to shoot and kill Alrys if necessary, though he will recommend someone take the shot if he fumbles it. He doesn't particularly care if he's the one to kill her, as long as she's dead as a doornail. Another potential idea is the ambush happens, and Max pretends to be a surprised Solmaran until he can line up a shot on her and catch her off-guard.

If there are minions, it would be a great time for said back-up to launch an assault to either apprehend or kill anyone they see fit.

Meanwhile, as this distraction goes on and likely draws more people away from the city, we have a crew who is sneaking into the hospital -- gotta watch out for the dangerous bots and anyone lingering behind to guard it. Gorgug is making special items to help potentially mask the infiltration team, and they can finally investigate what's happened to the city AI, Bourealis.

Other notes:

- Heavy hitters would be great for the Alrys attack, but maybe should have one on the infiltration team in case things go really sideways?
- Dazai would be extremely useful in disarmig Alrys or their lead psychic by nullifying their powers?
- Ambushing Etrayans can act on the concept of them having 'trailed' Max and Dazai from Etraya itself?
- Two teams we can officially divide into, making it easier to potentially thread/hash out what happens next?
