Question: You are a scientist wannabe who's recently discovered that the magical exists, that a lot of it is downright hostile, and that containing it is part of your job description - what do you do?
Answer: Gather as much data as possible. Which was why Erin spent many hours on the following days checking occult bookstores, researching the Internet, and asking questions in the Dreamland.
Part of the problem, naturally, was that there was a lot of incorrect and contradictory data. One source claimed vampires existed and hated garlic, while another claimed vampires were in fact humans suffering from a virus related to rabies and had none of the traditional weaknesses. One source claimed...well, to put it simply, finding data was easy, but establishing hat data was reliable was often the hard part.
And then there was the information obtained about the Cult of Broken Dreams. An entire cult devoted to warping people into fomenting misery... Something like that could not be allowed to exist. That much she was certain of. And she was going to rip that cult to shreds as soon as the opportunity presented itself.
For now, she was looking into several paths of attack. First of all, she started asking out, both in Radiant online communities and in the Dreamland, if any among their numbers had contact within the FBI (who better to fight a pervasive cult, after all?). Secondly, after going over Gerald's recounting of the cult's recruitment methods, she started asking another question - if there was any Radiant she could get in touch with who possessed particularly good writing skills. And third...
Stepping into Chinatown, Erin walked toward the occult shop. There was work to be done.

So, raising a dot in Occult, working on some long-term strategies as mentioned above, and investigating Ancient Chinese Secret. Do I need to roll anything?
