         PART 2     “Search and Rescue”

         Location: Tohoku Prefecture; Aomori
            The next morning, the PC(s) have travelled to the
         site of the Shiroi Kiseki Gang camp.   It still shows
         signs of conflict and death, and gives the PC(s) an
         exact account for how much their information made
         way for progress.  As the group walks into the camp,
         buzzards fly away.   The air smells of blood, and
         blood stains the grass and dirt of the area.  Several of
         the camp’s structures are mostly destroyed, and bro-
         ken pieces of weaponry lie on the field.

         GM NOTE: The PC(s) should look for the headband
         in the mess  of the remains of the Shiroi Kiseki Gang.
            While searching through the debris of the battle-
         field a shout is heard from the distance.
