I have a lead on what happened to those former Shard-bearers.

I think I have a lead. There's a group — a council, maybe, I don't know — working in the shadows of Springstar. I don't know what they're doing, but I know they're manipulating things, and I know they're somehow connected to those Bearers. And I know they're so powerful that even people in Kowloon don't dare to speak of them aloud.
[ a beat, then, ]
I can get information about them, start to find out what they're doing, but there's a cost. My informant wants something in return.
