Acting on a tip from the mysterious Memento, the party infiltrates the corporate headquarters of Diamond Labs, a research company under the umbrella of ATLAS.
Within, they encounter surprising resistance, including soldiers equipped with weapons that can penetrate their supernatural defenses.
They also discover something they did not expect; live (mostly) test subjects, drawn from the supernatural world. Seeing no way to free them, and lacking the option of time, they fled, but not before retrieving the vital data they had come to find.
They make their daring escape, taking to the air on rocket-powered gliding contraptions, narrowly making the trip from the Waves back to the city proper, and taking refuge in Memento's rather nicely-appointed secret base.
Therein, they examine the data: detailed dossiers on each of their supernatural personas. Though ATLAS does not know their true identities, it is quite aware of their powers and their seeming motivations.
Knowing that none of them alone can possibly hope to oppose ATLAS, they band together for mutual protection, with the goal of discovering ATLAS' true intentions, and sparing their supernatural brethren from the corporation's sick experiments.
