 After Katsumi is put in her room and the others are taken to their own, they decide to do some snooping. They find Grandfather Yuda’s study via a map Katsumi drew earlier and search for signs of the Sunbenders. They find a document that hints that Arusen may know more about the sunbenders, but as they haven’t been introduced yet they return to their rooms. Later they use the excuse of walking Vata to go to the garden behind Katsumi’s room. They come to her window and covertly discuss the egg and their objective. Arusen had entered the room during the conversation at least caught on that they wanted something from him, which worked out: he wanted their help as well. He’s going to have them help with a Fire Nation Intelligence mission and offers the Sunbender’s location in return.
+====== Episode 6 - Investieggation Gone Rotten ======
+Arusen meets them after dinner in a parlor of the Yuda mansion. He explains that wants the party to investigate the Guiding Wind’s organization, as they’re vocally against the construction of the Fire and Air Learning Center and there has been an anonymous threat to the safety of the center. He suspects they’re involved but his own intelligence officers can’t seem to infiltrate the organization. He’s confident in a member of the clan investigating though, and thinks their mixed nationality group would blend better. He offers the location of the Sunbenders in return, so the party accepts. He tells them there are three places they can start: the center itself, the camp of the Guiding Wind in Caldera City, and the Air Nomad Embassy.
+The next day the party goes to the commune the Guiding Wind has setup in the City. They’re welcomed in and the community is anything but violent. They’re given a tour by a woman who also works for the Learning Center gathering historical artifacts, then introduced to the commune’s leader. While the rest of the commune is very barebones and minimalist to fit with the Wind’s philosophies, Reenzen’s office is opulent and full of things given up by nobles who joined the Wind.
+He is welcoming but in a car salesman kind of way, so the party leaves and then sneaks back into the house with Tudi’s earthbending. They find some letters talking about the threat to the Guiding Wind in vague terms, all signed either B or R. They assume R is Reenzen, so they think he’s at least in on the plan. As they leave they also meet a group of Wind members going to protest at the learning center. They share their reasons for protesting, but don’t give any violent tendency vibes.
+The party then goes to the Learning Center. They meet their old “friend” Ukari whose been assigned to guard the center. There’s been a lot of vandalism throughout the construction, hence the military being posted. They see the group from the Wind protesting peacefully, as well as a second group of Fire Nation Academy for Girls students protesting. The quickly lose steam and mingle among themselves. Shaizu speaks to a former classmate and finds out Principal Bashira is sending classes to protest the center. The party connects B and Bashira, so they then feel Bashira is in on it.
+At this point, the party returns to Arusen and shares their conclusion. Bashira and Reenzen are working together to sabotage the center using the Guiding Wind, though they don’t know how yet. Arusen acts on this information, raiding the Guiding Wind’s camp. They capture Reenzen, but at the same time a bomb goes off in the learning center, doing heavy damage. Through the fallout the party learns that Reenzen was involved in the plot, but the Wind wasn’t. Reenzen planned to take all the riches donated to the wind and flee, using the Wind as a scapegoat. He wasn’t successful in fleeing, but the Wind did suffer from the raid.
+Meanwhile Bashira, as an ultra nationalist, had a team of fellow ultra nationalists working on the bomb. He was going to have the Wind take the fall for the bomb and destroy the center for corrupting fire nation ideals. He fled in the chaos of the raid on the Wind, so he’s still at large.
+Arusen is less than impressed with the party’s work. He’s too busy to deal with them in the immediate fallout so the party is left with a tough choice. Katsumi decides to break into Arusen’s study and try to steal the location so they can get the egg to safety. She’s caught, and pushes her balance towards Freedom as she defies her father and family to run from the Yuda Estate with the party, location clutched in hand.
