For tickets, and to help ensure the convention's success, please visit the Acadecon 2017 Kickstarter. ***END TRANSMISSION*** The opportunity arises for Pierce to undermine the magickal working that Koji uses to restrain and erode Darren Feldman's power as the two of them prepare for their delicate -- and mystically complex -- infiltration of the Chester Mental Health Center. While they hope to glean some of Doctor Howarth's secrets and learn more of his organization, with Pierce ironically unaware that he's voluntarily forgotten much of what they might discover. Meanwhile, Mitch and Kiera make contact with Doctor Howarth, attempting to establish common ground and earn his trust, learning of a specialized task that, should they risk it, would go a long way to proving their worth.
