A file folder labeled "The Cast"

A fake suspect file page. Top left, a picture of a young man holding a camera in front of his face, labeled MILES GRAYSON. Top right, a quote, "I won't stand around and do nothing while someone could get hurt." At the bottom, on ripped notebook paper: ADDITIONAL INTEL. Age: 15. Residence: East Port, Flat Harbor. Electromagical Status: Potential at-risk mage; assessment required. Misc. Information: Subject is habitually truant, has poor impulse control, and is incredibly nosy. Fact-check anything he tells you.

Top right, an image of a shadowy figure in a graffitied tunnel, labeled ECHO. Top left, a quote, "Go home, Boy Detective. And tell your boss if I find you out here again, it'll be a problem." At the bottom is a note book paper labeled ADDITIONAL INTEL. It reads, Age: unknown. Residence: Unknown. Electromagical status: Unknown. Misc. Information: Subject was last seen wearing a white mask and dark goggles, fleeing a known murder in The Run. Approach with caution.

A fake detective evidence file. A paper is labeled "OTHER PERSONS OF INTEREST" and reads: Jackie "Mac" McGrath (highlighted in purple): Private investigator, registered mage. Tough exterior, crunchy middle, but somewhere in there she has a big old bleeding heart. Leo Grayson (highlighted in blue): Miles's legal guardian and oldest brother. Primary holder of the lone Grayson brain cell. God help you if you mess with his brothers. JT Grayson (highlighted in green): Miles's other brother. A once promising mage now permanently cut off from his powers as a legal consequence. All fight, no flight. Alexander Wyatt (highlighted in yellow): Academic and radical mage rights activist. Retired Electromagical Combat athlete. Never met a line he wouldn't cross.

VIPs:

A file folder labeled, "The Story."

A fake detective evidence board labeled, "Pitch."

Easy. Right?"
