Then she ran, stampeding off.  Not quite as graceful as the real Crawler, but that was one more area where we just had to cross our fingers and hope she could sell the ruse.

Yes, but who are you intending to fool? Purity and her folks? Were they actually part of this plan somehow?

There was the dull rumble of a distant impact as Purity opened fire on Genesis.  Genesis dodged into a nearby alleyway, leading Purity and the rest of her group off to one side.

But what is the benefit of attracting fire like this? Tricking them into attacking the location of the actual Nine?

And if Purity wasn’t part of the plan… why is Genesis in this form?

Shatterbird fired on Purity and her allies, guiding a torrent of glass shards toward the incoming enemies.  Not enough to kill, or even to maim.  It was enough to hurt and to piss them off.

Hell, even if the point is to get them to attack the actual Nine, why would they need to do this? Han Purity shot first anyway, so if they were to find the actual Nine themselves, they’d probably do the same thing.
