After Dr Science having spent his time in the barrel at the end of last episode (#23), I'm glad to be out of it. But I wasn't expecting Trickster to jump back in so soon!

I didn't even hear exactly what happened since I foolishly took a bladder break when it appeared that we were just coasting to a conclusion. These end-of-session cliff-hangers are killin' me!
Can someone fill me in as to exactly what the situation on the ground is now?
I guess for the future that JL interaction of any sort should be discussed as a group first so that we can kick around ideas on tactics and be ready to assist in case something blows up. Unfortunately, all of us know a lot of important stuff that we need to keep out of JL hands. Otherwise I'd just leave Trickster there for the Foundation to spring, and get on with my Important research.
Best to All, [edit, to be not quite as smarmy. . .]
