Gotham Knights Diaries Part Ten

Andrew continues his fight against crime

- By Andrew Duncan

This is my exploration of Gotham Knights where I will chronicle my playthrough like a text-based Let's Play. I'll point out all of the Easter Eggs that I can spot in the footnotes at the end of each part. Now let's continue Gotham Knights...

Having uncovered a strange liquid called dionesium in a Court of Owls mine, I had returned to Belfry after a brief run-in with Talia al Ghul...

Alfred Pennyworth reported that the city records held no mention of mining in Gotham City for a long time. Then, Dick Grayson handed him and Tim Drake earbuds to hear the repaired recordings from Batgirl's first encounter with the Court of Owls. Meanwhile, Barbara Gordon and Jason Todd were discussing how the dionesium was exactly what Talia had described; weak lazarus pit water that could create controllable zombies.

Suddenly, Alfred exclaimed that he recognised one of the voices: Constance Cobblepot. While she was likely related to Penguin, it was in name only due to Oswald's proclivities having resulted in him being ousted by the family, according to information I'd come across at the Iceberg Lounge. While the Batcomputer’s software couldn't match the recordings to file records, due to damage from the death pit, it would be a different matter matching the recordings to live voices. And Dick knew of an upcoming event at the Orchard Hotel, the Masquerade Ball, where the upper class would be toasting the life and legacy of Bruce Wayne.

Alfred warned that security would be tight, but with luck and the right vantage points, we'd be able to put faces to voices. Though, I was a little dubious since everyone would be wearing masks... In any case, Alfred knew the head of security, a Mr. Hendricks, and had set up a meeting that I would have to attend before the Masquerade Ball.
