Basically, the Assassins are fighting the Agents and the Game Developers, with Akira Kariya (the culprit) trying to defeat Eise with dirty tricks, while at the same time trying to play mind games with Silas. You, meanwhile, have attacked Omega and Clarissa (GreenGoat's NPC and Matter Mage), and Omega managed to strike you with a Shadowbolt and a Shadowbind.
Then, Arcana Unlimited used a device to activate a Time Stop that affected all other Nonmagi except Joshua, who was coming in to help you. Because of the Time Stop, you guys cannot get help from the outside world, nor can surveillance devices see what you are doing...or what ArcU was doing either. This meant that the Corporate Goons were able to send out a large mechanical spider to take us all down.
Then, Ken Saddler (NPC, Game Developer), caught the Spider in a Time Stop of its own, and Ascot decided to help him, revealing himself in the process. This was the signal for Omega to turn towards our side, with him pretending to stab you with one of his blades, but in truth releasing the shadowbind placed on you, before unleashing a pack of shadow beasts at Clarissa. Now, you and he are poised to take her down with superior force and numbers.
