Welp. That was a wild and crazy time. So the Eternal Jade was... actually a person, Buffy tried to kill Spike, Sven snared himself a pet displacer beast, Mark and Myri got in a car accident, and Des stole their lead away. Go team failboat go.
The Saturday after the events at Nightscape was spent healing up those who needed it and piecing together everyone's memory of the incident: Spike and Buffy luckily remembered everything that had occurred, for now, at least. The singer, Jade, had given them a little bit of information that they could begin looking into for now: that she was being pursued by a church called the Brotherhood of the Enlightenment. On Sunday, Gar called Des to find out whether she was still safe, and learned that she currently being held for questioning by the Hoffman Institute.
Which merited a big unison 'crap' from the team - who had been trying to keep her out of their hands in the first place. Gar, however, didn't see this as a total bust. After all, she was ideally placed to learn anything that they might get out of the girl. Because of this, she returned to her undercover position on Monday and spent the next week spying on the proceedings. Her reports have not been particularly helpful, however. The girl - Eterna Jade - claimed to have no memory of anything remotely tied to the Talisman, and didn't seem to understand what the church wanted with her, or why her name was connected to the talisman's mythology. She couldn't answer most of the questions put to her, actually, claiming to be from the Shadow World recently, and remembering nothing but coming here and living at the club, ever since, which she says was given to her. Though she insists that she is the owner, she appears to have very little information about its daily operations, leaving that to a team of executives she calls the "Dreammakers". When asked, she cannot even name any of the men on this team. She's acted generally sullen and uncooperative, but Dr. Hoffman seems to have concluded, to his own frustration, that she isn't lying either.
She wanted to return to the club shortly after being detained, but the Doctor insisted they make certain it was safe first, and has, indeed, been monitoring the building and Brotherhood movements, to try and make certain that they aren't still after her, or hunting her down. There's been no evidence to suggest that they're looking for her currently.
In the meantime, the Knights have been working on researching more about the club, Jade, and the Brotherhood. And Buffy went on a personal crusade to hunt down information about the man they let take Jade to the Institute in the first place: Desmond Descant, who claimed to know Wynn. (Threads below!)
It's on Monday, March 19th, that Gar comes home excitedly from her job to draw something wrapped in cloth out of her bag and asks everyone to gather around. (Thread below!)

[She points to the marking on the one side and looks to Spike] This is the symbol of the Lazarus Talisman. It's meant to be recognized by those looking for it, perhaps to help the ones who are meant to possess it locate it.
We simply need to find someone able to ... to activate it. [Make it sound so easy, Gar...]

The difficulty, of course, is that she's currently under twenty four hour surveillance at the Institute. We'll have to wait until she's out from under their watch.

Her guards at Nightscape were like jailers, anyway. They know where to find her. If she doesn't give them anything soon ... [ She sits back, sighing a little. ] I just don't know why they'd hold onto her. Okay, granted, maybe they're bigger on patience than we are ... [ She looks to Kat, who is the most likely to be on board with her next suggestion. ] We could always slip into the Hoffman Institute to get her direct.

Spike and Buffy's plan is probably our best bet, as much as I hate to admit it.
[HEY WAIT YOU REMEMBER THAT WHOLE MAGIC THING] Isn't there some sort of truth spell or potion or something they could use to get her to talk? Or that we could use? [ethics what] Like...what's it called, Veritaserum.

For one, I'd be placed under rather intense scrutiny if something were to happen to Jade while she's there. Only a select few of us even are aware she's being held. It could mean potentially losing our in, if we ended up needing more information from the Institute.
However, it might be the more direct route.
Indirectly, you're right about Mr. Descant potentially being another way to reach her. I have a feeling they won't hold her much longer. Dr. Hoffman is getting increasingly frustrated, and the girl seems to want to return to her club.
If we could find a way to ensure that Desmond is the one who transports her back, free from any Hoffman guards... we'd be able to speak with her on the way, as well.
