It's not mentioned in the chapter. As such, it's something of a non-sequitur to voters.

As I told you on IRC, there's an important distinction here. The thing "the surprise" refers to may be hinted at... but "the surprise" itself isn't, even by another name or indirectly. The mention thus lacks context to a naive reader.Not... true. The surprise is hinted at in the above chapter.
Hinted.
Fixed, next bit to editors.I just realized, but you forgot to threadmark ediolon getting his ass reamed.
So, the Slaughterhouse 9 triggered an Infernal, since this is several years earlier than Taylor's canon trigger, I believe that means Riley just got a reprieve, and instead of Bonesaw, we're getting someone much more terrifying, as a Demon Princess. I sort of hope her Unwoven Coajuator background is significantly high, cause Riley with a demon guide and advisor bound to her soul is fitting. Defiler is a good fit, since SHLIHN didn't get Colin, but I could see any Infernal Caste fit Riley just fine a this stage.
Exalted grok Politics
"More importantly, one of the members of the Slaughterhouse Nine triggered the exaltation of an Infernal. I can show you the chatter. If they're even remotely as quick on the uptake as the local circle, you're likely to get reports of a new endbringer as he or she figures out and masters their first battle-shintai." Dragon paused. "And the Infernals invariably are born from angry individuals who failed to make a difference. If you think the Nine aren't about to have nightmare fuel level problems, you are sorely mistaken. An Infernal can kill anything that exists… including the Siberian."
The Abyssal snickered. "Be accurate, Dragon. Any Celestial Exalt, hell, any Exalt can kill anything. How we go about it differs… and I was coming to tell Danny it appeared that a Solar also lit off. Clear Anima display or so PHO video shows." Dragon sighed and nodded.
"... Another one?" Piggot scowled. "How many are there?"
Dragon shrugged. "I don't know," She lied bluntly. A bolt of light had landed next to Eidolon and was remaining quiet.
"I do!" Shadowy Wings' expression was pure evil. "There were three hundred Solar Exaltations made. About a hundred of them were corrupted into the Abyssals, and another fifty were altered in ways that would make you cry by the creators of the universe they rebelled against to make Infernals… three hundred lunars, a hundred Sidereals, as many Alchemicals as the Maker chooses to light up, and Dragon-blood exaltation spreads by breeding!" Her cheerful, evil smile absolutely lit the area with Piggot's despairing sigh.
"Fuck me running." She shook her head. "But… there is one thing that makes me happy." Everyone who was listening turned to her. She smiled. "You aren't parahumans, and with the possible exception of the… Infernals?" She received a nod from Dragon. "And maybe Abyssals, by your own documentation…" She smiled. "You're sane -- high energy, high tempo, driven to do things… but not broken." She looked at Shadowy Wings dead in the eye. "And you wouldn't believe how happy that makes me. Do you do murder requests?"
"Nope!" Shadowy Wings smiled. "I'm no one's assassin. Buuuut if you ask very nicely, I might consider teaching the occasional lesson on why it is unwise to shit in the collective Wheaties of the city."
Piggot smiled cruelly. "I'll get the kill order and bounty on Nilbog set up if it's not already there."
"Director, if I may? I just sent you markers to identify an Infernal. While they can be just as human as you or I, and just as willing to help as we are, until they prove they haven't lost their humanity, treat them as a First Contact with alien life from any morality standpoint you understand." Dragon looked at Piggot seriously. "Figure out what makes them tick and come to an arrangement, and you suddenly have a very high amount of firepower working for you rather than against you."
Piggot raised an eyebrow, then nodded. "Understood, but I doubt we'll get permission to at least try…" She shrugged. "But worth a try."
"This is not a choice we get to make, Director," Shadowy Wings responded. "If we get an opportunity to get one on our side, we cannot afford to piss away that kind of firepower. I've SEEN the memories of the battle shintai of things dead before Rome was a wet dream in Romulus's mind. If we can come to an arrangement, it's the equivalent of turning an endbringer on an endbringer. And if not? They are exactly what the Exalted were created to bring down.".
Ah, that makes more sense I suppose, and I don't need three guesses. Hmm, the circle lacks a Night caste, we're you looking to fill that slot with a knife happy Scourge?
