[ thranduil's voice is tight, if still somehow pleasant: ]

I understand that there are a great number of questions and concerns at the moment regarding the Inquisition's proposed policy of phylacteries for Rifters.

If there are concerns that anyone would wish to make known through official channels, the Research Division has been appointed to handle the research of this new, proposed policy. [ very pointed stressing. ] My office is where it has always been, and any concerns should be turned into the box reserved for correspondence of that nature.

I would remind all Rifters that we are yet considered a single unit. [ remember the curfew? ] That poor behavior will affect all of us- indeed, anyone currently afflicted with a Shard. I would advise them that this is never as true as it is now, and that consequences for actions taken in the heat of the moment are the same as those made when rational.

Standard equipment for those who work with the Inquisition. In order to do so, we must be trusted on some level. If we were to change loyalty and aid another group, do you think they would let us keep the crystal?

....all right that's just idiotic. The Other Side is the giant magister arsehole!

[Which is to say, their paranoia is overrated.]

There are always more than two sides in any conflict. You can always choose to stand alone.

Well, I agree with that. There's enough of us 'Third Party' to prove your theory. [She snorts.] Great, just another reason for both sides to resent the third. But is it waffling when you don't like what either side is preaching?
