Hey,

[ —literally days after that one particular network post, Tony's voice snaps dad-like across the network. ]

Everyone calm down, or I'm cancelling Satinalia. Which would be a travesty, 'cause guess what, it's come early.

I need some items field tested. I'm putting up a piece of paper outside of the dining hall and I swear to god if there's not at least one dick on it when I take it back by the end of the week I'm going to freak out.

Long story short, I need at least one of each of the following:

A person who wears plate armor, or some armor. A person who uses a shield. A person who is real good with heights—actually, maybe a couple people, in case one of you doesn't make it. Someone who's only pretty good with heights and likes to climb things. And some generally combat-ready folks who can test out a few other bits and pieces for me.

Last item is I call dibs on a top bunk in wizard prison.

Bye.

SUBJECT: Coasting Around
PARTICIPANTS: Derrica, Kostos + Mado, with assorted guest stars.
CLASSIFICATION: Public
DATE FILED: Late August
STATUS: Complete
SUMMARY: Decoding coded lighthouse love letters, creatively disappearing a fisherman after extracting his codebook, and disappearing a sketchy man who shall remain nameless.

REPORT:

Commander Flint,

We would like to report our findings.

Kostos has found that the lighthouse was sending messages, but none of the messages are of interest to us. All the messages were unrelated. I am sure Kostos would answer any questions you might have, but we can assure you that it's a dead end and there's no need to pursue it any further.

Mado along with Adrasteia offered help to assist & disappear from Kirkwall. In exchange, & provided Mado with credible information about a trading house in Caimen Brea that has been acting as a hub for goods trafficked out of Orlais. & made it clear that "goods" doesn't just mean items, it likely means people too. Something should be done about this, sooner rather than later.

I took Loxley and Ellie with me to see about the fisherman. We were able to subdue him, though we found his messages were all being sent with code. Loxley and Ellie persuaded him to give up the location of his code book, and we permanently relocated the fisherman to Rivain, so his post is able to be occupied by whoever we choose.

Any of us would elaborate if you need. I included the code book for you to do whatever is necessary with it.

— Derrica

NEXT STEPS: Follow up on the trading house in Caimen Brea + station someone in place of the fisherman to collect Venatori communication.
