RECIPIENT: Everyone
NOTES: By is actually trying to be helpful and is not just here for the drama. No comment on my own priorities.

It seems prudent, given the current situation, for us to publicly identify those who have been acting out of character. I can understand a desire for secrecy, to take any imposters by surprise, but the risk of one of our own being caught unawares seems much greater.

Who has been strange of late? And when did this change in behavior start?

[dissolving]

I'll start looking, then.

[ probably already blew it, asking those questions. shit. ]

If the Commander's clear, it told me he trusted it - seemed proud. Might get him to play along, offer to shut down suspicions.

[elegiaque]

Mmm. That was what he was fishing about in Halamshiral, he suggested I might be on some secret instructions from Flint—

[dissolving]

Clarisse suspects one. Don't have the name, but I think it was after her body - If this one's focusing on Flint, it's decent odds he was its next target.

[elegiaque]

Fuck. I suppose that tracks, doesn't it? I only— I haven't interacted with demons, I've just smacked them away from rifts or looked at, fucking— Norrington's diagrams.

[dissolving]

[ distracted: ]

Don't use those.

[dissolving]

Envy's rare. Rare-rare. Think we're all working on an information deficit. D'you know if anyone's centralized a list? Clear names, suspects.

[elegiaque]

Not that I've been told— I'm sure of Dr Strange ( great save ) and Abby and Clarisse.

[dissolving]

He's the healer, right? Got a list of everyone already. Ask him to start tracking?

[elegiaque]

Oh, good thought— I'll put him to work.

[dissolving]

Thanks. You can let him know I'm unverified - reckon it's the same for anyone showed up around the same time. That's Gannicus, Truthless, Miss Arany, and the new rifter.

[ the sick one ]

[elegiaque]

That's the defective yapping at Rutyer?

( she's a charming girl. )

[dissolving]

Tav,

[ so: yes. ]

[elegiaque]

Noted.

Thank you. I'm going to speak with Captain Rowntree as well.

[dissolving]

[ it pains him, deeply, to say: ]

I think that's a good idea.

[elegiaque]

He'll be coordinating with the Commander, too.
