here comes the new boss, definitely not the same as the old boss

[ipseite]

FORM: Crystal.
SENDER: Petrana de Cedoux.
RECIPIENT: Everyone.
WHAT: New boss introduces herself.
WHEN: Now
WHERE: Kirkwall
NOTES: division page!

Good evening - my name is Madame de Cedoux, ( she is not in the habit of giving out her first name, given the blithe tendency of so many to casually throw those around when they have them, ) and henceforth I shall be taking over as head of division for diplomacy from Mssr Trask. All affairs that were previously passing through him, I will now be overseeing; please speak with me if any matters are pressing. I am, as some of you may be aware, from beyond the rifts; I can only allow my work to speak for itself on my readiness for this position.

( She'd considered making this message for the division alone, but given the work - and the fact she's relatively sure at least one of her project leaders is seconded from another division - it's probably better to broadly introduce herself and narrow it down as necessary from there. )

At earliest convenience I would also like to speak with Mademoiselle Bonaventura and Mssr Elris. If I am not in my office, please contact me by crystal to arrange a meeting.

Of course - I would be delighted to hear more about your project. It is, obviously, of some interest to myself. I believe this project is one of Research division's?

( She remembers the former division head - she'll have to acquaint herself with whoever's taken over, in case of more of that personnel-sharing she mentioned with Beleth. )

Yes, it is, but I believe it will take an assortment of talents to truly yield results. The Diplomacy division can open doors which would otherwise be closed to us, particularly me. I'm an elf, and I'm aware that someone will always be offended by that fact.

[Not self-pitying, just acknowledging what exists.]

This is a particular issue in Orlais, where also exists a great university, probably the best collection of scholarship in the south. The shards may be a new phenomenon, but I suspect some are already studying them. Aside from that, they will have recorded knowledge about the Veil...and since the Circles have fallen and their knowledge scattered, it may be our best opportunity to learn more.

Mmm - I believe I may know just the person to speak with, ( thoughtfully. ) If you can provide me with specifics of what it is you would most like - a wish list, if you like - I can certainly see how much of it can be achieved.

( de Coucy returned to Orlais - if he doesn't have any existing connection to the university, she suspects he could get one in a hurry. )

[Well, that gets her to perk up.]

That would be most kind of you, madame. As soon as that list is complete, I'll have it sent to your office.

Marvelous. I will draft an inquiry, in the meantime, that I might more swiftly refine and send it when you're quite ready.
