But Vern's bureaucracy sensibilities have more use there than Venus machine-spirit empathy. I'm not sure if it has been mentioned earlier. But I guess its safe to say that Sia's throne-fund-account has taken a little dip the last month or so to boost her confident. Maxi mention it anyway for Laurent. http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2010/05/16/rejoice-for-you-are-true-part-1-investigation#c960 Fri, 21 May 2010 08:46:16 +0000 tancred c958@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ Laurent Strophes regards Orday as very competent and reliable, but he IS a low-born mercenary, so it's not like he TRUSTS him or anything. As for the actual information provided he has now way of knowing - only that a great change came over Sia after she joined the Choir, and especially after she went to the Alabaster Court. She became much more confident and seemed to enjoy life more. http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2010/05/16/rejoice-for-you-are-true-part-1-investigation#c958 Fri, 21 May 2010 08:43:47 +0000 tancred c957@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ A creature like Venus would probably note be welcome at Justice Central. Vern, however, should do well enough. he's a scholar and well versed in librarium sub-systems, physical archives and datacrypt operation. As a former Arbites in Inquisition service you are able to effect his admittance. He'll go there first thing in the morning (of the fifth day) and stay until he has what he's after. That will leave Maxi free for other duties. Meanwhile Haxtes returns to the Alabaster Court. Venus has asked him to have a look at any meters he might come across, to verify if there really are two types. Her suspicion is that the 'real' harmony meters - those with the xenos bits - may have some ulterior function as yet to be fully divined, although she suspects they might actually be psych-meters, i.e. devices normally used by the Scholastia Psykana and the Inquisition to test for psychic potential. Orday also finally makes the call. He will meet with either Strophes tomorrow at noon, beneath the shield of the fallen guardsman down in the waterfront market. It's a very public place - there will be tens of thousands there during the day, coming and going and being about their affairs. Then Haxtes leaves for the party in his newest outfit. http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2010/05/16/rejoice-for-you-are-true-part-1-investigation#c957 Fri, 21 May 2010 07:50:38 +0000 kuhnrat c956@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ Maxi will eagerly visit "his own" at the Justice hall. But only as a door opener for Vern or Venus. He recognize their superior ability to filter through the files in the Library archives of the Courthouse. Maxi wants to be readily available for Vorlins slate drop. Maxi asks also Lord Strophes about the reliability of informant Vorlin Orday. Oh, before he forgets. Maxi updates his note and add "Posession of Xenofacts" to all suspects. (Maxi's notes are of personal use so it is not posted anywhere. We don't want the big clumpy feet of our brother order to come visit us unannounced. Don't we?) http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2010/05/16/rejoice-for-you-are-true-part-1-investigation#c956 Thu, 20 May 2010 20:04:45 +0000 agenthaxtes c954@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ Haxtes will keep infiltrating / fitting inn, make friends and connections with out moving too fast after all hes not there to SPY on them :) http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2010/05/16/rejoice-for-you-are-true-part-1-investigation#c954 Thu, 20 May 2010 18:27:01 +0000 tancred c953@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ The day ends and two more days go by; you've spent four days in the House of Strophes thus far. Haxtes continues to worm his way into the Joyous Choir and finally manages to get invited to one of the late-evening social gatherings that the peers and that wannabees attend. It'll be a grand event. Vern looks into farcosia, but soon runs into a problem - the substance is so obscure that not even the Inquisition has it on file. Finally he finds a reference to it in the Justice Archives; meaning that the Arbites have something on it. Only the Justice can't be accessed from the outside. It has to be someone with inside access. Meanwhile Venus has gotten around to looking at the meters. There is some sort of discrepancy between the one Haxtes got of Julianna and the one Orday gave to you. Venus isn't sure exactly what it is, but the one Haxtes brought it contains some sort of subtle xenos 'circuitry' (not sure what that means, but it has to do with the machine spirit). http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2010/05/16/rejoice-for-you-are-true-part-1-investigation#c953 Thu, 20 May 2010 10:27:13 +0000 agenthaxtes c952@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ all except old maxi, he is not guilty but my info says hes guilty of tech heresy- strange http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2010/05/16/rejoice-for-you-are-true-part-1-investigation#c952 Thu, 20 May 2010 10:18:56 +0000 kuhnrat c951@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ No, not all of them, Elam Voight is confessing for lesser crimes. And suspects are not the same as guilty. EVEN Maxi knows that. Other than that, yeah you got it right. :) http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2010/05/16/rejoice-for-you-are-true-part-1-investigation#c951
