And it'll reset by itself after sleep... great. Thanks. Now's a really bad time for us to be taking chances with anything.

Which reminds me. Canis just came into possession of something that might be pretty useful soon -- one of Ophiuchus's lanterns.

[overclocking.insanejournal.com]

...let me guess. A Cetus smuggled in an Ophiuchus in a bag and wanted information. Same lantern?

[clap_your_hands.insanejournal.com]

*....ah*

Did I miss something?

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

Good guess.

[overclocking.insanejournal.com]

We had some visitors while you were out, Edward. I can fill you in later.

[To Jace] Did they end up getting the answers they were looking for?

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

*nods*

They did, yes.

[overclocking.insanejournal.com]

[S-sigh]

Good. Hopefully that means they won't be probing around anymore.

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

Extreme has a lot to learn about subtlety. I'm just glad they didn't run into any Ophiuchus.

[overclocking.insanejournal.com]

I take it Tack's returned to whichever team is harboring him? All Extreme mentioned was that he's "on the run".

[clap_your_hands.insanejournal.com]

Just how many people on that team are "on the run" now?

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

Yes, and just the two that I know of.

[overclocking.insanejournal.com]

Two is already more than plenty.

[clap_your_hands.insanejournal.com]

Probably enough already to start making things a major problem for us. And for the rest of that team, too.

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

I'm not actually all that troubled by the idea of the loyalists on that team having problems. Eventually, we'll want them all.

[overclocking.insanejournal.com]

It's more concerning to me that they're actively renegade at a time like this. ...do you trust them?

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

I can vouch for one of them, having looked into his head. The other I've had less contact with, but he's well aware that his best chance lies with us at the moment.

[clap_your_hands.insanejournal.com]

What about the attention they're drawing? It's too much too soon... we still only have a handful of keystones for an entire pantheon of Judges, and with them moving like this it could make it harder to bring more of Ophiuchus onto our side.

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

Unfortunately, there's not much we can do about that, since they've already moved. There might be some ways to work that to our advantage, though...I'll have to think about that. And we'll need to step up our search.

[clap_your_hands.insanejournal.com]

Sounds like something we'll all have to keep in mind. And we should check with Messenger to see if there's any more leads on the other keystones...

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

With a lantern, we'll be able to try raiding them at night. It'll make things a lot easier.

[clap_your_hands.insanejournal.com]

*slight unease*

It's a good idea. Especially if they don't find out about that lantern. I'll keep you updated on anything we hear.

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

Right.

[overclocking.insanejournal.com]

I'm sorry for calling you out here so late. I appreciate it.

[clap_your_hands.insanejournal.com]

The way things are now, there's things that can't really wait now.

*to Jace*

If you need an excuse to be over here so late... you can stay a while. I-if you want.
