It begins...

[willyousee]

Your pardon, everyone.

[A calm, cultured voice speaks firmly across the psychic network, cutting through the babble.]

If everyone could please check in, perhaps we can determine who is infiltrating and who is investigating. Please especially speak up if you arrived outside of the room of clothing racks. Has anyone met one of the infiltrators yet?

[He gives the mental equivalent of shaking his head thoughtfully.]

There isn't enough information to be able to tell. There is no sign of a vehicle outside at the moment, but apparently this building is set into a mountainside. It may be that they may be hidden from us. I myself would be inclined to search the building, as it is more immediately available, and by the look of things has far more places to hide.

[capital_asset]

That's probably our best course of action for now.

[Another pause.]

Has anyone found any exits?

[willyousee]

Not that will open, if they are exits. The angle is wrong from the skylights to see down to the level of the wardrobe hall, so it is unclear if the enormous door there is meant to lead outside or further in. The doors do not appear to have visible locks or hinges, so I am uncertain if we have a method of opening them short of blasting them with magic as of yet.

[capital_asset]

...And that should probably be a last resort for now. And without knowing how the outside world got that way, it might not be wise to go out there anyway.

Has anyone reported seeing a library or something similar? That could be helpful.

[willyousee]

I agree.

I have not seen a library as such, but there are items that seem to be books, or something similar. But they are not made like any books I know. I believe they are meant to be watched, rather than read. Each sleeping chamber has a selection.

[capital_asset]

Watched instead of read... I see.

[He's less than thrilled about that, but he can't just refuse to use the resources they have just because he's not comfortable with how they work. He'll cope.]

Does every chamber have the same ones?

[If they don't, that could be useful, but he's not sure of the chances of that.]

[willyousee]

I am uncertain - I have not had the chance to check all of them as of yet. There seem to be a number of them dedicated to the 'Starmovers'. Is that familiar?

[capital_asset]

Unfortunately no. But they're clearly important if they feature in so many books.

[willyousee]

Agreed. Time spent learning about them hardly seems wasted, if we have the time available. It may be that the Starmovers have something to do with the building, or were worthy heroes of a past age - something we might use to allay suspicion in the Infiltrators.

[capital_asset]

I suspect we'll need all the help we can get there.
