...damn, damn, I knew this was gonna... [Kanji's mental voice is tense, but he's keeping it under grim control as he goes on.]

Ugh. Alright. I knew some folks around here know about Travellers, there was ... that crap that Thorne mentioned.
But.. Yeah. We might have trouble. The ... does anyone know who the hell the Exorcist Corps are? They know about us, and I dunno if they sound like the sorta guys you want round for tea.

Other than that... I think I heard that the royals are here already. Ain't seen any actual sign of 'em but I guess they're keepin' a low profile. And - huh, while we're at it... does anyone know who Joseph Verruy is? I keep hearing the name on the radio. Sounds like there's some kinda trouble there.

...so, uh. Think we might need to get shit straight. Anyone else got anythin' interesting?

I'm trying. Even after sorting through all the biases involved, I doubt I'm really gonna have a complete picture.

India suspects Britain started the prisoner exchange in bad faith. China's just annoyed with this abuse of British Hegemony interfering with their attempt to be a Totally Peaceful Player You Guys. The Manticorps really want Harold Spock back, so my guess is they're looking to get their hands back on the other half of the exchange.

And if Travelers got plunked into the middle of this mess, it's entirely possible the exchange was supposed to fail.

... the other half of the exchange... think it might be Joseph Verruy?

[claudiometer]

It's definitely possible.

[thornsofmalkav]

Yeahhhhhh. Well, we certainly don't want to ship Joscelin off to India.

[claudiometer]

That would be the opposite of helpful. Doubly so since he's not actually who they're looking for.

[thornsofmalkav]

Yup.

Fucking return Jaunts.

So very, very seconded.

When Malik asked if I wanted to turn myself over, I said it was too rash a step.

Now, it might not be.

[claudiometer]

...If you do go for that, be careful.

[protect_and_serve]

Of course.
