Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cerebral Paladin" data-source="post: 3632764" data-attributes="member: 3448">And we're back!-----[Session 22]The following morning, Dame Brionna and Kit each received a new, fairly odd document from the “Deep Brain” and the Chief Archivist.  [See attached once I get the document small enough to post.]  They each read through the document, Kit with the assistance of her secretary, and independently reached the judgment that Alistair needed to see it.“It’s a discussion of the greatest long-term threats to the Archduchy,” explained Kit as they handed a copy across.  “That means that it basically doesn’t touch on most of the threats we’re currently dealing with.  There’s some discussion of the Noldar and drow, and even of the elves in case they turned hostile, but it says that none of those are a serious threat for the foreseeable future.  It focuses on the Old Ones as the main credible threat, but we know nearly nothing about them.”“What do we know about the Deep Brain and the Chief Archivist?  Can we trust their analysis?”“I don’t know.  I get the sense that the Deep Brain isn’t human and may have been doing this job for a very long time.”“The document mentions that they are waiting in the Royal Chapel, your grace. The document makes it clear that they think you may decide to have them killed.”“What?  Why would they possibly think that?  It’s bad enough that so many officials killed themselves without our making it worse.”“Apparently, some of your predecessors-- not the late Archduchess, of course, your grace-- had some of their predecessors put to death to replace them with people to whom they were closer.”“Madness,” said Alistair, while Kit and Dame Brionna nodded agreement.“But since we know where they are, maybe I should go find out who they are?” suggested Kit.  The rest of the Council agreed, and she quickly slipped off to make her way to the Royal Chapel.  She slipped into one of the balconies quietly.</blockquote>
