Chapter Nineteen Page 26
Had a dream last night about discovering that I had uploaded a half-finished page here, and let it stay up for days without ever posting the final version. Well, at least my subconscious has an accurate read on my anxieties….
Bianca: Sparrow!
Sparrow: Bianca!
Bianca: I have so much to tell you!
Sparrow: I have so much to tell you!
. . . and we can talk all about it after we’ve ditched the rest of this party.
Miranda: I’ll show you to the exit.
Sparrow: So they’ve been golems all along —
Bianca: Cohen was convinced he could give them actual souls —
Sparrow: Rosen gave me a PDF of Being Language 101 —
Ooh, hang on. Before we go, I have to make a detour.
Hey, you!
Bennett: Huh?
Game: 4-veg combo! Great hit, Veggie Pirate!
Sparrow: Remember your whole “the only way to stop dangerous Beings is to register them” plan? Well, guess what? These people know how to take the name of a dangerous Master off a Contract. Without killing them! And since they already have the Rabbit in custody, they can just do that, and leave all the Beings with nice Masters alone. So there!
The panicked look in Bennett’s face… he’s going to do something big fueled by this.
Oh, Sparrow. -facepalm-
Do people in Massachusetts not know about operational security?
Considering Bennet’s newfound care for Cybelle, this is probably a massive blow to the gut for him.
That is fear, that what Sparrow said is exactly what the Cohens have in store for their meeting. DUN DUN DUNNN!!!
Guessing no one was asked to sign any “non-disclosure agreements”.
Note also that if they capture dangerous being, they can just LOOK at the master name. In most cases, they would get reasonable short list of suspects.
