I did think of that. I think he's fine.

I'd be grateful if you called in sick, all the same.

So he climbs a tree and sulks and keeps a metaphorical eye on the apsel.

The apsel reads books to assemble a curriculum. When he is tired of reading books he makes a violin, and plays it, turning digital pages on his computer through sheet music; a couple of contemporary pieces, more from very foreign musical styles. Then he eats a bagel and drinks another mocha and goes back to reading books.

What books, is he reading up about the secret government conspiracy he's stumbled on or more about vampires?

In between the medicine there's more about other kinds of demons and on witchcraft! He does not at this time dig up any material on the government conspiracy.

How friendly. 

The books continue to concur on:

- different kinds of witchcraft, some potions-y and some drawing on internal magic and some calling on extradimensional entities

- demons are evil and come from Hell or hells, maybe with some rare exceptions

The books disagree on:

- whether magic is mind-altering and/or addictive, or more specifically whether all magic is or just some poorly understood subset

- tons of miscellaneous demon details; seems like sometimes they encountered different species misidentified as the same ones, and like some noted demonologists were inflating their findings with invented stuff

- what souls are, whether they persist after death, and which entities have them, assuming some do. 

Oh hm mind-altering and/or addictive. Cam will not be trying to move paper with his mind any more till he has some more information about that, mind-altering shit is spooky as fuck. His brain, no admittance!

Well this is awkward.

So far none of the kinds of demons have mind powers that aren't, like, drugs, which he can probably just no-sell. Hopefully that's as bad as that gets.

There are totally various species of mindreaders further on in this book but they have to get quite close to pick one mind out of a crowd.

Concerning. How does one defend against such things?

Kill them.

Well, these aren't the most nuanced authors. There probably aren't any being held captive in this facility, anyway, seems like the sort of thing you'd warn a guest about. The staff seem very whitebread American. Worry about that later. He makes a note to ask next time he's having an opportune conversation.

He seriously contemplates going home to his morning mass and then contemplates the conversation with Maitimo if Cam gets freaked out by something in a book and decides to destroy the world.

(It's not that Maitimo'd be disappointed. If it were that Maitimo'd be disappointed then that imaginary conversation would not be very deterring at all.)

He stays and keeps up his very unwelcome mindreading and sings.

Cam reads a lot. He assembles his medicine lesson plan in between chapter skims. He has cures for lots of things and advances on the state of the art in other things even without doing a summoning rollout.

Plane lands. He leaves. He sends Maitimo impressions. 

Thank you, that's very interesting.

Uh huh.

Scientists come swarm Cam really excited to learn about the next two hundred years of advances in medicine!!

And he's delighted to share them!!!! He presents all the stuff without explaining how he knows any of it but with plenty of theoretical underpinning knowhow to make it implausible that he's just bullshitting.

They take a lot of notes and ask a lot of questions and the room buzzes excitedly for hours. They, too, seem to be whitebread Americans, possible exception for the guy in the corner who's very very tall and very pretty and - there's something about him such that if you knew vampires existed but nothing about what they looked like you might guess they looked that. It's not very definite, though, he could also just be a human. 

Cam doesn't have any unintrusive way of checking that. Is the fellow asking intelligent medical questions?

Nope he's just observing.
