"Not, every enclave and some individuals have subscriptions."

"I can go back inside and fetch one."

"I don't know what order of operations makes the most sense here but it certainly won't hurt anything."

Kanimir and Katarzyna re-enter, having apparently gotten all the comparing their families out of their system. 

"What won't hurt anything?"

"If I go in and fetch the Journal of Maleficaria studies so we can look at heatmaps for the honeypot plan. We might do it all in one go via portals instead of in lots of places."

"I mean, I don't know about one go, we might need to break to sleep and stuff."

"Might depend what kind of uptake we get. There are witches who don't need to sleep."

"You lucky bastards."

"Oh. Drat. If it was some kind of divination and we could reach the person who knew it, that would have been useful."

"So that means that it disproportionately represents less-stealthy ones?"

Permalink

"And the ones that kill people but yes."
