But I don't know what!

Hmm, why isn't she saying outright? Someone's reading the mail but not carefully? Whether you pick up on the hints filters for whether she wants you to know? She does want you to know but has promised not to say? She is trying to mislead you with plausible deniability? Are there other options?

Don't think anyone's reading the mail. Other things maybe. Or I'm reading into it too much.

I don't think you're reading into it too much. Something's weird.

I'm not really suited to cloak and dagger mysteries.

I am pretty bad at that for being able to read minds.

I mean, that's kind of a last resort.

Well, yes, I'd be much less bad at it if I actually did resort to reading minds.

Fair enough.

Still haven't tried Scion. I think I will next time, though. The priorities problem is more pronounced with landmasses sinking.

Yeah, go for it.

He sends Dragon updated requests as quickly as he can manage it.

She is always fast and friendly. If he follows the news she's simultaneously doing all kinds of heroic inventing, although mostly from a distance.

He follows enough news to notice that. 

Do you have some kind of accelerated perception thing?

No, I just have no life. Although I wouldn't turn down a magic attention thing if you had one spare.

Finishing up another project at the moment, I can maybe do one after that if it'd be more valuable than making anybody unaging or getting somewhere on mental opacity.

No reply to that.

Huh.

He tells Lorica this the next time they talk.

She might not sleep. Miss Militia doesn't and that has nothing to do with her power. Still.

I don't want to penalize people for suspicious levels of productivity and usefulness even if they do have bad aims somewhere, if that makes any sense.

Foam is a godsend, I used to have to get bots close enough to tranquilize people and that doesn't work on like 30% of capes at all.

I'll take your word for it. Humanely capturing people still seems like a contradiction in terms.

It's more ambiguous if they're going to the Birdcage. ...which Dragon runs, if that matters for anything. I don't know who ran it before.

Yeah. I tell myself they probably have the means to kill themselves if they'd rather. I don't know if that's even true.

They probably do.
