Emancipation

[Corwin]

Seira provides him with all the notes, as well as the hypothesis she and Moore share on how the ritual would open a portal to a place not quite in Creation or Beyond.

[Anastasia]

They are taken and soon, "Ah, I see what you're doing," he says at last. "Ambitious!"

[Corwin]

"Necessary," Seira comments. "And I feel we're close, so we're pushing for it."

[Anastasia]

A consideration, "Then it's necessary," he says without any resistance. "I will need time to compile notes and check lore."

[Corwin]

"Of course. I'm perfectly fine waiting." She winks at him. "After all, there's always one of me doing something directly productive~"

[Anastasia]

"Then I will be back with more as soon as I am able, my lady." Is the answer you get.

[Corwin]

I'll wait, then! Also, has Donald secured an audience with Hectarr XXXVII for me?

[Anastasia]

Working on it. Feel free to contact him for more details if you want them and an ETA.

[Corwin]

I'll just wait to finish this bit of business.

[Anastasia]

Soon enough you are presented with papers and scrolls, "Here, my lady," The Authority bows deeply to you.

[Corwin]

As she gives him her heartfelt thanks, Seira adds, "Actually, there is another reason I wished to consult with you. Do you know of anything that might make it easier for me to infiltrate Dis?"

[Anastasia]

A moment's nod. "Do not speak lightly of this, but the Iron Tower has a network of portals. However, my understanding is that they are mostly a meaningless diversion."

[Corwin]

"So stealth is pointless, and the best option is to tunnel through the walls?"

[Anastasia]

"I don't know," The Authority admits, "I've heard rumors of a second network, as well as an entire city hidden in the Iron Tower."

[Corwin]

"Do you know who might know more?"
