let's say it's the orb. how would we get its attention?

[ he has already begun examining the scroll. it shouldn't take too long for him to decode it. ]

In the past, they have responded to people psychically reaching out to them. The results have been mixed, it seems to hinge upon the temperament of the orb itself. They are highly individualistic. The one in Kilnan wished for energy to glut itself upon.

Sabriel believes she may have felt it, and that it sought to drain her energy before she broke off the connection. If so, it is possible this one is even more voracious — the other one at least communicated its intent beforehand.

[ there has to be a better method of obtaining the orb than offering up energy. at this point, that would just be a needless risk since it won't guarantee a desirable result. ]

okay.

[ give him a moment to run this over in his mind first. ]

whether the people here are imprints or under some kind of compulsion, there has to be someone who had sought the orb's help to accomplish this. if we can find them, then we may be able to get to the orb through them.

[blackfire]

I agree.

The people of interest Viveca-san identifies in the mission files usually have the strongest chance of being connected to the orb.

[mendo]

have you approached any of them?

[blackfire]

No.

（ easier to let the others try first, examine their results and try his own tack later. there is no point risking his cover this early in the mission. ）

[mendo]

we will see what turns up then.

anyway, thanks for the crow.

[blackfire]

（ no point in responding to that, so. he doesn't.

ja mata, etc etc. ）
