Subject: Kings Cult
I’ve been mulling things over with Twain. Apparently, we’re on team “Stop Rune.” I suppose I can’t complain. I’ve never been one to save rogue Elders. Or Elderlings. Whatever she is. I think we should have tried to stop Rune a long time ago. Better late than never, I guess. I’ve already asked Dover to add a little something “extra” to his “Replacement Juice,” which I definitely think he could have come up with a better name for. Assuming the Shakas are able to administer the concoction, should things not work out, I’d like Rune to at least be incapacitated for a few hours. Long enough to secure her body somewhere she can’t do any further damage.
As for what we would do with her body, I’m not sure. My instinct is to bring her to the Freezer. Though with the war still raging on, we probably shouldn’t add any more powder to that keg. I think I would be able to get past the Ozhog’s barricades, but it’s a one-way trip. I wouldn’t be able to leave the Freezer until after the war ends. And I still have work I’d like to get done here. Though, I’m sure I could make arrangements with Zver to retrieve her body from Astoria’s Seabase.
Alternatively, Twain wants to keep her body here, locked away in the Zulu Vaults. While they aren’t as secure as the Freezer, I will admit you don’t often hear of anyone or anything escaping the Zulu Vaults. But Twain doesn’t want to keep Rune here for safety. I think, despite being on team “Stop Rune,” her idea of stopping Rune still involves saving her somehow. I’d much rather throw her in the deepest cell of the Freezer and move on.
Well… I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens. Then we can fight over what to do next. I think I’ll still send Zver a heads-up, just in case.
