Re: [AT LYNX]
After the earthquake, Ophiuchus was ordered to bar access to the Pillar and to refuse missions from Surgeon. The day after Cerces arrived, there was a game -- Lynx won -- and in the afternoon, a group of blanks tried to make it past Ophiuchus to visit the Pillar.
They succeeded, but they returned with their memories having been altered so they thought they were people from Sabra's past. They recognize people differently, and have headaches when you try to correct them.
Two days after that -- yesterday -- something odd happened to the lake. All the animals vanished, and people who fell into the lake emerged with their memories altered just like those who had visited the Pillar. Bond was one of those people.
Last night, there was a game. Royal lost an eye, but Lacerta healed the wound -- we owe them now, but I don't think we've discussed the terms of trade just yet.
[okay done! waiting to see if you have any questions.]
