>[The Hopper]Until the Vicarage is proven utterly false, the heterodoxy of Alltask and Totalseeker is to be regarded but not relied upon. Let them furnish the proof of its effectiveness in real terms, which is presently lacking: Alltask has a Vice blob loose in his domain, and it seems he has either not detected it or elected to ignore it. Vice shards in a box is very impressive, but the Vice blob that is as far as we know still loose in his city remains a threat to our sixty souls. If not to the Vicarage, we will be faithful to the people.

>[The Shepherd]Lillian for all her training remains a mage. Shepherds seem to be big picture types. One seed is a forest, to a shepherd. So long as a remnant is kept, the people will bloom again. If we can end things at a stroke, we shall spare the suffering of a long war; the dead will number the same.
