“Keep in mind that these plans aren’t set in stone yet. If you happen upon a better solution or any tactical advantages we can utilize, don’t hesitate to inform me–we can use all the help we can get…”
You nod–if <span class="mu-g">CLIFF</span> and his guys help out…
“That’s a big ‘<span class="mu-i">if</span>’, Stanley.” Chides the phone as a look of uncertainty creeps onto the personal assistant’s face. “Remember that friendly or not, you’re still dealing with the enemy.”
Yea, yea, you grumble, she sounds like <span class="mu-r">CURT!</span>
“I’m merely working with the information I have.” The phone retorts. “Not everyone has experienced what you have.”
Damn right they haven’t, you boast! You’ll remind everyone of that at the <span class="mu-b">AWARDS CEREMONY!</span> Stifling a grin, Christy taps away at her phone to distract herself.
“<span class="mu-g">THE ORDER OF THE WANDERING EYE</span> will be renewing the <span class="mu-b">MAGICAL BARRIER</span> around <span class="mu-g">THE LODGE.</span>” The phone drones. “It’s served us well thus far, but the mages believe a stronger shield will be necessary if <span class="mu-r">THE LICH</span> launches a siege.”
Well sure, you mutter, but they haven’t found out where this place is yet, right? Isn’t it hidden, or whatever?
“According to the Order, yes.” Christy replies, face scrunched up with indecision. “But anyone with a brain could have deduced that humans are hiding somewhere.” She pauses to give you a sideways glance. “And with the possibility of a <span class="mu-r">TRAITOR</span> or <span class="mu-r">TRAITORS</span> in our midst, our location is almost guaranteed to already be known.”
There’s that word again…
