[It is a very solemn Giovanni who addresses everyone today. Maybe it’s due to the cold which, admittedly was a problem that even an extra wrap could not quite solve, but more likely it was due to the book on Renaissance history that was sitting open faced on his lap. He had finally found the time to read the book he had traded Cat (a.k.a. Arya Stark) for and the manuscript held a grim glimpse into the future. ]

We are brought here, told that changing the past is the way to correct the future but I find myself wondering if that is true. Has anything that has been done really been for the best? Those who were native in Exsilium before our arrival have been nearly entirely wiped from history. Instead of correcting the troubles with these ‘nuclear bombs’ we have only plunged the planet into a deep cold. Now we are told we must do more of these missions to gather supplies and correct these new problems. Does it ever end?

I wonder how many of you agree with this. Is changing the past in this manner something you feel is right?

[His voice took on an even softer tone as he thought back on what he had read. ]

What would you do if you had future knowledge of a terrible event? Would you journey to the past to stop it from happening or would you be too concerned it might cause something even worse to occur?

Then quiet scouting is one of your proposed actions, I assume?

I'm decent at that.

[deadlybanker]

Perhaps.

[But he is 'only a banker' and not good at scouting at all... Oh, forget it. He doesn't bother with the misdirection this time.]

You have had experience scouting and spying?

[have_hat_will_travel]

I have... Quite a few tools for such a job. Teleportation to familiar locations, shifting into the ether to step through walls, invisibility...

Magic's quite the force, I find. As is just knowing how to walk with quiet tread.

[deadlybanker]

You have spying magic?

That must be endlessly useful. To walk through walls, there would be no place you could not travel.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Mind, that one's not perfect. I have to end the spell to be able to see anything of use.

[deadlybanker]

Still, you could get in. Do you know if the United Earth or the Initiative has a way to guard against this power?

[It's made him curious now!]

[have_hat_will_travel]

I actually don't. It's possible, since they've cloned some people's powers... But not at all a sure thing.

[deadlybanker]

Then it might still be possible to use it against them. If... the need should ever arise.

[have_hat_will_travel]

You're thinking of plans that don't call for that, then.

[deadlybanker]

There are many things I could do. I am only trying to sort out my own thoughts and decide what is the best course of action.

[Vague but, he does like his secrets.]

If I find I do need some one who could move through walls could I contact you again?

[have_hat_will_travel]

Go for it. Network's the easy way to reach me, since I'm slipping between the moonbase and earth fairly often.

[deadlybanker]

Then I will, if the situation calls for it. Grazie, you have been very helpful.

[have_hat_will_travel]

May luck be at your back.
