Prince has a winter ball. Everyone goes except Haeraan who goes reluctantly.

There's talk of naval war games in the spring. Wacky. Haeraan gets recruited to plan the events. They want enough votes on the council to try and get it passed. Haeraan is mentioned as having some pull with certain families whose daughters fling themselves at him. Haeraan trie sto get some votes among the religous.

Jared, a young guy from house Dolnegan hits on Alynna a lot, but is otherwise a social leper. Very strange. Alynna plays along. A bunch of other young men start razzing Alynna and Jared. Jared is fascinated by Alynna's claim that she has Lugraki slaves. This minister of state, a full elf, later comes by to warn Alynna to be careful with those guys. Alynna later turns down poor Jared's dinner invitation.

On the way home, Janis, Oathar's nanny, asks to speak with Oathar. She "was out" and minding her own business when she overheard a rumor that there's been interest in contracts being taken out on our Villa. Sigh. We putter around.

We go to the meeting with the librarians, and capture the brotherhood of the word guys.

It was manufactured in a number of industrial facilities around the Terran empire, used in survival gear. This batch was from a crashed supply ship. We're not supposed to have it. It would be evidence that they were tampering with our culture. They don't need to get it back if they can cover it up. They know about only one Terran base associated with the Brotherhood of the Word and one associated with the orbiting star above. The little boxes they carry were made on Earth about a dozen years ago. They are recording devices and data storage and transfer.
