Now What?

Five years ago, in a shadow known as terra, Norton's people started disappearing. The description of one of the people behind the disappearances was a person known as Mikail, who looks a lot like the guy that walked into the council chambers in a long white robe.

Neville has recovered from his wounds enough to re-enter the council chambers.

Thin Norton has mostly recovered and chats about ways of returning to Chaos.

Neville arrives and asks an Etiquette Guild member for permission to address the council. He is directed towards Flora, and asks for and receives permission to address the council.

Neville says that he has discovered that the Pattern at Rebma has been booby-trapped. There are crossbows pointed at anyone walking the Pattern, and there seem to be workings with the Pattern energies present. Jean joins Neville and says that there is a big bump on the Pattern at the castle.

Flora tries to send Caine to investigate the Pattern in Rebma. Caine tells her that Celeste summoned him, and that only she can dismiss him.

Norton and Mandor try to figure out how to take Norton's body back from Brandt.

Norton Logrus-pulls to Snarsht while Ilk in his head damps the insanity. After checking in on Norton's state of well-being, Snarsht tells Norton that he is working on a tracking beast for their enemy. Norton continues into the Council chambers and discreetly tells Flora about the beasty. Ilk updates Ilks, Ilk updates Norton.

Norton tells Andron about the soul that just went through his shields when he became Brandt.

Norton tells Snarsht about the shifter virus that he encountered on the Fringe. Various conversations happen. Neville suggests going to Rebma, Flora proposes the idea to the council, and Norton lojacks Random.

Norton reads Pattern from Random, with a hint of anchovies. Cailin creates a dragonfly, and Norton upgrades it and gives it Pattern. It turns into marzipan. They try again with more items, but they all become marzipan. Suhuy is cracking up - Dworkin is apparently dreaming of his youngest son.

Norton and Cailin end up making two scouts, and give them to Neville for transport. When the scouts get near Neville, they get tunnel vision and concentrate on the piece of him that is holding him. Norton takes the scouts back, and when they go more than an inch from Neville's body, they resume functioning normally. Neville blames shielding, and leaves the council chambers.

Neville places the scouts. When he returns, he is on fire.
