[ As normal, Helen has been very busy in the world of the Sanctuary. There has been a small increase in spotted abnormals, which they've been responding to and bringing several of them to the Sanctuary. In other cases they've simply extended a helping hand. Given it's more or less the new year for their world, Helen has called a meeting of the

kind of action

[Ezio doesn't stop by, as such, not to visit at least. Instead, he drops off a vase of orchids in her office with a simple note on it that reads:

Per illuminare la vostra giornata.

He doesn't need to sign it. She would know who they are from.]

[notanemptymotto]

[ And that it certainly does. Helen understands that, like her work, Ezio's requires him to be very busy and to spend more time with his novices than with her. It doesn't bother her like it would a younger woman. If anything she respects the dedication he has to his Order and it's Creed.

Turning the note over with a smile, she reaches for the phone that is attached to the Mandalus Network. The other one in her pocket only works among the Sanctuary members. Unsure as to when Ezio would be able to talk, she simply leaves a message for him: ]

E per illuminare anche il vostro, tesoro.

[alltenfingers]

[And that certainly does something to brighten up his day. Even when they can't get to see each other, this is enough sometimes.]

È illuminato i miei giorni, l'amore.

How is your work today?

[ The life of busy old people. ]

Very long and detailed. We're attempting to do several changes in the Sanctuary.

[alltenfingers]

It sounds complicated. Do you wish to talk about it?

[notanemptymotto]

I'm trying to get us better situated here. Things have calmed down for the passing time, so hopefully we can actually do something that will help the abnormals here in Mandalus. Although I have my doubts we can operate like we can back home.

[alltenfingers]

It does sound like you have much to do. It seems like a worthy feat. But are things so different that operations would change drastically?

[notanemptymotto]

There is no UN to worry about here, thankfully. Instead I have to wonder how much the System is tracking our every move. It's rather hard to work in the unknown if everything you do is known. I'm certain you've run into this with your own work.

[alltenfingers]

Si si I understand this problem. Actually we have a private underground network we use separate from this one, or it is in the works. A friend is finishing the final devices. It may be prudent to create something similar. I am sure Henry could do it. I would suggest you use ours with us, but I would not want you to suffer the unpleasantness of our work.

[notanemptymotto]

Henry has created our own phone system that is separate from the Mandalus Network. I'm not entirely sure that would do much to stop the actual tracking of these Bangles. Not that I have seen them do very much outside of being a potential cause of when people randomly go into a deep sleep.

I'm certain there is a fair amount of unpleasantness in my work as well. Politics.
