Open House

The office move is completed, just waiting for the furniture.

The Compound is coming along nicely, and two of the units are rented.

The transportation system was delayed, due to some sort of problem with the Dharma folks needing to focus their efforts elsewhere, but I'm assured things will proceed and be completed without any further delays.

This is all good.

Not so good, Cody. Cody seems to be having some effect on Lily. I've warned him to stay away from her. With any luck, this will make him try to see her in secret, and I can observe her reactions without other complicating factors.

Everything is proceeding according to plan. Even Emma has joined Special Projects Division.

The only thing missing is a certain golden coin.

Where are you hiding, little one? Do the slavers know what they have?

I tracked them to Botany Bay and the intel I picked up there both spoken and unspoken was enough to indicate that while I likely could manage to get to her, and maybe even extricate her, this would happen again and again unless a strong signal was received by her "hosts".

It was not the sort of signal that benefit us all long term. So, I went to the best person for the job. Seana Kawanishi. Mayor of Hale's Moon. Lily's adopted "mother". Auroras....guardian.

Seana said she will deal with them. I have to wonder, does she have any idea what they have?

Somehow I think she does. Or she soon will.
