Lenpro scanned the front page of the Andorian Star quickly and frowned. On his
lean and hawk-like face, the expression was intimidating. "I did not think it was a
good idea to allow that gadfly from the Star an interview," he said.
Senator Sedalia, not one to be intimidated, shook his head. "He struck just the
right note," the Lord Protector argued. "Concern but not suspicion or alarm--yet.
After all, there may be a reasonable explanation for the king's failure to act. We
have given them an opening to make that explanation." He leaned back in his chair
and propped his heels on footstool. Nowhere but at the Lenpro guildhouse was there a
chair so perfectly suited to him, and he intended to enjoy it while he could. All
too soon, he would be headed back for Andor and the Royal Palace. The rain drumming
on the roof did not make that an enticing prospect. Memory of the shiftyeyed clerks
and minor ministers he'd met on the last trip was also depressing.
"That insolent puppy of a reporter even quoted me!" Lenpro growled.
Sedalia picked up his own copy of the tabloid and scanned the short article
quickly.

Iaye:
In an interview yesterday, Senator Sedalia stated that he had gone to Andor with
the intention of requesting the King's aid for the coastal areas battered by the
dramatic and tempestuous waves resulting from the sinking of Krael.
"I and my colleagues felt that the devastation along the coast is properly a
matter for the King's attention," the senator and lord protector said. "We did not
go seeking a hand-out, but only a helping hand."
A spokesman at the Royal Palace, who declined to identify himself when queried
on Sedalia's visit, said that the matter had been "taken under advisement." No
further development of this position could be obtained in Andor.
Senator Sedalia's manager, Lenpro of Iaye, told this reporter that, "We will
pursue this matter."
Anyone with information that might be of assistance is invited to communicate
with the Andorian Star office.
"There is such a thing as bad publicity," the senator acknowledged, "even though
some people claim otherwise. But this is not it. Concerned and firm. All cats are
still in their bags."
Lenpro snorted laughter. "Have you ever tried to bag a cat and keep it there?
Word that we're up to something will be all over northwestern Alastari faster than
horses can gallop."
"I've often thought carrier pigeons should be roasted and eaten," Sedalia
agreed. "Besides, those rumors will work in our favor. Anyone who even thinks they
know something will be getting in touch."
"Tchh!" Lenpro stood suddenly. "Are you so much of a fool, Sedalia? The
Assassins' Guild has been dissolved--officially. But it has long been an arm of the
King of Andoria, and I do not believe that he--or whoever is behind him--has
dispensed with it now."
"As a Lord Protector--" Sedalia began.
"--You are subject to the whims of the Grey Witch," Lenpro finished. "There is
a strong possibility that she is involved in this business. Do you think that a Lord
Protector assassinated for prying into her business would be resurrected by her
magicians?"
Sedalia shifted uncomfortably. As a politician, conspiracy theories came
naturally to him, but to involve the premier magician in Alastari with one did
seem... risky. "There are powerful magicians who aren't on her payroll," he said.
"Fandil of Ardivent, Lady Adeolar of Aruak City, Master Cho--plenty of them. And,"
now Sedalia stood, as well, "I have been involved in politics for a lifetime and
survived it. I am no easy target for an assassin."
Lenpro was silent for several minutes, staring past his gladiator at the rain-
curtained window. Finally he sighed. "The time for caution and second thoughts has
passed," he admitted. "We have already begun, and the blades will fall where they
may. Be careful."

SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! NEUROMANCERS had cause to celebrate, after WHITE NOISE got 23 points by
beating CADDIS DEANE. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, WHITE NOISE was
winsome, after beating CADDIS DEANE and seeing him lose 14 points. In ZENSU, nothing
is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a new Duelmaster, ELDA MAINZ. So
who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds
like a PR stunt to me.
And how sociable are ZENSU's warriors? Come, let us see.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Oh hard! that
to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
Leave me now, you base fools! More important duties call me. ZENSU, I leave
you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Victory Tavern. 'Til next
time-- Novgorodny Vir
