I'm convinced this is the right path.  Our key advantage over E:N is our ability to use the shape and Merris' team know more about it than any other group in the city.

[Belacqua]

Apart from one.

Shapeforms tend to be somewhat...uncooperative when it comes to helping humans to utilise the shape.

[Belacqua]

Perhaps they don't like people leaving litter all over their nicely organised structures.  I don't trust academics: they're always poking their noses in.  You'll be minding your own business and suddenly this huge glaring observation construct will rip up through the shape fabric right in front of you.

[Nix]

Maybe you should talk to them about it.

[Belacqua]

No, I'm going to be my regular demure self: don't want to cause any trouble.

[Nix]

How is our current shape status?

[Belacqua]

I'm seeing a lot more activity from Blue Sunlight than usual.  It's odd because they don't even have a functional Tactician.

Keep an eye on it.
