Adrianna paused, letting her gaze flit around the room. "There are quite a few matters to address. Lady Imperia-Airwright and I have discussed it at length, and we believe that a division of tasks would be the most efficient way of confronting this problem."

"I would very much appreciate it if anybody familiar with members of the Craftsmen Guild could assist Lady Imperia-Airwright and Bread Pudding in investigating Miss Shoreditch. In addition, if anyone has information regarding the missing individuals, it would be very helpful. Lieutenant Enright is a member of the Legionnaire Guild-as I previously mentioned-and Mr. Bay a member of the Scholar Guild. Mr. Smith, as you may have inferred, is in the Scholar Guild as well, and was a student at the Polytechnique Institute."

"The Supreme Commander is of the opinion that determining what sort of procedure Mr. Elliot would have used to create automatons, as well as the materials necessary, would be helpful. I, for one, agree with this assessment, and I ask that anybody who is familiar with principles relating to automatons and Myalo to share what they know. I will also make Mr. Smith's notes and the materials we were able to salvage from Mr. Overton's laboratory available in the near future."

Adrianna glanced in Rowena's direction as she shifted slightly. "Yes, thank you very much, Captain Kingsford," she said smoothly, sharp brown eyes assessing the individuals gathered. "To add to what the honorable captain has already listed, it would be in our best interests to attempt to monitor the goods being smuggled into the city, especially from Brassham City, which is where many of the tools necessary to create automatons come from."

"And, finally, Bread Pudding has generously found someone to preserve the bodies that have been discovered. The captain and I would like to, mm, examine them more closely, and we would appreciate it if anybody who cared to join would let us know. We do apologize for the rather distasteful nature of such an investigation, but as we all know, such is a part of life."

And that was that. "Please, if anyone has questions, ask them now," said Adrianna. "Lady Imperia-Airwright and I will be setting dates later in April for all of us to convene once again. As I am sure you can tell, we would like to conduct this investigation with the utmost urgency."[/hider]
