Morgana stayed quiet as the others spoke, staring at the open menu in her hands but reading nothing into its contents; and not just because it was all written in German. Her mind was occupied elsewhere as she listened to everyone else’s stories, thinking about something that had been on her mind since their first briefing, a concern that only grew as everyone revealed more about themselves.

The conversation at the table fell into a lull once Xaviron had finished speaking and it took Morgana a moment to realise why. She closed the menu with a snap and placed in down in front of her. [color=c4df9b]“I suppose that means it’s my turn.”[/color]

There was a pause as she decided how much she should say; not because she had anything to hide, just to keep things succinct. People who talked about themselves too much were a bore. [color=c4df9b]“If you didn’t catch it earlier, my name is Morgana. I’m from Northern England originally but I haven’t been back home in a while. I joined the OMR straight out of university as a researcher and since then I’ve been working in the Department of Heretical Studies in London to… [i]correct[/i] our notions about how magic works. My talents lie mostly in rituals and apotropaic magic; binding, sealing, warding, that kind of thing. Some healing and scrying on the side. Enchanting as well I suppose; placing spells onto objects.”[/color]

Morgana shrugged. [color=c4df9b]“That’s more or less it. I was occasionally asked to consult on cases, or investigate something, when my expertise was useful, but I don’t [i]do[/i] field work. Or I didn’t, until today. I’m not sure why I was asked to come along on this mission.”[/color] And that was the crux of the matter, the concerns that were occupying her mind. She turned toward Amanda, the person who was nominally in charge of this mission. [color=c4df9b]“I was hoping you might be able to shed some light on that actually. Why was I selected? Why were any of us?”[/color]

An undercover agent, an inexperienced agent, a reservist, a mercenary, a researcher. Aside from Amanda herself none of the members on this ‘team’ seemed like the kind of people who would or should be put onto a case as important as this; a weapons smuggling group capable of long-range teleportation, who sold to people who dabbled in demonic magic and abominable artefacts, maybe even sold those kind of things themselves. They’d handled themselves well so far, but this was too important to leave to a hodgepodge team like this.
