Thank you for your advice Igraine - I have edited my post to reflect that. I didn't carry on too far, since I didn't want to effect Derren's post. For now, let's just say that Aoife shall follow him and co until they reach Atticus/she's discovered/I post again? 

Note: I also read Heroes post such that Aislinn was the only one in the room, but that might have just been implying that she was the focal point. Please inform me if I need to edit that.
