Oh, agent, I have a message for you.
0:10
On behalf of the order of the ascendant
0:12
and her impermeable wisdom, the
0:14
presiding bishop Ruth Basar, welcome to
0:17
Lelass's garden. The presiding bishop is
0:20
presently indisposed, but I've been
0:22
instructed to direct you to the
0:23
artificer laurate for whatever pressing
0:26
matter has brought you to the garden.
0:28
She's working in Belvadier Hall's
0:30
secondary courtyard. Enter the large
0:33
building at the top of the mesa ahead
0:34
and follow the first hall on your right.
0:53
The artificer laurate is head of the
0:56
department of applied scientism,
0:57
overseeing the exemplars or craftsmen of
1:00
our order. Weapons and technology all
1:03
fall under her purview.
1:06
Oh yes, the vicer did ask me to direct
1:09
you to him. How positively forgetful of
1:11
me. He should be waiting for you in

Belvadier Hall's main courtyard at the

Oh, no, not at all. The presiding bishop
1:24
routinely spends time in a sensory
1:26
deprivation chamber to hone her mental
1:28
faculties. Of course, she does seem to
1:30
be logging more hours in the chamber of
1:32
late, but I'm certain that's all part of
1:35
the plan. The rest of the Laurate
1:37
Council is capable of managing affairs
1:39
while the presiding bishop is occupied.
1:41
Really, it's no reason for concern.
1:44
Nothing in the garden is.
1:51
Look around you. I don't see a
2:01
You're right. My response was too
2:03
ambiguous. Allow me to be more direct.
2:06
Those in the garden have enough
2:08
perspective to remain present and to
2:10
focus on what matters. Science and
2:20
and you for recognizing such quality of
2:23
vision. But now I fear I have kept you
2:26
long past an ideal duration. May all
2:28
your problems precede solutions.
2:36
Is it just me or does something seem
