 “Unit 01?” A rasping voice echoes from the shaft where the grating used to be.

 “I should say that rather depends on what they find out, Jimmy.”
-“And I should rather say that would depend on who they commission to do the finding. If only there was someone in Acryn of sound disposition who happened to be a peerless authority on matters of the soul. They could assuage - or indulge - any fears the Council might have. I’d say such a person would be very valuable friend, wouldn’t you?”

 Kythera sucks her teeth. “Of course, this institution has been going for quite some time, Jimmy. And as you should know - and appreciate - we are experts at knowing how to survive. The Guild has weathered storms like this before.”
-Jimmy shrugs. “Sure. Though I imagine that between all of the people that House Cargan can muster - and of the people I can muster - that would represent a significant amount of pressure on the Wayfinders Guild. And, when faced with a rock and a hard place, as those of us who survive know: you pick the one that’s softer. Of course, I’m sure there’s nothing that could drive a wedge between the Wayfinders and the Clockmakers Guild. You are so very close, after all.”

 “Well, quite. Although, it does strike me - we were due to have an internal audit anyway. Completely routine, but it might benefit us to have an //independent// advisor on board. Someone sensitive to the way we do things here. They would also have to be quite skilled in the mechanics of the soul - someone no less than an authority on the subject, I should say.”

 SOME TIME LATER
-A large crate with the Clockmakers' Guild insignia is delivered to Jimmy Hoskins. Some time after that, Jimmy reports back to the Council that clockwork automata do not have the same kind of soul as other ensouled individuals and as such, in his expert opinion, should not be treated as citizens of Acryn with their own rights. (This does not stop Hardy attempting to invite one to speak at his support group).
+A large crate with the Clockmakers' Guild insignia is delivered to Jimmy Hoskins. Jimmy begins the work of conducting an expert investigation into the nature of the clockwork golems' souls. It is expected that the report will take a few months. Doing a thorough job will take time, however, and (after all) there are so many setbacks and delays that can happen to an investigation such as this. The fact that an investigation //is// underway, however, mollifies the Council - and buys the Guild precious time.
 Meanwhile, James Walker, Olivia Darrish, and Unit 03 join forces with the Clockmakers' Guild and begin work proper on the necessary upgrades to create a functional hybrid Unit.
