I ponder Ithi's offer of support carefully.  "There isn't a great deal of assistance that be had, unless someone has a team of research assistants available... however, some help finding our reporter friend would help... and the ritual is likely to be rather expensive.  On the order of six thousand gold, at a guess.  If you could procure the funds from Saithe, it would make progress considerably easier."<br/><br/>With that, I head out.  Though I want to catch up with Kasumi, we both have our work to do, and plenty of it.  We will have time later, but now?  This ritual is a massive undertaking.
