She will save each of us, one day, and she will kill one of us. Do not fear; She bears you no ill will for your demonstration, and She holds no vengeance in Her heart for your act of liberation from the Frustrum." The neutering, though, was an act of violence that She had not deserved. Amanuel had not the courage to act against the Wedge in this, and thus his hands were soiled from the task. The lance of fire which had graced Her was now expertly mounted on an inferior mechanism, one not worthy of the honor. In the Holy Ledger such an imbalance would be corrected, in time. He would restore Her fire and seek Her forgiveness for the violation. It would be... Step 24. And it would require an Allen Wrench. The other details were unclear.<br/><br/>None of this could be done should She be taken afar. She must remain here, with the Wheel. The sale must be completed. That was Step 3.<br/><br/>Amanuel spoke to Uncle Marco, an act he was often loathe to undertake. "The Lady speaks the truth, Lord Wheel. This mechanism is strong, yet Sh... it is also delicate.

Though the most dangerous element has been removed the balance has been preserved, yet it is a fine balance indeed. A small imperfection, left unchecked.... In the age of precision such matters were of no consequence, you understand. All was made perfect as a matter of routine."<br/><br/>He paused. "Also I was planning to cut a large hole in the roof. If pressed I would not be able to say why, but I feel that it would improve... something. Of course if you, as the new owner, strongly object then there are other objects and surfaces which might equally well satisfy this need."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">Reading a person, on Uncle Marco.<br/><br/>Roll Result: Amanuel rolled: 2d6, adding 1to the total<br/>Comment: Reading Uncle Marco<br/>Result: 4, 3, <br/>Total: 8<br/><br/>Hold 1.
