Once in Michael's office - Gideon eschewed sitting, instead taking the 'at ease' stance of a soldier in the military - he waited for the man to finish speaking.  "I am Gideon O'Connell, Scion of Ogma of the Tuatha," he explained his origin to the man.  "Reason I'm here...well, it's complicated."  He explained that he'd been on the track of an interesting case when he'd gotten jumped by way too many guys for a Scion to handle and knocked out in the process.  Then, he'd woken up - maybe a handful of hours ago - and found himself two hours south from this house in the forest.  There had been a bunch of Amazons there, seemingly not themselves.  He described the purple crystal, and the effect it had on the women.<br/><br/>"One of them had managed to resist, and she helped break me out and get my Birthrights back," he explained.  "Then I came here, looking for help to deal with the village, which probably means the crystal."
