We don't know who this guy is, or if they're actually a jerk. If they're in charge of this town, they may be asking serious questions for legit reasons:
Adoption, marriage, and fertility are serious political business for royalty. Since Victoria is living in this city, and if she kacks it or gets mistreated in some way that is cause for war, it's perfectly reasonable for the local leadership to have an interest in Victoria's friends, associations, other relationships, and living circumstances.

"Tutors who can cover everything from basic literacy and arithmetic to swordplay, tactics, magic and statecraft would be more appropriate, though unnecessary. Someone who can keep up with her impressive capacity to destroy walls and furniture might be more necessary."

"I can not confirm or deny that I have spawned a child either in or out of this city."
He snorts, "We both know the day you lay upon the bed of a man is the day dragons come back to Havaros."
"Honestly, she can take care of her self. The only issue I can see is that she has no knowledge of the world."
He humms in contemplation.
"I do need a good teacher, she absorbs everything like a sponge, and I'm almost at a limit of what I can teach her."
"I think I could give you some recommendations later. But enough about that."
He presents the woman next to him, "This is Miss Asera, a representative of the Shrines."
She is nervous, but manages to give me a bow, "It is an honor to meet a pureblood Princess Victoria."
I give a slight frown at the title, but try not to show it. "It is a pleasure to meet you too Miss Asera." I look back to Prince Enrod, "May I enquire what this is about?"
"We may have found it." He produces a large grin.
"Found what?"
"An entrance into the Dragon's Ridge."

"The Dragon's Ridge."
"Yes."
"The impossible to climb ring of mountains."
"The very same."
"And how prey tell did you find the entrance?"
"It was uncovered in one of the tunnels after a cave-in."
I look skeptically, "Are you saying that the entrance of the Dragon's Ridge was buried under a mountain?"
"It was not as if we were looking for it. A few months ago, there was a cave-in in one of our tunnels. We scouted it out and found a cavern filled with Dragon artifacts. The survey team just returned and confirmed that there is a large... wall of mana."
He shakes his head and shrugs, "We've tried to dig around the wall, but even after all this time, the only thing we've excavated was a gate."

I put down the cup, "And I figure you need me for something related to this gate."
Miss Asera speaks up from there, "Correct your highness, we have reasons to believe that only those who have dragons blood in the can unlock the gate."
I glare at her as she continues, "The gate is guarded by a form of dragon guardian. It... scanned those who come close, and had only reacted to those who had traces of dragons blood in them. But so far, none has been deemed as worthy to enter."

The prince waved his hand, "We had sent a request for the Shrine's aid, but it will take years for the next Dragons Blood Avaros to be available to answer."
Miss Asera nods.

"And this is why you invited me."
He grins "So, are you in or are you out?"

"This sounds like a dangerous proposition. Plus the fact that it puts life of a royalty at risk. Well, being an adventurer I'm inclined to accept as I was getting bored with escort missions. However, you do realize how expensive such a mission would be, don't you?

No. 796658 ID: ba506f

alright, but before I answer I do have a few questions. One being what you hope to find inside? Another being, assuming you're right and this is a door into the ridge, how do you think the world will react to the news? I mean we are a people without a home right now, and dragon artifacts are very valuable or hell what if we find the dragons themselves. What's to stop whoever from marching up to the gates with an army to try and take what we find for themselves? Not that I believe that will be the first response people have but I do like to know what I'm working with.

"As you already know, I've been taking care of a child. I can't exactly leave her alone, even if she has been surviving by herself before she came here. And I don't feel comfortable about taking her with me either. But, I suspect that if I refuse, then you'll send someone to kidnap the child, so that you can use her Dragon's Blood."

I think, even if they assure Victoria that they won't do that, they'll still go behind her back to do that. And if they actually do try and kidnap Emils, whoever they send won't be returning and we finally have an excuse to consume someone! That is, as long as they send only 1 person thinking that's all they'll need to grab a kid that is at her home all by herself.

Doubtful; kidnapping Emils just to get inside would be a terrible idea, since they know there's something active in there that may be willing and able to rescue a small child from an armed contingent. It would also burn bridges with every dragon-blood on the planet, since they'll know this guy considers them objects to be used rather than people.
Also, he's clearly Victoria's semi-friend, at least. They're in a formal setting, but he's still joking around and ribbing her. That means he either doesn't care about getting on the bad side of another kingdom, or knows what he's saying isn't going to cause any problems.

If you go, take Emils with you. She can take care of herself, but will need people to witness her awesomeness on adventures for the guild to take her seriously. This is probably the safest way to get the best teachers busting down your door to teach her.

"And... What happened during the encounter with the guardian?"
"Oh," Miss Asera looks nervously, "We... it spoke in our heads." she shivered. "It spoke to us with what we sound like in our minds. But rather than trying to speak, it was more like... It tried to make sentences with words we knew?" She shook her head, "It didn't make sense most of the time. We interviewed those it spoke to, and only those of us who had traces of dragons blood in them heard that they did not have permission to enter."

"As much as the land of dragons are mysterious, I can't help but to wonder what it is you have to entice me to this plan of yours."
He gives me a wry smile, "I guess by now, you've had news of your homeland?"
I give him a slow nod.
"We received news of what happened about a week ago. While I am sorry for your loss, My father has sought council with the lords on how to handle possible refugees."

"My father is willing to set the land around the gate under jurisdiction of the shrine, but should you accept this mission, I could get him to set aside the surface lands above the gate for your people."
"The shrines are willing to offer their aid to your people at this time of need, Your highness." Miss Asera adds in, "Besides, should we gain access into the land of dragons, we could uncover a method to recover the lands lost by the blight."

"This... is a lot to consider." I say pensively.
"We understand," Prince Enrod nods, "We do not need for you to answer us now. It will take about two months for the paperwork of transfer and area to be secured. Once done, we set up a mission in the guild to escort and protect the supplies and people we will be sending over to the site. Take up this mission with anyone you wish to bring with you, should you accept."

He snaps his fingers, and a maid places a tray onto the table, with a roll of cloth on it. Enrod reaches over to unwrap it, revealing a... stick? Something the size of an ear. "Take this, as a sign of good will."
"What is it?"
"Records called it a [Dragon's Horn]." Asera smiles, "One of many we found on site. History told us that the horns of dragons allowed one to communicate though long distances, or even to talk to spirits."
"However," Enrod interrupts, "We can't figure out how to get them working. Figured you might be able to get it working somehow."
I pick it up with the cloth and feel it. "Thank you." It's cold, smooth, and hard. And inert.
"If you do get it working somehow, please tell us." Asera urges, "I would love to see a working dragons artifact!"

Uhh, we still have no idea how much political power Victoria holds. I mean, these offers are nice but, last time I heard, she wasn't in any way responsible for her people. In fact, being here alone, one would think she was the last person in line for that. So..

Before leaving tell him, "You really are a sly person. You know I hold no responsibility with my people and yet you try and force it onto me. Very well. I'll give you my answer once I've given it enough consideration. And thank you for the artifact. I'm sure I'll be able to accomplish something all your magicians were unable to."

I fiddle about with the artifact, injecting some mana into it, but it doesn't respond.
Asera looks at me expectantly, but I shake my head and place it back onto the tray.
"It doesn't seem like I can do anything with it. Are you sure this isn't some kind of dragon butt plug?"

Asera tilts her head, "Wouldn't those have a wider base?"
while Enrod forms a frown, "Thanks for that, Princess. I'll need to sanitize my hands now."

He wipes if off on his pant leg before standing up, "This is all the time I have for today, I have to get going."
He starts for a handshake, but then lowers his hand and gives a small nod.
"As a warning, The lords are pushing for me to send you a marriage proposal. I can stave them off, but that will not stop them from trying to get you on their side. I can not interfere, but I suggest you watch over your charge. I will send over someone trustworthy as a tutor in a day or so."
I thank him for the warning and the help, standing and returning a bow to both the prince and shrine representative and leave with the artifact in hand.

Considering the size of dragons, it may be that this artifact functions like an earbud for them. Inserting into the proportionally larger ear-hole to have the sound transmitted into their bodies directly.

Ah, you seem to be unfamiliar with traditional marriage.
Let me explain:
The traditional function of marriage has been tying two power bases together via combining their rights of inheritance together in one person. This is why marriage has historically been invalid if one of the partners were to be found sterile or the union was not consummated. As it spread from nobility and other power brokers to the lower classes it was co-opted for the purpose of transferring legal ownership of one of the partners from their parents to the other partner. For both, the concept of a dowry has been compensation for the balance of the value being transferred.

Marriage for love, and marriage among common people at all, are quite new concepts.

It went from a corporate or national merging of assets via compelling agents of each to breed with each other, to a means of transferring familial chattel, to a more formalized equivalent of licking things to mark ownership.

Of course, traditionally adultery was quite normal - people would marry for duty, then romance whatever partners they wanted.

It doesn't matter if she's a lesbian or in love with her horse. Love and desire are no more fitting in this context than a squid in a suit. She can fuck all the women and horses she wants, as long as she produces an heir.

That's one of the reasons why she should court Asera - the relationship itself is utterly irrelevant, but if she marries and the union is recognized as valid then that precludes any other offers.
Also, a formal joining of her ruined kingdom and the shrines would be quite a coup, so nobody could say she was remiss in her duty to the kingdom.

I think you are all assuming far too much. We don't know anything about the political situation, the people involved, or their traditions. There's no really no need to make broad assumptions or build a plan to enter into (or avoid) political marriages.

I'm not sure your chronology is correct.

There are tribe that exchange female members. This is probable done because we instinctively try to avoid incestuous relations and is expostulated to be a precursor to the couples marriage agreement.

I also see no reason to the marriage as an "transference of ownership" (harsh way to put it...) would advent from political marriage. If you think in nomadic families in extreme conditions in which contact with other were rare and accompanied by inherent distrust the offering of possessions could be considered a form of gaining the family trust and demonstrating the capacity to sustain the spouse.
In agrarian civilizations the offspring were the family workforce, so the lost of one member would represent less resources acquired in the future, so following this concept of compensation for the balance of the value being transferred the compensation would be in part for the workforce. No need for nobles to imitate.

Oh, no, it's much older than that, but you're confusing a pair of people living together and spawning children with marriage.

Simple pair bonding goes back into pre-history, but the ritualization and formalization of it started off with "You HAVE to be with this person because we need what they will give us if you do", which resulted in people recording tracking who was with who, and rites and rituals around the event.

Marriage is one of the most romanticized things in history.

This is like arguing whether fries are called fries or chips. It's the same shit, some pretentious guy just decided to give it a name.

The original point here is that the nobles want a political whatever the fuck between Enrod and Victoria, which I don't really get to be honest. Her kingdom is in ruins and the only thing she has to offer is a dragon-blooded bloodline, they wouldn't gain much practical political or military clout. Maybe the bloodline alone is worth it?

"Provisional licence?"
"Ah, yes. As it stands, you do not have enough experience to even reach Rank F. In this case, we provide people with provisional licences, which allows them to accept limited requests that are determined safe."
I take a look at the girl to see if she follows, and she looks at me.
"Um, Basically we can't allow you to be a proper licence until you get more experiences, but a provisional licence allows you to use our facilities so you can improve yourself."
I set the form down on the desk, "So, would you like to apply for the provisional licence?"

You can't lay waste to the hunting grounds or they're going to notice that game got scarce at the exact time they enlisted a 10-year old, or worse, they'll blame it on Red Eyes and you'll really lose all support. At the same time though, there's much potential in consuming biomass from exotic species.

Depopulate the ecosystem at a balanced rate. Hunt down a slew of small game, then a few packs of predators, then one or two rare apexes, then grab multiple samples of plants and fungi and plant them in the backyard, followed by some deep harvesting of randomly selected trees for wood to sell later. If the ecosystem can recover and stabilize, the hunters will chalk up the lower populations to accidentally selecting most of the breeders for this season's hunt.

"Yes please."
"Then please show me your ID bracelet."
She lifts herself up onto the desk and stretch out her arm, and I apply the licence onto her bracelet.
"There. This is your licence." I let go of her bracelet and the licence fades invisible. She pulls her hand back and looks at it.
"As long as you apply mana to it, it'll show rank alongside your normal information." I apply mana to mine, and a band of red shows up, denoting my D rank.
"How do I raise my rank?"
"Well, those under provisional licences would attend a basic course provided by the guild, or have their own trainers if they have any." I skim her paper, "It seems your guardian would be your trainer. You are still free to use the guild facilities, like the library upstairs, the classes, the arena, and so on. You won't be allowed to go on guild missions and requests though.

Once you believe you're ready, come back to us and a guild staff would evaluate your progress and records, and promote you to either F or E depending on how well you do. Getting up to D or C depends on how well you do in combat after that. That is to say, it does not mean that those in rank F and E aren't bad fighters, it could just mean that they haven't passed the evaluation, or have been demoted.

You don't really need to focus on combat or parkour because you're a giant shapeshifting blob monster. You can go almost anywhere with some creative appendages, and eat anything on your way. But the real issue is your natural weaknesses, including heat, floods, electricity, humidity, getting lost, etc.

I head into the kitchen, but the people inside ushered me out. It seems like a busy place, and there was hardly a place for me to observe.
I try to talk to the other people, but I get a similar message of urging me back before it goes dark. They seem hesitant to talk to me, but no one would admit why.
Without anything more to do, I leave the Guild building.

Wern city is a walled city, with it's castle in the center. A river runs straight from the northwest, around the castle, and to the southeast. Roads follow the river, as well as a major road crosses perpendicular to the river. Outside the castle is the inner walls, holding most of the military and research facilities. Outside that, is the High class area, where most of the rich and noble live, as well as holds the city academy. Past that is the middle class area, where the rest of the city live, work and play. Outside that is the lower class area, where livestock and farms are placed, as well as the graveyard. Victoria lives at the Triangle, The guild is at the X, and the shrine is at the circle.

Pop over to the graveyard and then head back. I'd rather not get caught grave robbing, so we'll need to do prep work beforehand like figuring out what sort of pattern the groundskeeper follows, and actually digging up a body takes time, especially if we want to do multiple, and double especially if we want to cover it up, which all adds up to us just scouting it out for now and then returning at a later date in the dead of night when Victoria thinks we're asleep

>we can steal all the mana stones from the dead bodies
You're making two assumptions here.
1. You think the graveyard contains dead bodies.
It's entirely plausible that there are no dead bodies there. Either because the bodies are incinerated, and/or because the graveyard only functions as a record of who perished.
2. You think they bury mana stones together with the bodies.
It's highly unlikely that something as valuable as mana stones would be left together with the dead bodies.

If we need mana stones so much, which I don't think we do as we can't even cast spells, then why not just.. you know, buy them? It would be pretty easy for Emils to earn money.

Assumptions that can be tested by casing the joint. Assessing viability is kind of the whole point of checking something out. (Like if we find a 24 crematorium bustling away, oh well).

Also don't underestimate the willingness of a society to throw away something valuable due to taboo, or by putting the dead's claim to something above the living. (Plenty of societies bury people with their valuables, and less personal ones than mana stones. And organ donation is opt in, not opt out, which might be a closer example since the stones sit inside the body).

Changing forms is easy, as flesh transform from my stockpile of mass.
My clothes does not fit, so I let it sink into my mass, placing it next to the books I've hidden inside of me.
Evading people and climbing the walls are much easier without the daystar, and my ability to sense mana allows me to travel undetected.
Finding the graveyard took most of my time, as I did not know what to look for, just going for the scent of decay.

This form seems well suited for digging, as I dig up the remains what was once a being.
There is residual mana inside of it, much like the ground or rocks around it. I observe it in my hands, finding similarities between this form and these remains. This would help as referential material for changing my form in future, but without [Absorption], I can not fully mimic what this being once was.
Flesh still remains on it, as the smell of rot and decay strongly fills this form's nose.
I try eating it.
[Absorption] can not be triggered.

It only satiates my hunger a bit. Doesn't even adds to my mass.

Eating satiates the hunger, which pleases this one to the core.
The corpse does not have a stone. It is difficult sensing the dead with Mana Presence as they blend in with the ambient mana around them.
I dig up another corpse. It does not have a stone either.
Its mana veins are twisted and interrupted when it's flesh decayed. It does not seem that the dead holds any mana stones.
I consume it too before returning the dirt and marker stone.
Smell and dirt does not stick to this form, as I can 'refresh' the outsides of this form, leaving it clean.

>>802052
Gaining of Mass appears to be tied to Absorption, going by the fact that an time I did gain mass was when I have Absorbed rather than Consumed. Unless I can consume a Mana stone from a living being, I can not draw a full conclusion.

Ohhh. How long does that last?
Also it occurs to me if we want to control Emils' weight but keep her from wanting to eat people so much, we can continue eating things without mana like this. Consumption without Absorption means Emils gets to eat without getting too heavy!

Eat two more corpses, at most. Maybe try to find a rich person's grave? They'd be ones with bigger gravestones.

I feed upon a few more corpses, but the satiation lasts briefly. None of these buried corpses holds items with them.
A quick tests proves that it is indeed possible for forms to merge. Incompatibilities are bridged with slime mass.
Mana stones that have been absorbed have been enriching the cores within me. This form itself holds no mana stones of it's own.

Oh shit I just realized, we need to cover our tracks. Footprints will show a Rabbold came in, messed with a bunch of graves, then vanished and a big ass monster started stomping around. That will indicate a shapeshifter, and although Emils is not detectable in the ways old shapeshifters were detected, it would still cause trouble.

So we gotta decide what tracks to leave behind if any. I'd prefer no tracks at all but that may be difficult for Emils and would take a while. Hmm, it may be best to leave only large tracks behind, but the guards would insist they didn't let any beasts into the city. I guess they'd be forced to conclude it was a very sneaky giant reptile that likes eating corpses for some reason.

Is that really late? Because if it is, then Mama Victoria is gonna be sooo upset at Emils for staying out so late and making her worry about Emils' safety! She might even ground Emils by not training her for a week, which will prevent Emils from getting the necessary training to raise her guild rank!

When you have the opportunity to do so(maybe by sneaking out of your room at night?), go Consume a large animal. Maybe from a farm if you can do so without getting caught. See how well that satiates you. Also find a place to discreetly get rid of some mass. Just enough that you're not likely to break furniture afterwards. It'll give us some breathing room to Absorb something new without having to dump mass immediately afterwards.

Nice meme, bro. Maybe you can try calling people beta next, or cucks, or lowtest, or wusses if you want to get old school. Get some variety in when you're belittling the majority of the suggestion base.

The reason why people are against absorption and for consumption is that Emils is so heavy she's breaking furniture. She is trying to keep hidden, and more mass will only make that more difficult.
Also we didn't know that was a bird.

While we do eventually need to betray the town and get our snack on, now isn't the time for it. The town is still useful to us.

If we want to test out consuming living things, perhaps we can aim smaller if we can't leave town. Maybe we can have 'the monster' eat somebody's pet. If we can leave town, that point becomes moot and we can snack on whatever out in the wilderness.

Once the town outlives its usefulness, they can be with us forever and ever~ :9

However, I don't think we know any matrial arts, and it would be impossible to pin down such a large foe without transforming. I would suggest we simply place our back against a wall to get some good support so that he can't drop us from our feet, and then protect our head.

Iron coating was likely from eating their armor along with them, and/or observing how they used armor to protect themselves.
The level 0 proficiencies were likely from the observing combat itself. The slime is absurdly intelligent. It's able to remember and understand most actions after watching just once, and able to reproduce said actions accurately with very little practice. Just eating people wont teach it nearly as much as normal training. That said, if we really wanted to go the violent monster route, the most effective way of learning combat would be forcing long, drawn out fights.

The exact reason how we learned those skills was never explained. But yes, this is exactly what my assumption is. I feel that it's illogical to be able to learn weapon proficiency skills by absorbing genetic material or manastone (manastone is for boosting body and spell casting). Also, we were left with lvl 0 skills from killing 25 trained rabbold sentries. If it was possible to absorb skills, then those skills would probably be higher level.

Medium Endurance Jogging
We began running, and I started jogging.
Very quickly, the others pass me, running ahead the path. Some keep just ahead of me as I keep a constant pace, while others disappear around corners. None of them are behind me.
Eventually the ones that went ahead begin to lap me, including the large guy from before.
But I keep going at the same pace.

It was in the third lap before I felt the strain on my form as I begin repairing torn muscles and ease the stress on my bones. However it is clear that this form can't go much farther as is, and I slow down and stop in front of Rosh.

"My legs can not take any more of this." I tell him.
He stands there, arms crossed as he looks at me up and down.
Frowning, he says "Kid, You are hardly sweating or even gasping for air. I don't know what you're trying to pull here, but keep going."

Endurance Long - Emils is unable to grow tired. Run as long as you can. Endurance Medium - Keep going until your form breaks down. Endurance Short - Stop after a while. Run - Run as hard as you can. Jog - Run at a normal pace. Walk - Take your time.

Is it possible for you to permit your body to cool itself via its own mechanism (ie sweating) and not reabsorb the mass? Similarly limit or shut off anything you're doing to supply it with additional oxygen besides breathing and the body's lungs.

In Thread 1 the only mention of the number 25 is when Cynthia, the guild receptionist, tells Victor that all the guards in Tunnel 25 went missing. Emils' stats only give a vague message of "Defeat >10 enemies in a single battle." There isn't a specified number, but it's at least 11 or higher.

Ok. Run then.
Medium Long.
Only do minor repairs on your form as you do, repair slower than your form in injured.

Rosh will be satisfied when something inevitably breaks.
>>
No. 803892 ID: 8cb228

Make sure to sweat a bit, pant a bit, gasp a bit, and show the physiological signs of the appropriate stress as you go further.
>>
No. 803895 ID: 48237d

Since this body is a child with no strength reinforces it's no surprise you perform this task worst than trained adults, specially considering how much weigh your tiny legs are caring. Maybe Rosh will understand that.
You can keep going even after something break if that is what he wants, but at some point you should find out if he is going to teach any magic or push you in the hopes you figure on your own.
>>
No. 803897 ID: 6f97db

Hmm. We need a way to prevent this form from falling apart. Once a bone breaks, it isn't repaired instantly. But more importantly, it would be extremely suspicious if a strong child would break its legs with some slow running. Yes, normal people don't break bones from running.

Tell him that you're not tired, but that you're in pain. Ask him if you can get some wraps for your legs. While waiting, see if you can thicken/reinforce the bones in your legs.

Endurance Short - Jog
Basically, go slower when Rosh can't see you, and repair your damage at that time, but go with normal speed when he can see you. Obviously, also breathe harder and harder with every lap, and produce sweat at a constant rate. Is there such a thing as adrenaline in a rabbold body?

If he asks, which he wont, then Emils can point out that running until you're sore and sweaty means you're a beacon for predators and weak when predators catch up to you. Also, that sweating wastes water, and running consumes calories.

In mimicing the actions of panting and sweating, you may find that it actually eases a small amount of the stress you're putting on this form.

Long Endurance Jogging

I continue to jog, using my mass to repair my muscles and joints. Eventually I find a point where my muscles no longer hurt as the muscles and bones around my leg grow thicker.
I look at the others who I pass, copying their haggard breathing and using [Fluid Body] to replicate sweat around their mouths. My fur grows matted as I mimic their exhaustion.

I keep going as the others slow down and I pass them. I soon find myself the only one on the track, stopping back at the end of the track while continuing to breath heavily.

"Congratulations Emils," Rosh grins, "you just completed 19 laps. Everyone else dropped out about half an hour ago. You just beat the record too."

"I- *gasp*" I try to reply, but between the hard breathing, my mouth organ finds it difficult to talk.
My muscles are overheated and aching now that they have time to rest.
I could force myself to stand, but I let my form rest, falling forwards and hitting the floor as my legs give out below me.

Rosh picks me up by the back of my neck, "You guys cool down, I'll bring her inside."

Maybe? But can we trust anybody that much is the question.

Being super smart, super strong, super enduring, fast healing, yadda yadda is all fine and dandy. We could make up stories for days.

But when you tell people that you can have anyone's or anythings face, things change. A shape shifter is the perfect scapegoat. Even if we stayed on our best behavior it would only be a matter of time before someones dog dies and we have a full blown witch hunt to deal with.

If we tell someone and they tell anyone, even by accident, we're screwed.

If we're totally hidden then people will assume the shapeshifter ATE Emils and started impersonating her at some point, which would turn all the trust we built up into hatred.

If we have somebody who knew the truth from early on they can verify Emils identity when the truth gets out.

That is a very good point.

On the other hand, we already sortof told Bea? She could vouch for Emils if we get exposed and people think she's an impostor, since we can go "I told Bea but she thought I was joking" and she can confirm the story.

They would only some that if we were discovered, and only then if we were discovered in a negative light. If emils reveals herself after garnering a reputation no one will think she was eaten. To do so would be unreasonably paranoid under most circumstances.
>>
No. 804650 ID: 600f38

>>804647
That's predicated on Emils choosing when and where the reveal will happen, which runs contrary to our goal of it not being public knowledge.
That means the reveal would be unintentional, which means that by definition it would happen at an inopportune time.

Your plan is entirely abandoning the idea of keeping it secret indefinitely, while getting Bea onboard is a small concession to secrecy in exchange for a great reduction in the potential harm from exposure. It's hedging bets so we're in a good position either way.
