I believe I have some information that might be of use, or at least to consider.

[The voice is low and very even, having only the barest hint of a conversational cadence.]

My companion, Shuyi, and I managed to locate and capture Miz Poppy. We captured her and two of her Deemer companions, and as we began to take them back to Perdition's Rest, she had some very interesting things to say.

She reaffirmed that there was no way to safely separate a Taraxa from its host without the destruction of the latter. What is more troubling, however, was that she insisted that hers and her compatriots' mission of destruction was something which the TIMELINE.EXE asked of them.

Before we could deliver her back here, one of the other captured Deemers sacrificed himself so that she may escape in the confusion.

It is not my intention to offer this information in order to incite mass confusion or doubt, as it is quite possible she was lying. But I do not think we can completely discount that she might be telling the truth—or that she and her fellows are somehow deluded enough to believe that they are. It is, as I originally said, something to at the very least keep in mind.

They are subject to certain whimsies, it is true...

[the "timeline", the alignment of worlds that allowed them to pluck people up or return them... transfers...]

I would be willing to attempt it, at the very least. I cannot guarantee results, as it is yet untested, but I trust these methods far more than the more... physical persuasion I have seen suggested elsewhere.

[Precisely.]

Unfortunately my temporary laboratory burned down with the brothel, and I have had little time to rebuild... but anywhere with little wind and a flat surface, say ten by ten paces, would do.

Of course.

I await your word.
