Not their MO. Having Clinton smoke an innovator and, so far as we're aware, decent human being would be a pretty radical departure, imho.

Not enough to get him killed, just into trouble.

Ah! Merlin and Nimue fired rockets at the facility! Sure they packed the rockets with oodles TNT and used TF tech to guide their toys precisely, but as far as the Inquisition is concerned only they have rockets. If only they have the rockets, then if the seijin used rockets, then those rockets must have come from Brother Lynkyn.

I believe we have deduced another puzzle, Watson.

Actually, I am out of the office at the moment and replying from my Kindle. Which is a pain in the butt. So I'm afraid that once I get back to home base, I am back to slaving away in the salt mines. :cry:

Then slave away for only as long as you remain productive. Return when you wish entertainment. Whether some of our wilder fancies or erudite comments succeed more is irrelevant, I am sure all of us are equally happy providing either and or both.

I usually use the kindle too. It IS a PITA!

So here's what I glean from the way out of order snippets when I start stitching them together:
- Through some means, the Inquisition learns about Mistress Marzho and arrests her, taking her to the Inquisition prison. Perhaps others too.
- Merlin and Nimue learn of this, and learn that Mistress Marzho is being subjected to The Question at the prison.
- Nimue gets really torqued off and voices her "God's own Rakurai" statement.
- On further reflection, the Inner Circle comes up with what may be a better plan, which is then implemented (Merlin and Nimue probably play some key role, lots of mayhem ensues, the physical building in which the prisoners are being kept remains standing).
- The Inquisition discovers that all their personnel at the facility have been torn apart - beheaded, body parts and gore all over the place - basically hellfire, brimstone, and a whole bunch of "Old Testament" stuff. The term "Troy-Bilt chipper-shredder" comes to mind here. :twisted: The Inquisition, being naturally outgoing, open, and completely honest with the Council of Vicars, tells everyone what has happened (you DO know that I'm shoveling BS with that statement, right?? :roll: ). Of course the rumors leak out, and Brother Lynkyn is dispatched to uncover the real truth. :shock:

I'm dying to find out what Brother Lynkyn discovers, and I'm even more curious to find out what Magwair and Duchairn say or do about it... Why do I have it in my head that there are messages of retribution scrawled on the walls in inquisitor blood... "Repent now... God's own Seijin are coming for YOU!"

hmm hard to say whats going to hapend but its quite hard cover somethink like 2000lb explozion or rocket attack. I think seiing going to do somekind comando attack, silenced weapons and knives, lots of dead guards and no witness.
I think brother Lynkyn wll be the guy who sugest there is a wai how silenced rifle shots so its make him sudenly primary suspect.

“Well, that’s hardly his fault,” Merlin replied, slightly surprised by his own almost defensive tone. “He was designed as a fire control system, and the Navy didn’t want its weapons systems to have too much imagination.”

I think that's a good as guess as any...

Not sure if it will be a Sejin direct attack with swoords and guns though- But if it was it would be a fun read!
