[While this is going on, Edmund gets an IM. M is in a car, still in the indecipherable Asian woman's guise]

Edmund, answer the IM.

Greek or Roman, I need to run more tests on the magicians I have before I can begin to use them for experiments. I'd prefer one that isn't too bright but not an idiot either, idiots are harder to give orders to. Some special skill is preferable, but if this experiment is a success I can easily reprogram them to have the skills I want. No particular sex in mind, though obviously I want a durable subject. And no children of Pluto, Jupiter, or Neptune.

[Well. That doesn't sound terribly hard. Although, a small part of him feels a certain amount of dread and guilt at this request. Edmund, unfortunately, has gotten pretty good at ignoring that part of him.]

When I find someone suitable, how should I contact you?

[Private IM]

[miladym]

Through the rainbows, naturally. I did show you how to do that?

[He almost forgets who he's talking to. Thank the gods he does because he knows it'll only get him into more trouble than he can possibly imagine.]

Yes ma'am. I just wasn't sure if you'd prefer it. Is there a time limit?

We haven't got the wifi set up at the headquarters yet. I can't access my email.

[You know, sometimes you can forget she's absolutely nuts]

The sooner the better. Before Christmas, if you can.

I think I'll find someone by July at the latest.

[M is just...not someone Edmund wishes to cross.]

[miladym]

[Never give her a date, Ed]

You have until the fifteenth of July, then.

[Hey, with this sort of assignment, he's pretty sure he can make the deadline. ...Perhaps a poor word choice.

Edmund nods.]

Is there anything else, ma'am?

[Private IM]

[miladym]

If you hear anything that might be important for us to know, report to Markel.

Will do, ma'am.
