	Managaratha inquires about the Breaker’s plan to corrupt Orange, and frames it in a way of “have you noticed any weirdnesses, or know any of these people who might be acting recklessly?” rather than saying “J’accuse!” He mentions an orcish rainbow mage.

	He knows Federico (who is not an experimentalist). Obviously the person you actually need to talk to is the Lord, but who knows where he is. Why? Because he’s the best Orange mage. Lisidro is not on his list of people of worth. He doesn’t seem to have considered any political effects for him personally about the dagger being stolen and used to kill someone.

	Managaratha tries to chat Mario up about how to find the dagger, and they start thinking about a ritual to find it with Orange and Yellow. He seems to have a “it’s not wild if it’s a ritual” schtick. They start figuring that out, while Scout says “um, do we have several hours to spend on this? I could just find it.”		Managaratha tries to chat Mario up about how to find the dagger, and they start thinking about a ritual to find it with Orange and Yellow.

	Someone comes to get us to talk to the Centurion. She says that she has spoken with Vivian, she confessed to taking the dagger, she seems overly distraught about certain things. Julia thinks she doesn’t have an active miracle or spell on her now, but her decisions could have been influenced in the past. She had certainly been talking to Carol about her concerns, but nothing she said specifically seemed obviously incriminating. But Vivian would likely have recognized that. She had stolen the dagger to potentially use herself over the next few days, depending on how things went. But she’s not currently clear whether those choices were influenced by Carol or not. And she is therefore unresolved about what to do about the fact that Vivian made poor choices. She is currently in agreement that they are poor choices. She is likely still susceptible to making poor choices again, which if Carol is behind it, means she’s still vulnerable. Carol is a powerful enough priest that if she decides to cause problems directly, she can cause problems directly. Given how she’s played it so far, Julia would not expect her to be suddenly more obvious about what’s going on. She must know by now that the dagger has been found, but she has not fled. So it’s hard to move against her politically without more direct evidence. She is likely to be at the party, keep an eye on her, see what she does. Vivian will not be at the party. If Vivian had been going to use the dagger it would have been on Leopold.		Someone comes to get us to talk to the Centurion.

	In the interim time, Nesh researches expeditions to the Homelands. There haven’t been many since the [[Oasis]] got big, two comets ago. The most recent expedition was a fairly public, organized attempt to send people to the Homelands about 2 years ago. It got a fair amount of support from Saurians throughout Orange. 50 people went, no one returned. Six months ago another attempt was made, but with less support and fewer Saurians, and they have also not come back. Details of teleporting there are less common in the Saurian library, but you’d want to leave from Melmane. You could potentially get through the mountains (and therefore out of Yellow) and teleport from there. The problem with that as a plan is that teleporting back from the Homelands is hard, with fewer dice / more suppress / higher difficulties. There are humans there, but there’s not a lot of value seen in going there unless you’re a Saurian.		In the interim time, Nesh researches expeditions to the Homelands.

	[[Managaratha]] wonders about why Pyotr would start engaging in politics now– well, he’s not staying out of politics, his position is one of the more influential outside of the Noble and Merchant houses. He’s on par with the captain of the Paladins of Rush, so he has some influence that makes sense. He is the most prominent saurian in the city. The [[Saurian]]s do not generally speak as a group, but if there was an issue affecting the Saurians, his voice would have weight.
