The purring of the cat seemed to reach deep into Conley and he found himself wondering again, what Sachin would do if he brought the kitty home. He hadn't felt this relaxed in...well, since before the Alliance took over the Ministry. But at Jane's words, Conley's anxiety threatened to spike. "I'm pretty sure that was the point of the fire," Conley agreed. "The fact that it was an area of the Ministry full of muggle technology was probably just an added bonus for him." As for the presumed murder, she wasn't the only one who assumed that. "I'm sure Upstead has a team tracking Goldwasser down." It was meant to be reassuring, but Conley wasn't sure it was.

Yes, any peacefulness he got from his cat-nap and cat-company was now gone. He listened, sipping his tea. "I've privy to some things about the troubles with the Alliance abroad, but not much out of Germany." Most of his European correspondence had recently been about the dragons that the Alliance members had released from the Welsh reserve. He'd been working with Aurora and Creatures on recovering them. "What exactly have you heard Jane?" Because if it was bothering her, and depending on what it was, then he should probably relay it to Fletcher and have a long conversation with the German Ambassador.

"Yes, well, I'm rather sorry that I do now. You see," and she lowered her voice a little and leaned in slightly toward him, "I had been trying to get a lead on what happened to Bain." She paused a moment, a bit embarrassed at her presumption. "I believe he killed my former colleage, Dr. Nykto. I wanted to stop him when he tried to flee the Ministry, but I was distracted--we all were--by the fire in the Technology Lounge. So I'd been writing to some of my old contacts in Europe. I studied and worked there for a number of years, you know, mostly in Germany. And I've been receiving disturbing news about possible Neo-Alliance activity." The most disturbing news had been the disappearance of Jane's old mentor, Gerda Durkheim. "I assumed you yourself must be aware of some or all of this, of course, but I felt I should mention it."
