Nodding to Corn.
"Any time. And I mean it, you guys too. I`d be happy to help when you need it."
he said, trying to make himself at least somewhat useful.
The `Great rights versus Cabal` discussion was not something Philip cared about. And in any case, they couldn`t really make any decision on that, so he tuned out when they talked about that. But he did take notice of Aurora also demanding digital info also stay in the Circle. This irked him as she joined Chambers in that assertion. He figured if he pretended to give his silent assent without nodding or speaking on that issue, it would be harder to accuse him of lying if he then eventually acted against this by distributing the consilium history on the Aethernet anyway. Not that he was going to, he just felt irked by their Mysterium doctrine and obstinancy.
"A body of law? What laws are you talking about? The standard, orare there specific ones we should be talking about?"
he asked, curious what he actually meant and if there were any specific new laws he wanted passed while they were on the subject. But he did nod when Chambers also agreed to not interfere with another Awakened`s business. But Chambers stating his Hallow location so obviously to everyone present was a bit surprising. Granted he knew of it, but now everyone did. That was quite a departure from what he`d come to expect from Chambers and his rigid adherence to his `protocols`. After all, Corn and Aurora certainly would not reciprocate as they had said in no uncertain terms. And Aurora`s lack of a response about her capabilities was disappointing, but expected as well.
"As for mapping. Yep, grid or section off Sacramento and the sorrounding area and teams of two sounds about right? As for who`ll keep the maps, I`d say either central copy or each Order gets one, like with the Consilium records?"
he asked, before continuing slightly annoyed.
"And if we aren`t using digital things to speed things up or the collection of data, then I guess a central map here is what we`d be left with. Without going into a discussion about freedom of information transfer, that is. Where you know my opinion on."
saying that last part to Chambers and sighing exasperatedly as he did so. He also underlined that he disagreed with Aurora and Chambers on the digital documents part. color=green]After all, the others seemed to have to find a way to make easy things difficult for no reason.[/color] he thought.
"As for the strength of the gauntlet."
he said, turning to face Aurora.
"From what I gather we talked about earlier, I understand you said dealings with ephemeral entities would be inadvisable to say the least. Did I understand that correctly? So as for monitoring the strength of the gauntlet, might be a useful info to have? Don`t really think I can do that with what I`ve got, though. So I`d have to ask how many of you guys could or would help with that part."
he asked, unsure if they would be willing to share, or assist with that endeavour. But he at least expected Aurora could, if she could be convinced to help with that.
