alt_billNo sign of nor message from Corax Mulciber all day, which made work quite strange. Since I knew what was going on and was monitoring the journals, it was a tense day for me, but everyone else was oddly cheerful.
Alice, I'm desperately sorry about Stephen. And for the lost Sherwood fighters--I presume you've spoken with Turner and Davidson? As for the injured, especially Frank...well. I'll hope for the best.
I'm at Doughty Conduit now, retreating there when work was done. (It's quiet, and Jeremy and Ellie are holding down the fort. Jeremy seems to be doing all right, mostly, although he dropped and broke a glass a few minutes ago).
Wanted to report in on my conversation with my MLE contact, who fought at Saltash, too, but came in right before I left to look at some files about the camp. Spoke with her briefly.
Frank was definitely seen, and they're IDing him as the cause of one death, a fairly new Deatheater by the name of Rufus McLaggen. Sirius' 'imposter' has been spotted, too. She said that Corax Mulciber's been injured, badly enough that at least it's doubtful that he'll be back to work tomorrow. Implied it was his own fault, as he was busy, as she put it, 'entertaining himself with a Muggle.' I didn't ask for details, as I'm sure I wouldn't have the stomach for them.
I fished around a bit to see what MLE makes of whatever-it-was-that-Albus-did. They're utterly perplexed, by the sounds of it. She said that she'd give her wand arm to know how the bloody hell whoever they were fighting managed to cast something that looked like Fidelius in the middle of a firefight. Fortunately, so far, no one who has gone into the barrier has made it back out to report to MLE.
I asked her if she'd heard of anything like it before, or if her superiours had. She said wryly that they weren't exactly comparing notes from arcane texts at the time.
She said they're going to have to make it a no-go zone for anyone but MLE if they want to hush it up. And they will WANT to hush it up: ('Don't tell anyone I told you that.') No one will be allowed in once it's secured, except probably Unspeakables, to study it. Then she said in the next breath that the infuriating thing is that it really can't be secured, since 'they can get out, but we can't get in.' Whatever that means.
They were still rounding up Muggles and hoped to turn up another wizard to question, but hadn't succeeded by the time she was sent back. Oh, and Cadmus Mulciber is the lucky one who gets to deliver the news to the Lord Protector. 'Nobody wanted that job.'

I mean, I have to work with Corax Mulciber, too. Or whenever he recovers.
This just seems different.

Date: 2013-11-13 02:26 am (UTC)She may think she's manipulating you into giving her information about your boss, and the information she gives you in trade is always just enough to keep you talking -- I'm not saying you shouldn't talk to her, mind you, because some of the information you've heard from her has been genuinely valuable. I'm just saying -- well. You don't need a lecture from me.
I'm sorry.
