It is when a dougal sidhe shows up, wearing the colors of Skyhook, that she is sent to Jessica

As it should be.

"Your excellency, word from Mama Captaz for you, If this is a good time?"

"Of course, come in. Have we met?"

"Just just call me Journeyman Scotti. Spock and I have gotten used to it," She says deadpan, and presents a manila folder, "Mama Captaz said you prefer 'hard copy'. If I may sum up, we've expanded our drone program and started creating under water drones. They're showing promise. "

Jess scans the contents of the folder as she listens... she nods slowly.

"Good." she says, finally "I have the urge to be cautious about that but.... I think on the whole it's best we have them."

Pictures in there, chimeral, bleed waters sighted... Mer in battle, and more than that, chimerical monsters on the bleed water side

"Yes, Lord Tidemarch finds them intrusive, we understand, but given the situation, well, they are useful. Mama Captaz rather enjoys baiting Tidemarch I suspect, but then again she enjoys baiting everyone. Part of her charm"

"One could say."

She nods again, closing the folder "We need the information."

There are more notes, some technical data

"The interesting thing is, the Mer are spying on us. I don't know if they'd call it that, but we've spotted chimerical crabs and seaguls that appear to be under dictum"

A helpless shrug. "Well. Can you blame them?"

"Well, Mama Capataz wants to know what you if you want anything done to them? The chimerical spies that is. We can prepare surface to sea gull missiles if you like"

"No, let's not. That could be seen as aggression and I'm not ready to fight a war on both fronts. We aided one of their childlings; let's build on that."

"Diplomacy is not exaclty Sky hook's bag"

Then she adds "Pardon, your excellency. The hold I'm from tends to be direct in speech"

"No offense taken; I prefer it."

"And, I know. That's why they're creating and innovating and not an embassy."

"Are you new to Renaissance?"

"No, been working here since Skyhook was claimed by Mamam Capataz." SHe says "Spock and I are two of the only sidhe there. Spock's a Gwydion. Obvious not our names, but we're stuck with them and there are worse ones we could have gotten."

"I won't argue with you... but if you'd do me the honor of giving me your name, I'd be happy to use it instead of a nickname. If it suits you for me to do so."

"Fine as is, thank you. Best I stay in the habit" The journeyman assures "Do you have any more requests of Mama Captaz or messages for me to pass on?"

She shakes her head "Not that I can think of, thank you. Can we get you something to eat or drink?"

"Actually yes. Mama Capataz suggested I get a gnosh while here, and skimp a few on our feeding budget back at home. "

A sigh. "She would. Well, come with me, I'll show you to the kitchen." And she does.

"I think she was joking about the 'to go bag' with enough for two. I THINK so." She follows and off they go

"Might want to see what they have available and unclaimed, just in case."

"Yes. I've found working with nockers often means overkill is prefered over under delivery"

"Here we are. Ladies?"

Rosa aand Marie pop up "Oh, Senoria? YOu are hungry? Who is this?"

"This is, um, Journeyman Scotti. And yes, if you would?"

"I mean, before she returns to Skyhook?"

They set the sidhe down

and proceed to make her enough to feed two sidhe

Jess edges out of the kitchen.

OOC AFK a few.

And makes her escape before the boggans can turn on HER, like a pack of cullinary sharks

Cullinatry MERsharks, which begs a question about gastrodiplomacy.

Indeed.. something to consider later unless she wants to dare the kitchen/dining area herself again and risk being forced to have another meal? It's a good thing she patrols so much. Keeps her in better shape

Patrol.... there's an idea. She arms up and heads out.

Almost immediately, she has company.

Thane Coy walks by her side. Healed up, rested, and with his bride working, he makes his way by herside

"Thane Coy." she greets him.

"Jessica." A nod "Still suggestions for going in at least pairs. So I took the liberty"

"Mmm. Let's go have a look around. There hasn't been trouble for a while."

"Some lingering samhain chimera but nothing lethal still left is what i hear"

THey patrol about

(Perception plus alertness)
