>>>>>[Unless I am incorrect, the individual known as Mozart is the current
"public" contact for Haven. In this case...

Mozart, my research regarding the Wraith has gone no where. The Astra Quest
continues, but it is difficult to say how it proceeds; I have heard little.

It is imperative that I am allowed access to Haven. The Wraith seems to be
centered roughly around Haven, for unknown reasons. Perhaps a detailed look
inside the grounds and the building itself might provide important clues.

One item of note regarding this. I hope everything will be fine, but I am
paranoid by nature. Given the nature of the Wraith and the circumstances, I
need to be allowed to bring my mage blade with me. No other weapons will be
brought.

Please respond as soon as possible.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Mr. Dark Stranger, as all runners are naturally paranoid, special
arrangements are made for them. You may bring your blade into Haven
itself, but I cannot allow you to carry it with you. It would have to be
left in my office. I am sorry if this seems unreasonable to you, but I
cannot offer you more. If I were to allow weapons to be carried in
Haven, the children who are denied them and are, in fact, forced to leave
them outside in a secure and guarded shed, my integrity and that of Haven
would be compromised in thier eyes. Haven exists for them far more than
me or you, and thier perspectives are far more important than our own.

I can give you a complete guided tour if you like, but I'm afraid that
this restriction cannot be lessened for any reason. I can personally
assure you that you will be in no danger here. I am personally a mage of
some experience. Not the same type of experience as yourself, of course,
but nevertheless I can personally guarantee you no violence will befall
you.]<<<<<

>>>>>[I will be arriving within the next 48 hours to "take the
tour." I
would hope that given the severity of the wraith situation, that I would be
given total physical access. Under your watchful eye, at least, of course.

Perhaps we can strike a compromise. I understand that I cannot carry my
blade myself. Perhaps you, or another "tour guide," might carry it with
them, as I am being accompanied. My paranoia in this case is not the
standard fear common among the shadows; I fear there may be something far
more terrible going on. With this compromise, you, or another, would be in
control of my blade, but I would have rapid access to it should the occassion
arise. Please consider it.]<<<<<

the best I can do.]<<<<<

Dark Stranger finds out, we may have an even greater problem on our hands.
Already my nephew has lost his blood brother and a close friend to Maxim,
but should Dark Stranger attempt to get at Arial...we may have to destroy the
Dark Stranger.]<<<<<

>>>>>[True, we may have to destroy the Dark Stranger. But so long as Arial
is at Haven; she will be protected from his single-mindedness. He considers
the Invae to be a major threat, but as we already know not all of the Invae
are threats. Spider is the most balanced of the Invae. Arial can cause
great harm, or do great good; but we must wait and see for she is but a
child. Already, I am doing something that will allow Haven to be independent
of UCAS laws. But together we are not as great a threat to the Dark Stranger
as is Arial's father.]<<<<<
