444 The tenth's name

For a brief moment, both Quinn and Peter froze in place, as they waited for the lights to go out. They were unsure of what had just happened. Even Quinn could only assume the system and the castle itself were all connected somehow.

"What was all of that?" Peter asked.

"I have no idea." Quinn replied.

It seemed like the AI system had no clue either. With Quinn pressuring him with what was going on, the system could only answer a few simple questions that he had.

"This might not be a good thing." The system replied. "I did not expect this. When a leader has relinquished his seat, or has been put into internal sleep, the castle will go off as well. The leader and the castle are linked."

If Quinn really was now the tenth leader, then this would explain the first set of messages Quinn had received before the error messages had appeared.
