"Two things. Well, three actually. First, don't say anything, Elena. I'm coming to the Linthol system with you. Second, thanks for interacting with what I said earlier, Gus. As I'm sure you gathered from inside, that part of the Council is something that they don't really like. But having someone actually speak to me about it was rather good. And third, I was hoping to hear a little more about what you were saying about that… whatever it was. It might not be relevant at all, but as long as there's a chance I think that it's important that we pool our knowledge."
