This will be a long trip. I do not want to leave a paper trail by going via major highways. Fortunatly veterinarians, who vaccinate cats, work for cash. I’ve got a burner phone - in fact I have three - now, but one of the ways of tracking a contact is by tracking the communications of the people they know. So I am not going to call people I know before leaving the country.

Two people are standing on a rocky outcrop on the ocean shore. Though normal people might see them, their mind would refuse to understand or remember.

1: The hole is deep enough now.

2: OK, putting it in. And … tested and armed.

1: Refilling.

2: Will they be able to tell the difference

1: From outside – no. After the fact, inside - possibly. Variability is likely to be higher.

2: You have restored the old surface. Remote control validated. We are good to go.

Three nondescript unnoticeable men are meeting are meeting in front of a house. One of them is typing on a laptop.

3: Are you ready to send the message?

2: Yes.

3: I massaged her enough. Send it.

2: Done.

3: Don’t you want to influence the primary target?

1: We have time. That guy is laudably paranoid. He won’t read the reply until he gets abroad.

I am trying out my new conjured mobile home. The mechanism for air exchange does not quite work yet. Something makes the propeller stick. It does not really matter. With the current temperatures I do not need to worry about the chamber cooling down too much.

And I am admiring the shape of A-001. I will put a lot of effort into letting it use conjured guns. I am still not sure whether I should use one or two weapons.
