>>@SGT | TO: @ALL.

I usually reserve these communications for private networks, but it seems necessity has hastened our meeting. For the safety of myself and my family, I would be of no uncertain gratefulness if you would refer to me as Sargent, and little else. Though I am sure, with time, some of you will come up with more colorful nicknames.

Pleasantries aside; welcome, new faces and old, and I must ask this with all seriousness and kindness: What have you done?

Things are moving at the wrong speed. The prognosticators were not expecting to compensate for such a load. Several droids have begun misfiring, our protochron readouts are gaining sentience, a prophet is missing, and the birds are growing increasingly agitated. This is not the series of events your ancestors knew, much less my progeny.

To put it simply: things are not moving apace. I cannot say for sure if this is your influence, or the influence of an outside power, or perhaps both. And yet:

Mary Wollstonecraft, who was not supposed to enter Paris until next month, is already here.

The King's Trial has not even been proposed by the revolutionary government.

Mirabeau sleeps still in a place of honor.

I will put more work into discovering the source of this snarl in history. But you must be warned: every action you have here changes the lives of untold million not yet born. Tread carefully, for as the poets say: you walk upon dreams.

Voluntarily?

You'll forgive me, I don't have a name for you, but I don't recall joining COST. I may not have known what I was getting into when I joined the Night's Watch, but at least I had some idea.

You told her you're a time traveler. We have to hide the organization's capabilities from the ordinary people.
That makes me think you didn't have those capabilities a thousand years ago. How did you get involved?

[That resonates with Jon, which makes him suspicious that it may be intended to.]

What does honour mean to you, and to your people? I don't mean COST — I mean whoever your people were before COST.

There are worse kinds of honour.

Your people, your brigands, how did they feel about your personal honour? A difference of opinion about that kind of thing can cause problems.

But sometimes brigands have a kind of honour of their own. I have a friend, an ally, who was a raider once.
