but this is a different individual

|
ELWOB VI:
|
The crowd is chattering amoungst itself
|
|
Adam:
|
(should I know what a Xenos is?)
|
|
ELWOB VI:
|
"Xenos" is a catch all phrase for any
non-human
|
|
Adam:
|
(that sounds like a setup for racism.)
|
|
ELWOB VI:
|
What do you do?
|
|

I hear the wishmaster sends a special
representitive tonight!
|

commanding yet comforting voice
|
|
Inspector Goodfellow:

wishmaster
|
|

|
|
|
Xenos:

Ignatius Stendatem:
|
Well isn't that convenient...
|
|

something into her ear

Ignatius Stendatem:

|
|
ELWOB VI:
|

more, but you have no clue what they are saying
|
|
ELWOB VI:
|

|
|
|
Constance Stendatem:

that would get them to turn on us)
|
|
|
Ignatius Stendatem:
|
So is that it for now?
|
|

ELWOB VI:

|
|

Constance Stendatem:

arouse suspicion. We're undercover agents or whatever.)

them into the fort)
