Wow, Manuel... I was mostly talking about hints in Ashley's remarks in the patreon posts and on the website blurbs about the new comic, and yeah, in the tumblr too. Like Evana said, they were about that lady having a role in the future and us meeting her again. Also, the fact that weird things going in the Lytria shrine are Queen's orders and that science lady was pretty much in Queen's close henchmen group. Also, the cutesy handwriting style has the same vibes as the cute lady gave off, I feel. I hestitated to say tumblr because I haven't read tumbler for about 2 months now – since quarantine started (and me working from home). But I guess those posts would be around ch14 times, so from back when i did read it. If anyone is going to be surprised by how quarantine can affect me reading tumblr – it's a "situation dictating habits" thing. I used to read it from an rss reader that I have permanently open on my work computer, but not at home. And it was also when i've been bored at work. For some reason I actually don't get bored when working from home. Or, I guess, if I do, there are other things to do. Basically, the situation is different. And habits are very defendant on situational triggers. It's weird like that.

Very impressive, Manuel <3 Captain Mira's fighting days are over - she's nearing seventy, haha. The Queen's loyal servant has another idea.

There's also a few hints in the tumblr, I suppose, that her role isn't over. I think those kind of hints are fun, though, so please don't stop just 'cause people pay close attention :)

Letter: "you and I have essentially finished our roles in her plan" Science lady: "I'm someone the queen's willing to risk losing" Science lady: "The young are expendible" Mistress Lori: *is supervising a shrine with the purpose of young ladies being killed in religious rituals* Science lady: *gets excited about mountain ogres* "Buuuut... barring some unlikely discovery [i.e. Miss Quig's wonderful First Earth Construct], first earth's kind of useless. Her queen's forces need more OOMPH-" Lori: "Some of the finest burners and scrystones of the country lie beneath our feet." Another hint might be that the Queen's most loyal servants count fewer and fewer, thus the probability rises that we've met quite a few of her best agents already. Science lady seems loyal, q.e.d.. Still, I never would have guessed that. This has a few interesting corrollaries: Science lady knows about Ruck, and Queenie's deepest plans. Her companion, captain Mira might play a role. Maybe "Her majesty has very few men left she can trust", but certainly there are some competent women she can trust, like hopefully Mira :) I'm betting a gram of first gold on her hassling the intruders camping on the bank. With a bit of luck, she'll get Hetr's head. (Although that honour probably belongs to Emil & Elka)

What were the hints, if you don't mind me asking?

Ashley

Stop paying such close attention, Duke!

You've given pretty thick hints that the author of the letter is the unnamed crescian science lady from 14-090.

There's some things here could use a good ruining. Just sayin.
