Nice to see Piggot being *reasonable,* since she has arguably the most experience with Taylor (and therefore, reason to be *wary* of her) of those present. Tagg's being equally reasonable is a *surprise,* but a welcome one. The MVP here, however, *has* to be Olga Marie. Faced with a political attack, she responds with all the grace and skill expected of an aristocratic magus, heir to a Lordship of the Clock Tower, and shuts it down with no nonsense tolerated - along with a not-so-veiled threat to CUT THAT OUT, *NOW.* Whatever her flaws and frailties, real or perceived, In this moment, she is *every inch* the Director she thinks she *can't* be, and I *applaud* her for it. Thank you, so much, for not just another *very* entertaining chapter, but giving one of my favourite characters the dignity she *deserves.*

You have a positive *genius* for *understatement.*

At least most of the directors are being reasonable; even Tagg had his moments. That display of authority and quiet threat by Marie was very well done. Hmm, an Alter Ego Servant already, and the Morrigan to boot. This will make things interesting.

I'mma be honest, it would be hilarious if this singularity resolved that easy. For once in Taylor's life diplomacy actually worked on Earth Bet of all places at that.
