“You tell us,” Rose shrugged when I’on and Ixion both requested to receive word of the deo’iel’s verdict on the nature of the Nemhimian menace. “We’re demonspawn, inherently incapable of ‘normal’ mortal magic; we can only use our infernal powers. If there is some magic that would let us find you wherever you were and send a message to you, it would have to come from you.”
“As for a harvester roaming the world,” Violet commented, “I can only say that it probably won’t be doing that for long. Although we still wouldn’t be able to destroy one even if we brought every agent of the deo’iel to fight against it, we... The deo’iel takes harvesters very seriously. Our predecessors were completely unprepared and unable to deal with it when the Sineater appeared, but the Order has spent the time since then preparing for the appearance of another one like it. We have means to combat harvesters – to destroy them – but the seventh circle won’t deploy them unless they are absolutely certain that it’s a harvester.
Once they know, however...” she waved her hand in a vague gesture, “the harvester will be annihilated at all costs.”

Listening to the same two men pondering to visit the branch-headquarters in Fokon, Violet could only nod. “We don’t withhold information that concerns everyone; if you ask, you will probably be told.” She paused, thinking. “Also, the Order has entire libraries on dangerous creatures, magics, substances and artifacts, and record everything learn and observe. Information [I]there[/I] is usually unavailable to the public, but... as before, if you find a fourth circle-member or higher and tell them that you have our approval along with our names, they will let you see it.”
“But before you ask,” Rose broke in sternly, “you definitely [I]won’t[/I] be seeing our countermeasure against harvesters; only the sixth and seventh circle are allowed to know about that. The only way you’re going to be seeing [I]that[/I] is by being near the harvester when it’s deployed... Which you probably wouldn’t survive.”
