Lady Alyssana Grey

Nothing is illegal unless you are caught.  That was practically the motto of the Institute, an attitude that put Alyssana at odds with them far too often.  Not that she wouldn't skirt rules when needed, but flouting of the law merely for the sake of doing so irritated her.

Lucius's name made her blink in surprise.  He'd been different since Victor's death, certainly, but so egregious a violation was out of character for him.  Then again...he'd changed so much from his former self that Alyssana supposed she really couldn't judge what he might or mightn't do.  Might I have prevented this, if I had been a better friend? she wondered, before brushing the thought aside.  There was no changing what had been done, only dealing with the results.

She'd heard about Mr. Overton's murder.  The news of his ransacked lab bothered her more than she cared to admit, and while Chris had little interest in wing crafting or anything else the man had requested his assistance on, she'd worried the culprit might come after her brother all the same.  Her own wings shifted subtly, the feathers turning sharp edges outward despite her best efforts to keep them smoothed down.

Alysanna listened quietly as people spoke up, giving code names and acknowledgements.  She waited for a lull before taking a step forward, letting the motion draw the attention of the group.  "I was a friend of Mr. Elliot, though we've drifted apart in the time since Mr. Bennet's death.  Perhaps I didn't know him as well as I thought, but this is not something I would ever expect from him.  Yet I must assume thorough investigation has been conducted, and that he is indeed guilty of the experimentation for which he stands accused."  She hesitated.  "Let me add something to the Captain's briefing.  Myalo research and experimentation is outlawed because it requires the death of the power source, generally with a great deal of suffering involved.  There is no humane way to extract it, and even if there were, the added efficiency generated by said torment would not let it be used exclusively for very long.  We must assume that any other perpetrators place a low value on human life, and are thus highly dangerous, moreso than is indicated by a single murder."  She looked in Adrianna's direction and lifted her chin.  "Captain, you have whatever information or assistance I can provide at your disposal."  Alyssana swept the room with an assessing glance, her gaze lingering on Evelyn, who looked like the conversation was entirely beyond her.  "For the rest of you...if you don't know me already, you may address correspondence to 'Raven Spyglass', or simply 'Raven Glass'.  I will do my best to help."
