Summary
Some time after October, Jack and Jill and Malk and Snuff live quietly but determinedly together, and the Count appeals to them for mutual help.
My name is Snuff, and I am a watchdog. With my master, Jack, we have guarded the Way for more than two hundred years, and for half of that time we have been accompanied by Jill and Malk. Jill and Malk are not watchdogs, but they help keep the Way closed. Jill is a friendly and experienced witch. Malk, also called Gray, or Kin, is a cat who is brave and tricksy. I trust her more than any other cats, and more than quite a few non-cats.

Summary
Palamedes and Camilla banter. He has discovered a short-cut in the regulations that could further his academic promotion in the sixth house quickly enough to help him become a warden in time to try to help cure his wasting remote love from the seventh house. But it is really ridiculous. Can the young teens stop laughing long enough to seriously investigate the opportunity?

In order to prevent “frivolous disputations unbefitting the history of our institution” (read: “some kid getting way in over their head, dying, and us getting sued,”) you couldn’t just walk in and demand to fight a snake.

Summary
Dr. Liu,
Got your final report yesterday on Project LV-426. I'm amazed. Great work all around. It's been forwarded to the Chair, our friends at the Pentagon, the Defense Appropriations Committee, and DARPA. The acid-resistant armor is something that should really catch their eye.
We're expecting some big grant money from this.
Burke
Burke,
Did you read even the executive summary of my report? There are some interesting biomaterials that we could work with, but I stressed, multiple times, that this creature is far too dangerous to even consider using in military research projects. It's aggressive, stupid, vicious, aggressive, impossible to train, and did I mention aggressive?
. . .their limbs work on hydraulic principles and operate under pressure, which is why they splurt like a popped water balloon when they get hit in those Marine camera feeds we saw. A slight wound to a limb takes them right the hell out of commission, and now your troops have to deal with an insanely aggressive and stupid xenomorphic K-9 unit that oh by the way IS BLEEDING ACID.
