   Summary

   Failing to eliminate House Royce and wasting the only powerless Tachonis in a botched ritual is a terrible idea. Primus is more careful than that. No, much better to bring a wayward son home (and to the grave) by other means. Especially when you're missing the soul of a recently executed criminal. Perhaps it is possible to solve one problem with another.

   Or: I smashed the Schemers and Seekers tables together except for Occtis doing mad scientist shit locked in the Tachonis basement.

   (MASSIVE spoilers for the first convergence arc, up to episode 31. Written in real time so some later details may show up but the primary plot is consistent with the state of things as of episode 31)
