Sir Lancelot's Reports

__FORCETOC__
Back to Lancelot-Less.
The following are a list of letters that Lancelot has written, primarily to Deirdre, their partner back in Past Avalon. The occasional non-letter or letter not to Deirdre is included as well.
In addition to that, following Lancelot's joining the Knights of the Round Table, they write official reports on engagements they participated in.
== Season 3 Episode 2: A New Chapter ==
=== Engagement Report: Battle in Sledge's Shadow ===
Battle occurred on April sixth, 2019
An allied force, comprised of members of the Big Team, the League of Heroes, the Equinox, the Knights of the Round Table and RESONANCE were assaulted during a celebratory induction of Sledge into the League by unknown assailants.
Among the combatants from the Big Team were:
* myself, Sir Lancelot of the Knights of the Round Table
* Lady Rhiannon, Winter Knight of the Equinox
* Boreas, Agent of RESONANCE
* Hesperus, Sorcerer
Other notable combatants include Silencer, Sledge, Sirs Galahad and Percival, and Estival the Summer Knight.
A number of non-combatants were also present, including the Fisher King.
The enemy forces were primarily comprised of a legion of shadow-copies of Sledge, controlled by a shadowy sorceress who called herself Umbra. She seems to have had at least one accomplice, an unknown technomancer and demolitions expert. Possibly alien, and probably a shapeshifter.
Silencer seems to know more, but is reluctant to tell.
Umbra seems to have some interest in Hesperus, and magicked him to look like her to bait us into fighting each other. As a result, both assailants got away.
An unknown aggressor took use of the opportunity to torch the Big Team Base, which was lost to flames.
In my estimation, this battle was a defeat. While we managed to protect the majority of the attendees, and fought off the aggressors, they got away without a scratch, while our side endured casualties.
Signed,
Sir Lancelot du Lac

=== Letter to Deirdre, Back Home ===
2019, April 6th
Dear Deirdre,
Through trickery and magic, I found myself fighting my own allies today.
I have been taught not to take these things too harshly, that they will happen nigh inevitably at some point in a Knight's career - between all the sorceries and shapeshifting creatures out there, sooner or later you will be turned against each other. We received training in how to endure these situations, in how not to feel guilt or assign blame, or fall prey to infighting.
We were told it was going to be hard, and that many a Knight has fallen to these tactics. So when the shadowy sorceress I had just stabbed faded, and revealed herself to be the sorcerer Hesperus, illusioned by the sorceress to look like her... I had expected some pang of guilt, some regret at hurting him, some... I don't know. He is an ally, and a friend.
I felt none. Or... perhaps some. But not enough.
After the battle, we returned to our stronghold to find it ablaze and in ruins. With most of the team absent, we tried our best to rescue the remaining occupants from the building. We managed to save Rekken and Cyclone, as well as our various pets, but all hope or reconstruction was lost when I was forced to cut open the last remaining walls to free an unconscious Hesperus.
With the Big Team effectively homeless, the League of Heroes has offered to fund the construction of a new base. I am hesitant. While they seem honorable enough, and count various heroes I trust among their ranks, they are a large group, and I believe the city would lose an asset were the Big Team effectively assimilated into them.
We'll see what everyone decides. I will go with it. I am only here for a time, after all.
I miss you, as always.
Yours forever,
Elle
== Season 3 Episode 7: S.P.E.A.R.HEAD ==
=== Engagement Report: Siege of the Risganjan Meteor ===
Battle occurred on April thirteenth, 2019
The League of Heroes assigned a task force to investigate reports from S.P.E.A.R. about a large meteor headed towards Earth, and determine whether it was a threat. 
I was put in charge by Sir Galahad, who assigned Parrot and Patch to the team and gave me leave to select a fourth. After some deliberation, I decided to add Jaime, a former assassin and expert at stealth and infiltration. That brought the roster to the following:
* myself, Sir Lancelot of the Knights of the Round Table, commander of this mission;
* Princess Alex 'Parrot ' Ramirez, experienced with space, the Host, and various alien races;
* Patch , Sorceress, technical support;
* Jaime , Assassin, stealth and infiltration.
Two senior members of the League accompanied us as support:
*Shafree Forall, a member of the alien race known as the Glamazon ;
*Silencer, detective.
Other assets provided:
*The services of G.A.I.A. , including the use of their spaceship body;
*A magical pin formerly belonging to Lancelot, enchanted to knock out combatants in a certain radius once activated.
Upon arrival at the meteor we discovered it to be a hollow shell containing a city-sized spaceship. G.A.I.A. was overpowered and taken into the larger vessel. Shafree Forall and Silencer were taken captive to ensure our cooperation.
Parley with the Risganjan King revealed the ship to house a force bent on conquering Earth for the Risganjan Empire. We attempted negotiations, but the Risganjan proved hard to convince.
A third force revealed itself on GAIA, where Jaime laid in wait as a trump card:
*Ruenn , a child of Ominus' and former associate of Jaime's;
*A number of assassins in their employ.
We forged a tenuous alliance with Ruenn against the Risganjans, liberating the captives as a result.
The King was beaten in ritual combat, and his crown taken from him. 
Perhaps the Risganjans will give up on their conquest with the defeat of their King. They are a warlike people, however, and it was a grave insult to spare his life after defeating him; they may redouble their efforts due to the insult. 
If this situation repeats itself, I recommend the king not be spared.
Signed,
Sir Lancelot du Lac
==== Assets acquired: ====
* Intelligence on the state of Ominus, and the Host; King Risganjan claimed to have beaten back the Host and taken Ominus prisoner. Judged questionable, as given by an enemy; I recommend investigation.
* Intelligence on the Risganjan Empire and its intentions towards Earth
In addition, given the knowledge that the Risganjans have broken our alliance and seek (or sought) to conquer us, I believe there are sufficient grounds to suspect the unknown shapeshifter from the Battle in Sledge's Shadow to be Risganjan. 
==== Allied Casualties: ====
* Lancelot's pin was used. As of writing, I am unaware whether the magic in it is spent; I have returned it to the care of Sir Galahad.
* The assassin Jaime took minor injuries as a result of overexertion. 
==== Enemy Casualties: ====
* King Risganjan was defeated and dethroned.
* A number of assassins in Ruenn's employ were captured.
==== Civilian Casualties: ====
* None
Battle Outcome: Victory
=== Letter to Riodeam ===
2019, April 13th
Father,
I'm writing to ask for your advice.
As a Knight, I have been trained to fight using swords, halberds, axes, bows; I have been taught to calculate the angle needed to rain trebuchet fire onto a besieged castle, and how to trample footsoldiers on a charging horse. All of these things can and should be used to pursue noble goals, of course, but the means... they are meant to kill. I was taught to kill.
I have never thought about this too much. There are times when it is necessary, and a significant portion of our training was devoted to knowing how and when not to, to be aware of the edge of the blade and keep it pointed away from those you don't intend to hurt.
Today, I found myself in a position to take a man's life, and I did not.
That's not a problem. The problem is that I believe I should have. That in sparing the man's life, I inflicted an insult far worse upon him and his kin than his death would have been. The problem is that I knew this at the time, and I still decided to spare his life.
Things are different on Earth. In many ways, their society is more advanced than ours (though in others, not so much), and their philosophies on life and morality are different as well. 
They frown on violence, or at least claim to - I will admit to some confusion, as their society is filled with it nonetheless - and killing most of all. It has affected me, and in that moment, with my sword to his throat, I felt shame. I did not want to disappoint them. 
I regretted it the moment I sheathed my blade, though, and I have been losing sleep over it.
Should I have spared him? Would things have gone as well if I have? Would my friends, my loved ones, still have been able to look me in the eyes? Should I adapt to this society, or stick to the rules I was taught?
I'm asking you, father, because I know you will tell me the truth. You will not lie and tell me I made the right decision if I haven't.
I remain your dutiful daughter,
Lancelot Innocentia Althalos Ruothilde du Lac

=== Duel Report: Sir Lancelot versus Gwendolyn du Lac ===
Duel occurred on April twenteeth, 2019
Duel type: Challenge, issued by Gwendolyn over a dispute involving an insult to Queen Guinevere's honour.
Terms, as set by the challenged Sir Lancelot, are as follows:
The duel will be fought on foot, using swords and hand-to-hand only, on the same day, using the arena provided by the faire;

After being hailed as victor, sir Lancelot formally forfeited their demands of Gwendolyn.
Duel Outcome: Victory goes to Sir Lancelot
== Time Passes ==
I like this place.
It's halfway between Shady Glen and Alex's house, so I come by when I come home from visiting her. It's usually not very busy when I get here, and they don't mind pets, so I can bring the catblobs if I want.
When I'm here, I'm just another teenage girl having a coffee. I'm incognito.
Or, well, as incognito as you can be as a 190-centimeter tall magical fairy knight. But if they know who I am, they don't say anything.
I appreciate that. Unlike some of my teammates I never had the luxury of a secret identity. I don't usually mind that, since it can be quite a hassle to maintain two lives, but sometimes it's nice to just be normal for a while.
Maybe I'm not the only person who does this kind of thing. Maybe the man in the corner puts on spandex at night and fights robots on the rooftops. Maybe the woman next to him transforms into a tiger and spews fire at robbers.
Probably not.
That's another difference between Halcyon and Avalon. Back home, you could look at someone and know more or less everything about them.
You could look at someone's clothes and demeanor and tell a noble from a merchant from a peasant, and know the broad lines of how their lives would go. 
Though maybe it helps that the places are small enough most people know each other.
In Halcyon it's not so simple. Anyone could be anything, and nearly everyone is a stranger. Public spaces are oddly distant, people speaking only to those they arrived with. There can be a pervasive sense of loneliness even when surrounded by souls.
But even in this enormous city, there are places that remind me of home. Not in a literal sense, not like that faire last week, but more in... the atmosphere. Something about this cafe - the bare brick walls, the shelves full of bottles and foodstuffs, the slow trickle of customers as they finish their workday, all greeting each other warmly... It's out of the way, and most of the customers are regulars.
It reminds me of the taverns we used to frequent back home after practice as squires. Lamarack trying to drink everyone under the table - losing to me, of course - Galahad's grumpy insistence that he wasn't having fun despite his continuing to come with us every week, Percival's quiet friendship, Arthur's -
	they go bad all the time and nothing happens. Like - take Lancelot, he murdered a whole bunch of people and is still out there -
	
The League says he's imprisoned - 	
 	Yeah but where? We don't know, we never saw his trial or anything, we just have to take their word for it! And now they have this - this younger version of him, this GIRL running around doing god knows what and - listen we've all read the stories, right? Why do we think any Lancelot won't turn bad? They're having her work right underneath Godspeed himself for god's sake -
That's unfair! Lancelot may be a bit aggressive, but they've done a lot of good - They're a ward of Cyclone's, they helped with the whole G.R.E.Y. ordeal and -	
 	HELPED? Did you WATCH that video or are you just that goddamn naive? She slaughtered that army of termites as if they were nothing - what are we going to do when that power gets turned against us? Do you honestly think Godspeed will save us when he already has a sword in -
They've helped with the G.R.E.Y. situation and they've publicly disavowed her future self actions. I'm not saying I trust them, I agree there needs to be appropriate oversight in Lancelot's case and others like them, but that what League is for!	
 	It's all propaganda, mark my words. All fucking propaganda. That and the whole media furor around her supposed 'relationship' with Parrot, who of course is the daughter of councilor Ramirez - that's your link to the government, right there! It's ALL linked, it's all intentional, they're preparing us for when - for when Lancelot, the original, comes back and we're not even going to care because we're all going to be swooning over some Parocelle baby pictures or whatever -
Hey, you.Yeah, you, Elf girl.Help me with my homework. 
I'm Jaz. What's your name? 	
 	Lanc - ah. Lottie. It's nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too, Lottie. What do you know about plate tectonics?	
---
Wow, you're terrible at this. I should help you with your homework.	
 	Yes, well, you smell.
Ha ha 	
 	And I'm in remedial classes. I, uh... only started going to school last month.
You don't say. 	
---
I didn't actually need help with my homework, you know. 	
 	I know.
I just didn't want you to break my dad's place. He just installed new countertops last year.	
 	I know. 
...Thank you.
Pfft. 	
 	
So do you want to hang out again sometime? 	
 	I'd like that, Jaz.
== Season 3 Episode 19: The Root Of The Problem ==
=== Parley Report: Zodiac City vs. the Kingdom of Montreal ===
Negotiations occurred on April twenty-eighth, 2019
Negotiations between the Virtuous Zodiac of Zodiac City and prince Narsus of the Kingdom of Old Montreal commenced on the eve of April 28th. The goal of the negotiations was to find a solution to the ongoing crisis involving the Zodiac Tree, which the delegates from Montreal claim is destroying their city.
The delegation from Montreal consisted of Prince Narsus as well as an escort from the League of Heroes and Big Team, as well as a member of the Zodiac: 
* Sir Galahad, representative of the League of Heroes;
* Lady Rhiannon fab Llyr, also known as The Morrigan, present due to her significant role in the establishment of Zodiac City in its present state;
* Sir Lancelot of the Big Team (Myself), security;
* Rekken, diplomat;
* Miss Matter of the Big Team, diplomat;
* Dog of the Virtuous Zodiac, security chief of Zodiac City.
A day of festivities was planned around the occasion, with prince Narsus shown the wonders of the city. He purchased a number of musical instruments, paid for by Miss Matter (for a total of 70 dollars, recommend reimbursement as official League operational costs). Interactions between the delegations and the people of Zodiac City were amicable, as well as the initial meeting between the prince and Monkey of the Zodiac, and may have done much to smooth relations if it were not for the Forum.
The Forum itself was an unmitigated disaster. Despite our offers of assistance and involvement in the planning of the event, the Zodiac decided to keep secret from us the surprise attendance of Prince Tidus of the Kingdom of Montreal, leader of the faction most opposed to working with, rather than against, the Zodiac.
Tidus' presence served to devolve the discussion into chaos and accusations. He presented his demands: 
* Surrender Lady Rhiannon Fab Llyr to his faction to face trial in Montreal;
* The movement of the entirety of Zodiac City's population;  
* The complete uprooting and destruction of the Zodiac City tree. 
Though Prince Narsus remains committed to solving this in a peaceful manner, the faction represented by Prince Tidus is more hostile than ever. He gave us an ultimatum of one month in which to comply with his demands or face invasion.
I believe the Zodiac to be most at fault of the results of this forum. Despite our attempts at assisting them to resolve this peacefully, their actions are representative of either a gross misjudgment of the situation and nature of the Princes, or of outright self-sabotage. I believe a faction within the Zodiac wishes for there to be war.
Despite this, I do not recommend the surrender of Lady Rhiannon fab Llyr. Though Halcyon City may be weakened by its recent ordeals, I believe our defenses can be shored up in time to withstand an extended siege, and a review of the maps shows few methods for them to affect our supply lines.
If it comes down to war, I believe we can win.
Signed,
Sir Lancelot du Lac
Outcome: War Imminent 
=== Letter to Galahad ===
2019, April 28th
Hey Gal,
When you grow up, would you mind not turning into a giant dunce? Just an absolute cumberwold? A slobbering dalcop? Just a whole dorbel and a half? I'd appreciate it.
I'm not saying that you're not kind of a fool already, but you aren't so bad, really. Honestly as long as I plug my nose around you we can have a grand time together. But my lord your adult self is infuriating.
How's squire life treating you? Ol' Wyldon still got you running the ramparts every morning? You know you shouldn't have tried to knock him off his horse at the parade, or at least you shouldn't have got caught! Look on the bright side: Everyone'll be jealous of your thighs when you're done with that particular punishment. Just ask Lam.
Being a knight's been pretty great. I get all the fancy stuff and I dine with the local king every night. Nobody hates me or tells me I don't belong, and I am never judged for things I did not do. All the girls swoon over me and the guys too. I'm dating a robot, not that you know what that is. Also a princess.
Hey, some of those things are true, maybe.
I miss you, my friend.
I'll kick your ass at the next tournament and you know it,
Elle

=== Duel Report: Seth versus Prince Narsus ===
Duel occurred on May third, 2019
Duel type: Challenge, issued by Prince Narsus.
The challenged Seth allowed the challenger, Prince Narsus, to dictate the terms of the engagement, which are as follows:
The duel will be fought on foot, on the same day, using the League of Heroes' Danger Room;
The use of powers and weapons will be allowed;
The duel will be officiated by the signee, Sir Lancelot du Lac of the Knights of the Round Table;
The duel will last until either challenged or challenger achieves two victories;
Bouts last until either combatant is swept off their feet.
If the challenger wins, Seth agrees to never again mention the challenger, Prince Narsus, or the Lady Rhiannon fab Llyr.
Prince Narsus formally forfeited his right to demand his terms up front. As a result, the challenged Seth may dictate their terms upon victory.
The duel lasted for three bouts, witnessed by myself as well as Rekken and Entantress of the Big Team and Godspeed of the League of Heroes. 
Round one was awarded to Prince Narsus after a flash victory, Seth being caught off guard.
Round two was awarded to Seth, as Prince Narsus met them head-on and lost. Significant collateral damage to the arena reported.
Round three was awarded to Seth. The judge and signee was unable to witness the moment of defeat in question, as the explosive use of ice magic froze them as well. No points were deducted. According to witnesses, the same attack knocked the challenger to the ground.
After being hailed as victor, Seth demanded that the challenger hear his arguments regarding the resolution of the Zodiac City-Montreal City conflict. Prince Narsus agreed, and vowed to try his best to find a peaceful solution for both peoples.
Duel Outcome: Victory goes to Seth of the Big Team
=== Letter to Arthur ===
2019, May 3rd
Hey Art,
I know it's a core part of your personality at this point, but you don't have to take on the world all by yourself.
I can't tell you why
Whatever you do, just don't
Let me handle the dragons
Ugh,
Look. You're a Knight, or you will be, and we went through training together: we both know being a knight is all about self sacrifice and the defense of the greater good. And on top of that you're a Prince, and... that does too. Your entire life has been about training you to live your life for others.
You handle it well, and you joke about it, but... 
It isn't everything you have to be, Arthur. Your life isn't going to end when you become King. You don't have to only live for others. 
It's okay to be selfish now and then.
You're a great person. But you're still a person! You don't need to take on everything yourself. You can take time off. You are allowed to have hobbies and other things. And you're still allowed to have friends.
I admit I've been worried about that. That our friendship is going to change, or even end. Having come here, I'm more scared than ever. I don't want it to be changed, whether through your station or... other things. 
I hope we can stay friends. All of us. The squires, Guinevere, Deirdre. I know all of our parents grew apart, but we don't have to. 
We don't have to follow in their footsteps. That's what I learned here.
I hope.
I miss you, my friend.
Don't get crowned until I'm back,

=== Scout Report: Camelot Park ===
Patrol completed on May twelfth, 2019
Sir Galahad requested the assistance of several members of the Big Team in a routine patrol around Camelot Park, a wooded area within the bounds of Halcyon City.
Forces supplied by the Big Team for this patrol included:
* myself, Sir Lancelot of the Knights of the Round Table
* Sir Gwendolyn du Lac;
* Entantress, dryad;
* Tachyon, a 'speedster', which appears to be a type of warrior focused on the pursuit of extreme speed at the cost of strength, skill, and strategy.
My official recommendation is for Tachyon not to be included in future sorties without dedicated oversight. He has demonstrated a strong link to the villain Snapshot, and has not proven himself to be trustworthy. Beyond that, his presence in the field was a major distraction and I would not have been surprised if it had caused threats to pass our notice. While I understand the need to monitor possible future threats, I do not believe including them in sensitive operations is the best approach.
Camelot Park is a significant patch of nature within the stone confines of the city. It appears to have been dedicated to King Arthur after his death at the claws of a dragon there, and that places it within our jurisdiction.
Sir Galahad and I split away from the rest of the force upon arrival, making our way westward along the northern side of the park. Our initial investigations uncovered nothing untoward, and upon reuniting with the rest we found that they had not either. 
They had found Acacio and Rosea, a dryad and treant from Avalon and the protectors of the park. We accepted an invitation to join them in their sanctuary to discuss the ongoing safety of the location. 
Acacio and Rosea reported nothing out of the ordinary beyond the usual drunkards. They did manage to share some insights on the battle at the park four years ago that I had not yet been given. I would like to formally request access to the records of this day.
Signed,
Sir Lancelot du Lac

Hey Sir Dinnie, 
When did you become a knight? I had no idea you wanted to! Is there anything I could do to help you? In the past, I mean - I am happy to be of assistance now as well, but I was wondering...
When I return to my time, is there anything I can do for eight-year old you? I would be happy to teach you some basic swordfighting moves and prepare you for your time as a page. I could save you a lot of time! 
Lady knights haven't been rare in decades, but the atmosphere in the dormitories and training rooms can still be a bit of a boy's club. I could help you deal with that. Past you, I mean. I doubt anyone's going to give you too hard a time looking at the way you are now - you have muscles for days - but you never know. I definitely had a few bullies among the older pages.
I would have liked to have had someone to help me when I started out. Neither of my fathers were knights, so there was very little they could do for me beyond hiring tutors, and they already spent a great deal on etiquette tutors and dresses and debutante balls and possible dowries and all that. I'm sure you can relate.
Either way, I'd like to spend some time with you! You can tell me how things have been in the twenty-one years I missed. Gal and Percy have told me nothing, and I'd rather not have to beat it out of them.
Let me know next time I see you.
P.S. You look great! Your sword is the coldest thing I've seen recently (My girlfriend taught me this is a way to compliment things in Halcyon),

Acacio and Rosea reported nothing out of the ordinary beyond the usual drunkards. They did manage to share some insights on the battle at the park four years ago that I had not yet been given. I would like to formally request access to the records of this day.

Hey Sir Dinnie, 
When did you become a knight? I had no idea you wanted to! Is there anything I could do to help you? In the past, I mean - I am happy to be of assistance now as well, but I was wondering...
When I return to my time, is there anything I can do for eight-year old you? I would be happy to teach you some basic swordfighting moves and prepare you for your time as a page. I could save you a lot of time! 
Lady knights haven't been rare in decades, but the atmosphere in the dormitories and training rooms can still be a bit of a boy's club. I could help you deal with that. Past you, I mean. I doubt anyone's going to give you too hard a time looking at the way you are now - you have muscles for days - but you never know. I definitely had a few bullies among the older pages.
I would have liked to have had someone to help me when I started out. Neither of my fathers were knights, so there was very little they could do for me beyond hiring tutors, and they already spent a great deal on etiquette tutors and dresses and debutante balls and possible dowries and all that. I'm sure you can relate.
Either way, I'd like to spend some time with you! You can tell me how things have been in the twenty-one years I missed. Gal and Percy have told me nothing, and I'd rather not have to beat it out of them.
Let me know next time I see you.
P.S. You look great! Your sword is the coldest thing I've seen recently (My girlfriend taught me this is a way to compliment things in Halcyon),

Battle occured on May twenty-fourth, 2019
Sir Galahad requested the assistance of several members of the Big Team in a routine patrol around Camelot Park, a wooded area within the bounds of Halcyon City.
Forces supplied by the Big Team for this patrol included:
* myself, Sir Lancelot of the Knights of the Round Table
* Sir Gwendolyn du Lac;
* Entantress, dryad;
* Tachyon, a 'speedster', which appears to be a type of warrior focused on the pursuit of extreme speed at the cost of strength, skill, and strategy.
My official recommendation is for Tachyon not to be included in future sorties without dedicated oversight. He has demonstrated a strong link to the villain Snapshot, and has not proven himself to be trustworthy. Beyond that, his presence in the field was a major distraction and I would not have been surprised if it had caused threats to pass our notice. While I understand the need to monitor possible future threats, I do not believe including them in sensitive operations is the best approach.
Camelot Park is a significant patch of nature within the stone confines of the city. It appears to have been dedicated to King Arthur after his death at the claws of a dragon there, and that places it within our jurisdiction.
Sir Galahad and I split away from the rest of the force upon arrival, making our way westward along the northern side of the park. Our initial investigations uncovered nothing untoward, and upon reuniting with the rest we found that they had not either. 
They had found Acacio and Rosea, a dryad and treant from Avalon and the protectors of the park. We accepted an invitation to join them in their sanctuary to discuss the ongoing safety of the location.

== Season 3 Episode 42: Roses have Thornes ==
=== Scout Report: The Rust District ===
Patrol completed on May twenty-fifth, 2019
Adria Flores, the Lavender Orixa, was given information on the whereabouts of The Spirit That Has No Name, their nemesis. Though the source of the information was Thorne, a woman with proven hostility towards the Big Team and Lavender in particular, and was thus not judged trustworthy, the situation was dire enough to warrant investigation.
The Spirit was apparently released - though Thorne claimed no credit, she implied it was at least partially her fault - and had been causing a string of murders in Canada.
We decided to investigate with the following forces:
* myself, Sir Lancelot of the Knights of the Round Table
* Parrot, Princess of the Halcyon City Council;
* The Lavender Orixa, 
* Side-step;
As I was still wounded from a previous engagement and was not in a great state for combat, we stopped by the Big Team Base for treatment. The delay was judged necessary compared to the risk of engagement while wounded.
Thanks to GAIA's treatment and Halcyon's advancements in medical technology, I was released within half an hour. During this time, Councilor Ramirez and Joyce Flores approached Cyclone to tell him they had their eye on the situation.
Lavender located the current whereabouts of the Spirit through magical triangulation, and we traveled to the Rust District of northern Halcyon. 
Lavender and I talked to the locals and found out that the spirit had been causing fights throughout the district, and the possessed were usually found dead the day after. This is consistent with prior sightings of the Spirit, such as when we fought it off in Molecyon.
It did not take long for another fight to break out. A large group of civilians - about twenty to twenty-five - brawling and surrounding a single man with white eyes, bleeding from his mouth. Lavender incapacitated the crowd using her spirits, and Side-step captured the possessed.
The spirit spoke to us, taunting us for our inability to stop it, before disappearing.
The possessed man was taken to a physiker following the incident, and will likely make a full recovery. Though we were unable to apprehend the spirit, we are now aware of its presence and can be watched out for.
Signed,
Sir Lancelot du Lac
