Mom's reaction was as expected.
What the bloody hell were they thinking? I could feel her jerking back her covers, stomping out of bed and to her office, mind splitting as she reached for the Council. Syd, this is a disaster. If the Brotherhood has access to sensitive Steam Union information, they could be at great risk for attack, even now. How much do those kids know?
From what Piers implied, enough.
Mom cursed.
I know. My anger had mostly burned out, hers making me tired. But we can't just leave them there.
Why not, if their foolishness has already given up their people? Her growl of fury turned to a sigh. Damn that boy, she sent. I'm so glad you didn't marry him, Syd. I just couldn't take two of you in my family.
Snort. Thanks, Mom, I sent.
She laughed, breathless, sinking into her chair behind her desk. I'll alert Eva Southway, she sent.
Appreciate it, I sent. As much as I didn't want to tell you, I really wasn't looking forward to that particular conversation.
