Daniel's idea was simple in theory. Since most researchers would choose to close themselves into their facilities to focus on their work, and would only come out when they needed something, Daniel had decided that instead of personally looking for the former envoy, it would have been better to set a trap, in hope that he would come to him. Naturally, Daniel was aware that this method would require some time, but without his system, that was the best approach he could think of.
By following this path Daniel was aware that he would be forced to entertain a lot of other researchers before finally coming face to face with Yaqi, and that was what happened for the following few weeks, but thankfully, those conversations were not pointless.
I apologize for the poor update schedule. I have been struggling with my connection for a week now, and between providers with cose to no personale and restrictions due to the virus (total lockdown/italy), posting has been a real struggle.
I will go back to a more stable schedule as soon as i'll manage to have my connection fixed. Again, my apologies.
