  • [Love Will Have Its Sacrifices opening theme]

  • Do you think we're having a conversation?

  • You might not have liked my mother, but she kept the chaos to a minimum.

  • You idiots killed her, nearly loosed a demigod, and turned this campus into a war zone.

  • Now we have catastrophic damage to repair, and no new money coming in.

  • So I'm going to cut what I need to cut and sell what I need to sell, and if you don't like it,

  • you can head for the hills.

  • Again.

  • Carm, see you at tomorrow's broadcast.

  • Ow- what was that?

  • I think it was some kind of ultrasonic-

  • Can you do that?

  • Mattie's a lot older than me. And she's Chair of the Silas Board- that sort of thing comes with...

  • executive powers.

  • Like we didn't have enough trouble with you.

  • She's gutting the school.

  • Which is probably what the newspaper kids were looking into.

  • What are we going to do?

  • And that was as close to a plan as we got.

  • Between Danny's suggestion that we should stake her, stake her, or- oh, I don't know, stake her-

  • and Carm threatening to decapitate anyone who tried-

  • I'm not letting Broadzilla kill my sister-

  • We kind of hit an impasse. About the only good thing that happened was our

  • moment of cute for the day:

  • Hey! Hey Danny's really into that festival thing, huh?

  • Why are you talking to me, bro-forbrains?

  • Well, why don't you you guys do it on the down-low?

  • I mean, that's what we do when the University cancels our stuff.

  • I could even help.

  • Are you volunteering to help with the Adonis hunt?

  • Danny'd be into that.

  • You know. That is the best idea I've heard all week.

  • So at least one nice thing happened.

  • Meanwhile, we have no idea what Mattie is planning on doing next, or how to stop her.

  • Are you sure it's not just disruptions in his power supply?

  • It's not just his power supply- Hey. Hey J.P., Can you hear me?

  • How are you doing in there?

  • [in a crackled voice] There is- Less. Of my- my- myself.

  • Pieces gone. I- I- I studied Latin.

  • But I can't reeeemember.

  • So many. All dead.

  • What's happening to him?

  • It's the Library. He's still connected to it somehow- and when it vanished-

  • [more crackling] Brutus. Dead. And Genevieve. Dead. Barbara. Dead. They were saints.

  • Can we just save him somewhere? Or! Or turn him off until it's all over?

  • We don't even know if he can survive that.

  • I should have known an AI would be too big for a USB key. And the only place his mind existed

  • without the Library was his body.

  • Which even if we could find, is probably past it's best before date.

  • With the Library gone, who knows how long he'll last?

  • [more crackling and sputtering] My mother- she made meeeee a cake when I left home.

  • With currants. She doesn't have a face. Descending. All descending.

  • We need to figure out how get the Library back and help him, and that means finding Mattie, stat-

  • But...where do we even start?

  • Well, what about the newspaper story on the Board?

  • Um...here!

  • According to their research Mattie and the Board have been trying to sell off huge chunks of the campus

  • to some company ever since the Dean died.

  • Ooo. Legal sales on the public record. Sounds diabolical.

  • But look- at least one of the chunks that they're trying to sell is the Anglerfish-

  • The newspaper was writing about the Board, and they ended up dead. And how else can you

  • explain Mattie recognizing Perry?

  • She must have seen her when she found the murdered students.

  • I mean, it's not a lot but it's our best lead.

  • God, is this how you lackwits decided to hogtie me last semester?

  • Pretty much.

  • You did turn out to be a vampire.

  • How would we even get more proof? It isn't like she's just going to drop by for tea and spill

  • the beans to us about some diabolical scheme.

  • Well... Maybe not to us...
