Elliott got back to me and confirmed that Yana, Jameson and Hippolyta left QF with Cadmus and have been around since the start. He also confirmed that Yana is a shapeshifter...not that this is a surprise to any of us.
Thanks to your speaking to Gwydion on my behalf, I'm going to be allowed to transfer my research there and finish my PhD. Since I'm a "special case", if all goes well I can graduate in December.
Thanks again.
I'll also be helping the discord werewolves with some research this summer. Everything's coming up Milhouse, etc.
I've made some magical pea popper keychains that will pop you out of any dangerous situation, just in case. Simply pop the pea and it'll instantly teleport you to this public art piece. It'll also alert anyone else with a keychain to your being in danger. I looked into talismans that were more [...] weapony, but there weren't a lot of options that would work for everyone (eg. a silver charm might help you but would hurt me, etc). Hope this works in the meantime.
Briar and Cinder had a good thought about whether Scantlebury has been acting alone in the disappearances. It may mean nothing, but I pulled a few records from the archives and Jameson Standards, Yana Getgood, and Hippolyta Pottebaum have all been here since the first iteration. At the very least, they must know something.
We shouldn't leave this unfinished business with Dorr too much longer, especially given everything that's going on.
Just to double check, are we in operation act-totally-normal while you all figure out the not-so-sexy dungeon/heroic rescue stuff? I only ask because I have a podcast queued up about sexy dungeon kidnapping...completely coincidental.
Barbie, Elliott and I had a go at the list of numbers Adrian found that belonged to Silvia, the former Head Librarian. They were dewey decimal numbers and led us to a number of booksthat took all night tthat had notes, Silvia's notes on the spying she was doing on Scantlebury.
One of the books had directions to a room she'd hidden with magic, that we've only now able to find given what happened yesterday. There are shelves of snowglobes inside, almost identical to the ones we were given at that first dinner but inside are a number of notably extinct animals...preserved.

And...fuck, we just broke one.
Dear Dr Best,
I have been informed that you are the former Head Librarian at this institution and the current Head of Knowledge. I am the Head Librarian at Quest Fellowship and will be visiting for the next little while. Please do let me know if it would be possible toinspectperuse your facilities. I've read some of your work, and am interested to hear your thoughts and experiences within this iteration of the Society thus far.
Sincerely,
Elliott Woodhouse, BA, MLIS, PhD
Head Librarian
Quest Fellowship
