Character: Vanya Orlov Background: N Recap & Links: Vanya took the initiative to tell both Ellie and Abby about a particularly fraught memory of Ellie's he experienced at Dirthamen, which honestly went better than he'd braced for. He also somehow found himself impersonating a highwayman yet again. In the aftermath of Granitefell, he had severalmoments of connection as the survivors tried to cope with what had happened. In the aftermath, he was also able to extend a moment of grace to a newcomer. He was much, much less successful at talking Wysteria out of her planned lyrium experiments, however.

Character: Julius
Leadership Proof: As previously discussed, a strike this quarter, apologies.
Recap & Links: Early in the summer, Julius circled back to a conversation with Strange he'd been putting off and spearheaded a date night, in addition to his normal Sashamiri and Diplomacy duties. He managed to survive the attack at Granitefell, but god, at what cost? Still, despite his expressed sketpicism, he made it to experiencing the solution. He's been carrying on since but honestly, even weeks out, he feels a bit like a rung bell.
Character: Cosima Niehaus
Background: N
Recap & Links: Cosima represented Riftwatch at the Riftwatch Cultural Exposition, teaming up with Strange to demonstrate the wonders of the microscope to all and sundry (and also stopping by to get cookies). In planning for the expo, she and Strange also discussed potential longer term plans for some hearts and minds initiatives from Research. She then emphatically did not survive Granitefell. She's back now, and mainly throwing herself into work to cope.
