An arms race in under three minutes, courtesy of Cousin Shuncucker; the Godfathers make an unlikely wager; a criminal mastermind explains her grudge against the Faction, or at least one particular member; Justine gets blooded and learns the rules of the hunt; the minotaur in the library introduces himself; and the Great Houses send in the troops while the bearer of the Grandfather's shadow takes on the world.

6: MR SMITH
Era: Non-specific, sub-historical.
Technology: Irrelevant.
It's now acknowledged that the Great Houses were largely responsible for creating the current shape of history, not simply by interfering in major events (although they may have dabbled) but by engineering the entire framework of history as a single definite structure. What's less well-known is just how easy it is to access that structure's foundations.
Before the War, it was usual for Great House installations to be linked to the Houses' "records library", buried in the framework beneath normal time: though the War made these access-points a liability, many still exist, and encounters with the library's guardian aren't unknown...
