RE: Sister, Sister.....
Rebecca's hands moved over her lap top and saved her work. Kira's words weighted heavily of her. It was clear by Rebecca's face that those words spoke a truth between them. Rebecca reached down and pulled out a small metal cross from the speaker port of her lap top. The port was fake meant to throw off all but the most knowledgeable computer geeks. Deep inside the computer, were programs and hardware meant for making reports possible without violating the Lex Magica. The Lex Magica is the center of one of Rebecca's core beliefs, taught to her by her Order who upholds the Lex Magica through a marriage in technology and magic. This was why her report was written in Atlantean, but encrypted to keep other orders from learning what the Silver Ladder was doing.
By removing the cross, her report would not be found anywhere on her lap top. Instead it was encrypted once more on the metal cross which in truth was a modified data storage device. Rebecca thought long and hard about what Kira had said. Her eyes fell upon the little cross in her hand as she thought back on what happened during the past few days. Rebecca felt the same level of helplessness when dealing with the creature then later when dealing with Richard. "I think we have a way of protecting ourselves," Rebecca said as she plugged the cross in to her phone and uploaded the report in to her phone. Now the report would be encrypted once more by her phone and set up to transmit back to her Order once the phone had a signal. At this point, Rebecca had no control over what would happen to the report. Once the phone had a signal, it would send the report to the Lone Star Silver Ladder. Even if she wanted to edit the report should couldn't. Only the mages back home could decrypted the report and read it. Rebecca turned to Kira, "well at least against other mages that is."
With her report ready for upload, she closed her lap top as she continued talk to Kira, "I have been reading that book that covers the fundamental properties of magic. There is a way that we can use this understanding to imbue spells on items. I think this is what Mr. Black intends for me to do for him." Rebecca searched Kira over and saw Kira's favorite necklace. It was a symbol of Kira's faith. Something like Rebecca's cross. An item that was always worn and would be easily over looked. "Let me see your pentagram please" Rebecca said motioning for the necklace.
