History

Mr. Hayle travelled to Lambsbridge Orphanage and had tea in the sitting room with Mrs. Earles. He looked over Gordon, Sylvester, Helen, Jamie, and Lillian as they entered - frowning when he saw the damage to Sylvester. He thanked Mrs. Earles after she left to go make sure they had no eavesdroppers. Mr. Hayle thanked Mrs. Earles again when she returned, telling him that the children were all accounted for and that she would be in the kitchen, before she left.

Mr. Hayle told them that he had planned for a longer meeting, but said that Sylvester might not be able to stand for the duration. He asked them if he was stable and Lillian told him that he was. He started to ask about what happened to Sylvester before changing his mind - asking about their mission instead. Gordon told him that their second target was sleeping off a meal in a warehouse southeast of King, with all of the notes, and that the first target had been swallowed by it. Mr. Hayle asked if there were any complications and, after learning their hadn't been, he moved on to ask what happened to Sylvester.

Sylvester told him that he had been splashed by enzymes before Lillian told him that she had done what she could: neutralizing the spread with counteragents their target had on hand. He nodded and asked her if she would do another assignment with his group. When she said yes, he told her that she would have his continued support at the Academy. Mr. Hayle then said he should take a look at Sylvester before crossing the room to find and put on his boots.
