This page was supposed to be scheduled to appear this morning. Sorry - it seems my chimp-like computer skills screwed up again.

I've seen worse computer skills. Meanwhile, that was a lucky break! If she had died the books would have wound up who-knows-where.

I'm of two minds on how Mink handled this. On one hand she was unfamiliar with the effect of what was clearly a still active ward on the book, but just opened it anyway. On the other hand she knows Ms. Lieuwstuttel is a "mundane" and yet was able to resist the ward enough to shut and lock up the book, so I suppose she had good reason for confidence that she could handle it.

From an "in world" pessimistic view, Laura should have had Askur check the book since it was known it was "active" in some way. What if the ward had been MORE effective on a powerful mage than on a mundane? tapping into the greater magic available in a mage's mind. However, there is the "out of world" fact that if Laura were as paranoid as she should be, it would take many times longer for Karno to tell this story, and the pacing would drag horribly. It's like most Sci-Fi space opera stories: in reality you would NEVER send organics down to an unexplored world - not only are there risks to them of the world having some nasty disease, but there is the risk that something as common as E. Coli would be a deadly plague to the people of that world. But if every time we found a new world we had to spend years of work with the MALP to check every possible microbe and how our microbes would affect things, and had to send our people through months of decontamination both after and prior to the mission, the show would never get to the all important task of introducing the scantily clad green woman.
