Chapter 103: Tempo
“No. Tulland, come up here. To where everyone can see you.” White pointed at another much more visible table near the center back of the room. “We’ll need to ask you questions as this goes on.”
“Ah. Right.” Tulland nodded. “Right now? Because…”
“No, not yet. We were just about to recap what we’ve been able to learn, since coming here. Potter, could you do the honors on that?”
Another man near the front nodded and stood. He was wearing a long, dark-colored robe that didn’t correspond cleanly to any of the classes Tulland knew about. Licht took a seat next to Tulland, responding to his generally confused look by giving up information.
“He’s a battle researcher. Don’t ask me how their class works because I don’t know. But he’s gotten this far and has a bunch of information organizing skills. He’s as good for the speaker role as anyone. Unless, of course, you’d like to do it.”
“No. I think I’m fine.”
Licht snickered. “Didn’t think so. Let’s see what he has to say.”
“Hello, everyone. Welcome. Thank you to everyone who was able to help us mine any hidden information from this safe zone, especially the various classes who were willing to share information gleaned from hidden codes particular to their worlds. It’s my hope that the accumulated wisdom of centuries of The Infinite challengers will help us make greater progress than our forebears.”
“Look at White,” Licht whispered. “He’s interested in how people reacted to that. Anyone who doesn’t want to push their world forward is here for some other reason.”
