  "Speaking of risks, what do you make of Soot's origins now? Even if all Phoebe did was tame a lunar drake from wild and bring him to the IL, that's quite a risk, isn't it? And if any of the rumours are true…"

  "Now come on, Sam, it's past time we laid these rumours to rest. We've all seen with our own eyes the evidence in Norda, to continue to suggest that there's something suspect about Soot's origin is just scurrilous. Feran pushing it because he's upset about Phoebe's move is over the line."

  "But Tenebrae could lay the matter to rest once and for all if they just released Soot's registration documentation."

  "Now, Tony, that's uncalled-for, teams don't do that, as a rule, and ICDA can't require them to."

  "There's no rule against it."

  "True, but it's never been done, and it would be a scandal in its own right."

  "I'm just saying-"

  "Then stop saying it, Tony. If ICDA throw out a tradition that goes right back to the organisation's founding to validate a shameful accusation against Phoebe Tenryuu, all hell will break loose. I know the relationship between Phoebe and her father isn't the best at the moment but even Duke Hyperio wouldn't stand to have his own daughter questioned like that."
