Aibrae Tikonn was sitting in a courtblock. She wasn't on trial; listening to cases was just one of her hobbies. Alternian courts were exciting places of drama, deceit, and gruesome executions, so they were wonderful haunts for young tealbloods aspiring to the honorable career of legislacerator. 

Aibrae went back to her hive happy. She had been in the splash zone.

The Maid asked, "Wh_t c__ld p_ss_bly k_ll _ g_d?"

There was a pregnant pause, and finally an answer.
