Gio and the Amber Dodge

[Gunnora Hallakarva]

        OK, Gio.  Your clever ploy worked.  You got clear.  But Meadhbh
asked me for the list of apprentice tortures, er, ah, I mean, projects,
which I am forwarding to her with my complements.  

        We are the Laurel.  Resistance is futile.  You will be assimilated.
