Inquisitrix Turtle is interrupted from her readings in the library by Neekto, who informs her that a child has disappeared, presumably lost in Bosch outside the Sanctuary somehow. She goes to find Melchizedek in the Observation Deck, and there watches a confrontation between the Champion of Order (also known as the Champion of Gears) with the imps … and then goes with him as he meets with some emissaries representing Overlord Nosh'ma. A warrior of Bosch informs them that the child is in their possession, and agrees to let them have the child back … as long as the Aeonian Inquisitor comes to take the child back himself. Turtle states her determination to accompany Melchizedek on this quest, though she's inwardly uncertain of the wisdom of such a decision.
