There is a safe...

Would I or V be able to gain access to the office while disguised as Cyraelian?

Yes, he typically shows up at that office once a week or so.

Vassarious planted those bugs for someone else... If they have the info for monitoring the transmissions, they will supply it, but they did not program the receiver, so I doubt they ever had access to the information on how to connect to the bugs. (Sorry)

indeed. You know someone who has the bugs... but He'll probably charge money.

The "damage control" and case-building against the conspirators is fine, as long as it doesn't interfere with the primary objective, but it seems to me to be a bit like cleaning up the floor before stopping the leak.

Ok, so the one tactic is to alter the plans, knock down the wall, and then rely on the altered plans will get the wall rebuilt properly. The other tactic is to knock down the wall to disable the emperor and then... I'm not sure what the plan is then. Possibly an action afterwords would work... what does V have in mind?

Vassarious doesn't like the idea of taking the risk... They will get in the "booth" and call Corco's people and see if they can come grab a prisoner and hold them more comfortable until we are done with his identity though (if they can borrow Halycone's pen). He'd love the gardens.

The call is taken by a lieutenant of Gurdo. He declines to store the kidnapped priest. "Also, aren't you taking steps to avoid the emperor seeing you? a portal will light things right up! Have you tried your local allies? I know you gave them the other end of this device. Could they hold him?"
