Anchorae
To/From: Clericus Artem, Clericus Gaen
Gaen, is it possible that GATE has possession of an Anchorae?
Sydyk has reported no such concern, and we have seen no indication of their awareness.
Sydyk is a wretch and a coward. I am convinced that GATE possesses at least knowledge of the Anchorae, and possibly a specimen. I comprehend your doubt, but urge you to review the sources.
You extend hope into certainty, Artem. They cannot have acquired such an artefact. We would detect it.
Our surveillance is imperfect and their own knowledge poorly indexed. I doubt even GATE is sure of the divide between their knowledge, their belief, and their suspicion. Stand in another's place and allow your mind a new conclusion. The Anchoraes' masters would not have overlooked the Prometheans and their ambitions. It stands to reason, therefore, that they are guiding the fools towards their artefacts, does it not?
I recant. You make a sound argument, Artem. There is nothing I would not put past those mountebanks.
