A crawler whose team was repeatedly censored by a caprid liaison working with the Skull Empire.
Carl raises Maggie My's case in front of Orren and the meeting's unseen media representative, asking why a liaison was helping her cheat. He says Maggie and Chris kept getting censored, that they identified the culprit as a caprid, and that the creature was obviously working with the Skull Empire.
Orren refuses to explain, saying only that the answer exists, Carl is not permitted to hear it, and the issue has been dealt with. Carl also recalls that Maggie and Frank used a concealment effect similar to the Camouflage spell to hide themselves from other crawlers.
A fellow crawler whose treatment is Carl's evidence that liaisons are not neutral.
