As of 6 February 2009, [[Sarine Elle|Sarine]], who's showing a bit of wear and tear, is the center of action, as she desperately searches for some way to not only keep the [[Ian Samael|I-bomb]] from going off again, but also keep the [[elves]] from making a bad situation worse by weaponizing [[Senilis]].  Her attempts to get the [[Tsuiraku]]an government to quietly put the kibosh on the elven plans didn't come off, to put it mildly, as [[Meji's Grandfather]] and [[General Izayoi]] have reached the conclusion that the only way to meet the threats is to use force.  This didn't sit well with Sarine, and there's a hole punched in a wall somewhere in [[Tsuirakushiti]] to prove it.

As of 3 March 2009, the action is in a state of suspended animation, in more ways than one.  We're between chapters (38 and 39) while Poe does some ''[[omake]]'' until the action resumes, and in the story itself, the intrepid adventurers are in discorporate state, having just [[Warp gate|gated]] out of [[Tsuirakushiti]] bound for who-knows-where.  (Well, [[Sarine Elle|Sarine]] presumably knows, although she hasn't given details.) They achieved this ethereal state with the help of a couple of semi-kidnapped [[portalmage]]s whom Sarine first bagged, then bribed, and also with the help of a diversion created by [[Bani Igaaru|Bani]] to distract [[battlemage]] [[Jiro]]. (Did Jiro and [[Sara Amraphel|Sara]] Do It?  Some things are best left to the imagination.)

Predictably, Sarine is berating herself for possibly starting a war rather than defusing a threat -- she does this a lot -- and is hatching a plan to get herself, [[Meji Hinadori|Meji]], [[Jon Amraphel|Jon]], [[Sara Amraphel|Sara]], and maybe even [[Bani Igaaru]] into a position to keep things from blowing up -- she does this a lot too.  After Meji revealed that Ian had fenced the book on the [[Lorenzel Excavations]] at a Tsuirakushiti bookstore ("[[Arcana Unearthed]]"), Sarine swapped the proprietor an elven [[knowledge crystal]] to get it, and the gang is now trying to get clandestine access to a [[warp gate]], via a ruse involving Sara posing as Bani's country-bumpkin cousin from [[Farrel]].  This probably will not end well.

As of 3 March 2009, the action is in a state of suspended animation, in more ways than one. We're between chapters (38 and 39) while Poe does some omake until the action resumes, and in the story itself, the intrepid adventurers are in discorporate state, having just gated out of Tsuirakushiti bound for who-knows-where. (Well, Sarine presumably knows, although she hasn't given details.) They achieved this ethereal state with the help of a couple of semi-kidnapped portalmages whom Sarine first bagged, then bribed, and also with the help of a diversion created by Bani to distract battlemage Jiro. (Did Jiro and Sara Do It? Some things are best left to the imagination.)

Other areas haven't been heard from in quite a while. Ianilis is out there somewhere, possibly taking Paul's jibe about seeking allies among the trolls more seriously than Paul intended it. Paul and Anita haven't been heard from in a while; they've probably been busy licking their Ian-inflicted wounds (spiritual more than physical), but Anita can't refrain from hatching dastardly plots for long, so they'll be heard from again. And what are the elves up to? We'll find out soon enough, but for now, it's a mystery.
