A transcribed telephone conversation between Ms. M. Lemay and Dr. A. Gramática.
M. LEMAY
Álvaro, it's Melanie.
A. GRAMÁTICA
Of course, hello. I'm glad you caught me, I was about to head into an experiment.
M. LEMAY
Well, I just wanted to give you an update. The list of Sage references I gave you last week... we found a few more leads I want to investigate, and I wanted your opinion.
A. GRAMÁTICA
Great. Shoot.
M. LEMAY
Okay... ah, we checked the Sample 17 lineage like you asked, but didn't find anything promising until we went back to Europe in the 5th century CE. Faint echoes of a bloodline Sage some time around the height of the Hun Empire.
A. GRAMÁTICA
Mmm. It would be difficult to find an intact sample that far back.
M. LEMAY
Yeah, I thought the same. Let's see... Another sample we checked came from a local Montrealer. That sample revealed an ancestor named Arno Dorian from Revolutionary France. Arno wasn't a Sage himself, but initial reports suggest he may have come into contact with one.
A. GRAMÁTICA
Hm. That's promising, but not ideal. I'd rather find a bloodline Sage, not someone who met one. What else?
M. LEMAY
Ah, one more. A singer named David Jones from England, mid 20th century. No further details on this one though.
A. GRAMÁTICA
Better, but the name David Jones... that could be any one of a thousand people.
M. LEMAY
That was my worry, too.
A. GRAMÁTICA
Let's look into the Frenchman... it's possible we could find something.
M. LEMAY
Good. I'll put him on the backburner though. We have other leads I'd like to follow first.
A. GRAMÁTICA
Whatever you think is best.
M. LEMAY
Thanks, Álvaro. I'll keep you posted.
