   Summary

   When a mysterious stranger breaks into the Jade Chamber and escapes with seemingly innocuous documents on adepti history, Special Intelligence Agent Yelan teams up with the Divine Damsel of Devastation to uncover a larger conspiracy behind the theft.

   Or, what if we explored the Archon War as an actual war where Rex Lapis wasn't whitewashed into being an uncomplicated little guy, even though he is doing his best to be an uncomplicated little guy in the present day. Also, Shenhe and Yelan kissing will solve Adepti/Human relations I promise.
