As the two men in Celestelle predicted, there was a meeting taking place amongst the cult's highest authorities to discuss their failures.
They'd already spoken about the students and teachers they needed to target. They already decided to search for the hidden figure who brought them all together.
They went on to discuss the actual facts of their failure. Before the next time they acted so openly, they clearly had several holes to patch.
Just like their enemies, they were on the lookout for moles, they needed to restructure, and they had a lot to take care of before they could return to normalcy.
The conversation progressed as smoothly as it could when almost nothing could be recovered from the facility or the array.
As they discussed their plans for the immediate future, a member of the council who'd stepped out of the room came back in with a stern expression on his face.
"We received a message from the envoy for VNGRD."
