[HQ Ignorance] Scene 122: The Gates of Lei Tabor

[Nicolas Hughes]

Lev,

Apologies for the lack of activity here but I took on a second job and until I can get that work settled down I am desperately short of spare time.

If you can put this on hold or carry on without me great, I hope to have more than the odd minute some time in the future!

Thanks,
Nic
