(MAG039) ARCHIVIST: And to top it all, I still donāt know what happened to Gertrude. Officially, sheās still missing. But Elias is no help [ā¦].
(MAG039) ELIAS: Right. Tell me again, please. SASHA: Youāre kidding. [ā¦] Well, for the record, if we donāt do something now, it wonāt matter either way.
(MAG058) TIM: Look: I tried talking to Elias about it, but it doesnāt seem to do any good!
(MAG062) GERTRUDE: I should really tell Elias about this. MARY: By all means! Heās not exactly big on action, though, is he?
(MAG065) TIM: [ā¦] The actual worst thing is that no one here has my back. With any of it! Elias doesnāt care [ā¦].
(MAG079) TIM: [ā¦] There is something in this place, and itās messing up our heads. It watches us all the time, it stops me quitting, Iām pretty sure it would stop Elias firing Jon even if he decided to actually try running this place for once. [ā¦] Erā¦ Elias is probably still in his office. MARTIN: I thought you said he was a waste of a suit. TIM: Yeah, well heās better than nothing!
(MAG096) ARCHIVIST: [ā¦] A gift from Elias, no doubt. He could have sent this to me any time, filled me in on Breekon and Hope, but no. I had to find it myself, just in time for him to show me he knew all about it. ā¦ Cocky prick.
(MAG096) ARCHIVIST: Ohhhā¦ You thought we were going to, erā¦ yāknow. Kill her. DAISY: ElāElias didnāt say. ARCHIVIST: No, he doesnāt, uhā¦ Heās not big on micromanagement.
(MAG102) ARCHIVIST: A month, Elias. And you did what, nothing? [ā¦] And imagine what might have happened if your rescue had been slower. ELIAS: Sarcasm isnāt going to help, Jon. ARCHIVIST: The only thing here that āisnāt going to helpā is you. [ā¦] Fine. At least we now know youāre of zero practical use here. So aside from sending me other peopleās statements, what can you actually do to help?
(MAG105) XIAOLING: ā¦ How long did you say you have been Archivist? ARCHIVIST: Uhā¦ About two years now. XIAOLING: Well, Elias made a good choice. I did offer him someone, but he thought the language might be too much for him.
(MAG107) ARCHIVIST: What irritates me most is that Elias was clearly aware of this, hence his sending me this. Which seems to serve no other purpose but as a restorative. But as usualā¦ he chose to keep this very useful information to himself.
(MAG108) PETER: Oh. That doesnāt sound like the Elias I know. He killed people himself? [ā¦] Elias Bouchard, getting his hands dirty. Well-well. Must be the End Times.
(MAG117) ARCHIVIST: [ā¦] Elias seems pretty insistent I go along. Part of me thinks itās just so we can see if whatever thisā¦ preparation heās been trying to do on me works. And you know what? That sameā¦ petty little part of meā¦ rather hopes it doesnāt; that all this time, all hisā¦ cryptic nudges and ālearn to fly by fallingā attitude ends up being a complete waste of time. Just to show him.
(MAG134) PETER: [ā¦] But I believe I have a plan. However, it requires this place, and it requires someone touched by The Beholding. Elias was, perhaps unsurprisingly, unwilling to help.
->
(MAG138) MARTIN: Great. Great, great. So, what youāre [NERVOUS LAUGHTER] actually saying is that youāre gonna beā¦ no help whatsoever! ELIAS: Just like old times~
