"The Linguist turns the plaque toward the audience; its lines glisten red. Has the room grown darker? You feel the terrifying thrill of plunging into one of London's darkest alleys alone. Someone screams."

The Impetuous Linguist's research into the poetics of the Correspondence is turning heads: the wrong kind of heads. When the Linguist goes missing, the Prudent Professor beseeches you to search for her. Wrestle with her research, disturb those who would disturb her. Any good translator knows that translation is an art unto itself.
