Lift figures the best way to find the other Radiant first is to find someone doing something "strange" in the city, so she goes to the [[Grand Indicium]], the repository for all writings in the city, and demands an investigation. At first the scribes are dismissive of her demands, but Gawx vouches for her via [[spanreed]] and commands them to do what she says. After a long day of fruitless research, an emergency is declared because of the coming [[Everstorm]]. Lift finds Darkness' minions in the Indicium and tries to tail them, but they fly away.

Lift starts her journey back to [[Azir]]. She feels like she will be needed there.
