Oh he wouldn't need long to find the dark spot. Soon after pouring into the records about Temba he would find them starting to be deleted out from under him, if they were even there to begin with. He'd find slightly more luck with records of Sh'Ka, though even those would seem sanitized of any reference to the Graq or specifics of the build. It was almost like someone, at some point, worried the Agrii would acquire the knowledge in these files and put some things together.

Meanwhile Enide of course made her own records and fed him back.

"Most commonly," she noted aloud, "one will find that Agrii have a population change approximately every seven or eight years. The eldest pass away at this time, the youngest are born even if they take time to leave the waters. There are rare instances of changes in the gap years, but those are almost always one death and one birth. An evening out of numbers. Changes in population growth seem to coincide with certain algal blooms."
