When Fu Tailan drew up the action plan, he split Remy Squad and Jonah's squad into two separate rotations.
One team would enter the Nest on the first of each month, the other on the thirteenth, alternating order every month.
The team going in on the first had free rein — they were to search the entire Nest for any Illusion that might evoke the concept of "time." It didn't need to have any actual temporal function, didn't even need to be particularly valuable. As long as it could make someone think of time, they were to bring it back.
The team going in on the thirteenth, meanwhile, would follow Westley's directions and search for time-related Illusions within the specific zones he had designated.
Remy got incredibly lucky this time. She led her team into the Nest on September first and was back by the third — and not only that, she came back with an Illusion that no one could argue had nothing to do with "time": an alarm clock.
Fu Tailan smiled faintly.
