Open Summer Education courses upcoming at Siren's Pull University (SPU):

German Philosophy & Literature - Tues., Thurs. 12:30 - 2 PM
- A comprehensive course covering the ideas of Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard and the literary works of Goethe, Kafka, and Mann. Lecture style with discussion encouraged.

Early 20th Century Europe - Mon., Wed., Fri. 2 - 2:50 PM
- Study will center most around the World Wars and what led to both of them, as well as their aftermath. Lecture/discussion course. Taught by newcomer professor, George Smiley, who served in WWII.

[As far as anyone will know, Smiley was a soldier, not a spy.]

Questions on these courses can be directed to Professor Smiley at (NV number), and those interested are asked to register at SPU's enrollment office.

[The innocuous announcement is followed several hours later by an anonymous, untraceable text sent only to Newcomer NVs.]

Who do you stand with on this island, and why?

I will be interested in the classes.

[ A pause, and then he makes another message to the anonymous text. ]

I stand in my duty and well-being for others.

[circusmaster]

That's good. There's no need to take it towards a degree, either.

That's admirable. But what is your opinion of well-being?

[returnsmagic]

That is good to know.

[ in response to the anonymous text: ]

Integrity. Safety, for both the body and the mind, for one cannot survive without the other. Opposing the Darkness, both literal and metaphorically.

[circusmaster]

So you stand for good, regardless of how it is obtained?

[returnsmagic]

As I said, integrity is involved in the well-being.
