i will find a way to motivate tony in this direction, which ideally might involve lending some combative assistance for people he likes who are also in research. once there, after he stops glassy eyed staring at the big energy ball, he will be drawn to The Math Wall.

and then he's gonna loot the library of interesting things with mhavos and see if they can't get a griffon ride out of there.

i'd enjoy threading out some of the initial dash with whoever else is getting involved because tags full of running and yelling in fancy dress and punching undead with anchor-shard fade blasts, and really anything with anyone else who wants to capitalise on cr/strike up new cr during the midst of chaos.
