Motif · Book 2, Carl's Doomsday Scenario

Elites

A kind of boss Mordecai sets apart from the six main types — 'There are also others, but those are called elites' — and tells Carl not to worry about yet. On the second floor the Laminak Rev-Up Consultants carry the word in their name.

Progression

Signet (ch. 6), Grimaldi and Apollon (ch. 10), an elephant-headed one leading crawlers into Bitches, a gnoll brained by Lucia Mar (ch. 15). Mordecai's definition (ch. 7): printed, imprinted, nudged, plot-armoured, free to travel between urban floors, and never to be trusted. Carl's amendment: if you aid the narrative, the writers might help you (ch. 7, ch. 11).
