+Thoughts snap back to coalface. A colossal wall of tedious shit.
 Though still shell-shocked, he has a desk job now as a once promising career ran stale and drifted into dead end — netting compliance — but he quietly bridles at the timidity of his role, the department, and the uneasy peace of the post-crisis world.  His hand still shakes and he has PTSD whenever anyone says “margin”.
+===New crew===
 His CO asks for his report. He follows him into the office and lays it down: unkempt, stuffed with scraps of paper, scrawled notes, faxed sheets.

 CO stops him, irritated and disinterested with his ludicrous theories, and urges Boone to get on with the netting analysis, which needs to be done by Friday, or there will be serious (internal, formalistic, consequences).
-Boone complains that there is so much to do, and it is all so boring, and CO says, the good news is you have a new team member to help you. It is Graeber, who has been moves out of Eagle Squad. He has been put out of harm’s way on the netting detail for the duration of the joint association working group business day convention that is being held in town

+===Learning the ropes===
 Boone is unhappy but has no choice. He starts to train Graeber on netting and assigns him Luxembourg as his first jurisdiction. Very important to get clear, succinct summary.
-Graeber works at the Luxembourg opinion, but cannot make head or tail of it. The schedules, the assumptions, the reference to obscure provisions of Germanic law and the Napoleonic code.
+==[[Netting epiphany postponed]]==
+Graeber works at the Luxembourg opinion, until late in the night. He cannot make head or tail of it. The schedules, the assumptions, the reference to obscure provisions of Germanic law and the Napoleonic code. The defs, the anti defs, the assumptions and the qualifications.
+Dawn is coming up and, delirious, Graeber resolves to pay the Luxembourg lawyer a visit.
+Graeber has made a beeline for an advocaat's office in Av. John F Kennedy in the Belgian Quarter. As Palmer’s bad luck would have it, ''L’Hôtel des Grandes Moules Frites'', the venue for the Business Day Convention, also happens to be in the Belgian quarter, in avenue J F Kennedy.
+===Man overboard===
+Boone’s arrives, looking for Graeber but he is gone. On his desk, an address scratched in the blotter. Leclerc leclerc, avenue J F Kennedy.
-It gets dark, and Graeber resolves to pay the Luxembourg lawyer a visit to ask him.
+Realising the scope for disaster, Boone makes a beeline for the quarter, where eventually following powers of deduction, he finds Graeber, shaking down a poor Belgian netting attorney, bruised and bloody, babbling mindlessly about aleatory contracts (Graeber shouts “YES OR NO, GODDAMMIT”) and the avocat has just launched into a lengthy, sobbing description of what a Belgian corporation is not when Boone arrives, hauls Graeber out and remonstrates with him on the street by the ''Manneken Pis''.
-Boone’s attention is distracted for a moment and Graeber is gone. On his desk, an address
+At just that moment Wickliffe’s silver sedan rolls by, catching Graeber’s attention. Wickliffe tells him to forget it and focus on the netting, but then sees the ''the child from the alpha den'', dressed immaculately and bejeweled, emerge from the sedan in the company of — ''Julian Wickliffe himself''. Both Boone and Graeber say, “there is that kid!”
-Not realising netting is a largely a desk job, Graeber has made a beeline for an advocaat's office in Av. John F Kennedy in the Belgian Quarter. As Palmer’s bad luck would have it, ''L’Hôtel des Grandes Moules Frites'', the venue for the Business Day Convention, also happens to be in the Belgian quarter, in Rue J F Kennedy.
+In his pocket the walkie-talkie screeches Graeber! Boone! If you don’t get back here! [The point of no return to normality]

 She looks nervous, is scanning the room. “I can’t be seen here. Nor can you. It wouldn’t be good for you.” Says she has to leave.
+They are watching you, Mr Boone.
 She presses a card into Boone’s hand.  Barman gives a warning as Boone watched her melt into the crowd. “Careful with that one, sir. She is an agent.” He taps his nose and skies an eyebrow. “Strictly professional, if you know what I mean.” meanwhile Graeber tries unsuccessfully to liberate the Barman and gets thrown out.
+Boone feels the uneasy sensation of Vega and passes out.
