Flynt waited for everyone available to gather to provide his input on the situation after being properly updated on what has occurred thus far. Flynt initially wanted to use the crystal as bait to lure out the zealots that attacked the lodge and its members, but Raik chimed in to warn him of the unknowns of the situation, possibly being too risky for such an idea.
Ritsu suggested that a false crystal be used as bait to lure them out which sounded more promising than using the genuine one to some of the hunters. One also mentioned that the zealots grew either intimidated or suspicious of one of the lodgers, Lunarin, when they struck a decisive blow in the fight, uttering things such as "could he be the one?" Flynt didn't know what to make of it, but would keep it in mind for another time...
After spit-balling several ideas, Flynt thought it best to tackle the situation from several different angles. He asked Lunarin to fashion a device to mimic the sound the crystal made just before the zealots arrived, and accepted the offer of them transferring some aether to the fake crystal once it was obtained. He gave permission to the Ironharts to do non-invasive research on the crystal whilst keeping an eye on "L" as they did so in an attempt to learn more about her intentions. He also accepted the offer from Alberic for them to scout out the Forelands to see if they had any luck in finding a similar crystal, taking note of Ritsu' warning to be careful of possibly running into the Zealots that could be out there.
All that was left was to find a way to fashion a fake that looked real enough to fool the zealots, the group dispersing after the orders were given.
