…not sure if the wiki's rules on typos apply to tales, so I'll just note them here.
last line of dialogue: “You're lucky. L.S doesn't accept often accept people so soon. My name is Amanda. I'd like to welcome you to the Serpent's Tooth.”
And a few paragraphs up from that:
It was 45 minutes before they stopped, in a shelf that look like every other (MENDACITY, read the plaque on the side). Meredith knelt down and rapped against the rug three times. She stood, took five steps back, and stopped twice. Then she took four steps to the left and stomped another six times.
I think that word should be "stomped".
Other than those, love the story, heading on to part 3. ;)
