@GM4Him: didn't you have a thread somewhere about the Sussur flower, questioning why it wasn't breaking the stasis field holding the tadpole at bay?
I can't seem to find that thread.
Anyway, I wanted to comment:
Maybe Lenore's research *is* what's holding the tadpole at bay. Maybe the Sussur petal has been used in some way to create a stasis field that's keeping the tadpole from changing you.

Does anyone remember what year Lenore left the tower for the meeting? How long has she been gone?
