I get it.

Writing a dissertation requires primary sources most students don't have access to,
and what better detailed information than the private archives? You have permission from your professor, who is currently at the American Historical Association conference that takes place next January. He's a very busy man.

Question - how will you prove that you're allowed in?

[anguinous]

I already have a university ID, and I'm French.

I don't need anything else.

[prometheanflame]

True, and you don't need permission for research on deceased people. Still, you'll have to forge a professor's signature just in case.

You're French? Your accent is very good. I studied it in high school, but I've never had the chance to practice.

[anguinous]

Parisian. I'm told this explains my low opinion of American fast food.

I can't say I have any decent forging ability, but I'm relying on being able to talk my way around the situation. I suppose things that look a little more legitimate might help that. Perhaps I can ask someone who works at the university.

[prometheanflame]

I used to be in the history program and keep in touch with a few professors, but it would help if we had a third party to help with this.

[anguinous]

A third party? Of what sort?

[ Laurent is idly amused by how complicated this is now getting, he'd genuinely just planned to dress up and walk in. Still, he's not about to refuse help. ]

[If they're going to charm and bluff their way, they have to take every precaution as not to blow their cover.

Besides, it's fun.]

A professor on Retrospec? Someone with access to their office? Someone who can keep other managers busy while you get to work.

[anguinous]

I knew a few professors who have Retrospec, though no history ones.

[prometheanflame]

If they're in the humanities department, they should do just fine.

[anguinous]

They're not, but they might know someone who does. I'll see what I can find out I suppose. It shouldn't be difficult, regardless.
