Private Message to Lucius Malfoy

Your suggestion this morning has borne fruit. After several hours of cross-referencing, my suspicions grew solid enough to put our guest to the question, and there is now no doubt: MacDermott's cooperation this week was planned from the start. He has not been turned, but rather planted so that even in losing, they might win: his task all along was to lure as many of us as possible to negotiate their surrender. At which point they will blow themselves up, and take us with them.

I do not yet have details on the method to be used; the Healer is reviving MacDermott as we speak, though. If you are free, you might wish to join me.
