Kat has a think and perhaps it is not the best thing to uncover all the false memories of Coy. Instead she looks for the memory of the person who changed Hakker's mind with High Compelling that no doubt the perpetrator tried to bury and seeks to uncover that memory. If she can get Hakker to see that someone changed his mind, then he will realise that his memories of Coy are frauds and that will in some way go to settle his mind.

Those memories are all of Coy coming to meetings and presenting 'evidence' of his lineage and references in the tomes of Deigan family geneology. He laid the compulsion and imperatives on the man and his secretary Humphrey at some time during these meetings. Further memories involve other members of the department also having their minds affected.

Kat tries to undo those memories only. of Coy implanting the memories in peoples minds Hopefully then the man will realise what has happened and the false memories implanted he will realise are not correct.
"I hope that should help you remember." She says aloud. "The person posing as Coy has been a naughty boy. He is not who he created in your mind."

"Before you have finished, I would like to witness what you have witnessed," Eivor says, putting her hand on Kat's. "It will help me build up a mental picture of the man. Will you allow it?"

"Of course Princess." She replies, resisting the urge to say Goddess.
When Eivor touches her, she projects the changes she has witnessed in Hakker's mind into Eivor's.

"Thank you," Eivor says after a few moments concentration. "The quarters were Coy was staying," she asks Hakker, "would they have been cleaned since he left? Or perhaps there is some other place he might have frequented where clues might be found?"

Is Eivor asking the questions before or after Kat has removed the compulsions and imperatives?

After.

#s://i~ibb~co/WPFL9Yq/Humphrey~jpg It takes about half an hour for Kat to cleanse portions of the Minister's mind of Coy's influence. Eivor and Ket get the impression of Coy, blond hair, blue eyes, a friendly and easy-going attitude but they also feel another presence with him: dark, brooding, wrapped in a long midnight blue cloak, face covered by a hood. Other ghostly auras hover about his memories. Eivor can see the strain the work is having on Hakker with him breathing and perspiring heavily. The veins in his neck and temples throb from accelerated heart rate. The ordeal finally ends and his head lolls and he mutters insensibly unable to respond to Eivor's questions. His secretary Humphry takes over. "Take the minister to the couch and lay him down We can only hope that he recovers very soon." he tells his aides. "Lord Coy has a small apartment in the city which he recently purchased but he still spends, er, spent, most of his time in the family estate about a half day's travel through the hills. We have sent messengers to the place but they return with messages from the servants says that the Delambre family is not accepting visitors at his time."

Kat looks down sadly at Hakker. Poor man. He didn't ask for the treatment that Coy meated out on him and she suspected that almost certainly this Coy had done the same thing on the family he had inserted himself into on their family estate. This would inevitably mean that the family would defend their 'son' even though he was really a cuckoo in the nest. She bends down and tenderly touches the Minister's forehead as though she is checking his vital signs, reading his face can form in case they should need it later when visiting the family.
"Coy will have altered their minds too, though after what he did at the God place Amber I am suprised he has not run further than the family estate he has inserted himself into." She comments to Princess Eivor.

Eivor takes out a wooden tile and begins carving, an approximation of Coy's features appearing on the surface.
"I suggest we let the minister recover from his ordeal; in the meantime we should visit the Delambre estate. I have a feeling your skills will be required there too, Princess." Eivor says to Kat. "I don't really care if the estate is receiving visitors or not. They will receive us."
She cleans off the shavings and pockets the tile. "Thank you for your assistance, Humphrey. I would ask that you and the minister stay where you are at least until we come back."

"We can get you to the Delambre lands quickly" Humphrey says.
Soon Eivor and Kat are riding in a carriage through the hills, past farms, orchards, and plantations, the occasional village before the road cuts through a pass above a valley of quaint farms and groves, apple and pear farms. A small town lies at the meeting of the road with to streams and from the hight of the pass the walled and gated Delambre estate sits on a small hill at the opposite end of the vale.
"Will you be stopping in town, misses, or heading straight on to the estate?" the driver asks.

This is much more like the kind of travel that Kat likes. Sitting in a carriage with a team of four pulling them along to their destination, with just the occaisional jolt is so much better than that ship thing. She sits thinking about how they should approach the estate in relative silence whilst the Goddess Eivor is deep in her own thought. Perhaps it would be better doing a more subtle approach to the estate than going in mob handed. Certainly getting to know how long this Coy has been around would be useful, since he could not have possibly edited everyone's minds in the town and perhaps might not have cared if he'd done all the major minds in the estate.
She waits for Eivor to answer, after all as the Goddess she has the ultimate say here.

"Straight to the estate, if you don't mind. Our business is pressing," Eivor replies.

Not surprised that the Goddess chose the direct path. Kat thinks to herself.
