He possesses an artifact from Victorian England, an ornate brass opera mask with a magnifying lens in one eye. Tosh clarifies, it hasn't been stolen; it is currently slated to display in a new exhibit at a local museum, and he is looking to consult Bastion on security precautions. As Tosh explains it, another museum not far from his had been burglarized some days ago, and he worries that the guilty party may prove to be a repeat offender. Despite Bastion's misgivings, he follows Tosh to the museum - figuring he wouldn't have work otherwise - to look over the measures in place.</ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td class='diff-marker'>\u2212</td><td class='diff-deletedline'><div><del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">* </del>[<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">https</del>://<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">www</del>.<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">mediawiki</del>.<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">org</del>/<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">wiki</del>/<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">Special</del>:<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">MyLanguage</del>/<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">Manual</del>:<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">Configuration_settings Configuration settings list]</del></div></td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div>&#160;</div></td></tr>\n<tr><td class='diff-marker'>\u2212</td><td class='diff-deletedline'><div><del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">* [https</del>://<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">www</del>.<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">mediawiki</del>.<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">org</del>/<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">wiki</del>/<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">Special</del>:<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">MyLanguage</del>/<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">Manual</del>:<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">FAQ MediaWiki FAQ]</del></div></td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">The measures, it turns out, are not very good. Bastion immediately points out several extremely obvious problems with the display cases in use - no locking mechanisms at all, no alarms, and the only &quot;guard&quot; on duty at the museum is the perpetually-bored receptionist, [[Viola]]. Tosh suddenly remembers he has another appointment and disappears before Bastion can get a phone number to contact him. Bastion instead takes his complaints to Viola, and begins asking about the museum, who the curator is (it's her, she's run the place for a decade despite hideous debt and a poor reputation), where the guards are (can't afford them), why the security cases aren't very secure (got them from the dumpster behind another museum), and what's the exhibit Tosh is so fired up about (Victorian Oddities, it'd put the museum in the news as &quot;not your average hall of dusty artifacts&quot;). Viola can't answer any questions about Tosh, as he &quot;just showed up one week&quot; and said he had something lined up, but she hasn't had a contact number either. She figures, given his abrasive attitude, that he only brought Bass by to give him a leg to stand on to throw more complaints her way. &quot;He already knew these cases weren't secure?&quot; Bass asks; it turns out it was Tosh that gave the tip that another museum was getting rid of them.</ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td class='diff-marker'>\u2212</td><td class='diff-deletedline'><div>* <del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">[https</del>://<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">lists</del>.<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">wikimedia</del>.<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">org</del>/<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">mailman</del>/<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">listinfo</del>/<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">mediawiki</del>-<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">announce MediaWiki release mailing list]</del></div></td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div>&#160;</div></td></tr>\n<tr><td class='diff-marker'>\u2212</td><td class='diff-deletedline'><div><del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">* [https</del>://<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">www</del>.<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">mediawiki</del>.<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">org</del>/<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">wiki</del>/<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">Special</del>:<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">MyLanguage</del>/<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">Localisation</del>#<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">Translation_resources Localise MediaWiki </del>for your language<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">]</del></div></td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">The questioning essentially over, Bastion figures his client is probably not really much of a client, so he asks Viola if she'd be interested in financing him instead of Tosh, to figure out what his stake is in this. Viola declines, citing her already piling mountain of debt from the museum. Bastion does remember Marcus saying something about the burglary at another museum, though, and seeing that Viola has been reading a newspaper, asks if he can borrow a page to see if there's anything about it in there. It takes a while to find anything; the only mention is a short entry in the Police Blotter column that doesn't name the museum or give an address, but does mention a cross-street. Though Bastion is slightly more interested in the by-line, which mentions the name of an old acquaintance of his.</ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td class='diff-marker'>\u2212</td><td class='diff-deletedline'><div><del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">* [https</del>://<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">www</del>.<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">mediawiki</del>.<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">org</del>/<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">wiki</del>/<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">Special</del>:<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">MyLanguage</del>/<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">Manual</del>:<del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">Combating_spam Learn </del>how to <del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">combat spam </del>on your <del class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">wiki]</del></div></td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div>&#160;</div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">By now, Bastion is slightly hungry, but there's not much he can do about it, lacking any real money.

He's a bit disappointed that Ruby never told him she was back in town, but Ruby - dodging the subject slightly - says she never really had the time or opportunity. Ruby finally asks him what he's been doing, and after Bass similarly dodges the subject, he finally admits he's investigating a private case and just started that morning.

I also owned a modem; again, not the absolute latest, but it would do. I grabbed a computer magazine out of my bathroom, dragged my phone to the desk, and carefully dialed in the number to the most likely-sounding Bulletin Board Service from the list of phone numbers I had gathered. After I placed the phone on the modem cradle, I heard the telltale screeches of data transferring back and forth through the ear and mouth pieces.</ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div>&#160;</div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">The computer screen, meanwhile, greeted me with gusto.</ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">&lt;pre style</ins>=<ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">&quot;white-space: pre-wrap; </ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; </ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">white-space: -pre-wrap; </ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">white-space: -o-pre-wrap; </ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">word-wrap: break-word;&quot;&gt;</ins></div></td></tr>\n<tr><td colspan=\"2\">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td class='diff-addedline'><div><ins class=\"diffchange diffchange-inline\">WELCOME, GUEST - THIS IS STUDENT SERVICES AT PACIFIC SOUTHEAST COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
