''Lady Geist and Johann Jr. are in Lady Geist's home. Lady Geist pours Johann Jr. a cup of tea, which he drinks.''
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' So how's it going with Oathkeeper?
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Surprisingly well. You were right... He was very eager to renegotiate the terms.
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' What's he want?
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' For me to make contact with the Patrons.
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' Oma, you're in this mess because you made a deal with a spirit and now you want to go out into The Maelstrom and make a deal with another?
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' I'm not making a deal with The Patrons, I'm just using them as a notary...
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' W-What do you mean?
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Well, as you know, life is brought with life. The Patron is a means to... increase the exchange rate, so to speak.
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' Why not just ask them to banish Oathkeeper?
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Why would I do that?
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' The whole point was to get rid of that thing!
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' No, the point was to save my life! We've already established that you're incapable of repairing the ward, so where does that leave me? Oathkeeper escapes his prison: I die. Oathkeeper is banished from my person: I grow old. Both are unacceptable.
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' You're acting like growing old is a death sentence!
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' It is!.. And it is slow. And painful. You don't understand what it's like to have your body grow frail and decrepit... for your mind to shrivel... to have others stare at you with nothing but pity... No. I will not die a crone. And if I make Oathkeeper happy? I won't have to.
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' I won't be a part of this.
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Don't be stupid. You ''are'' a part of this.
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' Not any more I'm not. If you think I'll help you-
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Darling. You don't have a choice.
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' Go to hell, Oma...
''Johann collapses on the ground.''
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Oathkeeper. How much is he worth?
'''[[Oathkeeper]]:''' My, my. You are full of surprises, Jeanne.

''Lady Geist stands in an alleyway, covered in blood.''
'''[[Oathkeeper]]:''' Ahhh, exquisite, Geist.
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' See? I'm a woman of my word.
'''[[Oathkeeper]]:''' You exaggerate.
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Please, I'm paying you back with interest. How much were they worth?
'''[[Oathkeeper]]:''' Two months.
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' There were three of them!
'''[[Oathkeeper]]:''' Yes, but they were so... pedestrian.
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Ach, at this rate I'll have to kill off half the island to satisfy you.
'''[[Oathkeeper]]:''' What a lovely thought.
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' We need an alternative.
'''[[Oathkeeper]]:''' [sighs]... What do you have in mind?
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' The Maelstrom. With all the spirits, and rituals, and what-not there has to be a way to, uh... improve the exchange rate, or something.
'''[[Oathkeeper]]:''' Seek the blessing of the Patrons.
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' [Scoffs], Okay...
'''[[Oathkeeper]]:''' You want to appease me without a massacre?! Fight on my behalf. Summon the Patron and earn their favor. Do this, and we can be free of each other. I'll find a new host, and you will get to live out your natural life with no strings attached.
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' "No strings." We know how that worked for both of us before.
'''[[Oathkeeper]]:''' A boon from the Patron is more powerful than either of us. It's the only way to ensure we both get what we want.
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Very well.

== 5a - A New Ward ==
<small>Follows from [[The Binding of Oathkeeper/Transcription#4a - Humble Pie|Chapter 4a - Humble Pie]]</small>
McGinnis presents a ward she built to Lady Geist.
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' I was hoping it would be more... subtle.
'''{{PageRef|name=McGinnis}}:''' Subtle isn't going to keep that thing in your arm from breaking free.
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' And how many years will your ward last?
'''{{PageRef|name=McGinnis}}:''' I'll be honest: I don't know. But I'll be dead when it does, so it's kind of not my problem.
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Fair enough.
'''{{PageRef|name=McGinnis}}:''' I did my part, now the rest'll be up to you.
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Great - wait, what do you mean "up to me," just give me the ward and we can be done with this.
'''{{PageRef|name=McGinnis}}:''' Not quite. The ward you currently have is a lock, it hinders Oathkeeper until he figures out how to break it. The ward I built you is more like a battery, it-
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Your technomancer babble is wasted on me.
'''{{PageRef|name=McGinnis}}:''' You know I don't have to give this to you, right?
''...''
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Forgive me.
'''{{PageRef|name=McGinnis}}:''' Like I was saying: I didn't build it to block Oathkeeper, I built it to drip feed it; maximizing every ounce of life and storing the surplus to keep it satisfied and docile. And with the Maelstrom upon us, the amount of mystic energy you'll be able to store in that thing will be obscene. Assuming you're willing to put in the work.
''McGinnis gives Lady Geist the ward.''
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Do you know how long the Maelstrom will last?
'''{{PageRef|name=McGinnis}}:''' No clue. I've seen estimates as low as 20 minutes and as high as 2 hours, so you better get the most use out of your time... Are you up to it?
''Lady Geist puts on the new ward.''
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Oh McGinnis, don't worry. Tonight is going to be unforgettable.
== 5b - The Binding of Two ==
<small>Follows from [[The Binding of Oathkeeper/Transcription#4b - Revelation|Chapter 4b - Revelation]]</small>
''Abrams and Lady Geist succeed in summoning the Patron.''
'''{{PageRef|name=Amber Hand}}:''' Lady Geist, Detective Abrams. Through your will, I am here... What would you ask of your patron?
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' Knowledge. What is the connection between the tome I carry and the spirit in Lady Geist's arm?
'''{{PageRef|name=Amber Hand}}:''' Long ago, the Tome was used to conjure Oathkeeper.
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' And how do we go about-
'''{{PageRef|name=Amber Hand}}:''' Detective. You already received your boon.
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' You didn't give me knowledge, you gave me a sentence!
'''{{PageRef|name=Amber Hand}}:''' When asking a question, it pays to be thorough.
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' I don't believe this...
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' You think I do? Don't mess this up, Geist.
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' With the bar you set, it would be fairly impressive to do worse!
'''{{PageRef|name=Amber Hand}}:''' Lady Geist. I grow impatient.
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Restore the missing pages of the Tome; so that Oathkeeper may be bound to it and not to me.
'''{{PageRef|name=Amber Hand}}:''' Done.
''The Patron vanishes.''
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' What did you do, Geist.
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' What do you mean, "what did I do?"
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' The plan was to destroy the Tome with Oathkeeper inside it!
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' That was before it became very clear that the Patron was not keen on providing multiple steps.
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' I'm still stuck with the Tome!
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Ah, but ''I'm'' not stuck with Oathkeeper.
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' Yes. But the people trying to kill me for the book can still very much find it!
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' And that is certainly a problem for you.
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' And if they release Oathkeeper, who do you think that spirit will be looking for?
...
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' You may have a point.
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' No shit!
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Well then... I think there is an obvious solution.
''Cuts to Lady Geist's home.''
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' Oma, this is a horrible idea.
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' I would think that you'd be happy that the Oathkeeper situation has... evolved.
'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' "Evolved" is a word for it.
''Abrams enters.''
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' The guest room is down the hall.
'''{{PageRef|name=Abrams}}:''' Your bathroom is bigger than my apartment.
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Don't get used to it, it's only temporary.
''Lady Geist places the Tome on a bookshelf.''
'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' But until the Tome is destroyed it would appear our fates will be... intertwined.
