Artisan Flec

Artisan Flec is an artisan from extramuros who is permitted into the New Library of a Decenarian math to repair a rotted rafter that the avout cannot reach in time before Apert. He arrives with tools and a crew who erect scaffolding beneath the damaged beam.

Role and Context

• Admitted to the New Library specifically to address structural repair on a tight timeline before Apert.
• As a supervised visitor, he observes auts such as Provener from the north nave of the Mynster when conditions allow.
• Engages in a conversational interview with Fraa Orolo inside the library while Fraa Erasmas records notes as amanuensis.

Interactions and Actions

• Asks why the avout do not simply “speel in” to learn about extramuros, prompting a discussion about media and the Discipline.
• Uses extramuros terminology for moving‑picture technology (e.g., “speel in,” “speely,” “speelycaptor”) and refers to older formats like “Farspark.” He offers practical suggestions such as providing a down‑converter if needed.
• Requests permission to record the chime of Provener using a handheld speelycaptor; he is told he may do so under supervision and will be shown where to stand by the Ita, in keeping with the Warden Regulant’s rules.
• Seen observing Provener from the north nave, wearing a yellow T‑shirt and carrying a speelycaptor; due to the chancel screens, he cannot see other naves, nor can they see him.
• Indicates that a colleague named Quin will come in his place on a subsequent visit, as he must attend to other technical work extramuros.

Traits and Details

• Practical, direct, and comfortable with technical jargon and devices. He checks a personal device (a “jeejah”) for time and treats the speelycaptor as routine equipment.
• Switches to Fluccish during the exchange and is amused by the avout’s more formal terminology for media.
• Noted in bright, casual extramuros clothing (a yellow T‑shirt) when attending Provener from the north nave.

Current Status

Temporarily present within the Decenarian math to complete repairs in the New Library. Authorized to record Provener from a designated position under supervision. He expects a colleague (Quin) to take over on a future visit.
