Sit on your hands and cool off while I explain the terms of our deal.
First, I am keeping Tara as collateral to make sure Carmichael follows through on his promise
If you fail, Carmichael will still not publish his work, as long as I agree to be his loveslave. If that happens, Tara here will take custody of you.
If you succeed, then his entire study is disproven and my reputation remains intact. As a bonus, we get to keep Tara as our plaything.
