To achieve this, Rory enlists the help of Amina's shade; Guy Phillips, a human possessing The Abilitya gift enabling him to see and communicate with ethereal beings; and three L.A.D.S Hud, a nine-hundred-year-old archivist with a dry sense of humour and a penchant for correctness; Vig, his cantankerous bi-millennial-aged colleague, and Botan enthusiastic but accident-prone novice; plus CASsandra36411, the trio's surly, know-it-all, four-inch-tall information hologram.
