Since passing her file review and employment test, Harmonie has ceased to make mention of her identity, neither touting herself as a Victorian ducal emissary, nor displaying any ties to Dublinn or the Victorian Army. To the vast majority of operators, she's just a new Victorian Rhodes Island arrival with a brisk step and a rather cultured upbringing. They'll often find her on their rest days attending little dance parties and pressing a glass of bubbly into their hands, or run into her cradling a pile of books at the library to check out one after another, skimming everything from assorted national histories to collections of fashion magazines. Despite effortlessly striking up conversations with others, Harmonie leaves most operators with neither a friendly nor kind impression—in fact, thoughts such as 'is she having fun with me?' or 'she was lying just now, right?' are the instinctive reaction. 'Y'see, there was this new model of control console in a brochure and she was telling me if I was interested, I should send in a purchase form lickety-split. And, well, just a few days later, the manufacturer's trade route got locked down. Listen, honest, I could've sworn she was messing with me the way she acted. But here I am now, one of the last lucky buyers,' said an operator from Engineering. Whether or not Operator Harmonie is intentionally distancing herself from others as a way of proving she has no intention of causing trouble here, we simply cannot say. In observing this ducal envoy's movements, we were surprised to find that several children have shown a degree of trust in Harmonie. We note that she had little to do in her first days aboard Rhodes Island other than borrow publicly available books from the repository, and the young patients in question, permitted to leave Medical, just happened to have a fledgling interest in history, and would have gladly asked her to teach them about it. Amusingly, after some time, the children have very naturally taken to addressing her as 'Miss' like one would a teacher, though Harmonie—who has always taken others' evaluations of her in stride—outright rejects this appellation, stating 'How would I ever be a good teacher?'

Rhodes Island's operator roster currently contains some persons who have a history with Harmonie. On account of Victoria's ongoing and highly divisive chaos, she has proactively suggested that her contact with said persons be avoided. Needless to say, she also expressed that if Rhodes Island was willing to work with her, she would be very eager to know of Operator Reed's present movements. Despite her request for intel pertinent to Reed being principally of benefit to Dublinn, she also claimed, 'I admit I'm just quite curious, knowing how Loughshinny's come so far.' We learned that when Reed was serving in Dublinn as the Leader's body double, Harmonie may well have been the one to have the most contact with her, keeping her company in a role analogous to a tutor or mentor. Reed had minimal contact with her sister, and was unwilling to actively participate in Dublinn's schemes; when Dublinn first began reaching out to nobles with an interest in supporting her, her behavior during their talks was likewise left extremely wanting. In regard to this issue, Harmonie offered all the help she could. 'What do you think? Give her more reading time alone, give her less pressure, less responsibility? Is that all it would've taken to do good by her? I certainly wouldn't say so. It would always have been hell for her, you see, situated where she was. And it's a shame—her in that position is exactly what Dublinn wanted, so she could play the part of her sister like a good girl.' RE: Reed's sister, the other Draco to guide Dublinn's flames, who has now taken center stage—Harmonie has not told us much on this subject, but during an idle chat she seemingly inadvertently mentioned that she is by no means loyal to Dublinn, only hoping to see how far the Leader's endeavors will take her. 'The batch of personal records I gave you was the truth. I haven't a tie to the Draco royal family nor the Tarans, and the Duke of Wellington? No one in my family's ever had the prestige to serve under, well, His Excellency. I do have some old Gaulish blood in me, though it's an awful pity I have absolutely no interest in the Gaulish irredentist or Draco restoration movements. Rotten old bygones, all of it, you know. 'I'm just curious to see powers I've never seen, ones that will smash convention into tiny little pieces.'
