	As Simon became aware of his every move being monitored and his investigation being sabotaged at every turn, he went behind Rikkin's back and absconded with the Sword. Under threat of of being labeled a traitor, he became desperate to prove the value of his research and began looking for "the [[Heart]]", the missing component of the Sword which could restore its power. After finding it in [[France]], he returned to [[London]] just in time for his hearing with the Inner Sanctum and showcased the fully functional Sword while explaining his new outlook on the Templars' role in society. Earning the respect of most of his Inner Sanctum peers, Simon was ~~clared~~ of all charges and granted full authority to oversee his department as he saw fit.
