On the matter of the locator and why Kivrin didn't have one, I think the difference is that she was to be there for two weeks and couldn't have anything to show she was other than a woman of the time - hence the surgical implant of her recorder. You couldn't implant a locator as presumably you would have to set it physically. Therefore she couldn't have one but the boy, simply on an in and out rescue mission, could.
Off on holidays for 10 days so sorry not to be able to participate more on this book.
