Two Blades... Yes, that corroborates
what we've heard. |
| 2 |
|
qst201004_msg0002 |
84 |
How much does the Department
of Safety know? |
| 3 |
|
qst201004_msg1001 |
84 |
Honestly, not a lot. We know their
names are Praxis and Theory, and
that's about it. |
| 4 |
|
qst201004_msg2001 |
84 |
We're on a manhunt for them and
their Drivers, but we don't have much
to go on. |
| 5 |
|
qst201004_msg3001 |
84 |
So far, no one's even seen what
they look like. |
| 6 |
|
qst201004_msg3002 |
84 |
I see... |
| 7 |
|
qst201004_msg4001 |
84 |
I've heard there are similar incidents
happening in other countries. Might
they be related, do you think? |
| 8 |
|
qst201004_msg0003 |
84 |
It's highly probable. |
| 9 |
|
qst201004_msg0004 |
84 |
We've had similar disturbances in
Gormott lately, and those two Blades
were sighted there too. |
| 10 |
|
qst201004_msg0005 |
84 |
The problem is, we've lost so many
of our men to them already... |
| 11 |
|
qst201004_msg0006 |
84 |
If you've already got the military on
the case, can't you just send out
a bigger party to get them? |
| 12 |
|
qst201004_msg0007 |
84 |
I'm afraid the capital's standing army
aren't going to mobilize just for two
rogue Blades. |
| 13 |
|
qst201004_msg0009 |
84 |
Having said that, the Department of
Safety don't have the capacity to deal
with large-scale operations like this. |
| 14 |
|
qst201004_msg0012 |
84 |
But we can't just let them run
rampant. |
| 15 |
|
qst201004_msg0013 |
84 |
If we were to try and apprehend these
criminals, would you assist us? |
| 16 |
|
qst201004_msg0014 |
84 |
You would help us?! |
| 17 |
|
qst201004_msg0015 |
84 |
But of course! Having the Special
Inquisitor's assistance in this matter
would be most reassuring! |
| 18 |
|
qst201004_msg0016 |
84 |
That's all well and good, but how
exactly are we supposed to
catch them? |
| 19 |
|
qst201004_msg0017 |
84 |
So what now? We go wandering
about town carrying Core Crystals
around in plain sight? |
| 20 |
|
qst201004_msg0018 |
84 |
They're being cautious now, but
parade a hundred Crystals under their
noses and I bet that'll change. |
| 21 |
|
qst201004_msg0019 |
84 |
Yeah, but we probably shouldn't
expect to go up against those two
and come out of this unscathed. |
| 22 |
|
qst201004_msg0020 |
84 |
Oh, there's no reason we should play
ourselves straight into their hands. |
| 23 |
|
qst201004_msg0021 |
84 |
What's your plan, Mòrag? |
| 24 |
|
qst201004_msg0022 |
84 |
Rather than waiting for them to appear,
we should lure them into a situation
that will be advantageous for us. |
| 25 |
|
qst201004_msg0024 |
84 |
With the Department of Safety on our
side, we should be able to assemble
a decent number of troops. |
| 26 |
|
qst201004_msg0025 |
84 |
We'll divide their attention between us
and a second unit. Keeping them apart
will minimize casualties. |
| 27 |
|
qst201004_msg0027 |
84 |
How will we get them to split up,
though? |
| 28 |
|
qst201004_msg0028 |
84 |
By spreading rumors. |
| 29 |
|
qst201004_msg0029 |
84 |
Rumors? |
| 30 |
|
qst201004_msg0030 |
84 |
We'll spread rumors that two deals
involving smuggled Core Crystals are
going down in two separate locations. |
| 31 |
|
qst201004_msg0031 |
84 |
If we circulate this in secret to enough
merchants in the area... |
| 32 |
|
qst201004_msg0032 |
84 |
Then the culprits will take the bait! |
| 33 |
|
qst201004_msg0033 |
84 |
We can use the Merc Group to
spread the rumors without our
enemies catching on. |
| 34 |
|
qst201004_msg0034 |
84 |
It'll still be pretty tough dealing with
one of them alone. |
| 35 |
|
qst201004_msg0035 |
84 |
I know we'll be fine, but will the
others be able to handle them? |
| 36 |
|
qst201004_msg0036 |
84 |
Those not versed enough in battle can
be supported by the Merc Group when
we set our plan into motion. |
| 37 |
|
qst201004_msg0037 |
84 |
Would the Department of Safety be
OK with this? |
| 38 |
|
qst201004_msg0038 |
84 |
Indeed! We're fully on board with you. |
| 39 |
|
qst201004_msg0039 |
84 |
We'll start organizing a capture
squad immediately. |
| 40 |
|
qst201004_msg0040 |
84 |
Good. Then let's commence the
operation! |
