Encrypted Message to Admiral Layne

My Dear Lady,

When it comes down to matters of the Nightmarish, I could think of no one else to turn to but you. For the necessity of research that I am undertaking I require beings that are known by the title, 'Broken'. In this case I require those who were once Earther, K'iou, Kumfei, etc, and have become 'Broken' with the traits of a Nightmare.

I also require 'Broken' known as Tsogari, which I wonder if you would have any of those in your possession, but I do so with some doubts. Tsogari are creatures of a most 'resilient' nature and they are not to have their toes stepped on being as they're of one of those more 'dangerous' orders.

Should you have beings such as these in your possession, I would gladly buy them from you. If any of your associates have them in their possession, then I would also gladly buy the individuals from them. Should they lack having them in their possession, then it would seem I will have to acquire them through more 'unsavory' means.

-With Deepest Regards, Orleos Sacrenine

"Mr. Sacrenine,
I can send you broken Slavebeasts, Broken Butcher Dogs (Reavers), and Instilled Nightmares.

Tsogari would be impossible unless you try and kidnap them from the Northern Kingdoms on the planet Refuge. Even if you succeed Mr. Sacrenine, the Cult of the Tsoga will put a deathmark on your head."

Layne,

Unfortunately Instilled Nightmares aren't something I am in need of. What I require are beings whom have integrated themselves with the traits of a nightmare, but still hold their own will. The best example would be the beings known as the Tyr'ani. They are quite peculiar beings indeed, they have the ability to be like nightmares, yet retain their free wills.

As for the Tsogari, I feared that I would have no choice but to capture one of them. That is a matter I would have to tread on quite delicately, perhaps I shall send a representative party with some relief for that venture Blackheart is planning for the impoverished citizens of the Northern Kingdoms, and have them track one down.

After all, a single Tsogari would advance my research by leaps and bounds, but two or more, well let's just say that I would be able to complete it in record time. The only problem would be locating them and as you said, making sure my head isn't marked in their minds. I shall have to weigh the odds.

"Mr Sacrenine,

Your words in the defense of Le-a HiveQueen were quite poetic at the recent trial.
I have heard from my Uth Seers that Le-a also desires to begin experimenting on Tsogari cultists.
Perhaps you and she can work together.

Allow me to send an Uthvelor Slave Hunter with you if you do trek to the Northern Kingdoms of Refuge to find them. His name is Ylio Took and he knows the frozen north like others know their own backyard. All I ask is that you do not reveal to Le-a that Mr. Took is one of my agents.
Quall and I have a history that is not too kindly. "

Twas merely to put myself in the good graces of the Quall, nothing more, after all, the only one whom I owed a kindness was Ar'yay, but she's gone now. Ah well, the balance of Kyrpos is a delicate thing and should the need to undermine the Quall ever arise, then I will be in a position to help...'facilitate' the necessary plans, but until then I don't see why I can't play nice.

Not to mention it helps keep Garmin's disgusting creeper fungus off the resources that I can use and keeps the conflict to a minimum, for both sides mind you. We shall see how it all plays out in the long run now shall we? As for the plan of using Mr Took, I do believe that will be most beneficial. The Tsogari could be used when captured, and should the need arise to pin the blame, Le-a can take the fall.

Lovely how that just works isn't it?

-With plots and plans,
Orleos
