"I am Wyldfire, who summons me?"
"I am Talonlord Adelon, I have been tasked by the Rani-Satrap to investigate a situation you and your ship may be involved in, without your knowledge..."
"Without my knowledge? Preposterous, I am Wyldfire! What I do not know does not deserve to be known!"
"I sometimes wish I wasn't aware of the allegations, to be sure... But there is evidence of a conspiracy..."
"Bah! Fools allied together will perish together! So it is said in the holy texts of the Pure Way."
"Quite." Adelon was a follower of the Way himself, but certainly less... bombastic, than this loud Martinet, clearly, being one with the once powerful ship had taken a toll... "Have you been in contact with foreigners?"
"No, how could I be? I've been locked in meetings," he paused to spit his distaste of the word. "I've been in meetings for the last three weeks, with the Rani-Satrap denying me or Wyldfire the permission to set sail!"
"It is well that you heeded those orders... The Rani-Satrap has discovered that a foreign enemy wishes to claim both ships.
"What do we know of this enemy?"
"Not much, their agents are well-traveled, and seemingly at ease among the rich and powerful, living and dead. We hear one among them is a collector of souls."
