"How may I serve your grace?"
She giggled. "You may start by not treating me like an immaculate figurehead. I am a nobody in Greyfalls, I come to observe. Those of the eye come to get news, we hope they may be of help to her Imperial Majesty."
"But she has been gone so long..."
"It is so, but those of the eye do not pick and choose amoung our duties, we execute all of them as laid out by her... Greyfalls is deadlocked, thankfully, none of the great houses can end the stalemate and take control of the first age installations here... And at the same time, they expend blood, secrets and treasure to spy on and act against one another... You will keep me informed of anything you learn. You will instruct your agents to do the same. I know of one, he smuggled me into the city. Peleps Danic Rarida. He has a rare ship, he disguises it as a floating ship, but to those who can see, it is obvious it belonged in a flying legion..."
"What? That traitor!"
"Do not be an idiot... He had the ship blown out from under him, but he was there on legitimate business, if anyone has a claim to that ship, it's him. Grand Admiral Ragara Feria reported him missing in action, so our enemies can underestimate the means at our disposal..."
"So she was promoted... Interesting. Considering she left here in fear of her own life."
"You know so little of the art... Know this, what could crack those four ships in that way, would have taken a quarter of the Silent Legion's best troops, and left them bones on the sand. Whoever it was, was potent and dangerous, a true enemy of the Scarlet Empire, we will be the All-Seeing Eye, and watch, as is our duty...
