The captain turned to the Daimyo and bowed his head respectfully in recognition.
"While I don't doubt the vigilance of the Blood Dragons, I perhaps think that you have underestimated the Aoi Iseijin," he said, "not only are they decptive in the extreme in their infected form, but they also make use of non-infected agents who are simply under their sway. Such agents could only be detected by extensive psychological examination, and even then, no prognosis would be certain."
He cleared his throat.
"If they are not in the court, they will find out what was said here through word of mouth regardless," Captain Leigh went on, "and that alone makes them dangerous in the extreme, and worthy of at least some attention."
"Certainly, the Order is not asking the Blood Dragons to drop it's struggle to topple the Samura puppets on the Kusari throne, but as has already been mentioned," he said, speaking as much to the court as to Daimyo Maeda, "there are those among the Blood Dragons who already have greivance with the Aoi Iseijin. Surely a small number of pilots is a reasonable commitment for a 'secondary threat'?"
