Of course, of course, the survival of your own people obviously takes precedence.

I am severely concerned for Rheinland's safety. You can probably imagine why.

Caliban, and his previous identity as Vincent, was always unstable. Vengeful. A fragile ego. Quite humoring how he fittingly named one of his vessels as Ego.

He hurt himself and kept hurting himself more and more in some twisted idea that it was Harbingers fault for the mark. Yet, it was his reckless abandon that inflicted the grevious pain to himself. This... desire to 'resist' - to delude himself with free will against the force of nature itself, a will that he damaged. I don't think he even knows who he is anymore truly. Corrupted by this sentiment that he is important, some manipulator. Perhaps he and Viper are in a relationship again, but we cannot tell.

Naturally, I don't trust everything from Harbinger too. A song is being sung. A dance being danced, but the tunes are all over the place. Each have their own intentions. And right now, Shozak has had his minions sent out to brutalise individuals in the area. Truthfully, I still suspect Caliban might be desperate enough to believe that he can use Shozak's paranoia against Harbinger - ... I still cannot believe he thinks he can try to take Lazurith out of the picture.

Mmmm. I anticipated that we would have to be incognito regarding this incursion, but perhaps wait for the dust to settle? Or shall we get it out of the way before security increases?

Either way, we need to get down plans of action and fast. It's possible we could fall to the Temple itself, we do not know what awaits us. If there is anything left.

Did you tell Klugmann much of the Sentinel crisis?
