I ask that you use caution if encountering Yhych in the courts. Or at least carry with you an anti-toxin.

Is anyone a weapon-maker here?

Ignore my next message until you are alone or are able to control your reaction.

[ There will be a pause, one which seems to tick away as an eternity for her. And then: ]

I'm told Kebechet is here.

Untrained, yes, but I do not speak of COST as a collective. There are those whom I do not yet trust enough with such delicate information.

[ Hux, in particular, with his attitude on the network calls many things to question. However charming he's been thus far in their interactions... she's learned never to trust a man who says the perfect thing at the perfect time. Likewise, there's a reason Rey does not trust Kylo Ren, and she would take that to heart as well. ]

I believe those I've contacted thus far in this group would be adequate for preparations.

[ So she wasn't wrong about Arthur. ]

Good. Have I convinced you to proffer your aid to us in finding and capturing Kebechet, then? Your training and experience would be priceless.

[pointedlook]

Start small and work your way out, that's a fair strategy.

[ There's a lot of people he doesn't know yet, but most of the recruits she's contacted here seem to be a decent lot. Driven, if anything. ]

Flattery, your majesty?

I'll start digging where I can. Coming up with information here has been a different process. Anything I should know off the bat? Admittedly, you've had more exposure to her.

[dorzalta]

It may be the only way we accomplish this, assuming I'm right in choosing who to relay this information to. Like I've told the others, tell only those you trust, if you feel the need to. I trust you to use your discretion.

Flattery? It's the truth.

[ She's not much good with flattery for the sake of it. ]

She said her role, her unit, was to observe. A detective, she'd called herself. Patient, willing to talk, but does not proffer much personal information and is quick to throw your questions back at you.

I'd say you've got a fairly good gut instinct. I'll let you know if there's anyone that'll be a decent candidate to loop in.

If you say so.

[ He's always been bad at taking a compliment, preferring to divert attention elsewhere. But he is flattered, knowing his work ethic has shown. ]

She sounds like a piece of work. But, I've known a lot of people like her in my business, so that might be something I can build from.
