FROM: @CMDR | TO: @ALL

ATTN: ALL PERSONEL.

We have had recent recruits that have joined our fight. I understand you have been briefed and given training for this mission and our stay in Aranean society. As for the rest: I am your Commanding Officer, Grothia, previously of the Regency. Unfortunately, at present, I am often tied up in diplomacy meetings with the high court. But you can reach me via your BCE, or at certain times during the day in COST's supplied quarters.

Field Officer Young, who is at present wearing of her human appearance, is also present. She can be found at similar through similar means.

If you have any concerns, you may bring them to either of us.

As for your mission here. Our main concern is to secure COST's supply of Ymir, this substance is responsible for powering all forms of time travel in the Galaxy and the dimension shifting required to do so. It is the bones of the fallen God, Ymir and it seems mankind was not made to touch their Gods. Aranean's are a species genetically made to mine such a thing and no human is capable of it. That is why they are absolutely crucial and our alliance with them over the Regency, at all costs, must be assured.

At present, High Queen Thsch is our best bet of this. There is no denying the woman is cruel. A slight is enough to make her snap your limbs, one by one. But the natural Jhashcn bias to those who would eat those who suppress inclines her to us, and we need to foster that fondness.

Her daughter, on the other hand, wishes to overthrow her mother, as is their way. So far in my dealings with her, she has been far more moderate. She favours neither heavy slavery nor absolute forms of punishment. She even has an open, qualitative relationship with her brother as I have observed them. They frequently whisper together at the meetings I have attended. That may be appealing, but she will have no bar with us, as we cannot at present assure what she needs to take the throne.

That is as much as my limited position has allowed me to learn. Sadly neither Officer Young or I can move too freely due to our high profile scrutiny. Remember: if it moves, it is a spy, here. There is nothing you say, or do, that is not being reported to someone unless it is done through the BCE.

As such: COST operatives, I require a debrief of your actions, so they we may assist one another. If you have an idea, a skill, speak up, so that we can use it. This is not a usual type of battle, more's the pity, and awareness of movements is needed more than ever.

I would admit that there are many things about this society, which the queen maintains as status quo, that I do not appreciate.
But this is not my world. And throwing our lot in with the princess merely because she represents promises she might fail to follow through on could open us to unforeseen trouble and danger, given how close she has seemed with the Regency.

The High Queen has survived this long in this place. I believe it would be wise to assume she is aware of such a plot.
So we would need to find specific details that she could use, which she does not already know.


[She's the most powerful piece in all of this, so they would have to be spies better than whichever ones she already has in her employ.]

Yes, agreed.
There is the one detail we've been speaking to Daenerys about.
Kebechet is here, moonlighting as a shabti secretary.
The prince and princess may know this and be working with her to fuel their goals using the Regency.
The Queen, however, may not.

We expose the plot, expose Kebechet, and bring the Queen's fury down on their heads.
We look like the best option, in the end.

[He can't believe how much sense Hei is making to him. Perhaps he truly has changed.]

Yes, I have been told about this.
I am very curious as to her goals. If she is claiming to be a secretary, it is an act of subterfuge of some kind, though what information she is attempting to use this station to gather is unknown.
We will first need to find out if this alliance exists. If it does, yes, this is something we can use in the way you have described.

I am not against killing many birds with one well-placed stone.

I will dig deeper.

A warning: be mindful of what you say here.
We have rats.

Let me know what you discover.
I will help in whatever way I can.


[And yes, Hei, even if helping the most he was able to do would be in doing nothing at all.]

Some are easily charmed, despite knowing they are in a pit of snakes.
Yes. I will do so.
Best of luck.

post-hei's catchup on reading all this crazy shit

[personal profile] dipolar 2018-05-15 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
Looks like that confirms it.
Princess Chch is intent on setting up a Ymir supply route for the Regency, as confirmed by the Commander in one of the exchanges on this debriefing.

I see.
Her efforts, then, were to divide and conquer us, I assume.

What do you plan to do?

Kill Kebechet, give her head to the Queen, and rally the Houses we can get on our side against the Princess and her Regency dogs.

A severe plan, but these are dire times.

Let me know should you require additional help.
