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.

It has been. Thank you.

I understand. With what we lack in numbers, we will make up for in finesse.

Does COST have any preference to who leads besides who is most likely to supply us with the Ymir? If not, this is merely a case of finding who is most likely to succeed in the fight for power and make ourselves invaluable.


[Part of him wants to believe in the reforms that the princess seems she might offer, but he isn't even sure how much one could attempt to mend a society as fundamentally broken (from his own perspective) as this one. Gallipoli taught him he cannot with his own hands fix everything his heart aches over. In those times he keeps his eyes on the goal at the horizon, attempting to ignore what lay at his feet.]

I understand.

With the situation as dire as it is, we cannot afford to place our bets on someone who we have any reasonable doubt about.
If you believe the best option is the Queen, I will agree and do what I can.

[Please, Commander, you're going to make him blush.]

The Queen seems to have much at her disposal. What do you believe would interest her in trade?
lonelywar: (get my good side)

[personal profile] lonelywar 2018-05-19 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
If I may ask to know your opinion on both, I would be grateful.

[He has no guarantee he'd be able to give what one or the other might require.]

I see.

I am unsure what I would have to give to ensure her favor, but I will keep a keen eye out to see if an idea comes to me. Otherwise I can be called upon when this conflict comes to its apex.

I understand.

Yes, Commander?

Yes, Commander.

I will do what I can as not to fail you in this.
