“We have been deceived. For the last months, the individual going by the alias Vishes has fooled us, weighing the Clan into the false belief of being our ally. Only now he has revealed his true intentions.”

"Right now the SRI Intelligence Division has located multiple Caelus-Security Units approaching the Motti Memorial Spaceport, also two of the C-Sec Home Defense Fleet ships have taken position in a low orbit above the Paragon."

“Ceyra Ky'Lian has told us that all this is about her brother's plans to take over Taldryan and right now it is safe to assume that our Consul is held as a prisoner by Drayen. To avoid a civil war it is indispensable that Drayen Ky'Lian must be stopped.” - Andrelious Mimosa-Inahj, Quaestor of House Archanis
