IC: Message from Steel Guard - Regarding Coile


Inago

It appears my leader... our leader.... the leader of the Silent Tempest has done something foolish. I recieved the following message today. I will let you make your own conclusions.

* There is a holographic image of Coile standing in front of the recording device. He is wearing his Silent Tempest uniform *

Is this thing recording? I guess it is. I hope Steel Guard delivers this to someone or there was no point in making this. But if no one sees this even saying this is futile. So I hope this gets to someone...

So, uhm, if you're seeing this I haven't gotten back yet. That could be bad. I think it's bad. I left on Tuesday night to go back to Khan Tengri where Sword of Truth died. Except I don't think she's dead, any more. When I was on a mission to some other world to place a tracking beacon to sniff Requiem out I was contacted. The guy said he was Rifoldo or Rufoldo or something like that. Something that CIRCE recognized to be Requiem's original name.

The man told me that he was holding Sword. Alive. If I wanted her back I would have to go back to Khan Tengri. So that's what I'm doing. He wants me to betray you all. Not going to happen. I'll see if I can fool him or something. I'm not going to sell you out. I'll live free with Nadia on this world, not a prisoner someplace else. I have with me a quantum gun. CIRCE didn't paint a pretty picture but it's the best plan that I have. Maybe I can wing him. Or if I have a lucky shot, bring it all to an end quickly. But if you're getting this message the bad odds didn't swing my way.

Listen, I was contacted to sell you out. It's possible others have been too. We, um, well, you need to trust the others during this fight, but be also careful. Get Alfred or someone to check that no one intends to sabotage something important. I didn't bring this up before because any leak could have gotten Sword killed. By now whatever took place did already so no damage any more.

So, um, fight good and beat him. May sky goddess favour your efforts.

Steel, deliver this to CIRCE or someone who should know. Like Mina or whoever there is. Also to Tempest and Akkarin, and Pyr if she sticks her flamehair head out. Oh and to Inago. And anyone who is a big shot. I don't really know them, really. And Dawn, if you're seeing this, I'd like to say sorry about, you know, stuff.

I have a meeting with Lord of the Spirits now. So, um, bye.
