If I may offer a... small bit of additional information about our upcoming... expected altercation with the Pleroma --
[ A pause, the:. ] I doubt the lot of you are familiar with the current thorn in our side that is possessing the Pleroma called Estinien. It is called the Innocent, as Emet-Selch informed you, and it is quite powerful, as I have had the displeasure of encountering it more than once. They can, and will be able to take things away from you -- such as the ability to see which sect others are of -- or our ability to create portals. If it is taken, I cannot guarantee that it will return swiftly. I explained this earlier, but I cannot stress enough that it will be dangerous to deal with, and thus must be taken care of quickly.
I think that when the Pleroma come to rescue their friends, and I do not doubt that Estinien will be with them -- unless he is already dead, I do not think he will be able to ignore that we have their allies. [ A pause, as he considers how much to share, from his earlier conversation, and of course the fact that he had been given that secret spear. ] We must keep him here. I do not think multiple attempts at capturing him will be successful, if we wish to deal with That Thing before it causes more problems for us. I guarantee it will continue to do so, if we are not cautious, and if we do not handle it promptly.
So do what you will when they come, if you are able to kill or capture any others, don't hesitate, but if you have to make a choice... prioritize That Thing that the Regent has so carefully put circumstances together to draw out.
