[GM Craig]

Rhia frowns, and starts pacing away from you a few steps.

"So what's your role here, Agent? What are you after?"

[GM Craig]

[OOC: In case it wasn't clear, Trax is in the room with you.]

[Trax]

[OOC: Yeah, that was still my understanding.  Linki is welcome to try to order him out but the best she'd get is a raised eyebrow from him.

Trax is just observing, and wondering if why she doesn't trust any of her staff to be in on this discussion.]

[Nim Naja]

"I'm not much of a diplomat but my role is to persuade the system to join the alliance. We started with Fest. But with the imps bearing down suddenly, the factions here have to cooperate or there might not be a Fest left to join up. We have a good shot at saving many of these people but we need your help to make this happen. The imps will come in with a vengeance, make a bloody example out of Fest to serve as a warning to the some dozen planets uprising now."

[Nim Naja]

It sounded so practiced. It wasn't, but it sounded It. Would that have recruited Nim if she had been in her place?

"You know what, let me be real for a second."

She paused, and those horrific images flashed again.

"Us two nearly died on a frozen mountaintop not too long ago. Giant imperial ambush slaughtered our team wholesale."

Nim circled a finger in the air indicating their present location.

"And I absolutely do not fancy revisiting that but if I had to I'd at least like a fighting chance this time, maybe take a few with me. If they come bearing gifts, we're not leaving, regardless of that storm out there."

"Maybe, maybe your resources are too valuable. But the imps once glassed an entire planet for a small rebel cell. Considering the first planet to be hit will be made an example for the rest of the galaxy, I wouldn't put it past them to simply blast in this mountain and spike up the heads of everyone else."
