Emissary Ba'solo: Thank you for allowing me to accompany you on this pilgrimage, Opulence. The Eternal City is wondrous indeed! |
Opulence Ba'hare: It is impressive, Ba'solo. But it pales in comparison to other works of the First Ones. |
Emissary Ba'solo: You... you have seen their handiwork? The patterns? The geometry? |
Opulence Ba'hare: That is for me to know. I will speak no further of it here. |
Emissary Ba'solo: Opulence, this Arbiter that the attendants serve so fervently. Have you ever seen her carry out her supposed Purpose? |
Opulence Ba'hare: They allow no witnesses to that process. And they would probably banish us from Oribos for even asking. |
Emissary Ba'solo: But are they not the most powerful beings in the Shadowlands? You always say there is profit in power. |
Opulence Ba'hare: For your sake, Ba'solo, see that you do not. |
Discreet Facilitator: Opulence, I am happy to report that everything goes according to plan. |
Opulence Ba'hare: Welcome news, but I expect no less. |
Emissary Ba'solo: We may yet profit from these endeavors. |
Opulence Ba'hare: When I profit, we all profit. Each according to their station. |
Discreet Facilitator: Of course, Opulence. |
Discreet Facilitator: Opulence. I must report that some of the caretakers are growing agitated about our activity. |
Emissary Ba'solo: We must take appropriate actions to placate them. Nothing can be allowed interfere with the operation. |
Opulence Ba'hare: How do our operations go in the ring above? |
Discreet Facilitator: All goes well, Opulence. The mortals continue to consume. |
Opulence Ba'hare: Fortunate for us that they possess such voracious appetites. |
Emissary Ba'solo: And that you are so shrewd as to turn their desires into our profits. |
Discreet Facilitator: I must report that the demands of the mortals are pushing the limits of our portal capacity. |
Opulence Ba'hare: Ba'solo, we must expand the reach of our networks. |
Emissary Ba'solo: I shall speak to Ta'saran. His cartel may be able to assist. |
Opulence Ba'hare: Be discreet. No need to disclose our margins. Am I clear? |
Emissary Ba'solo: As you will it, Opulence. |
Ta'mari: Reporting in, Opulence. The attendants are asking questions about the portal network, but nothing I can't handle. |
Opulence Ba'hare: Do not underestimate them. I know you are an astute broker, but keep your guard up. |
Emissary Ba'solo: Indeed. The caretakers are also astute, but I trust you, Ta'mari. Keep your associates on track. |
Ta'mari: I will do my best. For the cartel, of course. |
