Diplomatic Immunity--Preface: Vasha's Discovery

[Bront]

"Yes." she says, knowing that she couldn't possibly bring herself to break Zythryd's heart, even if it was probably best for him.

"I was hoping to get off planet for a bit, but I have almost a month till I can do that without causing problems with my contract. I don't know if it can be bought out though."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Hmm...I'll look into to buying out your contract, then, while you work, okay?"

 

[Bront]

Vasha smiles "Thank you, you're too kind.

Vasha's next shift is somewhat awkward, though she does her best to focus on what is at hand. When she is done, she goes looking for Alyz.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Oh no, it's the least I can do."

*She finds Alyz waiting for her after her shift.*

"Let's head to the library so we can check the Forbidden Records."

 

[Bront]

She nods. She makes sure to check if her note was delivered, and to find and wave to Zythryd before she heads off.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Vasha finds that her note was delivered, and she waves to Zythryd before returning to Alyz. Together, the two of them walk to the library, where Alyz nods to the librarian and then walks through the main section of the library, which is filled with thousands of books, to a small back area that has a large lock on the door but has since been unlocked.*

"I took the liberty of getting it opened for us beforehand and starting some research. Here, right this way."

 

[Bront]

Vasha follows Alyz through the library, in a way glad that she did not spend many fruitless hours searching through the normaly accessable sections of this massive place.

"A good plan, hopefully it will make our search easier. Have you any idea where to begin?"

Vasha helps how she can in researching. While not used to this type of research, she is a smart woman and can catch on fairly quickly, as well as understand some of the more basic researching skills needed to sort through this information.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, we are looking mainly at a certain genre of forbidden text--mainly the old Mojiin legends as chronicled by Valthos long ago. Once we refine our search to those, we are likely to see good results."

 

[Bront]

"That makes sense." She says, as she narrows her searching through those texts, pouring herself into the work.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*As they go through the texts, it is not long before Alyz excitedly brings over one of them and shows it to Vasha. Like all of these ancient chronicles, it is a musty old scroll that looks like it is in constant danger of falling apart. It is also written in an ancient Valsian script that is significantly more primal than their modern language. Alyz points out the relevant passages, which speak of the three Jewels.*

"Here we go. I think I've found what we want. Now, let's see...for what specifically shall we search within this section of the text?"
