Message: <blockquote data-quote="Maerdwyn" data-source="post: 2496470" data-attributes="member: 835">Gwydion is shown in Tjoyia's office (much larger than her last one back on Econdora, and the Senior Scout greets him casually, as if it was just earlier this morning that she had seen him last, rather than a few years ago.[sblock]"Gwydion, great, great.  Here are your reactivation papers," She holds them out to him in one hand( signature page on top), and pen in the other.  "Good, good.  Listen, I don't actually have the mission specifics yet, but this one came down directly from the Dawn Treader.  I do know it's something over in Diamond Prince*, though.   Out of the blue, the Empereror apparently wants trade routes developed, local populations 'uplifted' and educated, and starbases upgraded all through the region   Don't know why he's suddenly got a hard-on for your little corner of space, but I know you're one of the guys for the job.  Right? Right.  "Now I'm going to have you work with some other folks, too - good people, I'm told.  Balls of steel. They were the ones involved in that mess with the Dvonn, but you didn't here it from me, and if it gets out now that I told you, I'm coming after you, so keep your mouth shut, capice? Anyway, the way I hear it, they took on a Dreadnaught in a disabled corsair and lived to tell the tale. The leader's a vargr from Diamon-Prince himself, so you two should get along, "  She pauses, "Huh.  Hope he wasn't in one of the corsair bands that raided your planet...oh well.  Anyway, they don't have a ship yet, but they do have money. I'm going to have you take a shuttle out to the island they're on to introduce yourself, then you take them up to the High Port, and get one of those ships old Gavin has impounded from one of Nells' cronies.   I'll get you more specifics as soon as you're all set to go. "  She stops talkig for the first time since Gwydion stepped into the office, same old Tjoyia.[/sblock]*Subsector O of Ley Sector.  Gwydion's home planet is in that subsector."</blockquote>
