[QUOTE="Systole, post: 6164824, member: 93930"] The inhabitants of the Forenicci settlement bid you farewell, and you make it back to the ship without incident, richer by a fairly thick file on the Boragas. Shari immediately sets to reading it and in the evening she presents a summary. [COLOR=#ee82ee]"House Boraga is headed by Grand Dame Ludmilla Boraga. The House has always been known for its ruthless business dealings, but Ludmilla has taken it to a whole new level, and most of her six children are following in her footsteps. By the way, that's six children fathered by three husbands, all deceased. Well, [I]supposedly [/I]fathered by. Brasi Boraga was born ten and a half months after his quote-unquote father died, so there's that. He did kill someone in a duel after the other guy questioned his paternity, though, so he's apparently a bit sensitive about the issue.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ee82ee]"Anyway, I was saying: six kids.
