"I am Yargos Gill. These hoodlums are War Hounders, followers of a local crime boss names Nessian. He discovered I'd found a codebook related to an invasion of Absalom planned some eight hundred years ago. I've been translating the codes from this book and replicated the codes to start the invasion on a lark. Much to my shame, as I translated more of the book I realized that the instigators of this invasion had sworn an oath binding even beyond the grave . . . and my replication of the codes has awakened them! They'll start the invasion soon, and now Nessian has the book! Yargos actually starts to weep as he continues his tale. "There's a signal in the book to halt the invasion, but I can't replicate it without the book to reference! Please . . . you've got to help me get it back! Nessian plans to use the book to blackmail the city and take a place in the power structure - he was going to kill me to keep me from warning them!"</blockquote>
