[QUOTE="GnomeWorks, post: 1599465, member: 162"] "I don't know if we should trust you." Shardorn says suddenly, quietly. "You turned your back on me once - what will make this time different?" "The fact that the fate of the world hangs in the balance, this time." Jirlai responds, leaving no pause between Shardorn's question and his reply. "I don't know what the gateway spoken of is, or where it leads... but it cannot be good. I'll be honest - I'm selfish, and I'm trying to stay alive, at this point. Destroying psionics and technology is something of a secondary goal right now to trying to figure out how to get out of this without Ratheqar hunting me down." He sighs, and leans back in his chair. "Luna and I will continue as planned. We'll tell Ratheqar that you eluded us. I don't know where you're going, and I don't want to know... chances are such that Ratheqar will have ways of getting it out of me, even if I'm not aware of it. As I said before, we won't try to stop you... but do know this: if you do build this thing, and there is any chance of Ratheqar getting his hands on it... I will destroy it at the earliest opportunity. That thing is something he needs, and I won't let him have it. So be careful." He then looks to Animus. "My question, however, is this: what do [b]you[/b] plan to do, Animus? Will you continue with these people, or will you seek the girl? We could bring you with us, pretending that you are a captive, and then let you loose once we are in Koltir, saying that you broke your bonds and overpowered us... but I'll leave the decision to you. If possible, I will try to ensure that she is safe, but I do not know how possible that is. I cannot say where they will hold or, or why they need her... but if you do come with us, know that Ratheqar will undoubtedly seek you out, either through me or another - and though I would delay as long as possible, others may not."
