Hello everyone, and welcome back! Previously, Satznswys rescued Nero, Doga, and Unei from the World of Darkness. The latter two stayed behind to stop the Cloud of Darkness from reaching into Hydaelyn and destroying it. G'raha Tia closed the doors to the Crystal Tower until such time that the world is ready for the height of Ancient Allagan technology.
Now, Satznswys returns to the Rising Stones to meet with Minfilia.
She wistfully remembers the days when the Scions of the Seventh Dawn just dealt with the primal threat, and wonders if it was wise to take on so many additional responsibilities.
Alphinaud says that with the Crystal Braves, they do have more resources now to handle everything on their plate.
Alphinaud confirms. The Flames are struggling with the fact that one of their highest-ranking officers was a traitor. Teledji Adeledji and the Monetarists have been using this to weaken the Flames' position in Ul'dah. He says that he wants to direct the Crystal Braves to support Raubahn in this delicate situation. He plans to stay deployed in Ul'dah, rather than running back and forth between there and Revenant's Toll.
They're still working on the blade of Light problem.
Sure thing, Minfilia. Alphinaud is happy to continue working with Satznswys, and is grateful for the ever-present help she provides.
Alphinaud has been working with Riol directly under his command.
Alphinaud's got another job in mind for Satznswys.
He calls back to the weapons dealers that distributed to the rioters in Ul'dah. His sources point to a black marketeer near Highbridge in east Thanalan.
Riol mentions the merchant that got arrowed to death right in front of Satznswys.
Sounds like a plan. Alphinaud tells her to meet with Captain Ilberd, and the two of them should be able to intervene when this appointed exchange is to take place. He leaves for Ul'dah.
