You are looking in the wrong place, Commander.

Ondi believed Vaxto to be the culprit, but my analysis of his body language and inflections ascertains that he spoke the truth. The margin of error is so low as to be negligible in this case.

Orasek
Dialogue
I am not saying Vaxto did it. I have noticed a pattern, Commander. In our Council sessions when we are debating topics, Vaxto and Koyala tend to be of a similar mind-set.

They see eye-to-eye more often than not. They tend to make arguments that favor maintaining the status quo, often via control or even violence.

I think it’s strange that Koyala is not campaigning for Chairperson. It would be in character. The only explanation is that she is supporting Vaxto’s bid.

Then we should speak with her.

She is not here. She is leading the search for Nardo. Convenient, no?

The timing is too suspicious. I knew we should have held our vote at the base, not here in the Veil. The fact that Nardo should go missing now, right before the election…

Nardo has gone off on his own before, usually returning with some pilfered rust bucket. I am sure he has not gone far. I will lead the search for him.

Good. In the meantime, I would like the Commander to investigate. I suspect foul play, and we are all too close to this.

Very well. We will need to speak with members of the Council in private.

Koyala is recovering in a medical facility nearby. We will need to fill her place in the Council. Then, perhaps, we can address the issue of who should be Chairperson.

I don’t think we need to wait that long. The events of today have made it clear who I trust to lead us. Perhaps it is as well that everything unfolded as it did.

Gessa, I wanted it to be you. You have so much passion for the Forsaken, for what we are trying to achieve here. But I think a level head is needed here.

Ondi
Dialogue
If Nardo hasn’t just wandered off without telling anyone, and if I had to point a finger… I’d say it was Vaxto. He has been campaigning pretty hard to be our leader.

Not that I think he’d make a particularly good one.

Why is that?

Why target the Pakled?

Phase

Character
Ondi
Dialogue
My guess? He didn’t want to risk it. Nardo is a wildcard. Quite profound at times, but impossible to predict. I think Vaxto didn’t consider that we would postpone the vote for Nardo.
Objective ID

Ondi

But all he has to do is wait. We’ll have to do it eventually, with or without Nardo.

Thank you for your time, Ondi. It appears that we should speak with Vaxto next.

Vaxto
Dialogue
I had nothing to do with this, though I am happy to proceed with the vote without the Pakled. What use is a councillor who does not understand what he votes for?

Character
Vaxto
Dialogue
Allowing him a seat at the table was alright at first. Now we have grown, as have our responsibilities. Keeping the Pakled on the Council is a farce.

I do not know. But I have my suspicions of Orasek.

Maia
Dialogue
Why so?
Objective ID
248,527,073
Phase

Character
Vaxto
Dialogue
Something in his countenance. He claims to renounce leadership, yet gravitates towards it. He is quietly powerful in a way which I suspect hides a deeper agenda.
Objective ID

Maia
Dialogue
That is quite an accusation. You believe Orasek to be working against the Forsaken?
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Vaxto
Dialogue
I did not say that. There is a tendency to be weary people who are forthright and assertive. I believe the quiet strategist is far more deserving of fear.

Understood. Then perhaps we should speak with Orasek.
