Faraine: “Thank you for arranging this ambassador.”
Mitelan: “Of course I had no idea you would be so proactive though.”
Faraine: “We are running out of time before the vote.”
Mitelan: “Yes, I expect we have 3 days or less your highness.”
Lord Hyroux: “Trust a princess to have poor timing.”

Faraine: “You investigated the disappearance of the scrapper 8?
Lord Hyroux: “Digging into other people’s past, guess you are the relentless type.”
Faraine: “I remember your questioning; you have not let go of the past either.”
Lord Hyroux: “It was the only blemish in my record, before I became a lord.”
Faraine: “So you will vote to believe us then?”
Lord Hyroux: “I do, I am not pleased about it.”
Faraine: “How did you know they were like spiders?”
Lord Hyroux: “They had a small workshop near the scrapyard...”
Lord Hyroux: “That is where I found some incomplete blueprints.”
Lord Hyroux: “They were very spiderlike in their designs.”
Faraine: “Presumably they made the constructs for their mysterious backer.”
Lord Hyroux: “So you know about that too.”
Faraine: “Yes,.. who was their mysterious backer?”
Lord Hyroux: “Someone not from Arjen…”

Faraine: “How can you be so sure?”
Lord Hyroux: “Why build an experimental project in foreign territory?”
Faraine: “Unless you want to keep it secret from your rivals.”
Lord Hyroux: “And have it unrecoverable, the exact situation right now.”
Lord Hyroux: “We both know your father will never give us the constructs.”
Faraine: “What you say, makes sense.”
Lord Hyroux: “Did you really only find 6 bodies?”
Faraine: “Yes, although the facility is still being searched.”
Lord Hyroux: “We will expect the bones to be returned.”
Faraine: “Of course, well that’s all I wanted to ask, I should head back to the embassy.”
Faraine: “Good luck in the parade.”
Faraine: taps the chassis of the construct.
Lord Hyroux: “Dam, princess luck.”

Tyto: “Kyaren you can do this!”

Mitelan: “Those fools they are going start a war.”
Sir Quillan: “She was on the balcony; attendants saw her escape with the others.”
Sir Quillan: “Ambassador I need the royal guard.”
Mitelan: “Of course, just take off your armour and uniforms first.”
Sir Quillan: “We do not have time to do that.”
Mitelan: “If they know she unguarded, she is vulnerable.”
Mitelan: “Officially, she is in a secret location.”
Mitelan: “That just so happens to be secret from us.”
Sir Quillan: “What if they have taken her?”
Sir Quillan: “Whoever they are!”
