"A personal interest in the way you handle detainees, and people destined for off-world exile."

"Is it necessary to your investigation?" the King asks. "I have no problem showing you, but I am curious why YOU are curious."

"I would like to know the fate of the girl with whom I was first captured, Enah was her name. Tull was quite insistent that I arrived with no-one, almost to the point of disbelief. I do not want you to question your loyal advisory, but something more is going on here than what I came here for.."

"I do not recall hearing about her other than from you," King Evand says. "But very well. If you think she has been captured, she will be down there."

Does this mean I have permission to go down there?

Not alone. The King will accompany you.

"Very well, I thank you for your help in this matter, and your hospitality," Denzral will rise. "I am most grateful."

Did you wish to discuss anything else with King Evand?

"If you don't mind me asking, King, there is also the matter of Tull's supposed Force powers. What proof have you seen of them?"

"What do you mean?" King Evand says. "He can do the usual parlour tricks that your kind can do."

'Very well. How long has Tull served you?'

"About six or seven years," Evand says. "He is a smart man and has helped me greatly."

"He arrived around the time of my Master's death." Denzral whispered, and logged it as something to look into. "Shall we make a move, sire?"

"Certainly," King Evand says.

This time you are approaching that sealed door with legitimate purpose and with the blessings of the King. Things may have gone much differently had you broken in. Instead, the King unlocks it via password and escorts you into the detention facility, along with two Knights of the Tower.

It is very cold down here, Denzral!

Any chance I can figure out the password for later use? Also can I say I popped by and collected Soapy on the way down.

Yes, Soapy can be with you. And no; the password is complex and the King does not want you to know it.

"Soapy any chance you have an image of Enah stored in your buffer?"

Negative. You know what she looks like and can describe her.

You descend a flight of old stone stairs into the Tower's dungeon. It is apparent that it wasn't always used for the keeping of 'unwelcome guests' and more for violent prisoners from the way it is arranged. Lots of gun emplacements have been removed and security traps converted to less lethal versions.

The stairs are not long and it deposits into a central corridor that connects all parts of the prison. Guards are everywhere, all packing those powerful stun guns.

"Here we are," King Evand says. "Not my favorite place to visit. Do you want a tour?"

Is that a sincere question, or is he being sarcastic?

A serious question, though the King is rather sassy.
