"He was one of the pirates that came to try and steal it," Rianna replies with a shrug. "We do rather tend to destroy everyone who tries things like that."
"Went to Newhaven, stole a new generator, and tangled with the Bureau on the way out. The Guildmaster of Lanzar was there, and the Agent that had been there was...Force-sensitive. Or something. He was certainly eerie."
"Yes, you had to steal a generator from Newhaven, which got you noticed by the Bureau. Which put you under threat- vulnerable. In need of help; new enemies on all sides at what had been a safe haven. And when you got back?"

"She was waiting here for us, wanting us to go off and take care of something for her..." Rianna says. "And of course then we didn't think anything of it."
"AH, the hunger for power that is so often the mark of your kind," says Ascar. "Affecting the world around you in the way you describe seems relatively pointless to me. Still, no matter. I acquire knowledge for it own sake."

"Oh yes, I am sure she offered to take care of things. I bet she made an offer to make all your troubles go away, yes?
"Well now. Anyone who thinks that chain is coincidence really is a fool. Adelmo created the problems she solved for you. Rather neat, but once your perspective changes you can see that making her angry in this way is a GOOD thing. It means the course she planned has gone wrong, and as that course will inevitably end in your deaths, that;s what you want.
"But," he says, offering a hand to Relle if she wants to stand. "Don;t make her pointlessly angry. That is of no value. She is irrational and exceptionally dangerous, and if you incite her for no reason she is liable to do something irreversible."

"Well, she obviously had some influence on these pirates to stop their attacks. It was obvious she was exploiting the opportunity".

"So you are sure she wants us all dead? I hoped she would be willing to accept some of us as more pernament followers".

"Well you are a man, which puts you at a disadvantage there. There may just be some room for you under her domination, but I wouldn't enjoy it. Her default plan will be for you to help her, as she has pre-programmed things, until she disposes of you at the right time.
"Adelmo pays with fire. By rights- and no offence- all of you should have dwindled away to nothing over the years. But she had pulled you into galactic events- she gave you a way back. She opened that box to make use of you, but you are free if you can break her bonds. But if you want to do that, you have to play a smart game from now on."
