Exactly. They really should let you in on things more if they're going to have you helping them out. They can make that call, right?
...
Yeah, they can.

Connections to someone important.

@Melodious

The one I’m not allowed to know about, I presume.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

As far as I'm aware. If it has anything else of value, I'd be shocked, since it was left abandoned, unguarded and untouched, and it's a place people knew existed.

@Melodious

Why were both of those opponents hunting you, then?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Because I know nothing. I'm not sure if the stuff I'm looking for is of interest to anyone who's a veteran of the trade.

@Melodious

Hm, so this houses basic information?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

They almost definitely weren't here for that. And even if they were, I'm sure it isn't a big deal.

@Melodious

It was sufficient to bring you here, no?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Squints in mild confusion*
... Sure.

@Melodious

In any case, I’m not convinced our opponents won’t return to collect that knowledge.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

How selfless. Are you always like this?

@Melodious

Unfortunately not. But for our purposes today, we can assume that will persist.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

You say that. The risk was there all the same.

@Melodious

Accurate. But risks to myself are substantially less critical than risks to Akora.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Says the guy who came down here literally alone.

@Melodious

Different circumstances.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Good thing she did bring a buddy then.

@Melodious

*Traces the obsidian wall as we make our way back*
These missions are far too dangerous to approach alone.
