I am flowing with magnanmity. Can't say
0:10
I know what that word means, but if
0:12
you're inclined to keep threatening me,
0:14
stranger, seen my fix? Hope you're about
0:17
to offer to rid me of this damn fool.
0:20
You cannot dissuade an arbiter from
0:22
their sovereign given duty, no matter
0:24
how much of an irritant you may attempt
0:44
are you threatening me or attempting to
0:47
woo me? I would be irritated by the
0:49
former and baffled by the latter, even
0:53
if your misplaced bravado has the
0:55
slightest charm to it.

I came to meet with the information
1:02
broker for um protectorate business
1:09
protectorate reasons. However, I find
1:12
myself foiled at near every turn. None
1:15
within the protectorate would defy an
1:17
arbiter and expect to live. Regrettably,
1:20
I cannot make the locals see reason
1:22
without rendering myself unable to learn
1:25
what I seek. Even polite intreaties
1:28
don't see most getting an invite to the
1:29
broker. And you've been anything but.
1:55
I am hardly bending the rules, as you so
1:59
put it, as we orbiters may operate
2:02
however we see fit. I appreciate the
2:05
observation, however. Hardly expected
2:08
such from an outsider.
2:10
Say whatever you want, but trusting this
2:12
fella, even this close to the broker, is
2:14
a massive risk. Be a damn fool to take
2:32
an arbiter need prove themsself to no
2:34
one but the sovereign. But if I must
2:37
debase myself to further my aim, so be

Interesting thought. Occurs to me there

might just be something that needs

Within the Golden Ridge local on Dorado,
2:53
there's a refugee camp. It's unassuming,
2:56
quietlike. Most of the folks there just
2:58
want to be left alone. They see to the
3:00
few needs they have by working with the
3:02
broker, but we ain't heard from them in
3:04
a fortnight and change. Serves to reason
3:07
something untoward may have transpired
3:09
there. You see your way to looking into
3:11
that. Maybe we'll talk.
3:23
Great. Take the lab painted with you.

I've had enough of his excitability and
3:27
sell of my customers.
3:29
I don't claim to be pleased with the
3:31
circumstances surrounding this
3:33
co-investigation, but perhaps we may
3:36
surprise one another. I'm Arbiter

When I was an apprentice, yes, but not

since, and certainly never with an

hope we both arrive there intact.

I shall see you at the refugee camp.

Hopefully, they shan be grinned by my
