Stop right There, Arbiter. Though I am
0:32
here on official business, I would
0:33
prefer to keep this cordial. The consul
0:36
seeks answers related to your recent
0:38
activities. I approach you openly in the
0:41
hopes that you will comply with his
0:43
request and come with me peaceibly.
0:46
I What do you
0:51
blather about? Delay me and you will pay
0:54
the price. Not only do I have more
0:56
pressing business with a colleague, but
0:58
I do not answer to sentinels or the
1:01
console.
1:02
His loss. I heard auntie's in the market
1:04
for a big dumb winsome bodyguard. He'd
1:08
be paid handsomely in sprat and
1:10
backhanded compliments.
1:22
Questions of intent.
1:24
Now, what shall it be? Arbiter Ralph, I
1:28
sent the message that drew you here.
1:30
Virgil shall not arrive to aid your
1:32
decision-making.
1:33
Virgil's not coming, you say. Curious.
1:37
And here I was, thinking I was already
1:39
present.
1:40
Virgil, touting your flare for the
1:42
dramatic, even now, I see. But I fear
1:46
our reunion must wait until we've dealt
1:48
with this pawn of the console.
1:50
I had not expected a third party, but it
1:53
is so much the better. I'm afraid you
1:56
must come with me as well, Arbiter
1:58
Montag.
1:59
A sentinel demanding anything of me.
2:01
What madness. Neither Tristan nor I
2:04
shall accompany you anywhere. Any
2:06
attempts to force us shall be met with
2:08
violent reprisal.
2:25
I'm sure he only told you such a thing
2:27
to lower your guard. All the easier to
2:30
slide a blade between your ribs. This
2:32
fool impersonated my credentials,
2:35
triggering a system alert that led me
2:37
here. A lowly deception even for one of
2:40
the console's own. It was a necessary
2:43
deception and one not undertaken
2:45
lightly. Its aim was to draw your
2:47
colleague here without bloodshed, for I
2:50
know he would not have arrived at my
2:52
request.
3:01
Your explanation does not pull my
3:03
heartstrings, Sentinel. Yet you at least
3:06
had the sense not to assail us outright.
3:09
Surrender and perhaps you may yet live.
3:12
You may not believe me, but I have much
3:14
admiration for the work you and Arbiter
3:16
Montag have done for the protectorate. I
3:19
have no wish to fight. Enough loyal
3:21
subjects have died in this war. Come
3:24
willingly and peaceibly, I beseech you.
3:35
It's possible this is a ploy and the
3:38
console is on to Virgil and I. But if
3:41
that is so, why lure me here then meet
3:44
me openly when Peralt could have
3:46
ambushed me from behind?
3:48
Are you mad? Because he seeks to lower
3:51
your guard than strike. Surely you don't
3:54
intend to converse with him about it.
3:56
I trust Sentinels no more than you. But
3:59
I am using this situation to gather
4:01
information, which I would expect you
4:03
would also do if you weren't so focused
4:06
on heranging me.
4:15
I appreciate the support. Though we are
4:17
not related by blood, I suppose we are
4:20
just as want to bicker with one another
4:22
as true brothers.
4:24
Conversation is not likely to distract
4:26
me from my purpose. I am here to kill no
4:29
one. But unless there has been some kind
4:31
of mistake, you must still submit to me.
4:45
Um, very well. But be warned, I'm not
4:49
exactly trained in the art of
4:51
improvisation.
4:53
We'll need a very good reason for my not
4:55
answering the console summons.
5:05
Come now, do you expect me to believe
5:07
that? Not only are you not in shackles,
5:10
but you're also still alive. I can't
5:13
imagine Arbiter Ralph would have allowed
5:14
that willingly.
5:28
Yes, we were going to find their stash
5:31
of of contraband protectorate rations
5:35
with all the labels crossed out.
5:38
Architect preserve us.
5:42
I see. It would appear I misjudged this
5:46
situation after all. I must reinterpret
5:49
my orders. Accosting you illegally, and
5:51
the subsequent punishment would be
5:53
mortifying.
5:54
So, he has chosen not to attack, but the
5:56
situation has not changed. We spare him.
5:59
His master gains another tool to cover
6:01
up the Supreme Arbiter's death.
6:03
What are you talking about? I do not
6:05
seek to hide the Supreme Arbiter's
6:07
death. I seek to find her killer. Such
6:10
was next on my list of duties after I
6:12
apprehended you.
6:29
No, my earlier reluctance to kill this
6:32
sentinel does not denote trust. There's
6:35
no guarantee he wouldn't attempt to
6:37
arrest us at a later point.
6:39
This is all clearly a tactic on the
6:41
console's behalf. By sending out his
6:43
agents, he seeks to deflect suspicion
6:45
from himself. That is, if our
6:48
compatriate here speaks true.
6:50
What must you think of me or my fellow
6:53
sentinels that you'd even suggest I'd
6:55
lie to orbiters? I'm not the one
6:57
positing scurless accusations about our
6:59
beloved console. But you needn't take me
7:02
at my word. My next assignment was to
7:04
investigate the Oculus collating post. A
7:07
hidden room there may contain
7:09
information pertinent to the
7:10
investigation.
7:23
Are you mad? Why do you intend to place
7:26
yourself into what could readily be a
7:28
trap? The console cannot be trusted, and
7:31
this sentinel is his lackey.
7:33
It's a risk worth taking. I can endure
7:36
whatever the console sends my way. And
7:38
if there is a minuscule chance that this
7:40
sentinel speaks true, we
7:45
must investigate.
7:47
I'm pleased to be of service in some
7:50
manner or another. Protectorate subjects
7:52
should aid one another.
8:06
Secret is a misnomer. The room appears
8:09
to have been built by mistake, but
8:11
someone forstalled its demolition
8:13
without marking it on station
8:15
blueprints.
8:16
This is what is suspect. I will take my
8:19
leave of the lot of you and in peace. It
8:22
is my sincere hope that circumstances
8:24
are as you claim, lest we be forced to
8:27
meet again. I shall follow him out just
8:30
to certify he intends to act as he
8:33
speaks.
8:38
That's done with. He left peaceibly as
8:41
he said, though I have my doubts for how
8:44
long.
8:45
That was some impressively savvy
8:47
improvisation before, commander. Without
8:50
you, circumstances would have certainly
8:52
devolved into a battle to the death.
9:05
I'll spare you my doubts for the eenth
9:08
time, Tristan. I just hope the risk is
9:11
worthwhile.
9:12
I appreciate your caution, but it is
9:14
quite unnecessary. My comrade and I will
9:17
look into Oculus collating post.
9:31
Yes, but never for long. And it's been
9:34
many years. I also have no recollection
9:37
of any hidden room. So, we may have some
9:41
hunting to do. I regret we've not had
9:43
more time to talk, Virgil. It has been
9:46
ages.
9:47
Worry not. I'm certain we'll have plenty
9:49
of time to converse when you finished
9:51
your investigation. I have several leads
9:53
of my own to pursue, as a matter of
9:54
fact, until our paths cross again, my
9:57
friend.
10:02
I shall make certain no other puppets of
10:04
the console yet seek us. On your way.
