mental link | day :034

[ophidia]

[The mental impression that comes with the connection is clean, precise. Confident in reaching like this, touching so many minds at once. If anything there's a desire, simmering beneath, to press and push even further than one simple stated request.]

( I need everything we have on the Carpathans. )

[And he sounds like he expects to get it.]

( Or their boss could just be a dick. )

['Six of one, half a dozen of the other' seems to be the general sentiment creeping over the link. How often do rigid societal structures and tense political situations breed empathetic leaders?]

( Is there a reason you're asking? Beyond the obvious desire to know the players on the board and how they move. )

[The amount of times he's been asked that is getting tedious, but at least this guy isn't deliberately holding knowledge out of his reach or acting like he's already planning something nefarious.]

['Fair enough' is that metallic, blunted sensation - vague enough that it the thought doesn't shape fully into the words.]

( Most of what I know is in the dossier you were provided - there are rumors of a civil war there on the imperial moon, the Black Queen does as she wills, etcetera etcetera. Because their society has such rigid barriers, I'm afraid we don't have much information on the rank and file though I can tell you I know next to nothing about their envoy lead. ) [Which is... unusual, but perhaps nothing atypical. Hard to say.] ( Perhaps he is merely very minor nobility. )
