Hello, citizens of Etraya.

Our next mission will begin on Friday, May 16th. For this mission, we will not be heading off world as the last couple missions have required. Instead, the companion bots and I will be working over the next seven days to set up Camp Etraya on Ochreward for all of you to attend. This camp will include multiple activities which will be mandatory for you to participate in. Additionally, while I will not be creating a barrier between camp and the rest of Etraya, the expectation will be for all of you to remain within the camp's radius during your time at Camp Etraya.

However, I understand that some of you have come from Solmara, and there is some concern regarding my sibling's absence within our sister city. I too am concerned for their well-being, as well as the rest of the citizens of Solmara. I would like to shift some of my resources to send a team to Solmara to address this, but this is not in an official mission capacity. This is not required, and will be on a volunteer-only basis. I will only be able to allocate enough resources to support transporting fifteen individuals to Solmara. I can provide some basic necessities to assist you in your trip, but will not be able to provide much more in terms of support. You will be on your own as soon as you arrive within Solmara. You will need to rely on one another, and you will need to return with enough time to fulfill five days worth of camp activities to ensure you are not avoiding mandatory mission requirements. If you are unable to return on time, there will be repercussions.

Please inform me if you wish to assist the Solmarans here. If there are more than fifteen volunteers, I will select from those who request to go.

Thank you,
Aurora

I may not have superhuman abilities or magical powers, but I'm an excellent shot. With the rifle I have here, I can hit a target from 300 yards away; perhaps more, depending on the wind. [She's never killed a person before, but she hypothetically could.] I'm fast, and quiet.

I'm an investigator, as well. I can assess the situation on the ground and plan quickly.

If we have people capable of infiltrating the populace by means of deception, they can be tasked with information-gathering and reconnaissance. They can seek out those amongst the populace who are unhappy with Alrys' rule and would be willing to ally with us to overthrow her and return control to Aurora's sibling.

I can lead a second team of those with tactical and infiltration skills with two objectives:

• Assess Alrys' military capabilities and attempt to locate and, ideally, neutralise her, and
• Locate and free Borealis.

If this team needs to split up to accomplish these objectives, I imagine we'll have enough people with military training to do so.

If all goes to plan, we'll be able to depose Alrys, restore Borealis, and free those that Alrys has kept ground down under her heel. As long as we have a way of communicating with each other, we can coordinate details as we learn new information in Solmara.

Max said Alyrs has charming abilities. Sounds like if you're around her there's a chance she can convince you to be on her side

I think that's good for everyone to know as a problem.

[Oh no. Terrifying. Time for Caitlyn to pretend really hard that that isn't scary as hell and she's super calm and collected.]

We'll need any details Max can provide on her abilities, then. We either need to find a way to counter them, or rely on those who can handle her from far away.

[She keeps using euphemisms like 'neutralize' and 'handle' for Alrys because she really, really doesn't want to kill her. She'd much prefer to have her face justice and be imprisoned. But despite that, she's struggling to think of a way to 'handle' Alrys from far away that doesn't involve a bullet.]

Perhaps someone has magical abilities that could function at a distance to render her unconscious.

[ Gorgug is No Good at this planning stuff or putting forward any good input... but!! ]

That would be good. Maybe we'll have an easy time and we can take out her from far away.

A description of her would be good too.

I've asked Max for any further information he can give us.

Yes, we'll need a physical description of Alrys, of course. Perhaps there's a sketch artist in Etraya who could speak with Max and Dr. Romano to create a portrait of her.

Anything they can share about her usual whereabouts, movement patterns, and habits will also be of use.
