You say, mentally noting to check about Bordec nobility laws when you'fe back at the office.
"Oh, thank you, uncle! Yes, I'm fine with that." The young noble replies enthusiastically.
"Before that, though, can you give me more information about her? Just 'I saw her on television' is not enough, I'm afraid."
"Ah, indeed, uncle. I remember three things about her:
One, she wears glasses. I don't remember the exact model, but she looks elegant that way.
Two, she has this accent that just hits right, from how she spoke on TV.
Three, she was on TV, I see her kinda often when I tune to the Konami channel. That's all I could remember..."
"Well, good enough for an inquiry. I'll talk to you later, Treytak."
You close the line, looking at the soldiers ready for orders, sitting in the APC with you.
Remembering operation Favela Cookout and how these mercs may have heavy weaponry, Zayyine or otherwise, you order for the soldiers to dismount from their APCs - as well as you, because the APC might turn out to be a death trap. As such, you also order the heli to provide cover from a higher altitude. You order for the soldiers to approach from the woods to the north of the camp.
So far so good, they haven't been spotted yet. They report seeing two mercenaries discussing weapon calibers close to the edge of the woods, close to where the soldiers' entry point is supposed to be.
Just before you join them, The Phone rings again. Julia is on the other end.
"Sir, news about Solaire - he hit his next target - but left him alive."
In a condensed summary, and later on in detail back at your office, you receive a report that the investigative team had tracked Solaire's third target, the elusive lumberjack Kruger Junkers. They arrived to Kruger, hand pinned by a Bordec-made bayonet and bleeding on a table. Kruger was in emotions, and repeated "I'm sorry" over and over.
