When we crossed paths, I was initially doubtful of your silly claims, I knew everyone but did NOT know you? A person who the problem child was NOT a problem towards? The only logical conclusion was that you did not belong to this world, and so I debated exiling you on the spot for being some warped interstellar miscreant. But then.. I had an awakening... and as we discussed affairs over dinner.. I came to realize, this is what the Mallartauds needed..."
"This is what /I/ needed...."
"A neutral party to annihilate the rebellion and take the fall,

"And the rest.. well Mr. Calemson, /you did the rest for me/. The Mallartauds are of no issue to me any longer, and I can continue to reign as the lord of this municipality. I wonder though.. where does that leave you?"
