So you joined the Sea Patrol instead?

Because it's the unit that works most closely with the Hunters?

Yes... and monitors them.

The corvette is ready for you.

Alright.

Sorry, Irene. I shouldn't have bored you with my past.

It's fine.

Back to work. As the fleet battles the Seaborn, we must also locate the missing scientist for answers. The Sea Patrol's objective remains unchanged.

As for you, Irene. You're staying with us.

Wait, what for?

We won't be in the thick of battle, but it's still dangerous. It's the Sea Patrol's duty to keep you safe.

I appreciate it, Praefecta. But I'm good.

I'm not afraid of the Seaborn. Every Inquisitor has Seaborn blood on their hands.

<i>Former</i> Inquisitor, as I recall from your files.

I appreciate your assistance during the investigation. Like I said, you're sharp... and brave.

But you didn't come to Ægir to fight. Go back and stay with the other emissaries.

Are you implying that the war between Ægir and the Seaborn is beyond a land dweller's comprehension?

...Yes.

Your concerns are justified, but trying to comprehend is why I'm here.

There are many things I... as an Iberian, need to understand: Ægir, the Seaborn, true war, and everything that's happening in the depths of the ocean.

The land isn't far from here. Ægir has only a single city in this region, but beyond it lies the entirety of Iberia.

Don't worry, I don't intend to get myself killed at sea.

Such maturity at your age... You must have a good mentor.

From what I've heard, better than yours, at least.

...Prepare a set of deep-water equipment for Irene.

Let's go.
