The H.E.L.M., The Moon's Orbit
The Guardian returns to the Star Chart for instructions.
Mithrax: Guardian… Eido has taken action that may endanger us all. She sent a message to Eramis. She invoked a ritual from the old crews: "words with empty hands." It is a type of parley, where no violence is permitted. Eido believes Eramis will follow the rules of her people. I am not so trusting. Should Eramis accept, I would ask that you accompany us. In the meantime, continue the fight. This may be a ploy, and we must not be fooled. I hope that she ignores Eido's request. But if she does not, know this: Eramis does nothing that is not to her benefit. A word can do more damage than a blade. And Eramis is skilled at wielding both.
