This is Darth Imperius. I will be brief.

By now you've presumably all heard the details of Karsa's proposal. I don't have her ability to block out extra ears, so if you haven't, take it up directly with her.

I intend to organize our half of this operation. Some of you have already told me you're coming, but I would like a count of heads to know the size of our force and what skills we'll have at our disposal. We will likely be taking point on the more dangerous part of this op, so if you cannot fight, stay home. I will speak with you all about the schedule in person and deliver a full briefing on the day of.

Any actionable details or useful intelligence are welcome, preferably not over the quartz. Bai Mingyu or Eleven generally know where to find me.


[ Anyone is welcome. If you already signed up OOCly to participate, feel free to assume your character volunteered offscreen rather than replying here. Arche will be delivering info about scheduling and operational plans to everybody offscreen for players' convenience.

I will have to pause tags on this at some point but I'll be back tomorrow (Sunday)! ]

[ once again his brows shoot to the sky, with a look of mingled surprise and interest ]

So when you say nonhuman -- you mean non-sentient? Animals, creatures?

[ He strokes his chin thoughtfully with a gloved hand. No skepticism about the idea, apparently, but Xunxian can probably already see the gears turning in his head as he tries to make sense of the description and calculate how this might be used to best benefit. ]

And they can collect such detailed information? Hm. I had no idea. Fascinating--... [ he's filing this thought away to take back home later. He can think of a couple spy friends of his acquaintance who'd jump at such a thing. ]

Oh. But I should ask your name.

... well, if they have a language, they would not be entirely non-sentient, would they? But yes, in what I believe is the spirit of what you asked. Birds, rodents, insects, fish, for example - if I ask, they will answer.

As to how detailed the information they can give is, that depends. There are some birds I am familiar with back home who will know how to find specific people that I spend time with, for example - with those I am less acquainted with, I need to be able to explain. [ Xunxian's eyes crinkle in a smile. ] And what a place of food is like, they would naturally know and easily talk about - as well as other places where they live. Truly, it can make people uncomfortable, hence preferring to talk about it with fewer ears listening, at first.

[ He cups his hands in front of his chest in polite though not overly formal greeting. ]

Surname Su, called Su Xunxian.
