"Orders? I'd advise diplomacy."

"Do you advise anything else? Because you've said the same thing a few times."

Does the Drone work inside? Let's see if we're getting any additional data points for translator. Remember squad, comms only, don't directly respond to the Vampire Magic users.

377
Huh. Weird. Either the walls have wards to prevent Soul Sight, which begs more questions, or the things in there don't have Souls. Time to head up stairs then. Usual amount of caution and such, make sure the walls along the stairs and the stairs themselves aren't trapped. Check up especially.

378
Ratodx shrugs at the SkeleButler's indifference to his attempts to communicate and does a scan around.

"I don't think it would be a good idea to linger too long now that we're inside."
"I'd advise we follow it's instruction. Orders?"
"We should keep an eye open. I think there might be multiple secret passages in this manor."

"Indeed Dexter. We'll do a scan around before heading upwards. Melnakos, take another crack at those Wards, see if you can figure out what they do specifically. They still on everything? Mako, Khaiden, what do you have scan and Soul Sight wise? Make sure to check above, below, and around. Vhan, if you could mark off those passages over HUD?"

If no new intel is provided, we'll head upstairs.

"Oh good. I was afraid I'd be violationg some sort of ancient code. Anyway, I have NO idea about Dragon lifecycles or anything about that. I have a strange desire to hoard shiny things and socks, but why exactly would I do that?"

"Why do rivers flow? Why do Vampires feed? Why do trees grow? Why do [UNTRANSLATED]? These all hold the same answer as your question." Alex then resumes the 835th season of How It's Made and watches.

380
"I'm human. Or at least, I was human."

"....And?" Alex seems to have no idea why this was needed to be brought to his attention.

381
"Eldar, I haven't been exactly truthful to you..."

Alex pauses the video and turns his head towards Frazz, raising an eyebrow in question.

382
Frazz finds Alex lounging on a rather composed of metal looking bed, watching videos of the manufacturing processes of various items. The Narrator has a rather calm and measured voice as he describes the methods and means involved in the production of said items.

383
Khaiden whispers in Ratodx's ear:
"Try to get them to pay Akras for repairs and promise as little as possible other than what's been agreed. Remember, you're representing Akras and Akras doesn't like paying for more than they have to."

PM: "We have private channels which are infinitely less noticeable than whispering in my ear. As we've both seen, repairs on that level cost next to nothing to Akras, so we can afford to seem generous. It sets up better diplomatic relations as well."

384
"Found a smart one. No shooting them yet. If we do need to, aim for the head and try to converse ammo. We'll follow after and try to encourage them to talk more until the translator finishes its thing."

@SkeleButler: "Apologies for the mess. Those we represent be able to have that repaired. Can you continue to talk at or to us until our machine finishes processing your language?" Ratodx will continue saying that and pantomiming what he's saying until the SkeleButler understands that Ratodx wants em to talk more and complies.

385
Well, it's either a Vamp, a Skeleton, a Banshee, or maybe a Zombie? The Lizard will be able to act as a buffer anyway. Wait for it to do whatever it's doing. If it doesn't open the door, Khaiden is to give a location report on it.

386
Check for Wards and Souls. If they are nonconclusive, the Lizard knocks on the Door. An eye is to be kept on the Armor. General awareness is to be had.

387
"Obviously keeping that many dangerous creatures puts the responsibility on the home owners. Imagine keeping them in a room they could escape from so easily. We didn't even do anything and they escaped, meaning we had to use an explosive devise to defend ourselves. Which is why things are the way they are now."

"A good spin on it, but I don't see them being anything more than pests if they don't end up getting eaten by something."

388
"Considering what Akras is doing, any people attacked are potential resources."

"Fair point. But if they don't know well enough to deal with some sky vermin, they wouldn't have been better than printing off a clone in their place. And if theu do survive, then they might seek out the cause, which would lead them to Akras. So this might lead new Akras personnel in any case."

389
"If the escaped Viza cause problems who's responsible? I'm not questioning your decision, I would not want those to be attacking me, but I'd advise we figure this out."

Ratodx shrugs. "If someone can't deal with some sky leeches then that's on them, not us. And it's not like they'd do anything to any Akras personnel or holdings."

390
Huh indeed. Sounds like their wards work for Kinetic energy but not Heat. Useful. And it cleared out those Viza which were hiding in there somehow. We'll wait for it to cool down in there and then head in. If a grenade doesn't activate the Skeletons then we might be fine. The lizard will lead us inside though, per usual.
