I do agree that it is better to have a force within the imPort population to deal with threats at large. We are likely the only ones capable of fighting our numbers, truth be told. I have met Olivier Armstrong. She does not have the same sort of...diplomatic air that you possess.

[ So it's little surprise to him that it is Sabriel here doing the negotiations. ]

I have no doubt you and Major General Armstrong have the best of intentions at heart. But there is the recent incident with Yuri Petrov to consider. Knowing his past, he was still allowed to work within RISE -- what brought about that decision?

[ His tone of voice isn't critical, but more curious. Petyr Baelish wasn't about to be one to condemn working with known murderers, but there has to be logic behind it. ]

I'm not entirely sure- to be honest, hiring him is not something I would have chosen. I believe the Major General hoped to keep him on a leash, and direct his drives towards more... legitimate ends.

Obviously in hindsight, this turned out to be misguided.

Under the right circumstances, even dangerous people can be utilized. From what I know of the man, he is very justice oriented. A trait that would do well within RISE. But he also quite clearly will take that justice a bit too far. And it is unfortunate that he did and such a thing wound up reflecting negatively upon you.

I, personally, do not hold your organization accountable for this. In my opinion, it's extremely difficult to tell what a person is truly like when the porter can bring in some of the greatest liars and criminals right alongside the good and just. But I worry about the public opinion from the perspective of the imPorts. So perhaps to put their minds at ease, would you be willing to submit to an investigation? This would be headed by Count Dooku, and it will serve the function of proving once and for all that RISE is not corrupt with its power.

And in exchange, provided everything goes well, I will petition to the government to put the Helix Station in RISE's hands.

Yes, but given his prior actions within this world, I think a bit more caution might have been wise.

That would be the Major General's choice- and while I think it's a good idea, she generally doesn't have much patience for politics. But the prospect of Helix Station might be enough of an incentive.

One might wonder, given your diplomacy and willingness to compromise, why you are not leading RISE, Lady Sabriel.

I'm flattered, Lord Baelish, but there are several reasons. First is that the Major General formed RISE- and was able to do so, in no small part, thanks to her military experience and service with this government- she has their trust, and that is an advantage not only to her, but our entire community.

Second is the matter of my age- nineteen year olds are seldom given command of organizations in this world, whatever titles they hold in their own worlds.

Finally, the Major General has more experience than I with military command and running an organizatio- experience I am eager to learn from.

I have no doubt that the Major General makes for a great leader, particularly when it comes to missions and military matters. But sometimes experience alone is not enough, especially with this group of stubborn imPorts. You must show a willingness to compromise, and I do hope she will understand that when it comes to this investigation.

[ A pause. ]

That is a shame about the youth in this world. Not only are you a brilliant mind but you are well-spoken, well-mannered, and generally well-liked. Your willingness to do the right thing and be a hero are unmatched by a great many of our peers -- at least this is what I've been told when it comes to stories of your bravery.

I would hope if there ever came a time when the Major General either ported out or for some reason had to step down, you would rise against the obstacles to lead RISE in her place.

I'm flattered, Lord Baelish- but hopefully the day the Major General no longer leads RISE is long in coming.

But I will bring your suggestions to her.

I appreciate it, Lady Sabriel. May this put the concerns of the imPort population's minds at ease. We shall speak again soon.
