Report in Scarlet

Report: Negotiations with Inquisitor Marda
Sergeant Taneel BrightBlade

The negotiations with the scarlet inquisitor were quite tense. I will admit that diplomatic negotiations are not my strong point, and if I had not had Dragoon Larosa with me, it should have ended disastrously.  

I told Marda that we were in the area to find a missing dragoon and not to spy, and Larosa informed her that we were under orders not to enter the Scarlet’s territory and that Staroda had broken orders in doing so and would be reprimanded on his retrieval. Marda agreed to this, and said she would speak with her superiors on this matter but suspects Staroda Skymane can be returned within a few days., Larosa also attempted to convince her to return Delphiee on the grounds that it was the dragoons responsibility to take corrective actions since, though her initial actions were on leave, her actions now reflect on the dragoons.

Larosa will be remaining at Light’s Hope for further negotiations and has requested written copies of orders and discipline papers for Delphiee and Staroda so she can present them to Inquisitor Marda as proof. Make sure the terms of arrest state alive.

Taneel nodded to Larosa, letting her review it before moving to submit the report. Slipping an addition slip of parchment into the envelope he was sending to the commander when he was out of eye sight.
