You are seated in front of Captain Altug as she looks through your report before setting it aside. She takes a deep breath and shakes her head. "A terrorist attack on Zawame," she says angrily and looks at you for a moment. "And the worst thing is that they succeeded at it too," she says angrily. "I don't think I'll be hearing the end of this from my higher ups," she grumbles and looks at you again. "I'm sorry about what happened to your home. Must be have been terrible to see what happened," she says, her tone softening a little and you nod your head in agreement.

You ask Altug what's going to happen right now and she frowns slightly before saying, "First we need to find out how the Fiends got their hands on so many explosives. It's not like they've shown any inclinations towards technology until today. Even when they possess humans, their knowledge about human technology has always remained the same." You frown at her words, not liking the implication behind them. She stares hard at you and nods. "I don't like it either but it might be better to accept that someone out there is giving the Fiends some extra help."

The thought sends a slight chill down your spine.
