After lunch, Justin and Erica reported to Eric and Mia. Justin pulled out his notes and sat at his desk, while Erica sat next to Mia. Eric finished the document he was working on and looked up at Justin. "So, what did Hisha say to your proposal?"
"He agrees. He said he would do anything to ensure his family's safety. I think that he concluded that the Empire views him as a pawn, and something he taught me himself came to light during my sit-down with him. He had once explicitly told me that there are to be no loose ends in a mission. He realized that in this case, his family is a loose end."
Eric looked at Justin's notes in silence before turning to Michael. "Hey Mike, did you ever hear back from Ricky?"
Michael shook his head. "No. The last transmission I received was that they were keeping close watch on a dwarven facility. They do not know yet whether it is the facility where they are building the Ark's or not."
"I see."
