<p>General Faizi taps the table. <b>"Let's take it one thing at a time. Stay on track with the poison."</b> The general then turns to Captain Othis. <b>"Regardless of the hubris these recruits may have, your job was to train them in the methods of the Ungrounded. The sabotage that you performed undermined the training of the recruits. Additionally, this teaches the recruits you had perform the sabotage the wrong lessons. This is not behavior becoming of an officer in the Ungrounded."</b></p>
<p>The General then listens to what both have saidconcerning the false Inysha incident, and she simply nods her head after Captain Othis has finished. She sighs, and then looks back to the party.</p>
<p>Then, Kala presents her evidence, the drawing of the false Inysha. The Captain quickly counters, <b>"If these Pathfinders couldn't pass my test about this with such an obvious deception, then perhaps they the Ungrounded doesn't need them. Soldiers must always be wary for false information the treacherous efreet slip into legitimate channels, and that providing a description of our esteemed general was a way of teaching that lesson which should humiliate only the most incompetent of recruits."</b></p>
<p>The general nods at what the Captain has said. <b>"Yes, they should have been able to figure that out. And since they did not accost me when I entered the casino it seems that they did. Certainly that was a good test that they passed."</b></p>
<p>In response to Krystiana's report on the caravan attack, the Captain responds, <b>“I don't see what bandits attacking a caravan has to do with me. Attacks on that route may be rare, but they still happen often enough for caravans to hire guards.”</b></p>
<p>To this, the General states, <b>"But, Captain, that may be true, but these bandits seem a little more organized than most,don't you think?"</b></p>
<p>The Captain sputters as Raynard claims his allegiance with the Aspis Consortium. The captain responds with <b>"My membership in the Aspis Consortium in no way interferes with her fulfillment of my duties to the Ungrounded, but that it has taught me the valuable lesson that Pathfinders are not to be trusted."</b></p>
<p>The General looks at her askance, then turns to the Pathfinders. <b>"Thank you for your honestly, recruits. You have presented some very compelling evidence."</b></p>
<p><b>"As for you,"</b> she says, turning towards Captain Othis with an icy glare, <b>"We will talk in a moment."</b></p>
<p><b>"You mean you..."</b></p>
<p><b>"Silence, Othis. You will waste no more of my time."</b></p>
<p>A pair of shaitan officers move in to escort Captain Othis out of the office and the General orders a formal investigation.</p>
<p>Once the captain is gone, she asks, <b>"Do you have any additional evidence that you wish to present against your former Captain?"</b></p>General Faiza bint Hanif and Captain Othis listen intently as they are railed from all sides at once, Krystiana laying it all out on the table.
