[Video - Arrival]

[generalgrievous]

[A skull-like being appears on the network - but no, it's not a human skull and it isn't the creature's actual head. Instead it is some sort of mask, through which yellow eyes glare angrily. These are the only part that looks to be truly alive, however. Much of the rest of his body is hidden by a cloak wrapped around his shoulders, but what other parts that can be seen are robotic, yet skeletal - including a claw-like hand currently clutched into a fist. Some may be able to tell he's some sort of alien cyborg. His metallic voice is harsh.]

Where are these so-called City Guardians and your military operations?

Your explanations are not satisfactory. It was a mistake to bring me here and I demand that you return me to my ship at once.

[generalgrievous]

I trust you will keep your eyes and ears open for any critical information and report it back to me.

[Cassian may notice Grievous is already treating him like someone under his command. But respectfully somebody he can rely on.]

[captain_by_the_book]

[He does notice... and feels conflicted emotions at it, but that's to analyze once he's got time to brood.]

Of course, sir. I will continue to observe, and learn.

[generalgrievous]

Good, good.

If there anything else you can tell me now?

[captain_by_the_book]

[He thinks for a moment. Things he should tell yes but none he feels he can tell.]

Not at the moment, sir. I'd recommend you take your time to acclimatize yourself, you can stay here for a month before you need a place of your own. I'll stay in touch and... it's good to have you here.

[Maybe. Or maybe terrible. But a General to take orders from is a welcome piece of normal life.]

[generalgrievous]

[He nods.]

Then I will look around and find out what else I can until I hear from you again.

[It sounds a little like a dismissal. For now.]

[captain_by_the_book]

Of course.

[Dismissal noted. He nods at Grievous, and starts to walk away. He'll have a lot to think about now. This is a blast from the past Cassian sure hadn't counted on.]
