Ryder had been reading the reports when he received the coded message he had never expected to. The linkpearl it came through had been in his desk for years. Juliette's pearl had not made a sound since the Calamity. He completed his conversation with haste as the man on the other side signed out. Placing the pearl in his desk, taking back its place, he sat silent for a few minutes. Going over in his mind the reports crossing his desk. The reports that on their mission to transfer the tech they killed the contact and fled. Also came the orders Erik had shown him in the days before the mission, he agreed, they agreed that there were forces at work. Ryder had told his Captain to carry out his orders, but that should the obvious happen he would be reached just as Erik had reached him. They were in Coerthas, at least the Captain was. He would be able to take care of himself, but not his man Kahn'a. As per the official directives, the Black Chains were in the right of it. It was still imperative that things go as planned, that the rat was smoked out. He stood and left, heading toward the Black Chain's HQ. He had at least the right to speak with Kahn'a.
