Spoiler While holding a wound he suffered in battle during the assault the crow looks at the now very different night sky in the shroud and muses to himself.
"These Eorzeans certainly have a talent for the mystical and unpredictable." As he looked at the object he thought briefly of the battles waged within Baelsar's Wall, he was sent over away from the main bulk of the attack to secure other areas vulnerable to attack. While he met with resistance it was nothing too substantial however still recovering from earlier injuries he sustained a new one in the middle of combat. After all was said and done he thought for an invasion force it was pretty bland until the night sky burst into light and the ball of light was above him. One of the soldiers ran over giving him a linkpearl and told him to leave the wall and head back into Eorzea saying the commander will contact him. The crow while knowing he was not paid for his last job quickly determined given the situation asking for pay at this instance would have been met with an all likely severe consequence so he simply left the wall and waited on the outskirts for the call where he would then, a safe distance from the hornets nest figure out his pay.

A ring on his linkpearl comes in and he responds
"Crow here, as you directed I repelled what I could of the invasion force and suffered minimal casualties on my side although it seems others were not graced with such luck. I do hope the empire does not want me to deal with that ball of light above the wall, should you even offer me a country I would not even know how to deal with it."
"That ball of light is matter for the empire not a mercenary." the voice says firmly and with a tinge of annoyance and anger. The crow did not blame him, the abruptness of the attack as well as the casualties and now an unknown entity looming overhead one of their military installations gives reason enough for the empire to have a new found cause for bringing Eorzea under its control. He smiled a bit since that meant there was more work to come, the voice over the pearl continued.
"In light of this new situation your new contract is to keep an eye on alliance movements as well continue what work you can on the resistance, it is clear with this attack the alliance wishes to further bolster its military strength by uniting with the people of Ala mhigo. You will have fewer resources available to you until the matter with this ball is resolved, communication will also be lessened as we cannot risk it being listened upon. Should you wish to contact us you will have to relay your information to the agents we have embedded already. When the matter of this ball is resolved you will be contacted promptly so that we may assign you a more appropriate task to make the Eorzeans lament this foolish incursion, until then you are to serve out your contract to its fullest in service to the empire."
"And my pay for the work and service comitted so far?" He said with a firmness and little fear
"You will be paid appropriately mercenary in time but the situation as it stands requires funding to repair the damage done by this incursion. If you wish to get paid then why don't you eliminate the resistance and the alliance while you are at it, you claim to be the best in your field so prove it. If you can't then shut up and do your job, don't forget your place outsider." the pearl goes silent
The crow laughs as he looks up at the sky "If not careful you may need such outsiders more than you care for if things continue to get more out of hand." He turns and begins walking into the shroud while thinking how to carry out his job and earn his pay.
