"Enough! As the highest ranking Inquisitorial agent here, I will be issuing orders and punishments. Now, seeing as this situation does not fall fully within my area of expertise, I am open to suggestions. However, I am accustomed to being given proper deference to my position. Those who don't are usually the ones I am sent to kill." He left the threat hang in the air before continuing. 

"I have taken the suggestion of splitting up under advisement, and find that it may be a better decision. We will split into two groups. The first group will be lead by Gaius; as he is the second highest ranking Inquisitorial agent here, respect his authority as if it were mine. Sergeant Adrian, Lieutenant Igam, Commissar Klemper and Corporal Yeshada will go with him. You will scout the western island village. Nothing too fancy, just recon it, see if its inhabited and who by. The map's census reports are about a century out of date, so we need fresh intel if we can continue. Take the vox-caster and the magnoculars with you. We will be able to stay in contact with you once we reclaim the listening post. Try to avoid conflict and detection. All we need is a little information. Going by the group that attacked us, I somehow doubt that the village is sympathetic to Imperial Law. Once you complete your objective, vox us and we'll send the raft over to the eastern coast here." Ray indicated a point on the map. "We can recon the north village tomorrow, and hopefully know a bit more on what to expect.

"The second group will consist of me, Techpriest Honoria, Grav and Trooper Radclyffe. We will take the raft and the supplies and set up base at the listening post."

[i]That should separate most of the troublemakers.[/i] Ray thought. His gaze rested on Trooper Radclyffe. [i]Could she really be...?[/i] Igam was clearly disturbed by her presence. He would have to keep them apart.
