Sherpa was quick to turn his gaze over to Maria the moment she asked her question, simply nodding when he had heard the question.

"First and foremost because it is the will of the planetary governor," Sherpa answered simply, having expected the question.
"And his reasons are his own. I do not have any information as to what grand plan my lord may have for the miscreant, whether he wishes to parade him through the highest spires in chains or organize a spectacular execution."

He spoke in a calm fashion, remaining his neutral expression which he had kept ever since the start of the meeting.

Looking at the Callidus agent, Sherpa felt a sense of amusement at how the assassin played her innocent charade, and the contrast in which it had to what knowledge or assumptions were going on inside the head of the person behind Maria. He knew the Officio Assassinorum were masters of information and deduction, the intel profession being a natural partner to the art of murder.

"My lord does appreciate secrecy, and he does not reveal his plans until they are ripe for execution. That is how he has managed to rule this sector up until now. As for me, a member of his household; I do not ask his reasons. I merely follow his will."

Smiling, Sherpa scanned the rest of the group, eventually resting his eyes on Maria.

"Any further questions before we depart?"
