Dude... Seriously? How do you think i became a director of a spying agency?!
Nepotism? Being hired as a manager? I don’t know, kings don’t always make for the best soldier. *Reaches into a black void and withdraws a pair of gauntlets that I strap onto my wrists*
Well... *I grin passionately* Let's just say i used to direct a private spying corporation for the Terran Dominion which you probably know nothing of i presume... Basically i'm as good of an expert in stealth as they come...
You ever do field work? *Moves my finger through the air as if interacting with something invisible*
Does this look like concealment? *I snap my fingers and a burst of fiery light renders me so invisible, that even the magic senses can no longer perceive me or the tesseract - Yet i keep talking from my invisibility* Yes, i built my ship to be able to do the friggin same!
What’s with you and your— *Shakes my head* Never mind. We’re going to need to keep ourselves hidden.
Huh? Are you serious? Do you have space-phobia or something? Yes, my sweet ship can hide and sneak and fly undetected... What's wrong with you?
*Pinches the bridge of my nose* The question isn't about your ship. I don't care about your ship. I care about whether you can conceal your own presence.
How about anything for me showing you the literal spaceship i crafted with it? *I snap my fingers for our ship to appear wherever the doors open from the tavern*
*Chugs straight from my bottle seeing that nobody wants to partake and shrugs carefree before continuing in telepathy* Wellp, remember, i'm the cat with 9 lives here... just remember when you get targeted by who know what out here...

Yeah we're good little fellow. Let's get going then, as i'm keen on seeing this mystery for myself, i'm growing bored otherwise. We can talk on the way...
*Downs the last of my mead with a swift gulp and wipes off my mouth with my arm* Sure, sure. So are you two good at magic? Anything for flying low and quiet?
*sighs in resignment and communicates telepathically* Pal! Have you forgotten to not go into our past here? You just told me a mere few hours ago about this before we did the whole exploration of space fiasco!
<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>
*Responds back the same way* That’s nowhere close to revealing anything!
Okay then, let's talk about this mission, and about what your plans are, it seems we pretty much know squat about the thing...
<Snipped quote by Meta>
Phhh... Okay, here you go... *I proceed to place the tesseract on the counter and @Source you can also see it now because i willed it so* If you can interact with my so called artifact, we'll talk some more about magic then! *I grin with false innocence*
Scoping missions are our bread and butter. We get in, stay low-key, investigate, and get out without ever being seen. No unnecessary combat, no conflict.
