"You're sure this is suitable for us?"
"Absolutely a governor always has these private studys. No one interrupts us, no one can listen in, and best it still has the late govenor's private stock. Have some, it'll help calm your nerves, especially after the hell of today. Now come, let's debrief each other. I'll go first. That was not the Hegemony. That was obviously a cult, and I know for a fact the Hegemony does not deal with cults no matter how desperate they are. Question is what are they a cult of? Your turn."
"Oh, ah. Well, this cult, seems to be fascinated with me. Simply because I'm a mix breed of a bunch of races."
"Well that narrows it by a lot."
"It does?"
"Yes. In all the Empire, there are about a thousand cults active at any time. Of those thousand, only a dozen or so mean any real harm to the Empire, and of them, only a few have the resources to do what happened last night. Is there anything else you may know that may help narrow the list?"
"They seem to like speaking this prophecy. Something about the One and bones of Three or something."
"And now I know who they are."
"Really?" Who?"
"Cult of the One Master. Or just 'One Purpose' as they call themselves. They are all over the place, in both the Empire and the Hegemony. They have an unknown number of cabals hidden throughout the known world and probably have a membership count in the hundreds of thousands. I'm sure some must be very influential people because they have resources to match even the Empire's entire war effort. Do you know why they would be interested in you in particular? Why you and not any of the other mix breeds in the city(me included)?"
