[Her emotions linger somewhere between worried and pissed off and this is clearly visible on her face. as the camera focuses on her. She takes a deep breath, trying to keep the red from bleeding into her eyes, but if one looks closely, they will be able to see that her normal emerald green eyes are slightly more brown in color as they are stuck somewhere between the two colors.]

It seems that not all of Malicant's influence is gone from Tu Vishan. [she takes a deep breath] I spoke with someone who claimed to be one of his worshipers. Now I know that claiming to be one and actually being one are two different things, but I spoke with this person after they attempted to steal a soul gem.

[She presses her fingers to her forehead and closes her eyes, as if trying to warn off a headache]

For those of you who remember the cultists, you know how dangerous they were. [she lowers her hand and opens her eyes, which have returned to their emerald state] This person claimed that 'her people' made a deal with 'someone in this very city'. She also warned that they 'haven't forgotten Malicant' and that we foreigners would 'pay for killing him.' Either the cultists are connected with the muggings, or someone wants us to believe that they are. Either way, someone is using Malicant's name to gather power.

[another breath]

This, paired with other recent events, leads me to believe that it is not the Chihuelans that are responsible for the muggings. Something else is going on here.

You are lucky that it is nothing more than a story for you...I lived it, and the horrors Malicant inflicted upon Keeliai are beyond any story.

...don't get me wrong. I believe you.

But without some more information, I can't understand.

What exactly do you wish to know?

What, exactly, are we facing here?

When we faced them in the past, these cultists were dangerous only in their fanatical devotion to a world destroying demon. That, and their access to weapons which were tipped with the enemy's poison. Poison which later enabled him to try to control our bodies and minds.

But if that enemy is dead...could someone else use that...'poison'?

[it's hard for him to imagine. but honestly, considering the proof that came with the temporary loss of his soul gem...well, he's believing a bit more.]

I don't know. If they could, they probably would have used it by now instead of simply using Dust.

'Dust'?

A drug that is associated with Malicant. It is a nasty thing. Disorienting. It makes people more prone to violence, among other things.

Sounds like something just as bad. What does it look like?

It is aptly named...it looks like Dust.

That's only so helpful. Should I worry about an unswept corner?

No, you generally have to inhale it for it to cause a problem.

[key word is 'generally']

It isn't the worst of Malicant's drugs though.

What else do we have to look forwards to?

I've switched to radio because I don't want the Kedan knowing that I know.

[a brief pause]

There was another drug...I don't know how widely distributed it was, or if it is still in circulation, but it was quite unpleasant.
