He has been stripped of his responsibilities and is under an internal investigation. I will involve the Imperial authorities only if absolutely necessary.

Do you have a decoded document for me? You'll have to decode it yourself, I'm not too fond of busywork.

This is clearly an East Empire Company document, but it's of no use to me if I can't read it. Perhaps if you found a corresponding code book, you might be able to decipher it. If you did so, and brought the decoded document to me, I would make it worth your while.

You found this code book in the barracks? That is hardly evidence of wrongdoing. Perhaps one of the guards enjoys puzzles! But if you could apply this code book to a note written in East Empire Company cipher, and bring me the decoded document, then... well, then you have evidence.

Do... do you have something? If you don't, then you are wasting my time.

Then we have nothing to talk about.

Have you brought the evidence I asked for?

If the East Empire Company has a mole in my organization, as I suspect, then there will be a paper trail. It is up to you to find it. Look first in their Firewatch headquarters. The factor, Zaren Hammebenat, is as conniving as he is lazy: exactly the kind of person to leave incriminating documents lying about. Then search around our building here, perhaps someone left a paper trail here as well.

Captain Jorval has displayed a disappointing ineptitude of late: the raid on our vault being the prime example. Is corruption another of his failings? I do suspect that something foul has taken root in my organization. A mole, funneling secrets to our rivals at the East Empire Company. Perhaps Captain Jorval is that mole, perhaps not. You're going to help me find the truth.

He is captain of the Company's private guard. I trust him implicitly.

I share your opinion of Jorval's low character. He has always struck me as a man without honor. But, sadly, dishonor is not an offence over which the Imperial Legion has jurisdiction.

I'm afraid what's good news for Helnim is bad news for you. Everything in this ledger appears to be above board. Whatever illicit activity Caedan Jorval is engaged in, it is not with the consent of his superiors. But as long as those superiors continue to protect him, I cannot even bring him in for questioning without seriously rocking the boat here in Helnim, and I won't do that on the basis of your accusations alone.

I haven't finished inspecting the ledgers yet. And I won't be able to if you keep hanging around in the fort, asking questions.

I have heard about the death of one of the Company's guards. I can only assume this was your doing. You must pay for that crime, as the law demands. But you have done Helnim a service. Give me the ledgers and some time to look over them, then come back tomorrow and I will be able to tell you if there is anything we can do about Caedan Jorval. Now, I will need to process you officially...

Thank you. With these I should be able to confirm whether the Zafirbel Bay Company is involved in the criminal activity plaguing Helnim. It was an ill deed, but done for the right reasons. We cannot stand idly by while Helnim suffers. Come back to me tomorrow, once I have looked over these ledgers, and I will tell you if we can do anything about Caedan Jorval.

You've brought me one ledger, but it's of no use to me without the other.

There's little I can do about Caedan Jorval, until you do.

Do you have the ledgers I asked for?

I need you to bring me two things. Firstly, one of the Company's everyday business ledgers. These are used by clerks all the time, so it shouldn't be hard to find one lying around the building. I need that so I can cross-reference it with the second thing you're getting for me: the Company's master ledger. I expect that will be secured in the Company's underground vault. I don't know -- and I don't want to know -- how you're going to acquire that. Just try not to get anyone killed.

You claim that Caedan Jorval is behind much of the criminal activity plaguing Helnim. Did you bring any evidence? No? That's too bad. Something is rotten in Helnim, and I've long suspected the Zafirbel Bay Company to be the source, but without evidence my hands are tied. I have tried to speak with the Factor, Disela, about my concerns, but she is protective of her company and its secrets. I am out of options. There is only one thing for me to do. And you're going to help me.

He won't be a problem for us any more.

He's the captain of the Zafirbel Bay Company's private guard, and totally corrupt. He pointed us at the right targets, and kept the law off our backs. He was the one who pushed us into the Tel Gilan job, and I'm certain he's responsble for the heat we're under now. It's only a matter of time before his cronies kick down our door, and then we're done for.
