DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, DESTROY THE BRANDING DEVICES KNOWN AS TRACKING CHIPS. It will alert the Masked of their destruction. They will find you, and re-chip you. The second place where they insert another chip, your spine, makes it harder and dangerous to remove. [ You know who found that out the bad way? This RomanImperial. Now he's chipped too, beating himself up for his lack of foresight. ]

Please, avoid confrontation. There isn't a way to beat them, at least not yet. [ Martin swears to his gods he'll pay them back, somehow. ]

[a look of genuine concern!]

And you're certain of this?

Absolutely. [ Magic and strength were useless. ]

[selfloyalty]

And they accost you as soon as you leave the safety of your assigned living quarters...

Very well. Thank you for this information, no matter the circumstances of which you discovered it.

I was attacked in my quarters.

It's nothing. I hope you are more cautious than I was.

[selfloyalty]

So this group is growing bolder, then? Certainly not a good sign.

Yes. I'm afraid to think of what they might try next.

[selfloyalty]

There is always a means to overcome an opponent. If remaining indoors is no longer safe, then this is perhaps something we cannot simply sit out as it had been previously planned.

Of course, but we don't know enough about the Masked yet. I'm sure the only reason I and my flatmates were attacked was because we destroyed one of the chips. [ Nope, not naming his room mates. ]
