The Raix Effect: Chapter 7
Krydul learns what the Crimson Blades were really after in their last assault: the raix weapon schematics. The Tej-Sheel plan to fool the Crimson Blades into acquiring false data for the weapon, in order to encourage them to betray the Tej-Brask for their raix.
Daily Mission Briefing
We've reviewed the research that we re-acquired, and the results look excellent. Though not quite ready, this is certainly the cure we've been looking for. Our plans now shift to a recent opportunity... with the Crimson Blades.
Mission Dialogue:
- I'm sure you are curious as to what it might be.
>Of course. Is this a result of our attacks on the Cutlass ships?
- Yes. You see, when we retrieved the data from their ships, we acquired more than just the research.
>Really... ?
- We pieced together a collection of their transmission logs. The Crimson Blades may actually be an asset for us in this war.
>I highly doubt that, Krydul.
- Hear me out. Their alliance with the Tej-Brask is not as sincere as we thought. The Tej-Brask had ordered them to destroy the research during the assault.
>But they didn't. They kept it. Why?
- The Blades misunderstood. They thought the research included designs and details on the raix weapon. Apparently, they want it very badly. Little do they know the difficulty in developing one.
>So this is why they joined the war...
- They could care less about the Tej-Brask. They are just here to take the technology, and whatever raix is left. They know that they will need the Tej-Brask's supply, but what else they may know of the weapon... we are not sure.
>Typical Crimson Blades.
- There's more. There are fragments of messages that suggest that the Blades were going to use their internal position to assault the primary Tej-Brask Raix Supply Matrix near the Capitol once they had the schematics.
>But they won't now, they don't have the weapon designs.
- Not yet.
>I don't follow...
- Their ships had queued orders to perform a follow-up attack on our research bases in Noirka. The attack will likely come soon.
>You're saying that they will find the weapon designs they are looking for there?
- No. I'm saying we should *let* them find the designs. We want them to think their incursion was a success.
>... And then the Crimson Blades will strike on the Raix Supply Matrix?
- Giving us a perfect chance to apply the cure, and take over the Capitol. The Tej-Brask would not be able to defend against a 3-pronged assault. It will be the perfect time to strike without risk of a counter-attack.
>And how are you going to convince the Crimson Blades that they have the technology, while actually keeping it frrom them?
- We will make some key changes to the algorithms, and omit some error correction details. Without our engineers it will be unlikely that they could construct a weapon in that state.
>The Crimson Blades are more than just pirates, Krydul. They are quite skilled with weapons.
- I assure you, they will not detect any sabotage in the data until it's too late.
>It will be very important that the Crimson Blades don't suspect any tamperring or interception.
- I know. We can't send any additional ships to defend those research bases. I'm aware of that.
>The bases will be lost. All of them. The Blades will not spare anyone.
- This is war, commander. We have made sacrifices before and we will continue to do so.
>So, what would you like us to do ?
- The Crimson Blades are more likely to attack the bases if we can provoke them into another counter-attack...
>You want us to assault another area? Somewhere with raix?
- No, not raix this time. There are a number of Tej-Brask refueling docks that we need to take out. When the final push comes, we need to limit their outside movements.
>We'll get right on it. Send us the coordinates.
- I can see the end to this war. The path is clear. We are close.
