The Raix Effect: Chapter 3

After being granted an audience with the Tej-Sheel, it is clear that their war with the Tej-Brask is far from over. The Tej-Sheel continue to be extremely secretive about their weapon, but try to offer assurances that the danger to <<Your Race>> colonies will be minimal during the war...

Daily Mission Briefing

We've managed to contact a representative from the Tej-Sheel. They were initially reluctant to speak with us, but eventually sent an envoy, Krydul, to answer some questions. See if you can find out more about the weapon... and this war.

Mission Dialog

Krydul: Your government is quite persistent. How may I be of assistance, commander?
We were initially drawn here by the raix explosion, and have spoken with the Tej-Brask.

Krydul: Hmmm. And what kind of lies did they tell you?
Is it true you are both waging a war over the raix supply ?

Krydul: Yes, but for good reason. The Tej-Brask have been using raix to subdue the population.
How so ?

Krydul: Through forced rationing and dependence coercion. We've been trying to develop technology that could help us reduce or eliminate our reliance on it... but they have made that quite difficult.
What are they doing ?

Krydul: They attack our research facilities. We've had some initial success, but the Tej-Brask stop at nothing to prevent or slow our progress.
Why would they want to stop this research ?

Krydul: As I've already said, they are using raix to control the population. This research is important, but is a threat to their power.
So ... you've been destroying the raix ?

Krydul: Not exactly. The weapon was a last resort. If the Tej-Brask had been able to penetrate our defenses in that sector, we would have lost countless cycles of data and work. We could not let that happen.
Do you have other weapons like the one you used in the battlefield ?

Krydul: That information is classified... I'm sure you understand.
But ... what will you do when the Tej-Brask attack again ? It is only a matter of time.

Krydul: We are prepared to deal with another attack.
Look, we are concerned. The last blast was extremely close to our borders.

Krydul: That was unintentional. We will be more careful.
What about our colonies near the border ? They will not feel safe as long as this war is raging.

Krydul: We can offer them raix bunkers.
Raix bunkers ?

Krydul: Raix-infused protective settlements. Extremely strong. We use them in emergencies.
I suppose that is a start. We would still prefer to know more about the weapon.

Krydul: Only an ally would have that privilege.
We simply want to protect our own. We are not looking to choose sides in this war.

Krydul: You may eventually have to.
