[Encryption active] I am lost.

We chased them down today. We tracked the Karnak Twins, and chased them down. We finished them. I think.

I led the way in this effort, as I have since the start. My determination, my ‘obsession’, as Rannick calls it, made this victory possible.

But I overstepped. I drove too hard. I was so intent on the Twins’ capture, I pushed too far. Lives were lost. The Twins cost us dearly. Rannick declares that a more reasoned approach might have achieved the same result without such a loss of life. I’m not convinced. I did what I had to do. Capturing the Karnak Twins was never going to be easy. It was always going to cost us. We needed them alive, not dead.

But Rannick says I acted overzealously and that my obsession got the better of me. He forced me to withdraw from the engagement in an effort to preserve lives, and now I am stood down from duties pending review.

Service to the Holy Ordos is my life. I am lost.  [Recording ended]
