Intro

Год 351 п.и., Колыбель, Шпиль Совета Арканы, малый зал совещаний

По результатам оценки эффективности хексрейд партий, Триумвират ежегодно составляет рейтинг команд и награждает лучших. В рейтинг идёт множество факторов, от прямой боевой и зачистной эффективности, до вклада в исследовательскую деятельность и расширение известных и контролируемых территорий. И хотя некоторые молодые безымянные команды не показали себя особенно успешными, тем не менее они удостоились поощрительных призов и отдельных упоминаний за отдельные достижения. Некоторых даже пригласили на специальные интервью. Ваша партия - последние на очереди на собеседование, по кратким отзывам уже прошедших интервью, там задают странные вопросы, хвалят, желают удачи и отправляют восвояси. Но один из интервьюверов - лорд Эдвард Таск, A.D. - лидер и основной пропонент программы дальних полётов, неоднократно заявлявший что основные вопросы решены и дело только за малым - найти подходящих кандидатов.

A docent communicates telepathically with its wielder and can perceive the world through wielder's senses. One of the simple functions of a docent is to serve as a translator.
