Diary of Endelle Stroth - 25.08.2270
Tren Krellos continues to surprise me, and not just because he didn’t turn me over for the reward money at the earliest opportunity. That dubious honour fell to the outpost attendants on New Barath who called in the Montreau Conservatory.
No, what surprises me is Krellos’ casual, even upbeat attitude to the odds against us. The Montreau Conservatory has long cast an intimidating shadow upon the Coreworlds; that terrifying reputation is part of what makes them so effective today. So the way Krellos handily dispatched these “mooks”… well, it’s done much to shatter that illusion. The odds don’t seem quite so insurmountable any more.
Of course, our opponents will now know that he and I have thrown our lot in together. Soon there’ll be a bounty on Krellos so high that he couldn’t sell me out even if he wanted to. I can’t decide whether that scares or reassures me.
