"The Imperial Navy has a vested interest in the work that Sir Jace<br>
Pederson is doing. Mr. Luchenko is an unwitting informant for us<br>
while we are here. I'm sure you have gone over my service record. You<br>
know I was recently retired from the service. What isn't in the<br>
record is that I was taken out of service to keep an eye on the<br>
artifacts that Sir Jace finds and report back anything of<br>
significance to the Admiralty, (Or whatever the appropriate term for<br>
the high command of the Imperial Navy is). I am also under orders to<br>
keep Sir Jace and his discoveries out of the hands of the<br>
Confederation... By any means possible."<br>
