Linvar Support (D1, EM Torsin Estate)

[Sylvain Torsin]

He tilted his head, "Yes... there of course is some dissonance between their approaches. The Empire is nothing if not filled with Sith possessed by megalomania assured of the legitimacy of their own path. Are you concerned of how their paths conflict with yours? Or...?"

[Dapper Dog]

“I am concerned with their intent, more so the former than the latter,” he said in reply.

“I presume the Steel Valkyrie, a ridiculous moniker but I digress, is still pursuing her crusade to make the Empire better, an Idea I can agree with in theory.”

[Sylvain Torsin]

He nodded, "There is very little deception in Kristal. She says what she intends to do, and then does it. One will either stop her or she will overcome them... it is a fairly simple calculus."

He then tilted his head, "Malgus is less transparent... and so you are looking for me to inform you of his intentions in exchange for your support?"

[Dapper Dog]

“Seems an easy enough exchange,” Darth Baras replied.

[Sylvain Torsin]

"So spy on my wife and one of the most powerful men in the galaxy in exchange for what, exactly?" He asked.

[Dapper Dog]

“I did not say spy, simply keep me informed of their actions, a minor difference. In exchange I can help alleviate the situation your system is facing,” he responded.

[Sylvain Torsin]

He nodded, "That sounds well enough to me. Do you have something in mind for how to help the system? Or am I to ask for what I need?"

[Dapper Dog]

“I know there is discussion of dispersal of supplies and good coming to Imperial Court, I can make sure no matter the outcome that your system is given the supplies needed,” he said thoughtfully.

"Military reserves, medical supplies to last perhaps five years, and additional food surplus redirected to those deserving masses."

[Sylvain Torsin]

“That would be quite the boon.” He replied. “Finally give us a bit of footing to plant ourselves for an effective pushback against the disease.”

He then questioned, “You are fine with giving me an advantage against my rivals in the Corporate Sector?”

[Dapper Dog]

“In the long run it betters the Empire any advantage in the short term is inconsequential,” he said dismissively.

“Stability is paramount.”

[Sylvain Torsin]

“Stable progress is what I aim to bring. Consolidation and growth to the Empire.” Sylvain replied.

“If we are of one mind in this I see no reason to refuse. I will keep you appraised of what I know of Malgus’ intentions.”

[Dapper Dog]

Darth Baras looked pleased maybe... who knows.

"It may be nothing, but I rarely bank on nothing when it comes to my fellow Sith," he said.

[Sylvain Torsin]

"You are wise to do so... Though you have no need of me telling you that." He said with a chuckle.

He paused for a moment before adding, "It is odd to be speaking to you like this after these years. I hope that your new apprentice Ms. Khalan is performing up to your liking. She has great potential in her."

[Dapper Dog]

"She listens, and she does as I instruct her, thus far that makes her a rare breed," he said calmly.

"I should be going, there are numerous meetings before our Dark Lord's arrival." He gave a nod and departed.

[Sylvain Torsin]

Sylvain nodded and bowed a farewell.

"Until the day she doesn't..." He said in a small voice as Baras walked away.
