The party sits at a confrence table in a remote confrence room at the Rekkenmark military academy.  The room is all fancy wood paneling over stone, and one wall is filled with a network of pull down maps.  The current map displayed to the group shows the city of Rekkenmark, with the Riedran mission circled in red grease pencil.  The light of the setting sun pours in from windows on the far side of the room, while a pair of the 122nd's soldiers stand guard outside.<br/><br/>Major Saithe paces the map covered edge of the room, periodically flitting through a number of papers on a large desk off to the side.  "Alright, listen up Alpha squad!"  She bellows in her somewhat deep voice, her undead arm twitching like it tends to.  "We've got a breach of Karrnathi national security going here.  At first, it appears to be a simple family issue, but just hear me out."  She announced, hoping to shut up any impertinent questions about why exactly the elite squad was going on a mission that promised to be petty.  "Over on Julius Street and 19th, downtown, the Riedrans opened up a mission for their state religion, the Path of Inspiration.  They've been bringing in a decent number of converts, and one of the ambassadors regularly naturalizes the converts into Riedran citizens.  Two days ago, Marc Kogaion IV, son of the noble judge Marc Kogaion III, was naturalized Riedran, and will be departing the country in 48 hours.  According to the secret police, Kogaion has hired assassains to kill the Riedran ambassador, and thereby revoke Marc IV's citizenship and prevent him from leaving the country."  The Major explained, pointing to the mission, the Kogaion homestead, and the local "secret" temple of the Keeper.<br/><br/>"Now, I want you to go retreive Marc IV, and perform a full military inspection of the Path of Inspiration while you're at it.  The ambassador technically has diplomatic immunity, so we're going to have to disguise you as members of the Emerald Claw.  If you are caught, or killed, the Commander-in-Cheif will deny all knowledge of your activities.  You'll need to get in and out without assassinating the ambassador, and rescue any Karrns you beleive are being held against their will."  The Major continued, pulling up a map to reveal a chalkboard, on which had been scrawled.<em>I wouldn't be too annoyed if the entire place burned to the ground and everyone died.  So long as it was the Emerald Claw that did it.</em>"Considering your backgrounds, you're probobly the most qualified people in the entire country to deal with this situation.  Do you have any questions before starting the mission?"
