Kasumi turns to go start collecting the fighters as requested, but she turns to answer Ithi'ka's question.  "Tell him he'll get an exclusive.  That we'll spill the story ourselves to all the local Bards and news sources if he leaves before the mission is complete.  If he keeps his word... he gets the story as an exclusive." She hesitates, then adds. "The story will get out at some point.  Giving him an exclusive will at least keep him silent until the mission is over successfully."<br/><br/>She smiles faintly then, and leaving the candle with Sam, heads out to gather the men for an early morning departure.
