Alec listened carefully to this Czar.<em>Shouldn't that be Czarina?</em>he wondered idly. He considered Sean's words, and couldn't help but cock his head in agreement, a wry eyebrow raising.<br/><br/>"I received a similar warning, that we were to turn back because the 'augurs were stirring'. I assumed it was a prank, until we were attacked, and now you're telling us that you<strong>knew</strong>about those things?"<br/><br/>He took a step forward, fists bunching of their own accord at his sides. "My first clue about these things came when one ripped its way into the compartment and chewed through three of your soldiers. I imagine for the rest of us, it's the same. And you want<strong>our</strong>information?" It was all he could do not to actually sputter. He settled for shaking his head as he pulled his MONA from his pocket. He accessed the latest brief and held it up for Czar to read.<br/><br/>"We are still receiving messages from the Seeker. I know less about this than you probably do."
