You had suspected it would come to this. Regrettable, but necessary. You ready your weapons too and face your former ally. You cannot allow him to endanger your mission any longer and engage in the only language he seems to understand - violence.

PERFORM A ROUND OF COMBAT AGAINST DEFENSE 7

ARCHIVE THE CYPRIAN ALLY CARD

As Cyprian falls, you stand back to catch your breath and clean his blood from your weapons. The A'Dendri have observed the fight with obvious interest. Now, two of the large bioconstructs advance - the Soil-digger preparing a hole in the ground, the Uprooter lifting Cyprian up and dispatching him into it. Within moments, the knight is gone. As you think it could not get any stranger, a small wooden creature flies over the impromptu grave, sprinkling seeds before the Soil-digger heaps another layer of soil onto the spot. Then they all hurry away to their next assignment. You get the impression Cyprian was used more as fertilizer for a flower bed than buried.

Meanwhile, Guide has new information for you, the A'Dendri have decided to let you keep your weapons. You are now allowed to walk around freely - as freely as one is able with watchful eyes everywhere.
