Lyra typed her reply. “Because I happen to like him. Go find some old man to take out instead p>
Specter sent a cryptic, knowing emoji.
“What’s this, Guide p>
Lyra kept a perfectly straight face in her private message.
“Yeah, I judge by looks. It’s rare I trust you lot. Don’t do things that will
Specter replied, “Got it p>

After turning up nothing from his investigation, Finnian Harlow, Director of the Oversight Council, brought gifts to the hospital to visit Yoren, who had gotten hurt because of him.
Yoren sat propped up in his hospital bed, one arm wrapped thick in bandages, a jacket slung over his shoulders as he worked through official documents.
“Mr. Silk, you’re badly injured. Why keep grinding through paperwork? Leave this for your subordinates to handle p>
Yoren had lost a good deal of blood, and his complexion looked pale.
“It’s fine. I’d only be sitting around anyway p>
Finnian set the gift box down beside the bed. His face was heavy with guilt.
“This whole mess dragged you into harm’s way. I feel terrible that you took such serious injuries p>
Yoren shook his head.
“This isn’t your fault, Mr. Harlow. Nobody could have seen those attackers coming p>
Finnian’s voice sharpened with anger.
“This shows just how reckless the rebels are. They’ve managed to plant assassins right here on Core Prime.

“Rest assured, Mr. Silk. I will root out every hidden mole on this planet and give you proper justice p>
Yoren replied, “I appreciate that, Mr. Harlow p>
Finnian said it was simply his duty.
He spoke a little more to state his official position, then stood to leave.
Glancing casually across the desk, he spotted a formal request on file: the reconstruction proposal for the fifth Black Spire on the Grade–two planet.
It clicked in his head. Yoren’s brother was still being held for questioning by the Oversight Council.
“I won’t take up more of your time. And don’t worry about your brother. Once we finish verifying all facts, he will be released unharmed p>
Yoren’s expression softened slightly, yet he kept impartial.
“That’s alright. I believe Marcel would never act foolishly, and I trust you will handle this case fairly p>
Finnian nodded.
Once the door closed behind him, Yoren stared down at the papers spread across his desk, his gaze unreadable.
Several days later, a bombshell story blew up across the Federation.
“Darrick, a fifty–one–year–old high–ranking cabinet official, was found murdered inside his residence yesterday. His body was discovered naked, with a kitchen knife lodged in his chest. The Oversight Council and Special Operations Bureau have joined the investigation p>
“Guide, are you satisfied with this old man’s death p>
Lyra silently crossed the name off her private list.
“Very satisfied. I’ve hated that creep for ages.
“You pulled this off smoothly. Way better than the last attempt p>
Her praise sounded half–hearted.

Reading the Guide’s compliment, a slow grin spread across Specter’s face.
“He brought it on himself with his rotten personal habits, gave us our opening p>

“Still, you planned it well. You knew exactly how to exploit his weaknesses to get the job done,” Lyra wrote.
“By the way, how did you dig up dirt on his messy private life p>
Specter dodged the question. “Are you happy now p>
Lyra replied, “Yes. I feel better now p>
Specter wrote, “Your happiness makes me happy too p>
No trace of joy showed in Lyra’s eyes.
She typed, “You took out one huge headache for me. How should I repay you p>
Specter’s eyes went wide in shock.
“No need. Just seeing you happy is reward enough p>
Lyra ignored his reply.
“Want to hop on a video call p>
Specter froze right where he sat, his spirit animal going rigid beside him.
Yoren had seen the breaking news as well.
Thinking back to Lyra’s earlier messages to him, he sensed something was going on.
Even so, he could not figure out what words he could use to talk her down.
From the very first hint Lyra had given him, he had already gotten pulled deep into this without noticing.
Even so, he felt he ought to send a warning,

“Ms. Kaelin, making deals with dangerous forces is playing with fire. The risks are enormous p>
Lyra only sent one short reply.
“Don’t worry
about me, Mr. Silk. Just keep moving forward toward what you want p>

Instead of feeling hopeful, Yoren’s mood grew heavier.
He could not wrap his head around how Lyra had changed so completely.
Was she helping him climb the ranks purely to get people locked inside the Oversight Council freed?
And what promises had she given these rebels in exchange for their services?
Lyra paid no mind whether Yoren sent another reply.
Under Hadrien’s watchful eyes, she worked to purify contamination levels while petting a spirit animal.
The large cheetah lay on the floor, rumbling like it had an engine stuck in its throat.
Unlike the cold, haughty demeanor of most big–cat spirit animals, this one was quiet and reserved. Two streaks running down its face looked almost like tear marks, lending it a pitiful, vulnerable look.
Lyra ran her hands all over the huge feline, giving it a full soothing rub–down.
Her mood lightened little by little.
Furry creatures really could fix almost anything.
With two major officials either attacked or murdered in quick succession, Core Prime launched a large – scale manhunt to flush out hidden spies.
Ordinary citizens living on the planet grew deeply anxious.
As the official public spokesperson, Lyra had to step forward to calm public sentiment.
“…Please do not panic. We have already captured several rebel spies hiding on Core Prime. Once they give up the names of their accomplices, everyone will be able to return to safe, normal lives p>
After the public had “accidentally” learned of Core Prime officials neglecting their duties and ignoring the garrison’s plight, their trust in the Federation government had plummeted sharply.
