If you can secure evidence on the crimes of the Cult of Zethrayl, this will bring the cult down.

The shadulyn priest was called Romanin, a vadakai for the Church of Noctu. It may be that the totem was constructed as a tool for trans-dimensional communication. It is quite possible that it wascraftedforonetohaveadirectlinktoAnderailandher commands, as most totems do in fact link to a spirit.It is known that a cult is in possession of the item and that it is a new Cult of Anderail. The problem is that this cult is hiding its true form under the guise of a Church of Sol. We do not wish to send our monks and templars to this place and destroy it. The media would have a field day with the images and the stories. This angers me even morethattheywoulddishonortherobesofSolbywearingitsholy image. Our path has enough false creatures poisoning our true meaning.

This great vessel will allow nearly anyone on board and weapons arealsoallowed.Scannerswillmakesureyouarenotwiredwith somethingthatwilldevastatetheentirevesselbycheckingyou magically and bionetically. The payment for the bounty on Boga Bills is considerably higher than if he is killed due to the fact that the magistrateismostinterestedinhispublictortureandexecution. Boga Bills has a very high reputation for being a rebel hero, when in factheisacutthroatsavagethatmustbepunishedforallofhis horrible crimes. As well the org abused the right to carry a bounty hunters badge and was allowed to operate in the Armethian borders of space. Who knows how many lives he has taken, when they thought it was okay to trust him?His many crimes rape, murder, slavery, they must be vindicated. The magistrate wishes to make Boga Bills suffer dearly. We also wish to show the entire empire his suffering. There will be several bounty hunterslookingforhimnowthatthis information is out and Boga knows this.
