Silver Scope Spymaster

Lore & Dialog
Silver Scope Spymaster tells you, "I know why you're here. I have seen Atamarr's spies, but have left them be, for now.  Now, tell me what Atamarr has sent you here to tell me." You quickly explain about the Gold Gear Primus, the Apostate Virindi and the Simulacra, and how the Apostates are endeavoring to frame the Isparians for the deaths and disappearances of the initial Gear Knights through the Gate. Silver Scope Spymaster tells you, "I have heard some of this before, along with many reports that your people are trying to foist your guilt off on other beings. There is, however, a way for you to prove your words." Silver Scope Spymaster tells you, "There are a group of beings that appear to be of your race, camped out over a set of excavated ruins, north of here. They have been cutting down our soldiers, and carting off the bodies." Silver Scope Spymaster tells you, "My attempts to get Silver Scope Scouts into the area have been thwarted by my superiors. I am honor-bound to obey them, but nothing in my oaths says I cannot send you in for me." Silver Scope Spymaster tells you, "See if you can find one of their messages. A group that size, taking orders from elsewhere, as you say, would need a line of communication open.  I have not seen messengers entering or leaving, but the Portal Magic of this realm can explain that lack, easily enough.  Any messages they have will likely be deep inside their encampments.  Bring me one, and we'll talk further." You give Silver Scope Spymaster Apostate Message Shard. Silver Scope Spymaster tells you, "Is this how they communicate? Interesting." The Silver Scope Spymaster places the crystal into a small device, which seems to be pulling out and translating the information within the crystal. Silver Scope Spymaster tells you, "Not too different from the Aetherium encoded messages my people sometimes use, though the language may take a little bit. Also seems a few defenses in the crystal to be overcome." Silver Scope Spymaster tells you, "Once I have unlocked all of the information in that crystal, I'll see what I can do about getting the truth out to the troops. I have a bad feeling what I learn from the crystal is already known by the Iron Blade Commanders, and that worries me on several levels." Silver Scope Spymaster tells you, "Tell the Primus what has transpired between us, and that I may be paying a visit to him soon."
