I met Kasmeer outside Joon's estate, and then Taimi let us past the gate—in opposition with Joon's wishes, as we were about to find out. As we entered her estate, she appeared overhead, but not to negotiate—only to kick us out. She still blamed us for what happened at the reactor and refused to believe we were planning to do anything but further damage her life's work. After a brief exchange, she left, turning the mansion's security on us.
We searched the mansion for the means to disable that security, learning more about her along the way—from her humble beginnings, to her many awards, to her role as a mother. A portrait of Joon emerged. Hopefully that greater understanding will help us finally say the right thing to convince her to return to our side.
