With Flax looking more suspicious by the minute, Ludo guided us towards his lab to further our investigation. She said that he'd likely be inside of his office, so she cast a glamour that disguised me as one of his lab workers.
Inside the lab, I created a distraction to lure Flax from his office, and once Flax's security golems were decommissioned, I dug through what I could find. It wasn't good. I found copies of Zinn's stolen research that refer to an island called Castora and a note from the Port Authority director expressing dismay over the high councillor's abuse of power. Flax and Yahk both had a hand in this.
I returned to Ludo and Sayida to report my findings. Sayida had heard of Castora and echoed the great effort it would take to get there—but clearly, her pirate's heart was ignited. Ludo, on the other hand, was concerned. On behalf of the alliance, she encouraged me to follow the Inquest. Sayida quickly offered the Dark Leviathan to get us there.
The Inquest already have a head start, so we need to move. Fast.
