• I've made mistakes. Perhaps more than my share. But this wasn't one of them. I was trying to do the right thing. I don't deserve to die. Can you help me?
• What are you not telling me?
• This is a tough call. I need more time to think about it.
• If I tell you now, they'll execute me, and then you'll be in danger. My only hope is to gather the evidence that will prove my claims, evidence I didn't have for the trial. What do you say?
• All right, but I'm risking my neck for you. If you betray me, you kill me.
• I can't go against the tribunal. But I will make sure your sentence is carried out honorably.
• You make a strong case. Let me think about it a little longer.
• It's complicated. You're a good soldier from a good warband. Your mother and I have always been proud of you. But not everyone is who they say they are.
• What is it you expect me to do?
• You have to trust me. Help me get out of here, and I'll tell you everything.
• Tell me now.
• He has a silver tongue. Be wary.
• Tell me again why Vallus deserves to die.
• Bizarre. With that in mind, I'm ready to decide.
• Good choice, Legionnaire. Your loyalty and dedication to duty does the High Legions proud.
• Save it, Emer. I just don't want Vallus to suffer for sticking by his warband.
• Wait. This is a difficult decision, and I need more time to think about it.
• Trust me. Vallus has been involved in traitorous activities for a long time.
• Why didn't you turn him in sooner?
• Because unlike your father, I am loyal. I kept hoping he'd come around. I didn't realize how deeply he and Sesric were involved in trading with the Separatists...until Sesric was caught.
• It's your word against his.
• So it is. But the tribunal and Brimstone believe me. Are you going to contradict them?
• I don't know. I need to talk to Vallus about it.
• You hung me out to dry, Emer, and you know it. You could at least feign remorse.
• You brought this death sentence on yourself. And as your legionnaire, I choose the method.
• Vallus is behind bars where he belongs. Once he's dead, we'll have done our duty to the legions. It's a good feeling, isn't it?
• I'm not sure Vallus deserves to die.
• Not so good.
• Of course you'd say that. You're his cub. Trust me. Vallus has been involved in traitorous activities for a long time.
• Why didn't you report him sooner?
• Only if they're being misled.
• So, what's the plan?
• Whatever I decide, Vallus is my father. My responsibility. I'm keeping you out of it.
• If you say so, boss. But if you need me, I'll be in the shadows...waiting for your call.
• Vallus lined his own bunk, so to speak. I don't envy you the job of executioner—much.
• Duty is what it is. But I'll make sure Vallus goes out like a soldier.
• Wait, what? What did all that mean? Is Vallus going to die?
• Wait for me at the barracks. I don't want you involved in this.
• There's something you're not telling me. Just because I'm not as smart as some doesn't mean I'm as dumb as most.
• Never said you were. But I need to handle this alone.
• "Justice." I like the sound of it; but I don't think I like the taste. We have to do this, right?
• No, the responsibility is mine. The law is clear, but I aim to give Vallus a soldier's death.
• So? What did you decide?
• Head back to the barracks and wait for me. I'll join up with you later.
• Nice try, boss. But I saw through you when you stole my toy daggers back in the fahrar; I can see through you now. You're breaking him out, aren't you?
• I am. And I don't want you involved. Get out of here. Oh, and Euryale...thanks.
• Sticking by a fellow warband member is one thing—but Vallus put his entire warband and the Black Citadel at risk to save one soldier. He made the wrong choice. You're making the right one.
• I appreciate that. I don't like what I have to do, but it's my duty.
• Tell me you're not going to do what I think you're going to do. They'll put you in a cell right next to Vallus. Did you stop to consider how bad that makes me look?
• Not at all. Get back to the barracks. I don't want you involved in what happens next.
