The Fifth Column

The papers that you took off Yaver Gaudi's body... Their contents scare me!
Why would Tep need live prisoners? Aside from inhumane experiments. And how is it connected to the lost Sparks in the Purgatory? There are more questions than answers!
What was the security service doing? And the infamous Committee, whose spies stick their noses into every vial in my institute, failed to detect a whole gang of cultists under their nose. I am partially to blame as well. I sensed there was something wrong when Yaver Gaudi asked for cart blanche in his research... He even personally selected his employees!
All right. Go to Yasker and report the liquidation of the spy cell. You are a hero, he won't execute you right away...
Cultists in the scientific center of the Empire... Imagine that!

Good day, comrade. I hope that you truly have important news, and not some rumors of an astral dragon that was seen above the Wild Isles by drunk shamans.
Wait a moment... So it was you who destroyed the cultists disguised as ZIT employees? Excellent. Wonderful. Congratulations. You've quite masterfully derailed a Committee operation aimed at infiltrating the spy network of Tep followers! Your interference roused all the spies and forced them to act before our detectives found all their contacts and locations! What are we to do now? Start from scratch?
