SecurityThe officer of the wardens casts a disdainful look over the rebel before turning his gaze on you. "Your Lordship/Ladyship, I honour your bravery. Please, allow me to get rid of this rat for you."
YOU"This man is now under my protection. See to it that he is held safely in custody until his fate is decided by a fair trial."
SecurityA dumbfounded expression appears on the officer's face. "With the deepest respect, Your Lordship/Ladyship..." The officer thinks better of his next words and abruptly bows. "It will be done."

YOU"This man will serve Janus yet. Consult your advisors and see to it that this rebel is made into a useful servitor."
Wounded Rebel"What? No! Anything but that—"
Security"Gladly, Your Lordship/Ladyship. Drag this carrion to a cell, lads."

YOU"Make an example of this scum. Publicly flay him and string up his corpse outside his family home as a warning. If anyone tries to remove it — shoot them."
Security"At once, Your Lordship/Ladyship!" The officer gives his subordinates a signal.

Entry point 2 of 3
SecurityA hulking man dressed in a uniform marking him out as an officer of the gubernatorial wardens is closely monitoring his subordinates as they surround the building. Sensing your approach, he whips around, his face going pale, and he offers a low bow. "Your Lordship/Ladyship! Please, do not stray too close to the building. One of the terrorists from today's attack has holed himself up in there. He could be dangerous."
YOU"What's going on here?"
Security"Ready to report, Your Lordship/Ladyship. We conducted a sweep of the area after the attack. All of the assassins were arrested or neutralised except for one..." The officer scowls darkly. "He's sealed himself inside. He already injured two wardens who tried to reach him. But there's no need to worry — we'll poison him and clear the last dregs of dirt from the estate."
YOU"You're going to poison the rebel?"
SecurityThe officer nods. "We're using insecticide from our stockpiles, Your Lordship/Ladyship. We don't have any military-grade poisons, but we don't need them, not for this parasite."
YOU"You're going to poison the rebel?"continues where this line first appears above
YOU"Who is he?"
SecurityThe officer's brow furrows. "To tell the truth, Your Lordship/Ladyship, I'm more concerned with clearing the area right now than with his identity. We're not expecting to get any valuable intel from him — unless we find something on his corpse after we've done our job."

YOU"What's so special about this building?"
Security"It's one of the utility buildings. Fortunately, it was empty at the time of the attack — there were no potential hostages or innocent people inside. If you ask me, I think this was the first place the killer came to when he was beating his retreat. We managed to round up all the others, but this one holed himself up in there."

YOU"I want to talk to the person inside."
Security"Are you sure? It's not exactly safe, Your Lordship/Ladyship." The officer's eyes involuntarily sweep over you, sizing you up.
YOU"All right, fine. I'll take a look around after you've finished up."
Security"We will be finished in just a few minutes." The officer bows low to you once more, then turns to his soldiers. "Begin!"

YOU"You dare to question me? Out of my way."
SecurityThe officer seems to remember himself and offers another low bow. "Forgive me, Your Lordship/Ladyship! Act as you see fit!" At the officer's signal, the other wardens take a deferential step back, clearing your path to the door.

YOU"I want to solve this problem without too much blood or fuss."
SecurityThe officer takes a breath. "As you wish, Your Lordship/Ladyship." At the officer's signal, the other wardens take a deferential step back, clearing your path to the door.

Pasqal"This is not an empty utility building, but an inactive backup crypt for storing refrigerant and freezing equipment. This is obvious. Your ignorance is depressing, servant."

Abelard"I have only one question, officer — why have you not already done it? The Rogue Trader is here, and the longer you delay, the more you put his/her life needlessly at risk!"
SecurityThe officer flinches slightly at Abelard's snarl. "It is inexcusable, Your Lordship/Ladyship! The barrels of poison were only just delivered... But we're... we're ready to begin now!"

Jae"One ashmag is up against all the wardens on this estate, yet he is still causing trouble? On Efreet, he would have already been made captain and put in charge of the governor's security — for the Exalted One knows that he has more brains than all of you combined!"
SecurityThe officer tugs nervously at his collar, which appears to have suddenly become too tight for his comfort. "W-we will fix this. Right away, I swear it on the Throne!"

YOU"Who are you?"
