Aneuhl remained quiet for several moments, mulling it over. Finally, he ventured, "While I may not know exactly what this mission is, I do know that there have been several occurrences which may or may not be closely linked… and if I were to believe in coincidence these events would be highly convenient. Let us review these events – and consider their implications from these deductions:”

Aneuhl began to tick the points off on his fingers, "Firstly, there was the man who returned from an expedition – the expedition to the inner areas of the island. I can safely assume that by now, you will have questioned him and discovered what he knows.” Aneuhl paused again, "This by itself does not mean much, but does raise the question as to exactly why this Council has suddenly very publicly called for people willing to risk their lives on a mission they are keeping very hush-hush and stringent with the details.”

He paused to give them all a direct look, "These two seem closely linked, which means that is safe to assume that the survivor of the prior expedition discovered something – something that the Council wants to investigate or retrieve. Possibly information, or possibly something more… substantial. Now, consider that a star was seen falling through the sky and struck the inner islands somewhere after streaking through the sky two months ago… while perhaps not the object of your search, any such object from beyond our skies is rare and valuable.” Aneuhl shrugged a little self-consciously, "I seek out and study such things so perhaps the last is not quite common knowledge… but an area of expertise I plan to master one day.”

Aneuhl turned and addressed the man with the hexagram on his forehead, "Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, you would care to tell me exactly how you know my thoughts. My guess would be if the room is enchanted only to prevents eavesdropping, then it must be one of you upon this Council.” He smiled almost shyly, "Without meaning any offence, of course. If I have overstepped my bounds, I do apologise.” The young man paused once more, "And finally… you’ve not sent me away yet. In conclusion, I would have to say that you are sending us to continue - or indeed - complete the mission the survivor began, or at the very least, follow up on it. I would say you are sending us to the inner areas of the island.” With another shy smile, he asked, "So how’d I do?”
