He looks to her, curious and a little wary, despite the qualification, "Of course," he agrees. 

Not urgent but possibly strategically important. After the meal. She turns her attention back to her food.

Do you know anything about how we'd get in? I can probably contact the Wanderer from here, but it'd be a strain.

It seems to be buried, he offers after a moment, But given the wards... I wouldn't be surprised to find an entrance above ground, somewhere. It would have to be hidden, I think, to have escaped the Cialin's attention. 

I could probably find it meditating, but that's not any easier than talking to them. Maybe the general will have an idea.

Perhaps, he agrees. 

Jaim finishes his meal. Once the dishes have been taken in, he motions outside, "We have some time, yet. We could go back to the fields, or to the command center." 

Command center; the commander should know too.

Back to the CC, then. Commander Coen is quite busy, but she comes somewhat unhappily when Jaim flags her down, leading the whole group into one of the smaller meeting rooms on the first floor. 

"What did you need to speak to us about?" 

We're sitting on a city, the mana-powered kind. Buried, she signs, and DZ translates for Ilek and the commander.

"A city - like Sanctuary?" He is shocked. 

"Your abilites allowed you to sense it, I assume - can you make contact with the controlling Artefact?" 

Not easily. The Blade says there's probably a way in from the surface; I'm hoping you know enough about the area to guess it.

He hums, "I don't know this area that well," he says. He turns to Coen to get her opinion.

She is very surprised by this information - she also has little idea of what to do with it. She turns thoughtful at the question of the entrance's possible location. Eventually, she shakes her head.

"I apologize, but there are just too many possibilities. It could be under one of the hills - the area around the fort is well mapped out, but we haven't explored every cave, particularly farther out." 

All right, she nods. I'll ask. It should be the only thing I do, the day I do it.

"As much as the discovery is incredible," he shakes his head, amazed at the idea - a city like Sanctuary, beneath them this whole time! "It's not urgent. We'll have plenty of time before we leave for Helen." 

She nods. I should have time in a few days.

He nods, "Let me know when you find it?" He asks, tentative, "I would enjoy the chance to explore - and I expect I might be of some use. You may need mana to gain access to some parts of the city." 

Of course. And you should let me know if you have any questions for the Artefact, before I contact them.

"I will think on it, and let you know," he agrees. 

Do you think you're going to need me for the escort?

"We should be fine," the Commander replies, "We're expecting much of the enemy to flee when our reinforcements arrive, and even if they don't, they will be much outnumbered, for once."

She nods. Good. I'll see you afterward, then.

The Commander nods, rushing out of the room to return to the Warroom. 

Jaim makes to leave as well, "I'd best go meet with my elites," he says. 

Ilek hovers near him, "Be careful," he insists.
