1. Skyway Robbery - Rise

[Interovegas]

Finch finds Tuwan slumped partway onto the flow and faintly breathing. He gives the unconscious fellow a nudge to gain his attentions. Tuwan opens his eyes slowly and his face twists with pain but he does not let loose any groans of agony. He falters as he tries to prop himself backup. He rebuffs any effort Finch makes to assist him. When Tuwan finally gains an upright position he softly responds to Finch's inquiry.

Tuwan-[Imperial]: "I profess the total secrets of their betrayal are lost to me. T'was early in that dance of steel that I was tossed from the edge of mine pride and shame. T'were there an enchanter I didst not know of it. I shudder at thy words tho, dear Captain. Thou doth imply a smoke sculptor reside in that den of cowardice. Mine uncle didst once regale me of the horrors of the smoke sculptor on the field of battle. Precious uncle would whisper of ramparts and seige towers conjured in the midst of conflict."

Tuwan pauses to reposition himself and look Finch dead in the eye.

Tuwan-[Imperial]: "I implore you Captain. These Imperial villains cannot be permitted return to their fel domain."

Tuwan draws his knife and struggles to his feet.

Tuwan-[Imperial]: "My fate was apparent to me, but if you needeth mine heart to beat still to give continued cause to thy pursuit then I shall not falter. I offer thee mineself o' spirit of fortune."

He untucks his shirt. He grunts out:

Tuwan-[Imperial]: "I ... am of Mazzenmorte. Dedication without equal."

Tuwan brings his knife down into his side and stares Finch straight in the eyes. Then, he retrieves his steel from his flesh and visibly shakes as he remains standing.
