"Most people can swim but the seas aren't overcrowded," Delbin countered. "Most people can ride in a boat but the oceans don't have traffic issues. What's to guarantee it'll happen in the skies if it hasn't happen in the seas?" Delbin sneezed to the side. "Is it usually this cold up here? I didn't realize the temperature would be so low up here."

Rima followed along quietly as each member was introduced. Much like the Shadow Guild, the Wind Guild members were very diverse. Rima found this interesting and felt she would have little trouble keeping track of them but worse case she knew several other members would have less trouble than her. It was then that the High Speaker inquired what the usual proceedings were for the rest of the meetings.

“Well,” Saryus continued, “it is quite simple really. Usually we have reports from each branch of the guild about progress against the regime as well as other things. Though, lately, many Shadow Guild meetings have been interrupted. It is why the meeting is being held here today. All other locations were deemed too susceptible to attack given the recent increases in invasions of our meetings.” Saryus looked over the crowd that stood before her. “With that we will move forward to the first topic of reports. Currently the largest problem on our scales is the ever growing possibility of traitors lurking in our midst. Each branch has been mandated to search its members for any signs of a shift in loyalty. Were there any such findings?” A deadly silence settled over the hall before Madder and Maiden stepped forward again, their eyes cast low.

“We, um, we found several traitors within our branch,” Madder replied quietly. “It appears they were working on plans to take the branch down, and us with it, but they failed when we got one of the traitors to crack. The Prisoner’s Dilemma is very useful for interrogations but when it works it is somewhat depressing.” Madder cleared his throat. “All of the members that were accused and convicted of being traitors were disposed of. We are still investigating a few leads, but the more we search the deeper this rabbit hole goes, and the more members we lose from our branch. We will keep you all updated on the proceedings of it all but it seems our branch may require member transfers if too many members are weeded out.” With that, Madder and Maiden melted back into the crowd. No one else spoke up on the matter of traitors, a tense air filling the room.

“That is unfortunate, Madder. Our condolences are with you, and we wish your branch only prosperity. Nevertheless, I must remind you that you cannot show any mercy to anyone, no matter their relation to you.” Chiying’s words of warning echoed throughout the room, but the implications were obvious. While it was unlikely, there was always a possibility that Madder and Maiden themselves were traitors, one or both, and if this were true, then they would have to be eradicated as well. “In addition, Lady Saryus I must inquire something.” The Byakko demon turned to the succubus. “Have you taken the necessary precautions to prevent traitors from infiltrating this meeting. A remote location is hardly a deterrent.”

“I have done what I can, but with limited resources comes limited results. We will just have to hope that a remote location was enough of a deterrent, Master Chiying.” Chiying did not seem satisfied with this answer but decided to let it go. Saryus turned back to the crowd. “Unless the High Speaker and her guests have anything to add to the previous topic of discussion, we will move on to the planning of potential missions in this land as well as cooperation with the Wind Guild.”
