Val introduces the crew with a respectful approach considerate of the Inheritors views.
The elders lay out there views on how what should be done with the crew ranging from death to remaining with the Cadre.
Jorus provides logical arguments for why the crew are not like other outsiders. Aayla attempts to build a bridge of compassion with the Elders by sharing some of her past loss and saying that she is not even from the Rift. This is mixed, in the Inheritors eyes no one is from the Rift.
Lorne brings up the Crimson Cadre and how revenge and the old ways only lead to more blood shed and more hatred and persecution of the inheritors. His point is only partly taken and one of the more extreme elders even suggests working with the Crimson Cadre. The idea the Crew might be able to help the Cadre contact other cadre's is floated.
Val shifts views with his natural rapport, complimented by the bonds he has created in the crafting of his new Rancor cape.
Sicart the healer supports the crew by attacking one of the more extreme elders with logical arguments for leniency and how that would benefit the Cadre.
Lorne says that he will bring back Shardglass to the Cadre and will train them to fight with it he demonstrates his martial prowess overawing the Elders with his shardglass weapons and powerful presence.
The Cadre are pleased with this development and agree to let the Crew go with Lorne to return. Lorne becomes aware that the Cadre are not skilled with shardglass crafting and will need knowledge from outside if they are to put any shard glass he brings to good use, such as to make weapons. He will have to address this somehow as he does not know how to do this himself.
From the back of the crowd there is a murmur, as the crowd parts the Crew see partially naked Picus, trailing his still attached transfuser, "Where's Val? I must speak with Val…"
