[GM]
"Well, I'm glad you weren't any trouble to us." the Prince says,
clearly a little agitated.  "The same can't be said of your
ex-patriots closer to our borders."

[Osiris]
Osiris struggles to his feet, his eyes wide.

"Alister, how in the devil?" he asks.  "And, by God, you've still got
both your eyes!"
[/Osiris]

[GM]
The prince looks quizically at Osiris and Mr. Quinn.  "Apparently the
Cyberknight can vouch for Mr. Quinn?"
[/GM]

[Osiris]
"I don't know if I'd go as far as vouch for him." Osiris says.  "But
we met a couple of years ago, and he's not going to blow us up or call
the winds of hell down on us."
[/Osiris]
