Saigo walked among the Order's workers, tailed by small group of men in khaki. His white uniform was luminescent in the mid-day sun. Visible on the sleeves of the men was a very vivid Imperial Chrysanthemum, and pistols holstered at their waist. The cultivation of Saigo's faction went well. Though their faces were a mix of races, their demeanor was undoubtedly trained in Japanese etiquette.

At times, he would point his sheathed dirk at a place here or there, inquiring about the methods of construction. The workers would explain quickly with an inquisitive look, as if there was no way Saigo would understand. But Saigo was patient, and devoted to the cause of Rangaku; western study. As the men explained, he would instruct one of his men to copy down words and diagrams in a notebook. Then, just as quickly, he would move on.

It was a productive day, full of learning and Saigo was pleased. He looked forward to taking a hunt in the forests perhaps later, when the sun was lower. One of his man called to him - a few butchered words in Japanese - and he looked up. His intermediary had arrived.

Saigo walked forward with a confident stride, his men flanked around him. He extended his hand to greet the new representative.

"I am Captain Saigo of the Navy of the Greater Japanese Empire, here on behalf of the Brotherhood. I spoke earlier with your associate, a Miss.. Hirderfrons Whetstone? And you are?"

Saigo nodded to the woman, and entered the structure, still accompanied by his men. Since he'd entered the Order, all he had seen of officers had been women. This novelty made him curious; perhaps their techonology was incredible, but their militant spirit was woefully underdeveloped. Then again, the reach of the Emperor had not yet honored these lands. Not yet, anyway.

"Commander Avaria. It is a pleasure to finally meet you."

Saigo sat down across from Tael and leaned back in his chair.

"I assume this involves the saboteurs. Please, continue."

Saigo narrowed his eyes. This talk of reality, portals and space time was all very theoretical to him, and he dismissed it as superstition and un-enlightened nativism. It seemed like the Order was as traditional as he thought. The disappearence of personnel was something else entirely. The idea of a powerful hidden weapon drew his interest; however, it sounded very much like the scouting parties were ambushed and killed. He would need more leverage from this 'Avaria'.

"I believe this would be another great opportunity for the Brotherhood to join the Order in mutual cooperation for mutual benefit, over the western barbarians. Perhaps together, we can lead this scouting party, and solve the mystery of this.. motherrode."

"There is no time to waste. I will return to the Brotherhood at once, to inform my commander and prepare our forces."

Saigo stood, held Avaria's gaze, bowed at a 45 degree angle, then turned, and left the structure with his men in tow.
