M’wanthala has returned. Haru’s mission back into the ancient Allagan lab was a success – M’wanthala was found still alive, and M’sato was able to administer a cure for the metallic plague slowly destroying her body. Unfortunately, they were forced to destroy the entrance during their escape, burying the upper levels of the lab in tons of debris – it would be the work of months to dig it out again. Little was learned, although Haru did manage to seize some kind of data storage device during her escape, and M’wanthala was able to observe a lot of the machinery’s behaviour while she was imprisoned – both could yield important discoveries.
X’havir is next. An agent of Mireille’s returned with the news that the Phantom Train will be including a prisoner car soon – a strange thing in a time when the Empire is in retreat and taking few prisoners. There is a chance, however slim, that X’havir will be among the prisoners – or if he isn’t, then someone there will have seen or heard of him. The solution is obvious, of course: rob the train, and retrieve the prisoners during the mission. The Grim have assembled a plan, and are gathering the resources they need to pull it off – in eight suns, they will assault the most heavily-guarded transport in all of Eorzea, and either return victorious or die in a glorious train heist.
