She takes the document from you, smiling when she sees Ben's signature. "Trellek is permitted to join you. You are wished luck and speed."
"The signed contract must be seen by me."
"Permission will be given to you later. There is a task that must be performed first.
"There is a woodcutter who lives in the western part of the forest. Silverleaf trees are being cut down by him. Emp houses are in Silverleaf trees. Contract must be signed by woodcutter to stop."
"My condition is understood by you?" Not waiting for your response, she hands you a document.
"You are now in possession of the contract."
"There is not enough room in your equipment for the contract."
"Trellek is another Emp. He should be spoken to by you.
"There is much damage to the forest and the Silverleaf trees. The damage is caused by your people, human. The responsibility to reverse the damage is also yours, human.
"Trellek should be sought by you," she says emphatically. "He should be asked to join you."
