Sending this izam was a moderate risk. Sure, it could be intercepted... but prying eyes wouldn't learn anything important.
As for the second message, it made the zorai break out in a cold sweat. It was a risky bet. It had been a while since his sidekick had been heard from, and if something had happened to him... On the other hand, missing this opportunity would be frustrating for science. If he didn't get an answer within a week... he'd think again.
Courrier privé adressé à Erenkyl
Bankun Erenkyl,
A strange case has come to my attention: a legionnaire is behaving in a way that baffles his companions. According to a few informants interested in desert affairs, this evokes the symptoms of Black Sap.
I don't know if it's true; I don't get many opportunities to examine a Legionnaire. But if the rumors are true, I'd like to make sure we have the same information.
First of all, does it have anything to do with you and yours? Given the state of the Clan, it would surprise me if it were a new recruit. However, if it's something like that, if you're behind it or another official legatee... the information's enough for me, I wouldn't get involved. I know that you're officially no longer a marauder, but I also know that some things are never completely renounced, and you are to my knowledge the last heir with rights to the Black Sap.
If this legionnaire affair has nothing to do with you, I'd like to make it clear that I had nothing to do with it either, and to my knowledge the Black Circle has honored its commitment, selling neither the recipe nor the Black Sap itself to anyone who doesn't claim to be a member of the Clan.
However, Vao had been very talkative before disappearing again. It's still possible that someone clever has been experimenting. It's more than likely. Rumors on the subject have been circulating for a long time, so far without any visible impact. I'll leave it to you to decide whether this merits further investigation and follow-up, or whether it doesn't merit your attention.
You have my full support in this matter,
Mazeyum

K...
Information to be confirmed, perhaps you have more on your side. What we've been working on for the past few years could find a concrete application. With so many organizations involved, it could also turn out to be quite explosive.
I'll be waiting for you at our usual rendezvous point, next Quinteth, if you'd like us to compare information and decide on a course of action.
Y.
