Dark Intelligence
“Sfolk, who was one of Vlern’s brood of young adult males, was quivering with fear. Adults generally didn’t put themselves at the complete mercy of any other adult. However, Sverl had made sure that if any of Vlern’s brood wanted to present a request, they had to come here.

Dying nerve tissue meant he couldn’t take any more prosthetics either, and he was as mad as a tankful of reaverfish.MoreLess
