Aurora's POV
"Tetco." I say as she enters the room. "My Lady." Tetco replies. "Have you managed to find out anything about this Theta97 who is so interested in increasing my security?" "Not yet, My Lady. I'm still working on it. I have this feeling that I used to be able to do this sort of thing faster than I am currently but I'm unable to remember how I used to do it." "That's alright, Tetco. I will just have to do my best to deal with the newest measures that I have been given. Although, I don't like it. I have to admit it has given me practice interacting with the military forces that serve under my jurisdiction. I am still annoyed at the constant increases though. I feel stressed out and have been snippy lately. As if I don't have enough to deal with here due to the whole investigation." "Yes, My Lady. But, I do think that it has helped you make decisions faster. If you are worried that you may have changed you really haven't that much. You are still you. You just have learned how to act in a manner you haven't used before. It's not a bad thing in my personal opinion. I think it grants you more options for different situations." Tetco replied.
"So you think that this Theta97 is attempting to accomplish a task they need my help with from a distance? And if that is their goal, why hide and do it from a distance? Wouldn't it be more effective and efficient to do something like that in person?" I asked. "From what I have found out about them, which isn't much at all, it's a possibility. As for why the distance maybe they can't openly communicate with you for some reason. I think it would be more effective and efficient to do such a thing with direct contact to the person. We do know that they want you safe. These increased security measures have prevented people from coming after you. I know they have prevented at least three attempts over the past few months so efficiently and quietly that I have just found out about them now. My Lady." Tetco answers.
"Yes, safe is good. They have been effective. But, even my Patrons have been replaced as I lose them. It started with the new Patron for Loren's Legion in the Prism System, Mareli Maccarty. They were the first one to replace a Patron of mine. Almost immediately after I lost the previous one to another senator. Tetco, someone is pulling strings that I have no idea what they are connected to. And I admit it's scaring me. Someone wants me to maintain my position and is capable of doing what is needed to keep me in it. My whole powerbase has been shifted, reorganized, and become more streamlined and efficient. I barely have to do anything to manage it now. Prism is an industrial mining system and yet it is running itself as smoothly as a military system does."
"My Lady, I understand your concerns. I'm working on figuring this out but it is complex. It's as if this Theta97 knows how I think. And how to manipulate things to prevent me from finding out anything. As for the changes to your powerbase. It's odd, but the systems still run the way they always have been. They are still producing the same goods and services, maintaining the same economical status they have before. It does appear odd that it has streamlined itself but maybe some of your new Patrons and their clients are just better at managing their own duties than their predecessors were." Tetco responds. "I suppose that's a reasonable assumption, but it doesn't exactly explain everything that has been happening these past five months." "Yes, but it's a start. And once we discover who this Theta97 is maybe the rest will be made clear." "Then I hope we find out who and what his interest in me and his intentions for me are soon."
