Pulse of the Imperium

Kova nods to Ambrose. He understands his role. And he's more than willing to fulfill it. The Atreides have given some of his family a safe place to live. The Harkonnen have taken some of his family from him. His karma is worth the price he is paying in his heart. Once he gets warm, he sets down his ...

Kova, for the most part, is fine with simply sitting and listening. He's spoken quite frequently with the Sadhu on different matters and is aware of how the people at the temple understand him. He doesn't even mind being called a killer or told his karma will suffer for his actions. He has, for a lo...

"Back to the Eyrie," Kova says, plotting out the quickest course he can in his mind. It would be longer and slower in the dark, but they'd get there.

Kova, a bit more acclimated, so while it sucks, he has no complaints. He simply moves to the nearest heat source without unloading and begins warming himself by the fire. "After I warm up, I'll go hunt up some game. Rest up and warm yourselves."

Kova had not been thinking about the temperature. He was definitely more acclimated, so he appreciated the warning from Efren. "There was another eye near here? Do you wish to try to make it there, then rush somewhere warmer after? Would it be possible to collect the information from it and discuss ...

Kova thinks at Efren's response. The decision to use capacity incorrectly can come from being naive, ignorant, conceited, or foolish. We must be patient and not push the limits of capacity if we are not prepared for the consequences. I think the idea is that we must not 'bite off more than we can ch...

Kova simply listened. He felt much the same as Ambrose in a lot of ways, fulfilling a duty to his people. And he didn't feel particularly guilty about doing it. What he felt was more akin to regret that he felt it was necessary. He understood the harm it did to him as a person. But he also felt the ...

Kova nods and does what he can to adjust Ambrose's and Efren's gear to make them look as much like locals as possible from a distance, exchanging a few pieces of his own for a bit to mix and match. He then picks as close to a common travel route as possible to try to avoid suspicion and hope that an...

"Not particularly. Most of the game hunted from land are birds and smaller game. The whales are our large game around here," he replies. "If we want to try to go unnoticed on land by the birds, generally we wear white and wait without moving near where we know they nest. Camouflage is about our only...

"To the next eye then," Kova replies with a nod.

"There aren't a whole lot of places I know than where I have been staying that are safe from prying eyes, honestly. Could go out and make a shelter in the snow, hide inside that, but that takes time," Kova admits. "Up to you. Anything else you want to investigate and look into in this area?"

Kova nods and starts looking for somewhere more secure. But they've talked about so much already, if anyone was listening, they already have enough to end this mission anyway by his estimation. They would know their next target position after all. "I'll try to find somewhere," the local says.

"So we have a location and a path. What kind of equipment do you have for camouflage? Spiracle is in the middle of a pretty open area. other calderas and hills will probably provide some cover when we're miles out, and approaching during the day will probably be better because snow glare, but once w...

As he works through the layout in his head, looking over the map, he starts to piece together the direction they need to be headed to get to the thopter they'll need to "borrow" for their completely reasonable purposes. "Based on the information you have, and the maps, out on the ice sheets, in this...

Kova had been quietly listening and observing, picking up what he could and trying to keep it all in perspective of what he knew about the local area. Putting landmarks in mind and villages that could be used for staging as he got a better grasp of the area they were operating in. He tries to glean ...

"I would say mundane, but what conversation isn't a spiritual exchange of perspective?" he says with something of a supportive tone.

Kova seems to move with a practiced ease while taking his time and picking a path, but his explanation was only really helpful in showing a path to their destination. He has a hard time articulating how to move with skis because he's been doing it since he could walk. D1 Skiing, Athletics, "Patience...

Kova does so, showing the way to the Sadhu's cave. "He is a wise man. Hopefully something useful can come from the conversation." When they get to the opening of the cave, Kova let's him know, calling out, "Sadhu Trygve. There are a few folks here that would like to share a few words."

Kova shrugs at Ambrose, not seeming bothered by anyone's position really. "We can check your assets. I'm just following the lead of your own people. I don't have a plan, I'm just here to help you with yours. Your people volunteered to help Leida, so I'm just acting on what I've seen and learned in a...

Kova offered to take Efren and Kiran's bags, showing Ambrose where they should go within the ruined Eyrie. He would set them out of the way and help Ambrose set up a small area for them. He understood they wanted to interact, but they would also need some level of privacy for discussing things they ...
