"Dear E.,



A suspicious sylvari looking like Scarlet Briar has been spotted boarding several Air Ships, including those of our Pact Alliance. Most concerning, she has been frequenting Camp Resolve, where our Force against Mordremoth stations. There are words that Scarlet Briar was not dead and up to one of her new agenda. We must act before her malicious intent turns into a catastrophe. Your help is much appreciated,



Captain Kiel."









"Dear Captain Kiel,



I'm glad that you decided to consult me about this confidential matter. I know the character that you have spoken of quite well. The name is Tara, one of my agents. As a second-born, she share quite a few similarity with Ceara, both in look and the talent for mechanical inventions. Indeed, she is quite gifted in the engineering of spacecrafts and had been working for the Pact until Scarlet's rampage. Because of her look, she wasn't trusted by her former employer and thus, spared from the Mordrem attack on the Pact Fleet. That's when she came to me. She wants to stop the shipwreck tragedy. I provide her leads and passage. In return, she helps me keep tab on the remnant of the Aetherblade and recover the scattered research of Scarlet Briar.

Since the matter has been cleared, I hope you and your men can be at ease now. It would be of our mutual benefit that Lion's Arch will not stand in the path of my agents.



At your service,

E."





==============================================

Extra notes: The idea was to make a completely no-plant armor for my chronomancer that would look 1. scholarly (because I want to use the scribe's backpack no matter what), 2. casual (to fit the scepter and pistol animation attack) and 3. harmonized well with her green skin. It took me a while to settle down on a satisfactory dye palette and my prototype wasn't any close to the Steampunk theme. Then I had a brilliant idea of giving a sepia tint to my dye job and while I was at it, change her boots and weapons to more Steampunk pieces. Voila, she became what I would imagine a Scarlet in Denim and Metal. I has so much fun in creating the look and the story. Hope you guys enjoy!
