The city has been occupied for some time, but after the sickness that had taken Venera, the presence of Achamite soldiers increased twice over. Most stood as any other guard or as simple patrol, but no Venera citizen had to look far to be reminded that Venera no longer stood on its own.
Venerans are strong. The city seemingly has returned to its usual livelihood, but discontent has been stewing since the Aion's last arrival. And as quietly and effectively as soldier and Kenoma now work alike in the shadows, their movements don't go all-together unnoticed.
In the late hours of the evening, a pair of Achamite soldiers sneak around the back of a residence not far from the city markets. It may look routine to the untrained eye, but for any who have been watching the patrols of that area or those who are privy to what locations being targeted by the Regent, it is too far off the main thoroughfare to be anything but.

The soldiers do not re-emerge.
What is there left to do but investigate?
