Marozi: We've got a new inmate, Kore Smaragdos. Most of you have met her, or heard of her.

Marozi: She went to help the boy who got hit by a car. --In the end, to our great discredit--the telepath emerged to heal him.

Alan Lyrken: Vespasian Xander isn't some kind of monster! He's a basically good guy!

Marozi: Alan, you'll learn about the unique situation we're in with him in time. --Let me finish--

Marozi: My palace sources indicate that Kore has particularly...drawn the Evil Overlord's eye.

Marozi: ...and I do mean romantically.

Marozi: If he is indeed infatuated, it's a serious opportunity to break through his defenses...and strike him down from the inside.

Marozi(cont.): I've spoken to Kore and she is a reasonable-minded person. Quite capable of the diamond warrior training.

Marozi: This is a perfect chance to put a man on the inside.

Marozi: ...she will...accept Xander's advances...

Marozi: ...and he in turn will confide his plans and weaknesses to her...giving us a vital source of information.

Marozi: This is the chance we've been waiting for.

Marozi(thought): welp, bombs away.
