True, Karnifs appear quite often here. Orders to reduce their numbers are run of the mill. But there's something more sinister going on, Player.

Mnesino is trying to get me to desert my post, so he can assume command. His arrogance is galling, but his inexperience is far more dangerous.

For the safety of all, I must not do this. Please, can you take care of the Famished Karnifs for me?

Player: Accept.

You're back, Player!

Did Belius do a good job?

He didn't avoid his responsibility again, did he?

Player: "Belius has done his duty, to the letter."

Excellent. That upstart has a history of ignoring orders from his rightful betters.

I'm glad that he finally understands his place in the pecking order.
