Well, in the past months, they’ve been buying everything. You name it, they’re trying to corner the market on it—including politicians.

A long-ignored body of information by the information brokers.  Zinqued promised her Barnabas’ death, and she agreed to help him.

Barnabas had given him a gift; Koel only needed to find it. He pored over information about the humans and their defeat of King Yoll, the abolition of the Yollin caste system, and their battles against the Leath and the SkaineS.

 Barnabas listens to the accusations, rebuts them, and accuses the Senators of bribe-taking and advancing the interests of the Yennai Corp. to their own gains. If they do not cancel the trial, he will be back and they all will pay for the attacks, in their own ways. And if ''anyone''  has come to harm as a result of these accusations, upon his return, he will burn their building to the ground!
