Transcript

So much time has passed without anything to challenge the order of my kingdom, that I was slow to react to a surprising new threat. An outsider found her way into my realm, and she is formidable indeed.

I must access the records of the ARK network to learn all I can about this remarkable woman, and how she came to be here.

What drives the unyielding fire I sense in her? And how could it yet benefit my Kingdom?
