"Rise, Laris. I appreciate your consistent and thorough reports. You have done as well as could be expected with the lackluster troops you possessed. For now, I would like the current list of all remaining Marked Ones and their abilities. We shall incorporate them into my troops and attempt to match them with the platoons that suit them best."
