PRAY RETURN TO THE WAKING SANDS!

"This meeting could have been an e-mail."

IIRC lore explanation is that the Garleans can wiretap your linkshell communications, so saying sensitive mission details over the very easily intercepted linkshell comms is not great for keeping secret things secret. Thus, she only says 'pray return' on the LS, so that when you're there in person the details can be discussed in relative safety (which ends up not working out anyway as we got raided at the tender age of level 35)

Message security between group members was being managed well enough, but the Ascians went for the social engineering route.

Hmm, best not to give sensitive information online, then. Better to give it to a reliable ally in person.

Maybe Thancred. He seems trustworthy.

Really creative thread OP, no one's been bold enough to say quite like this in the game's decade-long lifespan, I salute you.

(I hope you stub your toe repeatedly, actually)

YOU'RE USING A LINK PEARL.

The Garleans are able to tap into link pearl messages, as has been demonstrated by Nero in Praetorium.

So sure, go ahead and tell the Garleans about your deepest secrets on an unsecure line. No worries.

Your personal dislike of Minfilia as a character is noted. <shrugs>. I guess you wanted to do all of the paperwork of running the Scions of the Seventh Dawn yourself? That would have certainly been a different game for A Realm Reborn.

[Tsiron]

You can't reason with these people they've already decided Minfilia is effectively the game's true villain for... minorly inconveniencing them, even though all the characters back in ARR were more or less equally 'useless'. Unlike the rest of them though, Minfilia never got the benefit of extra screentime after ARR to clear her name. The devs gave up on her...

Warrior of Light: *Does literally everything*

Minfilia: "We scions did such a great job!"

Warrior of Light: *Does literally everything*

Minfilia: "We scions did such a great job!"

Minfilia: Does absolutely nothing

Warrior of Light: Does absolutely nothing, since there is no administrator of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, and an entire expansion is spent randomly doing fetch quests.

If you're really not seeing this, ask yourself "What was Nick Fury doing for the Avengers?" Nothing. Except helping move the plot along. Otherwise, the Avengers would have spent entire movies doing random fetch quests.
