Module 10 Summary

- Balthier and the party infiltrate the capital city of Archades with the help of a streetear named Jules. However, the defenses around the Draklor Laboratories are reinforced before they can sneak in, forcing them to take a more direct approach.
- When they arrive at Draklor, the facility is already under assault by the sky pirate Reddas, whom Doctor Cid appears to know. Balthier challenges Cid to give up the Dusk Shard, but Cid largely ignores him, instead challenging Ashe with the manufacted nethicite infused into his weapons and his own body.
- The party defeats Cid in combat and Reddas moves to deliver the finishing blow, but is deflected by the spectre seen possessing Mjrn in the Henne Mines, whom Cid refers to as Venat. Cid escapes, taunting Ashe to race him to a place called Giruvegan to acquire more nethicite.

Glossary

Streetear - A professional gossip and private investigator who makes a living digging up secrets and bringing them to those who would pay to hear them. While streetears are most common in Archades, where reputations are held as more valuable than money, there are sure to be at least a few streetears in any major city.
