Rose Oriana/Chronology

Early Life
Born as the daughter of King Raphael Oriana and Queen Reina Oriana, Rose was expected to excel in an art and later marry in life. During her childhood, Rose befriended royal maid Margaret who they later became best friends with. At one time when she was young, Rose accompanied her father to Midgar Kingdom on official business to attend. However, Rose sneaks out of her inn to play with the other commoners' children until suddenly she is kidnapped by bandits because of her extravagant dress that attracted them.

When she wakes up, Rose overhears conversation from the bandits who kidnapped her are aware of her royal identities and that they may be intending to take her as a hostage to bargain with Oriana for ransom or sell her to someone who knew what she was worth. Before they intended to use Rose, a young man who suddenly appeared to slaughter all his abductors. Having been rescued, Rose asked him who he was until the young man said that he was just a "Fancy Bandit Slayer" who was still under training. When she wanted to thank him, the young man asked Rose not to tell him about it.

Ever since that day, Rose has kept that event a secret that has never been told to anyone as her precious memory. Even Rose had became enamored by the sight of the mysterious figure's sword techniques after witnessing his fights and became driven to develop her own ideal swordsmanship built around mastering basic techniques without any wasted movements.

Due to the traditions within Oriana Kingdom, Rose as a royal family was required to chose an art to excel in and she chose the sword as her art which makes everyone become disappointed with her choice. Despite her country's stigma on swordplay, Rose made it as her specialty which she still refuses to abandon her ideals after having been inspired by her hero that made Rose intend to take up a sword and strived to prove her country wrong in believing that swordplay is uncivilized. In her mid-adolescence, she attended Midgar's Spellsword Academy as an exchange student, where she later became Student Council President.

Midgar Academy Terrorist Attack
Entering the Bushin Festival tournament, she first encountered Cid in the preliminaries and dominated the duel with her vastly superior skills. Seemingly overpowered, he refused to yield however and impressed her with his unyielding willpower. Intent on ending their bout, the two combatants prepared to launch a decisive blow before the referee stopped and the ended the fight in her favor. Despite triumphing, she later developed respect for the unassuming freshman.

Approximately a week later, Rose along with the student council candidates gave a speech in his class to discuss their upcoming election. While speaking, several black hooded men claiming as 'Shadow Garden' raided the classroom and telling all students that they are taking over the Academy. In an attempt to defend the students, Rose confronted the terrorists and failed to notice that her magic was disabled when she attacked. Upon realizing, Cid was forced to intervene and shield her when one of the terrorists tried killing her. Seemingly sacrificing his life to save her, Rose was astonished by his actions and interpreted them as his unwavering 'love' towards her.

With no time to mourn over his apparent death, Rose vowed to avenge Cid while she and other students were forced into the auditorium. During their captivity, She and the other students hoped that the Knight Order would come to their rescue. Due to the Order being barred from entering the academy and magic being sealed, Rose began to think for a way out of confinement.

Later in the day, Rose saw that some of the terrorists began to maliciously attack the students. She told the students not to do anything because without magic, they won't stand a chance until she saw a shining light that made her magic return. At that moment, she lunged at one of the terrorists and declared to the students that their magic had returned as she tried rallying them into fighting back. With their battle commenced, Rose fought off the terrorists while weakened from her magic not fully recovering and was too weak to continue.

When she was nearly killed, Rose was saved by a black hooded swordsman who suddenly plummeted through the roof with several other black-hooded figures who announced themselves as Shadow Garden. Upon their arrival, they collaborated with the students to fight off the rest of the terrorist until a fire appeared in the auditorium. Rose took the opportunity to lead all the students out of the auditorium while the two groups continued fighting each other.

In the anime, Rose alongside other students came out of the burning auditorium and treated several injured students while waiting for the Knight Order. When Iris Midgar asked what had happened, she reported to her that a mysterious organization called Shadow Garden appeared to fight off the terrorist group who bared the same name.

She later discovered that Cid had survived and found him unconscious in a bed at the school infirmary with his friends nearby. Overjoyed by his miraculous survival, she thanked him for saving her and said that he had earned her love.

Even though the time of the attack on the Academy had passed, Rose suspected that there were things going on behind the scenes in this incident because she thought that the group of people in black who called themselves Shadow Garden must be in a different set of organizations than the actual organization.

Recalling the time the two factions fought back in the auditorium earlier, Rose realized that there were differences between the two groups. Of the terrorist groups that took over the Academy, the members in black were all men who had a standard fighting style in their swordsmanship techniques. Meanwhile, all members of the organization that a mysterious black hooded swordsman named Shadow himself has led are women who possess swordsmanship techniques that have never been seen before because their techniques are new and very different which are unusual in nature.

After seeing the night and day difference of the real Shadow Garden members, particularly Shadow's, Rose notes that only the real Shadow Garden members aside from Shadow were composed of women and use Shadow's swordsmanship, even notices that Shadow Garden were framed for the crime.

Knowing this, Rose told all her assumptions with the Knight Order to warn and prevent Midgar Kingdom from making an enemy out of such a powerful group. But her words was promptly ignored and went unheeded despite her insistence that Shadow and the group in black were fighting, even the Knight Order's public statements revealed that they viewed two parties as part of the same organization.

Understanding that none of the Knight Order's reasons were conclusive, Rose believed there was more going on than meets the eye. Even Rose thought that if Midgar Kingdom had the wrong enemy in mind, then calamity could be on the horizon which would occur in the future. In order to prevent that from happening, Rose asked Oriana Kingdom to thoroughly investigate this incident.

Sanctuary Infiltration
Due to the Academy's damaged infrastructure, students had their summer vacation started early. Rose had received an invitation to attend the "Goddess' Trial" in Lindwurm as a special guest. Before she went to depart from Midgar, she bumped into Cid and discovered he was also going there as well. Using this coincidence as an opportunity, she eagerly suggested him that they should go together.

On the way, she held onto his hand while voicing her affections to him that they'll overcome any adversity their "relationship" would bring. Though dismayed by this, Cid was aware of her affection and tried shaking her off to no avail. She informed him about the incident at the Academy and thought that something was going on behind the scenes. She suspected the two groups who called themselves Shadow Garden were involved but distinguished them that they differed drastically in swordsmanship, prowess, and members as actual members of the organization except their leader were females.

In the anime, Rose tried sneaking into Cid's room at night to sleep with him but was disappointed that he was absent. In actuality however, he was hiding on the ceiling asleep.

Upon arriving to Lindwurm, Rose gave Cid a tour when he bought a souvenir resembling the hero Olivier's sword encircled by Diablos' left arm and told him a fairy tale regarding the souvenir. She told him that the arm was cut off and sealed in the ruins known as the Sanctuary before bringing him to a book signing by her favorite author, Natsume Kafka. After getting a copy signed, she was puzzled his that was written uniquely, but wrote it off as interest to him.

In the game, Rose attended a pre-trial party and left Cid in their hotel room. Upon returning, she began to panic and was worried when she noticed that he wasn't in the room. When he came back, she was furious at him for wandering off and asked where did he go. Miraculously, she brought his fictitious excuse of going to the washroom.

At the Goddess' Trial, Rose was in the VIP seating with Alexia and Natsume next to the Acting Archbishop Jack Nelson. Prior to the event, she deliberately enrolled Cid to take the trial without his consent in order to show her his love struggle. Later at night when Cid's name was called as expected, she was aghast that Shadow appeared instead and summoned Aurora, the Witch of Calamity who was known as the strongest witch long ago.

In his trial, Jack almost withheld information about the witch from the two princesses when Natsume seduced him into doing otherwise. They were able to learn that she was called the most wicked woman in history. Despite firmly believing that she'll win, he grew impatient and demanded her to win to her losing in response. Rose and Jack were shocked to see her lose until Natsume pointed that a magical door appeared. When Jack tried to leave through the door, he was confronted by Shadow Garden.

The two princess saw Shadow Garden entering the Sanctuary, taking Jack with them. Rose tried reacting when Epsilon took Natsume as "hostage" to ensure they don't impede. Despite the Archbishop summoning Venom to finish the elven off, Epsilon executed him on spot and forced him into the facility. After they entered through the door, Alexia refused to stand idly and followed suit while Rose was forced to join her out of concern.

Inside, the second in command of the organization, Alpha guided the two princess and explained the dark history the Cult of Diablos covered up while revealing her lineage with Olivier after she revealed her face. After the revelation, she showed the two the truth through her ancestor's memories. They came to learn the connection recent events had with the two organizations and the truth about the Three Heroes, Demon Possession, as well as the Cult's origins and true objective. It was then the elven revealed Jack's true affiliation as the 11th Seat of the Round Knights as he confirmed them by revealing himself as the Avaricious as he tried separating the group through an ambush.

When Nelson tried fighting back with his cloning ability, Alpha ordered Delta to fight him. Rose was shocked to see how the Beastkin fought and noted that the way she fought was nothing like her peers as she fought with pure violence. She and Alexia pitied him as they saw a berserker with no technique slaughter dozens of his clones. By the time the defense system broke, Nelson was surprised that over hundred of his copies were defeated without breaking a sweat. Alpha retorted that despite being able to create a hundred copies, they share one brain and that he couldn't control them all that well. The Archbishop saw a statue of Olivier and called her to come out to his side. By the time Olivier was called to his side however, Epsilon regrouped with Alpha to report that they finished investigating. Despite the Archbishop's taunts, the group left the sanctuary as Alpha got what she wanted.

Upon returning outside, the three saw Shadow's magic annihilated the Sanctuary and Lindwurm being flooded. Concluding they were ignorant to the true battle even after learning the truth, Alexia proposed to form an alliance with Rose and the author in hopes of protecting what's most dear to them and swore friendship through networking. Unbeknownst to the three, they all had Cid in mind when they thought of what was most dear to them.

In the anime, Rose was seen practicing her sword in the rain at the capital after returning from the Sacred Land. While contemplating on her life, her body began to feel strange when she noticed symptoms of Demon Possession had started appearing on her body.

Bushin Festival Tournament
After training, she received word that her father will be visiting her with the presumed intention of taking her home for an arranged engagement. At an unknown point she received information from Natsume of her father's condition and rumors of her assumed fiancé, Duke Doem's connection with the Cult.

Sometime after the Bushin Festival had started, She ran into Cid who bought several Tuna King sandwiches and told him that she made friends with Alexia and Natsume. She confided to him that she'll be meeting her father and fiancé later and explained that her selfish behavior had disappointed and betrayed many when she picked up a sword. She implored him that if anything happens to her, she hopes he'll continue to believe in her. Before they parted ways, Cid gave her one of his sandwiches to cheer up.

Following her conversation, Rose went to her father in an attempt to convince him to approve her engagement with Cid. Instead, she saw her father's extremely pale face with a hollow stare and knew something was wrong when she saw Doem and his civil servant's grim smiles. Realizing the information Natsume gave was true, she found out firsthand that Doem was brainwashing her father in an attempt to take over her kingdom.

Horrified by the revelation, Rose was unable to think straight and tried lunging at Doem. However, Doem easily dodged her strike and he along with his servant's declared that Rose had gone mad which their loud shouting called for guards. Unable to stop the machination as she already have been surrounded, Rose was forced to escape and go into hiding while Doem threaten her to turn herself in before the end of the Bushin Festival or else he'll have her father kill Klaus Midgar, causing war between the two kingdoms. Because of her impulsive actions, Rose became a fugitive after nearly causing an international incident.

To avoid apprehension, Rose fled into the underground tunnels of the capital while being pursued by the Cult. After escaping them, she began to doubt whether her choice was right and whether it could've been dealt with without involving other countries. She knew that even after killing Doem, the Cult's presence within her kingdom will remain.

Remembering his words, Rose pondered whether surrendering is the best course of action, but recalled her memories of Cid. As her symptoms were deteriorating, Rose had heard someone playing the "Moonlight Sonata". Following the tune, she reached an abandon cathedral and found Shadow playing the piece. As he finished playing, Shadow asked her what she'll do to which she was shocked that he seemingly saw everything she's done to this point. Rose answered that she wanted to protect her kingdom and bring a better but was too weak. In response, Shadow asked if it meant that her fight was over and offered her his power when her pursuers found her. With no choice, Rose accepts his offer as there are things she wants to do and protect, which Shadow gives her power and heals her possession. When Shadow is already gone, he tells Rose that true strength lies not in one's power, but in one's way of being.

After Shadow leaves, some Cult's pursuers who is closing on her tail show up and Rose defeats them easily with her newfound power to which she began to understand him when Shadow gave her a piece of his power. Meanwhile, Rose eventually meet her friends Alexia and Natsume after feeling her sudden burst magic power. Alexia, who wanted to know her side of the situation, confronted her on what had happened as the two princess fought. Despite their skill differences in the past, Rose overwhelmed her with her newly obtained magic and power. Before leaving, Natsume wished good luck on her future endeavors and left her confused.

In the anime, on the night before the last day of the Bushin Festival, Rose heads to her dorm room at the Academy which is still unrepaired from the aftermath of the Cult's attack to change clothes. Upon seeing the Cid's sandwiches wrapper held in her hand, Rose hoped to give him conviction in her decision. On the last day of the Bushin Festival, Rose, who had concealed her appearance and hid her rapier sword in the guitar case, was rushing towards the stadium to meet her father until she ran into Cid's older sister, Claire Kagenō, who had left the stadium to look for her brother. On the way to the VIP seating area, Rose felt strange that there were no security inside the stadium until she saw the Cult members who had been killed and the citizens who had been subdued. Knowing who could perform this method of action, Rose met the Shadow Garden members who appeared before her. One of the members informs Rose that she can proceed to fulfill her mission then that's when she undresses on her cover attire and takes out her sword.

Upon entering the VIP area, Rose confronts her father and apologizes to him by stating she made a mistake and will likely make one more, but she decides to follow the path she believes in. After hearing that her father had forgiven all her sins, Rose sadly jumped at Doem, who then used the king as a shield. However, Rose went ahead and stabbed her father, to release him from the suffering and ensure that her kingdom would not become a puppet state for the Cult. In his final moments, Raphael Oriana tells Rose that he loves her. It was at that moment that all the spectators were spontaneously shocked to see Rose's action which had easily murdered her own father.

After killing her father, Rose accepts her fate and tries to prepare to commit suicide so that Doem doesn't take advantage of her, who at the same time orders her men to stop her. A moment later, Rose hears a voice asking if that was the choice she made until she sees a contestant fighter named Mundane Mann who has suddenly entered the VIP area, having slashed Doem's men before her and intervening in her intentions.

Later, Mundane declares it's time to reveal himself by taking off his disguise and turns into Shadow. When Rose saw his sword technique, Rose suddenly called Shadow the "Stylish Bandit Slayer" because she realized that Shadow was the one who had saved her from some bandits that kidnapped her when she was young. Rose is surprised to learn that Shadow is the "Stylish Bandit Slayer" and even at that young age, he is fearless and fights against evil. Shadow who had saved Rose once again told her that her battle was not over. Rose then stood up after seeing her father's corpse and left the stadium while Shadow blocked Doem's men from capturing her.

Having managed to get away from the stadium arena after escaping thanks to Shadow's intervention, Rose then wonders on what to do next by thinking of returning to the Oriana's capital and join the anti-Doem faction. Even so, that doesn't change the fact that she is now a criminal guilty of killing a king and committing patricide for whatever reason she made. Then suddenly Rose is meet again with Alpha who tells her that she has two choices to make: fighting alone or fighting alongside Shadow Garden. Rose asks Alpha if they intend to save Oriana Kingdom, but Alpha explains won't be doing anything assist her as she is right now, and if she wishes to save her kingdom, she must show her worth. Thinking for a moment, Rose wants to know if Shadow is their leader, which she confirms her statement. Reminiscing Shadow's determination to thwart evil, Rose entrusted herself and her kingdom's by deciding to accept Alpha's offer to join Shadow Garden.

Moments later after agreeing to the offer to join, Rose was escorted by Alpha on their journey until they reached an area no one could reach and entered the Abyss Woods. At that time, Alpha explained that when Shadow visited this region, he battled the Mist Dragon. The dragon lost and dubbed Shadow the ruler of this realm, until bathed him in dragon's breath. When they reach their destination in the forest, Alpha explains that this is the ancient city of Alexandria, the secret headquarters of Shadow Garden. Alpha takes Rose to Lambda and explains that Rose is a new recruit and tells Lambda to train her. Lambda calls 664 and 665, and tells them that she is putting the new recruit in their squad, naming Rose as Number 666. Lambda then cuts Rose's clothes, telling her that she is now a nobody and is casting away her name, clothes and everything to become a pure, unadulterated soldier. Rose watches in horror as the burger wrapper Cid gave her is rip to shreds before wailing in utter despair.

Red Moon Incident
Under the codename No. 666, Rose alongside her squad leader No. 664 and teammate No. 665 were assigned her first field mission to research Demonic Possession and Progenitor's blood through utilizing the vast library beneath the Crimson Tower under Beta's command. While at the underground library, she met Cid's sister Claire and the ancient vampire Hunter, Mary. Upon hearing from Claire that her brother was "kidnapped", she panicked and asked her confirmation. Despite worrying for his safety, she was ordered by Beta to step down. After they departed with the duo, she was immediately reprimanded by Beta and her squad for stepping out of line.

Sometime later, she alongside her squad and Beta stepped into battle against the Blood Queen, Elisabeth. Despite putting a valiant effort with the two other monarchs' collaboration, Rose and her squad were overpowered by the revived vampire and was knocked unconscious. Later awoken by Beta, Rose noticed that all her wounds were healed and that the Crimson Tower was annihilated to mere rubble. Following the Elven's orders, she returned to headquarters with her squad.

Great Trading Company Conflict
Under Alpha and Gamma's orders, Rose and her squad investigated the origin of counterfeit bills. While investigating, she was chided by 664 for being distracted. Upon arriving at the warehouse where the counterfeits originated, Rose quickly noticed magic steel threads around them and warned her teammates to stop.

It was then they encountered a mysterious figure named John Smith and fought. Rose and her squad were immediately subdued by his steel threads and were immobilized at his mercy. With a long pause, John sparred them and ordered that they pass a message to Alpha not get involved. With no further recourse, 664 ordered the group to withdraw and report to Alpha. Despite warning the elven leader of the mysterious figure and imploring her for another chance, 664 argued with Rose for acting out while 665 mediated the two. Alpha thanked the squad for the report and clarified the she did not plan to punish them for the failure before dismissing them.

Oriana's "Black Rose" Civil War Wedding
Rose and her team's next assignment was to travel to her own kingdom, Oriana and aid No. 559 to the recover the "Ring" that was key to the Black Rose hidden within Fort First. Upon arriving at the fort, Rose was shocked to see her mother amongst the Cult members. Before she could comprehend, Victoria leapt in and started slaughtering them mercilessly until she started targeting Reina. It was then that Rose intervened to protect her mother from her superior and asked for clarity as she wasn't properly debriefed on the mission. Even though Rose protects her mother from her superior, Cult's Named First Children Kouadoi took the opportunity to take both Rose and her mother hostage and telling her squad to surrender. Seeing it as a form of insubordination, Victoria branded Rose as a traitor as Kouadoi sending Rose and her mother back to the capital.

With her mother hostage, Rose was forced to marry Doem. In her room, she believed that Shadow Garden was furious for disobeying her superior and wondered where she went wrong. When she recalled her memories with Cid, she began lamenting on her situation until he snuck in through the balcony. Surprised by his sudden appearance, she assumed that he came to denounce the marriage and take her elsewhere together. When he asked her about the marriage, she tried dissuading him tearfully that she's doing it out her own will so he could live peacefully. Cid saw through however, and retorted that she needed to honest as he was like her with a dream nobody supported. Their conversation was abruptly stopped when Doem barged in after learning that she was talking to someone to only find her. Irked by her antics, he slapped and threatened her that her mother's life was dependent on her cooperation. Unbeknownst to them however, Cid was hiding in the balcony and overheard the conversation to confirm that she was coerced into the marriage.

Later in the evening after Margaret served her tea, Rose opened her windows believing it to be Cid but was instead greeted by Shadow. He brought her to where her mother was at and learned that she was never hostage and that she was conspiring with Doem in taking over her kingdom. Shocked by this revelation, she lost consciousness and found herself in her room. Upon waking up, she heard and saw Cid playing the Moonlight of Sonata. Despite having to push him away, she believed that he was an illusion until he gave her a heartfelt speech.

Cid told her that he gave everything up for the one thing he cherished most and that the world had become too bright to the point she'll lose sight of things she cared for before telling her that she's going through this. He told her that these lights lead people astray so instead of desperately trying not to lose sight of everything she sees, she should sit under a quiet moonlight and gaze at the one thing she cherishes most before asking her what was the thing she cherished most. Deeply touched by his speech, Rose tearfully answered that he was the thing she cherished most before noticing that he disappeared. After disappearing, she noticed a "ring" he left and believed it to be a proposal. Realizing it wasn't a dream and that she loved him most, her determination and resolve to save her kingdom was reignited.

At the wedding ceremony, Rose denounced the marriage in front of Doem and attendees that she refused to marry him and that she'll believe in true love before presenting the "ring" in front of the audience. Upon presenting, a projection of her father appeared to play his memo to everyone in attendance. In his memo, Raphael anticipated his loss of sanity and knew that Doem was responsible along with his crimes. He revealed the Cult's existence and implicated both his own wife and chancellor's involvement before lamenting that he was unable to fight for his country. He lastly entrusted it's future to his daughter and implored it's citizens to believe in her no what before disappearing. With the truth revealed, Rose confronted her now ex-fiancé with capital punishment as the fight for her kingdom commenced.

Initially believed to be evenly matched, the former princess belittled the second child's sword prowess that it won't defeat anyone after she overwhelmed him. She further degraded him that she intentionally avoided fatal blows for him to confess his sins. Doem was suddenly decapitated without anyone noticing. Believing that she murdered him, Reina tried cursing her before being cut down by someone and the guards without any weapons. Knowing that this person could not be underestimated, Rose asked who he was when he answered Mordred which made Rose recognize the name during her time in Shadow Garden and realized that the person before her right now is the 9th seat of the Knights of Rounds. Declaring that the banquet of slaughter had begun, Mordred announced the activation of the Black Rose and summoned dozens of magical beasts.

After saving Margaret from a oncoming beast, Rose was reunited by her team and was told to join Beta and Epsilon in taking down the Round Knight. Initially overwhelmed by his summoning of Ragnarok, Shadow intervened to drive away its attention and even the level field. It was after that she joined the elves to confront the Round Knight. As they fought, she learned the origins of those beasts as well as the phenomenon. After further learning that she was supposed to be a test subject for the Cult at birth, she became enraged after Beta told her that they were defanging the kingdom through infiltrating their culture and that her father sought to end it by sending her to Midgar for asylum.

After Shadow returned with the interdimensional demon's corpse, the Round Knight refused to accept defeat and consumed his flesh, thus mutating him into a monster. Despite receiving tremendous power from the demon, Mordred was ultimately defeated by Shadow when he inadvertently activated the Black Rose. As soon it was activated, Rose saw that her ring broke and watched Shadow and Beta be taken into another world.

The Academy Disappearances
As sole heir to the throne and under Alpha's order's, Rose inherited both her late mother and father's position's respectively, becoming Queen and Ruler of Oriana. Due to her responsibility as the Ruler of her nation however, she was forced to leave Shadow Garden and continue working with them as an associate. After leaving, her former teammates, 664 and 665 continued working with her as undercover maids.

After the Black Rose incident, Alpha and her organization stayed in Oriana to help restructure the war torn state. As the elven was talking to the now Queen Rose, the former princess was unsure on what to do as she believed that she'll cause more chaos. Alpha assured her that there was no other choice as the alliance treaty between her country and Midgar was broken and that the Holy Church declared them as a heretic state. Due to it's status and trade restriction, Alpha anticipated that several neighboring countries will eventually invade the country.

Alpha further assured Rose that this was done out fear from the Cult after she declared her country's independence from them. She explained that eternal life is the symbol of human desire and they sought after it, fearing that it'll be taken by someone else. Since they rule the world, someone will try to take it from and it was because of it they hide in the dark. They chose to hide that eternal life so no one else can take it away from them before telling her why they fear the sunlight.

Since Oriana became independent and aware of the Cult's existence, they feared that they'll be forced onto the main stage and be exposed. Alpha explained to Rose that she'll have Shadow Garden use Oriana to annihilate the Cult by differentiating them from the Holy Church and defeat invading countries, declaring that the Cult are the world's enemy. By exposing the Cult, their beliefs will be killed off, thus annihilating them.

Despite this, Rose was uncertain that she'll be a great ruler as the elven continued to assure her that they need a ruler than can bring pain, sacrifice, hatred, and achievement and that she must be that ruler. As she shallowed words and thoughts of uncertainty, Rose cut her hair short and became determined to protect her country. Happy with her answer, Alpha assured the Queen that as long as she's determined, Shadow Garden would never betray her before Gamma dragged Eta to report her research to the second in command.
