I[Hello, Pirate Woman. Perona's not entirely pleased to be speaking with you - but you're more familiar than...everyone she's met, and somewhat better than no one at all. Sue her, she's been lonely. Even conversing with an enemy is better than speaking to thin air.]

I was hoping you could tell me what was happening. [A long, suffering sigh.] Even the hollow scouts I sent to keep watch on things couldn't tell me just what was going on! Activity stopped for some time, and when it picked up again, there was such a change...

But that's all I've been able to gather.
