And then something occurred to me. What if it had not been a coincidence, as I had hitherto supposed, that you had been substituted for Adraste? What if it had been deliberate? What if there were some connection between you and Adraste, a connection that even you did not suspect? What if you were a barbarian, which it turned out you were, as I discovered, and were an unwitting tool, one useful to my enemies, a tool chosen for its naivety and ignorance, a tool which might be useful to them again and again, in a thousand ways, surveillance, spying, reporting, you a slave close to Adraste, and those about her, or interested in her, and so on? Not even Adraste would suspect you, a barbarian. And would not one barbarian be better for such purposes than a dozen barbarians, in turn, could they be obtained, which anomaly might attract unwanted attention? I did then, and shortly, learn you were indeed a barbarian, and then that you had been shipped to Port Kar, to be a paga girl in a tavern called the Golden Chain. Slender as was this reed of possibility, I took ship to Port Kar. Perhaps you can conceive of my delight when I, having followed you, learned that the elusive Adraste served in the same tavern. You led me to her, and you, in one way or another, will do it again. I see you are afraid. - (Quarry of Gor)
