Anything not make sense here?  Events tied to here have been edited a 
lot, so it's possible I made an error somewhere. I didn't tell you 
what precisely vajar was doing to Hota'ro''s record as she was 
"dying."  Surprise promotions seems to be his thing. It kind of makes 
sense, really. But you don't know about that, yet. Damn, I'm having 
waaaay too much fun.
