Irene and Clay would not need to suffer much longer. Imperial Intelligence agreed with Mariya that there was no more useful information to be gained from either of them. If the Xiomeran regime had intended to hide how they obtained so much intelligence on WOE, the two activists would have never left Xiomera alive.
But Calhualyana wanted WOE to know exactly how far Xiomera had gone to fight them. She wanted them to know this very, very badly.
Xiomerans believe that one learns best through example. Clay and Irene would thus become the examples that would educate the rest of WOE what happens when you attack Xiomera.

In the early morning hours of April 19th, two nondescript vans would pull up to two nondescript locations and drop off their cargo. Two Lauchenoirians who would find themselves on their front steps, very confused and wondering exactly when they had left Xiomera and been brought home. The lesson was ready to be taught.
A parting gift in a classic Xiomeran fashion had been left on each of them. On the left shoulder was tattooed a Xiomeran flag. On the right, the words punished by the Empire were tattooed in Huenyan script. It was meant to be a permanent reminder to the two Lauchenoirians of what had happened, and the consequences of their actions. While it was highly unlikely that either of them would ever be able to forget their time visiting with Mariya, Xiomerans don't like leaving anything to chance.
