The official conclusion to this thread is Talinn being saved by the crew of the Golden Hide led by the First Mate Gyles Stowett from an attack by a vulpine supremacist faction, who wanted to kill him for past slights and for supporting the new more "progressive" Empress. Normally, threads in the TF are carried to their conclusion, but, switching to the new site sort of killed the momentum here, and staff time/energy is best applied moving forward on other things.
