Mako had told Jak that the quest was to be kept low key and to keep it confidential, and the WGC nor House Raine had told him anything. As far as he was concerned, he hadn't been told anything except where to show up. Anything that was said couldn't be traced back to him in the slightest.
With this in mind, Jak gave Hugoh the scoop.
"A subjugation quest?"
Jak nodded.
"But don't you need to be-"
"Above Rookie Class," Jak finished for him. "Mako already told me. Apparently a lot of exceptions are being made for this quest. There are things just out of my reach, things that are being kept secret."
"House Raine must be desperate if they're pulling strings to have TWO Elemental Rookies on their team." Hugoh touched his short salt and pepper beard. "In terms of a business standpoint I guess it makes sense, especially since hiring you guys would be cheaper than Rift Hunters, a lot more subtle as well. Rift Hunters draw too much attention."
