Why do you hesitate? Decipher the note.

Completion

I must admit, I was not expecting that. Mathias Shaw taken prisoner by the Legion.

That, at least, explains all of the strange actions SI:7 has been taking lately. They have a dreadlord in charge of them.

After completing the quest the letter can be interacted with to re-watch the cutscene.

Valeera Sanguinar says: Use the Raven's Eye. Decipher the code in the SI:7 letter, <name>.

Cutscene

As the letter is read, the view changes to past events...

Amber Kearnen says: We were on the Broken Shore mere hours before the Alliance and Horde fleets arrived.

Amber Kearnen says: Mathias Shaw led our SI:7 team on a secret recon of the island. We were awaiting extraction.

Mathias is peering through the telescope he's holding as he speaks.

Master Mathias Shaw says: Our evac is almost here. We have to warn the Alliance and Horde.

Master Mathias Shaw says: They must turn their fleets around. The Broken Shore is a deathtrap.

He puts away from the telescope and turns to face the SI:7 group.

Master Mathias Shaw says: Anything, lieutenant?

Amber Kearnen says: The island is crawling with demons. Far more than we anticip...

The group is suddenly ambushed by a group of demons, with two unnamed SI:7 members killed while Amber and Mathias are unable to move.

Detheroc says: So, you have uncovered our little secret.

Detheroc says: Let me assure you, your precious fleets will fall into our trap.

Master Mathias Shaw says: You'll never get away with it, Detheroc!

Detheroc says: Oh, but I will. And you, Mathias Shaw, will help us to do it.

Detheroc changes his appearance to match that of Mathias'.

Detheroc says: Now I am the leader of SI:7!

The view changes back to the present.

Valeera Sanguinar says: Damn...

A hush falls over the chamber at the news of Mathias Shaw's fate.
