[No, wait. Nikos is still leaned forward, not letting up on that intensity, but his thoughts do a quick turnaround. Here, better--]
I came to you as someone who has done something. Something real. This world--the Inquisition--it's full of talkers. People who say they want to make change, who want things to be different. People who are full of shit. They don't want it if it will interrupt their lives. I don't need them.
My skills are subtlety, and stealth. I don't need those either. I have them. What I need is people. People who can make the rest of it work. If you don't know Fabria very well, fine. Do you know someone who does?
And in the end, I will need someone to speak. We do not have control over the outcome of this vote. We can influence it. I will need that, if this is to work.
