Expected Marcus reaction, okay he can be somewhat chill.
I feel like the Imperial Prince will say 0, how he acted so far make him quite resilient to any of those approaches i believe. He is weird and certainly makes it difficult to picture him in a good light. And i think he is self-conscious of this. Might be the reason he didn't want to be shit talked in front of everyone by Marcus at the starport, and speed up things there for gtfo.

Send some drones, at night probably. Even if the Imperial House might have some tech of the past for see them, its not an issue. If anything it reveals to us we can act against them.

The gryphon cultural thing just sounds...weird to tell about a visitor and head of another world(moon), that is heavily armored and augmented enough that it could crush a gryphon just with weight alone. Does the Prince want to weirdly involve Rane in this ceremony fully with this hunt ? Is taking him to a hunt/search the kind of cultural move that align Rane to him or something in the eyes of the Empire court and nobles ? is the gryphon thing just for distract Rane ? It's an offworlder even allowed to have one ?

The animal is certainly beautiful, but...we really have not much an use for it. Beside natural reserves, they sounds dangerous as pets or for large zoos (no zoos this thing would die of boredom or go crazy, too little space). Its a big apex predator. A prestigious thing, to have with imperials though probably. Kind of cruel for the animal.

War wise, i don't think it can tank even a bullet of half of the weaponry made by mankind present in the galaxy. For pests is not needed, this thing will eat cows or the equivalent of cows. Or attempt to eat an human. Here on Adrax Reach it can. On Svartalfheim an human in power armor will probably be able to supplex it on the ground. If the gryphon doesn't die first since there is no atmosphere on Svartalfheim.

The origin is probably republican, a megacorporation i suppose. I don't see the government or a normal company having a need to make this thing. "Luxury gene-engineered product brought to life from legend". The product sell it self just by that description alone and all the myths of humanity past. So .... why the hell its here on a world being terraformed ? Lost cargo ? Breaking the law ?

><Yes.>
Let me throw a very fast and hard ball to the Prince :
We will find an injured gryphon, and not take it as mount, but as pet companion. Cyborg gryphon is cool, and...it will care and be far more loyal than the one of every other noble. Because we give it augments! We win your cultural game and do not play with your ball !
