Shogun made his way to an airlock, on the exterior of the Thermopylae. 3 minutes of air remaining... Shogun: So, we're finally going to discuss the Trust... This sounds promising. Maybe now, they will take heed of my warnings... He approached an open bulkhead, and climbed in. He grabbed the handle of a latch, and pulled it, until the bulkhead of the airlock, was sealed. The light inside airlock turned from red, to green, and the Airlock started to stabilize. The opposite bulkhead's lock turned, and creaked, as it opened, and Shogun stepped into the Thermopylae. Rufus on comm: Are you coming or what? Shogun on comm: I've just entered the Thermopylae, I'm making my way to the Assembly. Rufus on comm: Come alone, Mother is going to be present. Shogun on comm: She is? Then the situation is dire... Rufus on comm: One of our spartans didn't return... Yours...to be exact. Shogun stopped, and became stiff. Shogun: What!? Rufus on comm: He is either dead...lost... Or he's defected to the Trust... Shogun on comm: If he's joined the Trust, then he is lost... Shogun broke into a sprint, as he made his way to the "Assembly"

Asher was writing letters to families of ONI marines who had recently left to join their new government. He had since taken over military operations and tried his best to keep everything under control. An Aurigaen official walked into his office. Official: Asher, ONI has sent another batch out. Asher: Have they? Official: Yes, another twelve Aurigaens off to the "New World." Asher nodded. The "New World" was what all the Aurigaens were calling space and open access to go there. There was a rift between the people of Aurigae VI, those who held firm and stayed, and those who had the balls to leave their home world. Even the government was divided, as Asher was devoted to the cause of ONI, and Thomas wanted to stay away from their business. Asher tried his best every day to handle the matters of both the government of Aurigae VI and ONI. Asher: Good luck to them. Continue with civilian matters. I am going to check with ONI officials down here. The Official nodded and left the room. After a few minutes Asher left his office. The changes that were made to Aurigae since ONI takeover were...to say the least, drastic. New technology overwhelmed the entire "Town Hall." Datapads were everywhere, holographic equipment was moved in, people were always on some type of technological device. It helped move things smoother and more efficiently, but took a bit of a time to get used to. For most of the Aurigaens in government, they nailed it within the first week. The civilians had a longer adjustment time as their homes and towns were integrated into this new way of life. Asher embraced it all and loved every second of it.

Thomas intercepted Asher outside of their offices. "Asher, we need to talk. It's been a little over a month and I'm tired of ONI's occupation. Several others have expressed to me about how they are concerned that it's a military occupation rather than military support. This needs to end."

[Hells Sniper]

Asher stopped in his tracks. Asher: You are kidding me? Asher sighed. Asher: Thomas, this is more than military support! It's advancing our entire society! Look around you, look at what ONI has done to us and this colony. They have given us the power to defend ourselves from alien races we knew nothing about. I have spoken to civilians as well, and they are embracing this support as much as I am!

[Kairu]

"You don't get it do you? Have you read the 'allowed' content file of Preston Vernette, the ONI director? He's not a good man. He's a mass murderer. Who knows how long it will be until we've fulfilled whatever purpose he has for us and then leaves us to die?"

[Hells Sniper]

Asher: Leaves us to die? Asher face palmed and began walking. Asher: We are humans Thomas, and we are meant to be with our race. Vernette is not a mass murderer, he saved the human race...even if it cost lives, they are still kicking. We are still kicking!

[Kairu]

Thomas was still heated after yelling. He growled out loud but stormed off. Thomas: "Maybe the colonists and I should leave the colony. We can always settle somewhere else away from ONI occupation." Thomas walked back into his office before Asher could say anything.

[Hells Sniper]

Asher sighed. Asher: Utter...bullshit. Asher continued on with his business, moving to the ONI officials area.

[Kairu]

Thomas sat at his desk and started to look and siphon through some of the ONI tech. He was impressed by the technological feat. He started thinking that with all of these resources, maybe he could get in touch with the Trust to work out a deal to overthrow the ONI occupation.

"They don't like us." "Huh?" Ryan returned from his mesmerized state. There was a black sedan with tinted windows that he was staring at for a good 15 minutes. Micheal spoke up, "I said, they don't like us, the civilians." Ryan replied, but continued to stare at the sedan, "I think that they are just wondering what is going on, not that they don't like us. I mean, why would they not like us? Things have been a lot better since the higher ups put boots on the ground here. I mean, look at that guy over there." Ryan pointed to a random civilian with a datapad in his hand. "That's a normal colonist, not some rich guy. I have never seen a colony that is as technologically advanced as this one, as backwater we may be." "Well, I don't disagree with you on that. Though, I don't know if it's just me, or if I've actually counted 15 people sneer at me as they were passing by." "Maybe you provoked them or some-" Micheal cut Ryan off, "No, I wasn't doing anything. My weapon is slung, my ballistic goggles are polarized so they can't fucking read any expression I have, and I've been standing in this exact spot for 30 minutes now. No, there's something going on around here." Ryan began to tune Micheal out, "Your fault for jinxing it." Ryan unloaded the magazine from his SMG and examined it. The magazine was still fresh, but he decided to swap it out. He dropped the magazine into his waste pouch and pulled a new one from his chest. The magazine slotted in with a satisfying click. When Ryan looked back up, the sedan abruptly accelerated away. Ryan grunted in deep thought. "What, speeding's grounds for being a spy now?" Micheal heartily laughed. Having already tuned Micheal out, Ryan thought to himself. Something is up with that guy.
