Harrison nodded. Harrison: Turner was the previous leader of that colony. Who is it now? Jacob: I think Turner had two other advisors who took over after he left. Asher and someone named Thomas. Harrison: Then we should get to Aurigae VI, have a word with them and reinforce defenses. I do believe we have some ships stationed there, correct?

Edward was going through the King's Raven and he met up with James. Edward: Lt. Turner, I'm Private Edward Wake. Captain Hayes felt it would be best for you to have a permanent team. Lucky for you, I'm your demo expert. If you want, I can take you to meet the rest of your team, Corporals Horne and Blande, your sniper and technician, respectively. I believe they are in armory getting ready for the next assignment. James looked at him and smiled. He wasn't sure why, but he started to already like Edward. He was bouncy, happy. He then nodded and agreed. The pair headed to the armory where, sure enough, the rest of hsi team were there. Edward walked up to the corporals and started to explain. Edward: Horne, Blande, this is Lieutenant James Turner. If you do not know he was the former lead- Horne: We know who he is. Horne spoke cutting Edward off. Horne: Lieutenant, I'm Corporal Rewill Horne. I'm the sniper of the team. My goal is to see every one of these Trust bastards and those damned Covenant assholes dead. You give me a target and it'll be good as dead. Blande: Yes, because that's exactly what our new commanding officer wants to hear, your bloodlust. Excuse him, Lieutenant. When he starts thinking about killing, it's all that he thinks about. I'm Corporal Aelis Blande, your technician. If you need a door or computer hacked, I'm your go to girl. I've proven more than capable in battle as well. Edward butted in again. Edward: And as I said earlier, I'm your demolitions man. I aim to see things explode and catch fire. Been doing it all my life. Figured I'd make a difference. Edward smiled talking with his hands, pantomiming an explosion. James: I'm Lieutenant James Turner. As I'm sure you heard, I'm fairly new at command of this rank, so bear with me. I don't want to be like some of the drill sergeants back on J-2 Alpha who are beating the recruits down, but I do aim to get the mission done. Blande let James finish and then asked her question. Blande: Sir, what's our orders? Have we received any yet? James: Not yet. I talked to Captain Hayes about an hour ago, planetside and shortly after, on the bridge, in his office. He said that he's going to have the Police Force take over here on Atlas. After expressing concerns that the Trust may have Aurigae VI on their target list, I asked him for the status of it. He assured me he was going to swing us through the system to ensure that it is safe. Afterwards, I haven't received any other orders other than make sure we're all at 100% and ready for any possible deployment.

A Brute chieftain was lounging on a large marble throne. The throne wasp perched at the top of some jagged, stone steps. The Chieftain's hammer rested against the side of the throne, it was longer than most hammers, but was stripped of it's large battery, in it's place, was another blade. The room itself was very large. The high ceilings made room for large banners bearing the Chieftain's sigil. Everything in the room appeared to be made out of stone. The large dinnertable, at the bottom of the steps, the dinnerware, even some of the guards had chunks of stone grafted onto their armor. The crudely made pillars, were nothing more than chunks of rock, piled on top of each other. The chieftain was stuffing his face, as his guards were littered across the steps, feasting on whatever scraps the the chieftain tossed down, or accidentally knocked off his table. The chieftain stopped eating, when all of a sudden, a large breeze entered the room. A different scent was in the air. He looked down at the bottom of the steps, and saw a malnourished brute minor, kneeling down before him. Minor: Chieftain Rhiktus...A Chieftain who claims to be from..."Another time"...comes wishing an audience with you. Rhiktus gulped what he had in his mouth, and rubbed his goatee, bits of meat, and flies would jump out with each stroke. Rhiktus: I was not expecting any visitors...Who let him past the gate? Minor: Pack Chieftain Decimus was guarding the gate... Rhiktus sighed Rhiktus: It's the time of consummation...so I shall lessen his punishment... Rhiktus paused Rhiktus: Throw his offspring into the "Pit"...Their mettle shall determine their fate. The Minor looked up at Rhiktus, and gasped, before looking straight back down. Minor: It will be done my Chieftain... Rhiktus paused. Rhiktus: Alright...Well, whoever this brute is, he must have ventured far... Escort him in. Voice: That will not be necessary, High Chieftain of Olka-Vincille. A masked chieftain strolled into the room, and approached the steps leading up to the chieftain, he placed one foot on a step, and stared at Rhiktus. Rhiktus: It is...blasphemy to look the chieftain, of Olka-Vincille, in the eye... Masked Chieftain: You've gotten fat Rhiktus... Rhiktus glared at Masked Chieftain, he scoffed, as he slowly stood up from his throne, and lumbered down the steps to face the Masked Chieftain. He sniffed the air around him, stared. Rhiktus: Remove your headdress...I wish to make sure of something... Masked Chieftain: Unless you doubt your nose...Then you are already sure of who I am. Rhiktus: Firstborn of the Silver Haired Fool... You are Atticus... Atticus: It is true, that I am Atticus, but let me assure you that my father was no fool. Rhiktus: He's dead...isn't he? Atticus: Only after your current Chieftain...Delta, worked in cooperation with another cowardly brute, and a number of humans. Rhiktus: A True Chieftain is able to face any adversary that crosses him...No matter the odds. Atticus: Oh? Is that so? A large figure decloaked behind Rhiktus, and grabbed the back of his head. The figure, who was actually a cloaked brute pulled back, and threw Rhiktus down to the floor. The Brute unsheathed a large jagged knife, and was about to slam it down on Rhiktus' neck, before he stopped right before the blade touched him. Atticus: Dead. The large brute behind Rhiktus sheathed his knife, and took a step back. 2 other brutes decloaked on each side of Rhiktus, they each pointed a mauler to Rhiktus' face. Atticus: Dead. All of the brutes holstered their weapons, and took their place behind Atticus, they all cloaked. Lastly, what appeared to be a semi opaque purple rock bounced off Rhiktus' muzzle. A brute holding a red needle rifle dropped down from one of the pillars, and cloaked. Atticus: Dead. At this point, the guards were starting to surround Atticus and Rhiktus. The guards all had their weapons trained on Atticus. Rhiktus raised his hand, motioning his brutes to back off. Rhiktus: What were you trying to prove... Atticus: Simple. Before your guards could even react...I killed you. Three times. Rhiktus: But you didn't kill me...your...lackeys did. Atticus chuckled Atticus: Have you heard of the human saying...History is written by the victor... Rhiktus was silent Atticus: Well, Chieftain Rhiktus, fact of the matter is, even though your demise came from the hands of my soldiers...they are loyal to me. I could have killed you...taken the throne for myself, and simply said I bested you in a fair duel. But was that a fair duel? Would that make me deserving of your throne? Atticus: No. Atticus: Then why are you so quick to follow Delta... So quick, to call Fornicus, a fool... Would a fool conquer Earth? And usher in a new age of prosperity for the brutes? Or would a fool help the humans rebuild their army...and retake Earth...and exile all brutes who inhabited it! Rhiktus stared at Atticus, as he slowly started to chuckle in monotone. Rhiktus: So this is what it's all about... You want to avenge your father... Atticus: No Rhiktus, my motive is much more noble than that... Atticus pulled on some of the hosing connecting his headdress, to his armor. He slowly slid off his headdress, and looked at Rhiktus, exposing his heavily scared face, and his glowing blue eyes. Atticus: I seek to cut the binds that the humans have placed on us....

Meanwhile: Hayes: We do have a few ships stationed there...two warships, and about a dozen engineering ships. We have been setting up defenses for the past month now. Burke: A detour might take some time...but it may be worth it. ONI values the position we have on Aurigae VI and we should see to it that we maintain control of it. We cannot allow The Trust to shift the balance of power away from us. Hayes: Well...I just want to put Mr. Turner at ease...show him we are true to our commitments. Meanwhile: The Trust agent and Tifa had used the Pelican to return to The Manifest Destiny. The Trust Agent was showing Tifa to a room she could stay in. Trust Agent: For now...keep a low profile. I would rather not see your name on a tombstone because one of our people thought you were snooping. After you have a word with Kolya...and after he approves of your "membership"...we can get you fully integrated into our organization.

[killerrabbit213]

Tifa:its usually men who do the snooping

[Naked Crook]

Trust Agent: Not in this organization lady. We are expected to show a level of professionalism.

[killerrabbit213]

Tifa:i guess I'll just stay in here

[Naked Crook]

Trust Agent: I would recommend that... The Trust agent was about to turn away and leave, but he stopped himself. Trust Agent: I really need to know...why did you defect?

[killerrabbit213]

Tifa:oh i found out that he killed my parents and i got upset,i suppose it wasn't smart but can't do nothing about it now

[Naked Crook]

Trust Agent: Vernette has killed a lot of people. It is second nature to him.
