Re: Commander's Quarters
People were silent for a bit. For those not ESN Delta Fleet..the wieght of the upcoming Jump off was massive. This wasn't Russsa, or even Vera. This was Paradise . The home of the Angels.
Sten, the Sanri Ambassador rose his hand and spoke.Humans have been actively fighting this was fo almost 6 years..in that time, planets were freed, or conquoered , even when the Delta Fleet was hit hard, they managed to beat our enemies . The Battle of The Black, when the Hades lead the enemy? The Delta Fleet survived. That was with The Hades Captain, privey to all the training that was put into the ESN at the time... The worse that could hapen, is we get repelled. I will be on this Vessel with My wife... I will not fear of our lives...
Hennings speaks up. General Bale, Captain Morris and Myself, have looked through any Vids we could get, on past Conflicts the Angels fought without aid....whether they were propaganda, or real combat footage...
Bale hands him a clicker and another screen comes to life... There aren't any...... This is a battle..say> 400 years ago?.... Paradise ships with Sanri and Occui... this one...around the same era... Paradise with Felrites.....
The Felrite on the screens spoke up...That was the first, and only time, Paradise gave aid against the Qarl... they with drew near the end of the battle, but we managed to eek out a stand off, ...that lead to some talks over the century..and let the door open
to the EVOLs decades later, as more humans spilled into The Black... The turning point
was most of those EVOLs assassinated By the ESN, and the fight with the Qarl vessels that were still in our space. They chased the Qarl away . They even proved to be as
good as Felrites in some trials we had... Our Popel have no problem with following them into Paradise
Lilit said,If that is the case, Ambassador Kelo..perhaps your flag ship, can take the place of Mine, and we will protect Zolth and you can 'enjoy beating' the Angels.
Kelo smiled a fanged filed cat-smile.we would enjoy nothing more. But i cannot understand your wiliness , not to take part in this endevor?..If this is the Case..My flag ship can meet The Fleet at Astra... I will bring a ship or two extra..but... you will forgive me if i leave enough ships behind, In case Uden wants to retreat?
Lilit stands...You Dare!
Kelo's ears twitch, her smiles stays as she laughs a cat laugh.
Litit was Pulled down, not gently, By Sade, who whirled and grinded, loudly.
The Ambassador says Granmod shames us.... fear oif failure is good, it keeps you focused...but to give into the fear and run away, is inexcusable.
to that end... Admiral Hack. I tender my transfere request to The hermes, or whichever Vessel you think i may aid... I will not run from this fight, that the Fleet, My brother and my father are diving head long into!
Lilit was shocked to her core..here eyes flickering from white to grey.
several of the alien ambassador ( even those on CAM) stood and clapped for Dusk's proclamation
Captain Si finished a bite of her food , followed that with a sip of water.What say you to that, Warlord. Shadow was left out of this meeting on your behalf...
Lix. was the first of many to spout a word of surprise... they all looked at Lilit.
... Shadow, is nothing more the a weapon that can talk.... he would eagerly fly into Paradsie alone. without thinking of what could go wrong, when he fails... I wanted my granmods to make their choices on Thier won...with our a crazed killer's input.
Shade grinded and bleeped loudly. Lilit looked shocked.
Ambassador Shade, says , he has never been more proud to be part Human... I am also of that thought. Vera fell, because Adem and Evert, tried to stay out of the way, and ...how do humans say it? grab the low hanging fruit? They feared, what became, My brother and I.To not, follow My Father into battle, is something i could not live with...The shame would kill me, as easy as a Draconian Pulse round.
Captain Si looked around the table, she saw the looks, and the smiles, whether they were large, or just a hint.Id that is your Wish, Captain Shadow, speak with Captain Morris after the meeting and your transfer to The Hermes wil be written out today. Once on board here with your belonging, we will see if you wish to stay, or find a ship That you may command on your own.
Lilit looks at Dusk...you would leave me?
No Granmod, you are leaving me... I am staying with Father.
lilit's eyes grow a bit darker as she looks at Roy.That is not the only reason you want to stay.
No...it is not... Dusk smiled a bit at Roy
Admiral Hack interrupted,Then? this is what will be.. Lilit will break off from the fleet in her flag ship. The Felrites will send thier flagship, and any, if any? Ships that want to take Part. Once the Warlord leaves, Captain Shadow and I will have talks with the Undenese vessels, if none are comfortable swithc Captains at this moment in time, Captain Shadow will stay on the Hermes , until a vessel needs a captain.... Ambassadoe Kelo? You will have someone in commanded of the 'backdoor support, to protect Astra, Zolth and the Moons.. Lilit will be there to help Co-Ordinate... we will give any Undesne ships the choice of following Lilit, or staying the course...
Lilit seemed dumbfounded, at what just occurred...
Rivets looked down the table...see that , Warlord..didn't make no never mind, that me Boyo wasn't here... His kids have the same backbone....maybe twice that, considering who their mum was...
Captain Morris sipped his tea, he gave Dusk a bit of a smile and wink.
