I can't see what you're imagining
-Mars: Rebel Tunnels-

“Hammah's not a soldier though... I don't think having him go off and be one is very productive...” a new voice said, walking down the shuttles.

It was Spork, Hammah's father, wearing a slightly grungy lab coat and goggles, a black outfit underneath it.

“Dad!” Hammah said, “I thought you were...”

“Compiling data,” Spork said idly, waving a hand, “Heard you came back from a successful mission. Figured I could pick up the data on your HERC.”

He frowned, “But Hammah... I don't think you should do this. You'd do more good in a lab, working on things for people...”

Hammah sighed. His dad did have a point... but he wanted to prove himself... a bit like his brother...

Spork paused for a moment, tapping a device on his ear, “Ugh... it's the Emperor again. Claiming that we humans here on Mars should just shut up and make sure Earth is fortified for their own good.”

Spork did not have a high opinion of the Emperor.

-Earth: Imperial Palace-

Jimi nodded towards Kxs, being quiet as he listened to the Emperor. He felt a little uncomfortable... He could already hear his dad arguing against what the Emperor said in his head... But then, Jimi could see both sides of the issue. It's why he became a Knight. He wanted to try and fix things from within the system...

But his dad seemed to think that the system couldn't be fixed, and needed to be replaced. And Hammah followed their dad...

[Imperial Palace]

“Yeah… that whole stuff with the Emperor…” Musashi lowered his voice and shook his head. “I don’t know. I know it’s probably pretty bad for me to say this… but I’m not sure it’s a good idea for the Emperor to still be, well, the Emperor. After 200 years living connected to a machine… can he even relate to people anymore?”

Musashi shook his head.

“I dunno..”

[…]

It was Brahne’s turn to speak. She approached the podium looking a bit skittish. She stepped up to the mike and twitched a bit. She delivered an unusual speech, the entire time mumbling and muttering. She rubbed the back of her neck repeatedly.

She sounded unusual. The speech itself was fine, but her voice cracked repeatedly and when she finished, she stepped off the stage and quickly fled out of the room, moving a bit too fast.

[Rebel Tunnels]

A new voice came over the com-link. It was the voice of AVALANCHE’s commander, Barrett Wallace.

“If Harabec wants to borrow my people, then he can call me about it himself.” Barret said, in his usual gruff voice. “It shouldn’t be a problem, but I need to okay it first.”

Imperial Palace, Earth

The ceremony of the party was over, and the people had began to disperse again.

"Anyone who wishes to address me in person..." the emperor added. "...may speak to the guards about an audience tonight."

His hologram vanished.

Didymus, for his part, seemed to think little of Brahne's nervousness...or he would have, but for Garnet's statements.

PTSD is to be expected...but was there something more...? he wondered.

The party would be over soon, and already some of the people probably were filtering out...though the invitation to stay was still open.

Didymus made his way over to Garnet.

"Lady Garnet? That...your mother DID seem a bit...jittery...but...she WAS in a cybrid prison camp. Hopefully she'll come around, though I imagine you know more about the events of your household?"

He paused, reflecting on if he should ask to meet her again or something...

Nah, she's just being polite with ya...you don't want to impose...besides, you don't really KNOW her. Though now's as good a chance as you're gonna get...

He tried to silence his thoughts and pay attention to her reply.


Mars-Rebel tunnels

Harabec's voice came again, but this time it sounded up close. "How about come in PERSON?" he asked, and if they looked down the tunnel a bit, they'd see him standing there.

He was a tall, brown-haired and brown-eyed man, with a pair of "war paint" stripes on each cheek (for some reason). He looked a tad rougeish, but those with a keener eye would bet that he cleaned up very well.

"I'm sorry for going over your head there, Wallace, but these dusters of yours fought pretty well against what may well have been an Imperial ambush. And as it stands, we're...recently short a bit...I could use the help. Only with your consent of course-I know we're all very, very busy." he grinned.

"But I promise you this-my people, and those who ride with them-take the big bites outta the Empire. You want to loosen Imperial hold on Mars, I promise you that you'll be on the fast track to that with us. So whatddya say? A mission once in a while isn't so bad, is it? I can't promise they'll be SAFE, obviously, but...I'm sure I have some of your attentions."

He probably was only worrying Spork.

KxS had been smiling during the Emperor's speech, but her mind began to wander. That nagging question that had raced through her brain the whole time she was here; was she here because she wanted to be, or because Jimi was here?

Her grin faded into a fake smirk. She had to wonder, was she really being independent and making up her own mind, or was she being influenced by her young, feminine hormones? She refused the urge to slap herself to get over that thought. The fact of the matter was that her reason wasn't that important compared to here being there anyway. She had come this far, she might as well keep going.


Mars-Rebel Tunnels

The young, purple-haired woman glared at Harabec after she exited her HERC. She wasn't trying to be offensive or rude, no, but she was studying him. His whole appearance told her that he had fought a good deal of battles and was not done yet. She could tell he was tough, yet responsible. A leader who knew exactly what he was doing.

However, Strobe kept silent. She just stretched her legs and put her hands in her hoodie's pockets. Because this was something important, she kept her headphones wrapped around her neck and her music down. She leaned against her machine and gave out a sigh.

Spork sighed, shaking his head a little.

“Whatever happens, it's Hammah's choice to go along or stay here,” Spork said. He didn't think a war of attrition would work well against the Empire, not when they had all the resources. But if they could force a full scale revolution, and then the Empire would have to either declare a full scale war on Mars, which might lead to other citizens rising up...

But trying to meet them head on, in Spork's opinion, was not going to work.

Thankfully, he and Hammah were working on something that might help tip the scales...

Hammah sighed, then turned to Harabec, “How long do we have to decide?”

-Imperial Palace-

Kyran frowned a little, then turned to Musashi after a moment, smiling and tugging on his arm, “Come on... let's go do something fun! Can we leave the party or something?”



Jimi glanced towards Kxs, seeing the worry on her face.

“Is something wrong?” Jimi asked Kxs.

Garnet slowly shook her head. She didn’t know how to respond to Didymus. Her mother’s condition was a disturbing thing for her to think about. Garnet knew all too well – better than most.

“I…” Garnet sighed. “I cannot discuss this here… but please, contact me later. I would like to talk to you.”

[…]

Musashi nodded with an enormous grin on his face. “Yeah! Let’s get out of here. I’ll show you the real party. I know a pretty cool place that’s not too far away from here.”

[Rebel Tunnels]

“I’m in.” Asuka said, stepping forward and crossing her arms.

Didymus blinked. She...wanted to talk with him? Probably about this issue with her family.

He found himself hoping that this was a gesture of friendliness or something, not an invitation to participate in a conspiracy...

"Um, of course, Lady Garnet. Is...there some way I can reach you? Some comm line or...a time I can meet you somewhere or...um, something like that?"

For having initiated the conversation with her, he was now really nervous/uncertain when it looked like it may actually be getting somewhere.

"...I mean, I would very much like to speak with you again..." he said.

You STILL don't know her much...of course, remedying that would require this, right...?


Caanon looked out over the party, and his knights. There was already an exercise planned for them soon, but no need to remind them now...

Rebel tunnels, Mars

"You've got as long as you like to decide, but the next mission could be coming VERY soon. I like to keep busy." Harabec said.

When Asuka stepped forward, he grinned.

"Excellent. I'll be contacting you later with the details of our first outing together. But for now, you should get some rest. And repairs, your HERCs DID take some beatings in the last little skirmish." he said.

KxS' body jolted when Jimi addressed her. Her eyes quickly faced the boy. "Huh? Oh, um, yeah everything's fine. Why do you ask?"

She didn't realize it, but her hands ended up behind her back. She found a long time ago that her arms gathered more warmth from being crossed behind her instead of in front. It has been a way fro her to comfort herself for so long it had become a nervous habit, like chewing nails and plucking hairs.


Mars-Rebel Tunnels

Strobe's nostrils flared while she thought. She was always on her toes about people she knew little about, especially those with some form of power. She had little trust for this man, no matter his war experience or skills. However, this was a great opportunity. This needed more thought than she could gather at the moment.

"I'll sleep on it," she told him after lifting herself from her leaning. "Right now, I have a machine that needs repairs."

Kyran smiled, “Ohhhh, sounds like fun! Let's go!”

She held unto Musashi's arm, smiling brightly up at him.



“You just seemed really nervous, is all,” Jimi answered, nervous himself. He often worried about what he might be ordered to do... or fight... He wondered what his limit would be, if he would ever be given an order that he would have to refuse...

Or if he'd meet his brother or father on the field of battle.

“I wonder what our first mission will be,” Jimi said idly, “Hopefully somewhere that we can fight the Cybrids...”

He didn't want to end up on Mars if he could help it, but it wasn't his choice.

-Mars: Rebel Tunnels-

“...I'll help however I can,” Hammah spoke up, “I can fight, but I'm better with engineering, so, keep that mind...”

The party was finally ending, and Didymus paused.

"Oh, well, um, Lady Garnet...here is my contact information..." he said, finding a pen and some paper (or just using his PDA or something), and sending her/giving her various channels he could be reached at.

"In the meantime, it looks like it's time to leave...it was good to meet you, lady, and I do look forward to speaking with you again..."

The party would soon end, and with it, the day.


Rebel tunnels, Mars

Harabec nodded at the company gathered.

"I'll hopefully be seeing you all real soon..." he said. "...have a good one. Talk in a bit." he added, and turned to leave.

Knight Headquarters, Earth

The Knight headquarters on Earth was, like the palace, part fortress, part museum, part living quarters, and ultimately all military base. It was a large complex, but today a meeting was being held, to brief the Knights on their next assignment...a training mission.

The new squad assignments had been sent out, and today they would be tested to see how they worked...

Caanon stood at center of the briefing room, and Didymus had taken a seat inside, awaiting his own squad...

In the center of the room, over Caanon, was a holographic projection of the moon...

Tifa's "Seventh Heaven", Mars

Tifa was busy cleaning up after the lunch rush...or what of it existed in their small town...she had heard yesterday's mission had gone well, and that another rebel leader had taken notice of their group...

...she actually had mixed feelings about that, but focused on cleaning out the beer mug in her hands.

-Knight Headquarter's: Earth-

Zadkiel was in the room himself, having already taken a seat, looking over some files as he waited for the others.

Aiden entered as well, followed by Elysia and Jimi, who took their own seats.

-Mars: Tifa's Bar-

Spork and Hammah entered the bar, both looking a little worn out and a bit tired.

“Hey Tifa!” Hammah said, as his father took a seat, “Dad and I needed a break from our work... Got any specials for today?”

Earth-Knight Headquarters

KxS had followed Jimi in. She gave her arms and back a good stretch before sitting down.


Mars-Tifa's Seventh Heaven

Strobe entered a few seconds after the Sporks did. She had her headphones over her ears again, but took them off when she sat down. Her music was almost blaring from the speakers.

Her head was still on that offer that Harabec gave her and the team. Even after her short nap she couldn't come up with a decision, so she though something fruity would help.

Didymus nodded to Aiden, and Caanon looked out as the room slowly began to fill.

"It looks like we won't be going far." Didymus said. "Just a quick exercise and we're back, right?" he half joked, yet hoped.

He didn't want to leave Earth so soon after returning...

Tifa's "Seventh Heaven", Mars

Tifa smiled at the new arrivals-Spork, Hammah and Strobe alike.

"Yeah." She said, her smile becoming a grin. "-imported Earth produce. Tropical fruit salad, straight from islands in the Pacific Ocean." she added. "All-natural, though I suppose the food here can be said to be that sometimes too..."

The fact that certain foods from Earth had (arguably) higher quality wasn't a product of Imperial propaganda, nor was it a result of the Fortress Earth Proclamation. Food raised in the climate it was meant for (arguably) improved it. At any rate, it was, again, "all-natural", to an extent.

"So...what'll it be?" she asked the group.

Aiden tried to sit near Didymus without appearing like she was actually trying to sit near him.

“Where's the exercise taking place?” Jimi wondered, “The moon or something?”

-Mars: Tifa's Seventh Heaven-

Hammah was drooling slightly at the idea of fresh fruit salad.

“Two of those fruit salads, I suppose,” Spork said with a smirk, pulling out some money to pay for it, Hammah grinning happily.

Didymus didn't seem to notice Aiden's sitting near. She seemed a little close, but he brushed it off.

Caanon nodded at Jimi's question.

"It is. You will be organized into your new squads to test how you perform in your new teams-and in your new roles. And be at your best-several prominent figures of the aristocracy will be watching, as will the News Nets reporters. This is to remind the people of the Empire of our competence and professionalism." he said, not elaborating on the issue further.

Though the fact that it was following on the heels of the Emperor's addressing the Martian issue was not likely lost on most anyone paying attention...

Tifa's "Seventh Heaven", Mars

Tifa smiled, nodding.

"I gotta warn you, this stuff isn't cheap." she said, quickly disappearing into her kitchen, and emerging a few minutes later with a pair of small fruit salads.

She placed them down on the bar counter. "ORDER UP!" she called, though they were, along with Strobe, the only current occupants of the bar.

"That'll be 20. Each." she said, then paused. "...17, because you're friends. Don't say I never took care of you." she grinned.

She was quiet for a moment.

"So, any thought about everything that's going on? I know that Hammah going off would be dangerous, but it's kinda weird. Harabec approaches us with offers of a partnership on the day the emperor gives a speech about Mars...and I hear the Knights are going to have some highly-publicized training exercises on the moon soon..." she said.
