[b][u] Kasius [/u][/b] Some days since the arrival of the Hexanagallion fleet have long past and through the combined efforts of the HRF and local rebel forces, the planet has been mostly liberated, only small pockets of collective forces left on Kasius. It was truly a day of great celebration for the Kasian rebels, the fleets orbiting the planet a shining beacon of hope for all the rebellion. General Itinus Kosh, after some talks with the commanders of the fleet, had managed to secure an alliance with the Hexanagallions, the rebels providing manpower while the Hexanagallions provide transportation for the army of the yet to be announced new goverment. With the recent events, something drastic had to be done, it was both a great risk, and yet very much a necessary thing to do. Over the centuries, the rebels had slowly established a sort of Shadow Network, a means of safe and unmonitored communication, leaving the Collective deaf to such transmissions, for a certain amount of time and distance. The Network can only be so effective, if what had to be done was done so, the Collective would immediately be aware of every single cell operating in Collective Space. If Communication was two way, it was effectively invisible to the Collective's channels, but if a broadcast was made to multiple locations, the "shadow" effect would diminish, the Collective channels picking up and locating all sources of transmission and receivers. Nonetheless, it's a risk worth taking for the leaders of the Kasian Cell. [b][u] Kasius New Izuno, Rebel Headquarters [/u][/b] A group of high ranking members of the cell had gathered around the holo table in silence in sheer awe of what had been done and what was about to be done. Among the group was General Itinus Kosh and his second-in-command, some lower ranked officers and one particular individual that stood out among his peers, facing the officers on the other end of the table were members of the civlian branch, those men and women who have been taught and groomed to become the leaders of tomorrow, the ones to run the new goverment if that day were to ever come, and that day was today. Among the civilians stood [url=http://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/0a44e30b-6598-4601-bfb4-563471e77755.png]Argus Bradley[/url], an aged brown-skinned man in his late forties, dressed in blue, and brandishing a white cape, nearly touching the ground. He stood confidently among the worried faces in the crowd. "Is this really wise decision?" General Kosh spoke up. "We do this, and we risk compromising not only the Alpha Division, but all the others." The room fell silent. "We fail and millions, upon millions will die." "I know we can do this." Argus said, his confident expression swiftly changing to a more focused expression. "It's a risk I'm willing to take, we HAVE to do this." Argus paused, looking to both his left and right at his peers, they all gave brief nods of approval. "We've lived in fear for too long, now is the time to strike. Initial causalities will be high. But we can finally retake our homes and remove the threat of Agonis once and for all, the risk is worth it." The general remained silent, no objections to be made. "...Very well, sir." And with that, the general begun to briskly type the holo keys, as he was in the process of accessing the Shadow Network. A flash of light emerged from the console on the other end of the table as it scanned Argus. After a moment had passed, a "bing" sound was heard. "It's done, we're live to every single resistance base." Kosh said. Argus took a deep breath as he pressed down a single key, the machine scanning his face once more. "This is Argus Bradly of the Civilian Branch, Alpha Division. Today is a momentous day, my people. Not only have we liberated a planet, we did so with unexpected assistance. An agreement has been reached, we both have our own goals to accomplish and we will do so together, as one." Argus paused, clearing his throat. "As written in protocol, and as senior member of the branch, I hereby declare the creation of the United Republic of Kasius, under my rule and guidance, and the aide of our new allies, we begin the final campaign. The end of the Collective is nigh my people! Kasians! Even as I speak now, the Collective hears my words." Argus' tone had slowly shifted to something more passionate. "But do not fear! We will come for you! And we WILL strike down the machines and their horrid abominations! We will strike at the heart of the Collective and dismantle the Queen herself! We may suffer losses, but it is a price I and we all should make! Liberty for all species! Glory to the Republic!"
