[hider=Voided][Center][h1][b]=Unexpected Setbacks=[/b][/h1][/Center] Martin read the message sent to him, he didn't mind, he was used to having more than one fleet present during an investigation within suspected rebel systems however it did mean that there would be a timer for how long he can keep pressing on Konev before deciding whether or not to help him or get rid of him, however he did consider sending one of his own personal spies towards to "Speak" with the Gargan governer Ohr-sah, perhaps at a later date. [@Sophrus] (Colab some time?) If Konev was uncooperative and the Governor turn out to be a dead end, perhaps the local forces will be more willing to share information, however he also knew that with him being human, he'd need someone to relay his intentions and gain more trust with Crayven populous, and the fact the Crayvens are not exactly great conversationalists don't help the situation all too much. He pondered once again whether or not there were really just filthy useless Xenos or if they were as Konev reports, "Useful", he dared even a step farther to think of them as, "People". Of course he shook his head again, only one thing will convince him of that thought and that is if a Xeno would save a human being without the need of coercion, blackmail, or gain, if a Xeno would act out of his own free independent will to save a human being from harm. Being in multiple sectors of heavy Xeno presence he has never seen any act like this in the slightest, thus his mistrust. He sent a reply to the message encoded with the same encryption and level of security. [quote] To: Inqirius Jol Understood, I will do my duty to the fullest and I will be thorough as always; expect a long term assignment if nothing "extravagant" happens, I would also request Admiral Langerhan's fleet to join the 87th for good measure, he is currently assisting MacerIndustries conduct tech experiments for the Empirium's weapons, ships, armor, and other military equipment, some have been tested and proven to work in a controlled environment according to my intel as classified as it is, what better way to test it than in an active patrol? Just a suggestion Inqirius, however that will be all, long live the Empirium, long live the Emperor of mankind. -Spymaster Kell [/quote] Martin gritted his teeth as he typed "Emperor of mankind", he scoffed and said "Mankind... Mankind? Mankind was born free." He sent the transmission and let out a sigh, he looked out from the bridge of the Agincourt, he looked at Admiral's rest, and again he scoffed, "Admiral's rest, how ironic that in a few days it won't be a place of rest for anyone as the Empire laid it's eyes on it." he listed his assignments and kept his chilling cold aura spread across the bridge, the silence, the crew were used to it, the Spymaster was capable of immense calm, even in the most stressful situations, he was a man that every officer in his fleet and everyone else who knows about him come to respect, his cunning, cruel, yet merciful nature has become his most notable traits aside from him being very thorough with his work.
