Takeoff in 15, so move your asses." The pilot of a large cargo and transport ship shouted commands at lazy EOM workers, whow were clearly thinking that their job sucks. But in low threat planets like Icarus, most of the Militia helped out the local economy, or provided logistics services instead of fighting battles. Then again, the Vespen danger and their attack 2 days prio left most of the recruits itching for another fight. A large group of EOM soldiers and battle-ready Order troops arrived at the ship, and took the pilot off guard. Shee almost dropped the datapad she was carrying, and had to take a few deep breaths before looking directly at the group. "Grandmaster! I wasn't expecting you for another 10 minutes. The ship is not ready for takeoff yet, and we're still..." She was cut off by an EOM officer who stepped forward from the ranks of the other Milita members. He wore a large trench coat adorned with large epaulettes. From within the large coat, he grabbed another datapad, and handed it to the pilot. He didn't say a word, but he gestured at the datapad before walking away from the Order troops towards the end of the airfield, and leaving with the rest of the EOM troops. The pilot watched the officer leave, before looking back at the Grandmaster with an embarrased look. Before saying anything else, she quickly opened up the only file on the datapad. As soon as she tapped the file, the red and yellow bordering of top secret files appeared on the sides of the screen. She never saw one of these before, and she didn't know if she was allowed to read it at all, but her name on top of the message said otherwise. [quote] Lt Greeta, these are your new orders. We changed the plan due to last resort security issues, and we expect you to handle the information with utmost secrecy. You are to take the Grandmaster to Fleet 173, hiding behind the asteroid BD-73HD. Your transcode through the blockade is "Proper-Appointement-Study-Spelling". Fleet 173 has been already informed about your arrival, and they are waiting in blackout mode for your arrival. The Grandmaster is a VIP, and he should be taken aboard the main ship of the detachement, named "Shadow Gleam". You are to disable any sensors during your docking procedure. Your ship's databank will be wiped upon landing, and you must delete all backups before takeof. Furthermore you are now a member of the 173th Fleet detachement, and your job is to ferry the Grandmaster. We trust you for your loyalty to the Emporium for the last 12 years, and we sincereloy hope that you will not fail us. When you close this message, hand the tablet to the Grandmaster, and proceed with your routine. Glory to mankind! [/quote] The world took a 360 turn, and she was right in the middle of all the shitstorm it seemed. She didn't expect to be the personal pilot of the Grandmaster, but it was a elcome change from ferrying troops and and weapons. She closed the message, and handed the tablet to the Grandmaster in front of her. She took a step back and nod before leaving to the VTOL. The tablet showed a message that was differnet from teh previous both in content and colouring. The shimmering purple borders were of an unknown marking, and most people wouldn't know what it means. But those working with integrated xenos, would notice this marking from the messages of the SDF. [quote] Grandmaster Alexius You will be transported to your own fleet by Lt Greeta. The 173th fleet detachement is already staffed with necessary crew members, but you may appoint your own officers. The detachement is composed of 2 destroyers, 7 cruisers, 20 corvettes and 14 torpedo frigates. The destroyers and cruisers are equipped with troop transport capabilities, and you will find that the flagship "Shadow Gleam" has been stocked with standard Military grade weapons and vehicles. Use these resources wisely. Your assignement will be to provide the 35th fleet with escort, and be ready to deploy your troops for peacekeeping purposes at any time. You will be in Sector 17 for a total of 5 months, or longer if the situation escalates further. If you haven't already, I suggest you appoint someone to take your position in the governement. Your deeds for the EOM shall not be forgotten upon your succesful return from the mission, Grandmaster. Glory to mankind! [/quote]
