She didn’t feel like being arrested by the Galactic Bazaar’s police forces for helping out the other Star Marines. It caused her to give out a sigh of relief for making it back onto the Xuanzang. Many things were going on in her mind, and she was heavily scared and didn’t enjoy that one bit. All she wanted to do was shopping with her boyfriend, but it looks like that was dashed. It was like as a Star Marine, and there can’t be any normalcy in their lives or something. Narvia slightly sighed but slightly looked on her face when Ashton spoke about how many returned to the Xuanzang. She shook her head slightly but took a few minutes before responding to him. [color=FFB6C1]” I’m here, Ashton. W-What the hell was that? I wanted to go shopping with my boyfriend.” [/color] Narvia said. She took a few seconds to, in her frustration, realize she said boyfriend and gasped slightly. It made her blush a bit and cover her face in embarrassment by what she had said. Therefore, there was a bit of silence from her for a while, but she recognized a new person among the group: Klein. Narvia didn’t know Klein since she was part of the Dragon’s Brigade Fleet and far away from the fighting in some ways. However, her godfather’s fleet fought no matter what, but she wasn’t involved in the war that much. [color=FFB6C1]” Hello, nice to meet you, Klein.” [/color] Narvia said with a smile on her face. When Flame blatantly interrupted Ashton’s welcoming back and told Klein to lower his mental barriers so Avelyn can mentally scan him. She had been taken aback by Flame, but Ashton agreed with the sentiment because of [i]Crowley[/i] primarily. Narvia didn’t want to add conversation anymore since she might embarrass herself again. She did that by saying boyfriend, and there was only one person she was near during that Alan’s magic going haywire. It was Finbarr, for that instance, and it was a bit of a problem for her to be so open as she is. However, then Natasha came into the Lobby and talked about some things. [color=FFB6C1]” Alan’s magic w-went haywire for some odd, weird reason. I-I don’t know how that happened, though, since I didn’t think that was possible for it to occur.” [/color] Narvia responded to Natasha. She was giving out an honest reply since she doesn’t know how that happened. Narvia was most shocked when Phi was mentioned saying she disappeared, and that hurt her so much. She couldn’t help but tear up slightly from what was said because Phi did make her a plushie seal. [color=FFB6C1][i]’ Phi, why did you have to disappear?’ [/i][/color] Narvia thought to herself. She was a bit torn on what to do next, but she does have Finbarr to make her feel better from all these horrible events. It did give her an honest thought about how much more will it take to feel normal rather than feeling like she’ll never have that. [color=FFB6C1][i]’ W-What did Nikolas say? Oh yeah. Don’t give up if you do, then how will you ever fight for what you want in your life.’ [/i][/color] Narvia thought with regaining her smile. It wouldn’t be a good idea to stay depressed or give up since that would be hurting her godfather’s wishes.

Primarily it protects Conner's home from outside threats that would be deemed threatening to Conner's plans. There was only one good news from the war that ended one month ago: Narvia F. Hadley was Killed in Action against the alien menace. Conner had been waiting for Narvia's death for a while. He can start on the next phase of his plans that involve Mars. Conner had been in his overseer office and decided to call a single person from three separate divisions in his Military Company. All of them are women of differing skill sets, but they are required to get different orders for his next plan that involves the filth that infests his home. Only one of them has done their best to uphold the ordeals of his Gravia Military Company through their determination. All because they don't want to fail their husband nor daughter, which would be Silvia. He waited but didn't have to wait too long for them to all arrive at his office. [hider=Meadow I. Augustus: O3NS5E-Trial, Gravia Military Experimental Division] [img] https://i.pinimg.com/236x/6b/52/f9/6b52f9d702a15d230a13a068d5f41442.jpg [/img][/hider] [hider=Silvia D. Morgan: 9DA9E5-Tribulation, Gravia Military Assassin Division] [img] https://i.pinimg.com/236x/e3/01/a0/e301a0e950681983148fff00e200f6ae.jpg [/img][/hider] [hider=Alicia E. Whitfield: 6EE5A9-Codex, Gravia Military Guard Division] [img] https://i.pinimg.com/564x/d6/bc/be/d6bcbecf463aeaa53ab125a1f24e52c9.jpg [/img][/hider] These three women saluted their Overseer as they must or might have to be reprogrammed by Conner for their failure. Meadow was the only one that was eager enough to get on with the meeting while she could tell Silvia and Alicia was nervous. [color=8B0000]" Overseer, what do you desire of the Experimental Division? I thought our Division would be needed for the final phase." [/color] Meadow said respectively. Her Division deals with experimental weapons that the other divisions would deploy. Conner looks at Silvia, Meadow, Alicia and sighs at Alicia's improper conduct of not wearing the Estate Guard Uniform for the third time. He shakes his head in disappointment, but he thinks of the answer that he should give to Meadow in specific. It doesn't take him long to give her an answer. [color=B0C4DE]" Your Overseer wants the Experimental Division to ramp up the deployment of our next generation sniper rifles and ammo." [/color] Conner said towards Meadow. It shows that the Time Table has changed about specific targets, but Sarah did talk to him before this reassignment. Meadow nods at the order that her Overseer has given her, but she gave out a small please can I still have your attention type of sigh. Also, she knows how much annoying filth can be in a home that you want to live in it but him being kind to them is too much. [color=8B0000]" I have another question, Overseer? What do you plan to do with the roaches in your home? I would love to kill them for you to show my loyalty. Since you despise what flows in their veins, don't you?" [/color] Meadow asked, trying not to overstep her boundary. All she wants is the knowledge she has killed something for her Overseer, and hopefully, he will give her the go-ahead. Conner rubs his forehead slightly and sighs, looking directly at Meadow's eyes. His stare was to the point, and he pulls up Meadow's Statistics in the Gravia Military Company. So, it seems like her stress levels are too much, and she requires a bit of a break to recoup herself. [color=B0C4DE]” Meadow. I now order you to take a month off of being the Experimental Division's Head. You are right, I despise what flows in their veins, but I was moved by Sarah's argument that killing them now wouldn't be good since I have my priorities as such. Therefore, you can bring all these questions to Sarah's face instead. If you step out of bounds one more time, I will have to reprogram you." [/color] Conner said in a slightly angered tone. He despises when the people underneath the Dedicated get a thick head thinking they can favor him. Meadow shivered down her spine when Conner stared directly at her in that way. She also noticed the stats from Conner's Omnitool and deeply sighed for her action against the Dedicated's Decision in deciding the fate of those roaches in Conner's home. [color=8B0000]" Y-Yes, Overseer. I will get on that leave. I will talk to Sarah whenever she isn't busy with her shopping at Shopping District Sector Nine." [/color] Meadow said, saluting to Conner. She couldn't stop shaking after being threatened to be reprogrammed, but it seems like their Overseer is hard-pressed to keep his priorities straight. Therefore, Meadow left the Overseer's office, but she would tell her Division about the new orders before she goes. Conner turns his chair and gets a bottle of expensive red wine, that's a one-hundred-year-old vintage 2375 AD. He sits the bottle of wine on his desk and pours himself a glass, and takes a taste testing sip of it. The recreational use of alcohol that he usually drinks is usually the way to relax and chat with his toy soldiers in a more casual tone. [color=B0C4DE]" You two have been quiet as a mouse. Guess your Overseer scared you with the threat to Meadow of Reprogramming?" [/color] Conner asked curiously. At the same time, he is holding his wine glass in his left hand and looking over their statistics from his omnitool. Silvia looks towards Alicia and back to Conner. She dislikes the threat of reprogramming them back to a pawn to follow his orders to the letter. It took Silvia a few seconds before she decides to respond to Conner's question. [color=FFE4E1]" I can't believe you, Overseer. Was there a reason you asked for us three specifically? I know I've killed in your name all those poor people they didn't need to die in the name of who you are loyal to." [/color] Silvia said with a tone of disbelief and hate. She doesn't want to kill any more people in the name of the Gravia Military Company because it's hurting her mentally and everything. Conner sighs at Silvia's tone, but he knew that the top assassin has been having trouble of late. All that death that Silvia still remembers to this day that she's never allowed to let go but get a brief respite after reprogramming her. [color=B0C4DE]" There is a reason why I asked for your specifically Silvia. I want you to assassinate the heads of the Faletti Corporation. If you refuse, you will be transferred to [i]Astervole One.[/i] Therefore, you won't be able to see your daughter Julia S. Morgan or your husband John I. Morgan until you accept." [/color] Conner said with a tone of emphasis on Astervole One. Silvia's reaction was utter disgust and fear in her reaction to hearing Astervole One. Her disgust was that Conner wants her to kill her biological parents, Brenda and Austin. It was a hard choice, and she starts crying with a hard choice, and she knows she cannot harm the Overseer nor his children. [color=FFE4E1]" I-I hate you! You are making me choose between my biological parents or the happiness of my daughter and husband. Y-You monster, do you have a SOUL?" [/color] Silvia asked with tears going down her face. She loves her parents, but she was kidnapped by Conner's Military Company and hasn't been able to see her parents ever since. He even forced her to be with John I. Morgan so they can have a daughter. Conner enjoys the reaction from Silvia; it makes her one of the more helpful toy soldiers in his arsenal of soldiers. He can tell her words were cracking, and she had to question if he had a soul or that it's become black. [color=B0C4DE]" Give me the answer now, Silvia. I wish I could tell you if I have a soul, but I felt incredible loss when my mother had died." [/color] Conner said. He wants to know her decision now so he can start dealing with his other plans. All because Conner wants Silvia to be the one to end her parents' lives so he, in essence, can be able to Hostile Takeover her parent's company with her permission. Silvia feels a shiver down her spine when he orders her for her answer now, and the response that she got was horrible. She did remember Rena's death on the news all those years ago but didn't think it affected the Hadley In-Vector Corporation nor the Gravia Military Company that badly. However, it did, and now she has to follow the orders of a madman that wants to take over Mars. [color=FFE4E1]" Overseer, I will do what you ask. I will kill Austin E. Faletti and Brenda J. Faletti. So, I can stay with my daughter and husband. They deserve my love more than my parents." [/color] Silvia said with tears still going down her cheeks. Conner was pleasantly surprised by what Silvia had spoken, and it felt like she wanted to say more but didn't. He didn't care what Silvia would say anyway about what her family could have done with him because not that many people mourned for Rena's death. All those rivals he had somewhat laughed that his mother died, and they deserve their desserts. [color=B0C4DE]" Wonderful, you can start the Operation whenever. It isn't a time-sensitive operation but as long as you are truthful about killing them. I will let you have free reign to see Julia and John since they are your family. I do hope you will succeed in killing them. They are an obstacle to my plan and are near the top of the priority list of mine." [/color] Conner said. He saluted Silvia to leave and prepare for the correct time to kill her mother and father. Silvia hears the good news from the Overseer since all the other times she was assassinating someone, it was time-sensitive. The Operation's name is probably Faletti's Fall, which the other operations didn't have a name but the target's name only. She is grateful that she'll be having free reign to see her child and husband but before she left. Silvia does the salute to Conner and then leaves the Overseer Office to prepare for the Operation and see how her eleven-year-old daughter is doing. Alicia gulps that now she's the last one left and has to deal with Conner's demeaning presence to her specifically. She tries to be strong in adversity, but all those traumas that she has to contend with are that Gravia Military Personnel picked her off the streets. It didn't help that Alicia was one of those statistics of being homeless with no family to take care of her nor anyone wanting to, and Alicia hoped to gain some normalcy in Conner's PMC. Her husband Justin and her daughter Alma despises her because she frequently falls back on her crunches of alcohol and drugs. [color=FAEBD7]" W-What am I supposed to do, Overseer? Y-You know how much I fail and everything." [/color] Alicia said, nervous and shaking. She remembers all the hate Justin gives her, but they have to stay together for the new generation of PMC soldiers. Conner's reaction to Alicia's fear and nervous feelings and gave out a sigh about that to make sure there were no future problems. He looks up the Whitfield family's statistics to see how badly they are doing. They are doing badly money-wise since Alicia is spending her wage on drugs and alcohol to fix her. [color=B0C4DE]" Alicia, I think I should reassign you before you do something that will cause me to reprogram you. I'm going to give you a look over all these identification codes, Alicia." [/color] Conner said. He shows the identification codes to Alicia by having them shown up on his omnitool's primary module. Primarily it is because there are many divisions inside of the Gravia Military Company. Alicia felt like this is a chance to make amends for her failures, but she's in disbelief that her Overseer wants to help her. She took the news of reassignment in stride because it'll help her be happier. However, the identification codes went over her head while seeing them on the Overseer's Omnitool. [color=FAEBD7]" Umm, Overseer, sir, what do all those identification codes mean? I-I know you taught all Gravia personnel to read, but those are a bit confusing for me." [/color] Alicia said, a bit confused. Conner felt like Alicia was at the orientation when they talked about each Division's identification code, but he guesses she glossed over it. He slightly laughs at her confusion since it'll be better to give her a crash course on the identification codes again. [color=B0C4DE]" I can see why you are failing every task I give you, then I did tell everyone to pay attention during orientation of the identification codes and the numbers you will receive. I'm not that bothered in telling you about these codes again." [/color] Conner said. He didn't suspect that everyone paid attention to it, but that's an optimistic viewpoint. [color=B0C4DE]" These are the identification codes of Codex, Tribulation, Argia, Dergia, Jergus, Trial, Riel, Kiel, and Marin. The Gravia Military Guard Division has the Codex Code, which you are part of as personnel. It is why you were assigned to defend my Estate." [/color] Conner said. He feels like Alicia would get some whiplash from talking about Silvia and Meadow's divisions on top of hers. Alicia had gotten whiplash from hearing about the identification codes and her specific assignment as an Estate Guard. She ignored orientation since she didn't understand anything about what was being said. However, it makes sense why she was assigned as an Estate Guard, but she hardly pays attention to the tasks at the Estate. [color=FAEBD7]" Umm, what do the others mean? Overseer, i-is there an F-Flower B-Based G-Gravia D-Division?" [/color] Alicia asked. She only has one other comfort outside of drugs and alcohol, and that's plants. Her husband dislikes Alicia's obsession with them because they won't make any difference. Conner smiles when he hears her question about specifically Flower Based Division since there is one. If Alicia paid attention to the orientation of his toy soldiers, she would have been appropriately allocated instead of improperly. [color=B0C4DE]" Yes, there is a Gravia Military Botanist Division. It's underneath the identification code of Kiel. Therefore, Alicia, your new identification number will be 6EE5A9-Kiel effective immediately. Also, please report to the Botanist Division to help yourself make plants your heart's desire. I will contact Justin L. Whitfield and order him to stop yelling at you for being a failure. You are no longer a failure in my eyes, Alicia."[/color] Conner said. He knew Alicia didn't fit as a Gravia Military Estate Guard but didn't know where she could exactly work. She was too nervous about speaking up about her inaccuracies in how she was feeling. Alicia sighed in relief to be assigned what she wants to be part of in the Military Company she feels safe. She feels a bit off to hear the Overseer contact her husband and order him to stop bitching at her. It took her a bit to salute Conner, her Overseer and finds the Gravia Military Botanist Division. After all that, Conner continued to drink his red wine and looks at the files of Lana, Freya, and Ashley that who still has records on his desk. All because he knows sooner or later, Conner will regain his Estate without the need of bloodshed or people ignoring his orders. Conner only needs one more vindication as Conner had gotten from the Coalition-Ascendancy War, and that's Nikolas's Retirement. Therefore, he will wait until that is official so he can do it through proper channels. [color=B0C4DE]" I can't wait to see the look of utter dread on Lana's face when I tell her that Nikolas isn't going to rescue her." [/color] Conner said with a smile on his face. He slightly laughs at how enjoyable that will be to see from the dread on her face.[/hider]
