Silent as she listened to the demon's final contract and all that it had to offer to her. Her golden eyes remained on Bookman the entire time, not once did she look at any of the words that made up the contract. Whether it was further details about what resources would be given to her, or otherwise it wasn’t important at this moment. Whatever else the book held could be worried about at a later date. [h1][/h1] [color=f7941d]“Very well, that complicates the picture slightly, I’ll make note of Timekeepers current usefulness as I prepare future plans, however if the opportunity presents itself I will gather the artifact in his possession if it means the best chance of success, keeping in mind your current needs of his services"[/color] [h1][/h1] The situation with Timekeeper slightly complicated what he wanted from her and may limit her opportunities to get her hands on one of the artifacts. Which meant Orion or Cerberus would likely be easier targets to pursue and would be targets of priority over Timekeeper for the time being. Even with that said she kept her options open, you never know when the right opening presented itself and would serve up one of the artifacts on a platter. If that chance ever came up with Timekeeper she would take it with no regret. [h1][/h1] Even if it meant having a year contract that she had to adhere to, it would be well worth the price. She cared very little about The Hand, but it at least meant they would stay out of her way for the most part in exchange for her staying out of their way. Limiting potential threats and leaving her to focus her full attention upon Gemini, Maverick, the Inquisition and whoever else she deemed needed it. [h1][/h1] What was important was getting out of this prison and returning back to the task at hand. Now with her Endless Eclipse and new found powers and the extra resources now at hand she could implement her plan with great prejudice. Gemini had made a mistake letting her live and throwing her into a cell to be ignored and forgotten about. They would soon learn that they should have listened to her when they had the chance. [h1][/h1] Though the esper known as Sovereign perished due to Gemini’s failure, Oros The Greedy had taken her place. She reached her hand out one final time and took Bookman's hand into her own with a firm grip. Her face still emotionless, her golden eyes glowing as they stared into Bookman’s as if she was looking through him. It was time to leave this place and unleash her new powers upon Pax Septimus as she saw fit. Whatever help she got to serve as her own personal guard or crew was better than going at things solo. Even if she found some of them displeasing at any point, she knew she could still find a use for them. Being able to exchange them made it flexible and allowed her to adapt to situations as they arose. Allowing her to prepare for specific situations and put the people with the right skills into the right places for the right missions. [h1][/h1] [color=f7941d] “Make it five out of five…” [/color]
