THE SANCTUM, FORT MAXIMUS
Dorian Sevenar entered the conference room, immediately greeted upon entry by over a dozen Intelligence Officers of the Politorate, wearing white Neo-Imperial uniforms, calmly seated in their chairs around the oval-shaped table within the center of the room. An eerie silence had taken over the room as the Director-Admiral made his way towards his seat although he did not sit down upon reaching his spot. This meeting was not an ordinary one, rather it was an emergency session called in response to a recent bounty on the head of the High Regent of the Final Dawn, Marlon Sularen. To the Politorate, whose sole purpose was to ensure the continued success of the Final Dawn via the elimination of all threats to its integrity, this bounty represented an immediate threat to the Final Dawn.
It was designed with the sole purpose of depriving the Final Dawn of the individual responsible for transformation from a simple small subgroup operating from O’reen to a powerful organization whose reach was endless. As such, the Politorate needed to take the necessary measures to take down those who thought they could lay their filthy hands on the High Regent, before they could even lift a figure hence this meeting.
After taking a deep breath, the Director-Admiral proceeded to speak in a calm and assertive tone. “Gentlemen, it has come to our attention that a bounty has been placed on the head of our High Regent,” he began. “While this is no surprise and isn’t unprecedented, we have long allowed our foes both big and small to grow in strength, allowing their filth and disease to spread across the stars to our detriment, so that they could challenge our power with the delusional belief that they can put us down.”
“Today, we put an end to this. We shall take action against those who would perceive us as weak due to our inaction and remind them that we are a force beyond reckoning. One that will raid death and destruction upon its foes as we have done before at Noris and Xa Fel. And we shall begin our demonstration of force, by targeting those who have had the audacity to take up this treacherous bounty or even consider taking it up.”
“Already we have begun monitoring every channel regarding this bounty to identify all individuals who meet this criteria. You will all soon receive a file regarding these individuals along with all other individuals and organizations they are affiliated with. From there we will draw every possible plan to put down these people so that they can face our Regent’s Judgement and put these plans into motion as soon as possible."
“This is all for now. You are dismissed. Head to your offices, review these files and begin drawing up plans for our great retaliation. We shall reconvene at midnight for the presentation of every single one of these plans so that we can elaborate on an effective course of action. I hope I will not be disappointed.” With that, the Director-Admiral finally took his seat as the many intelligence officers around him began to leave the conference room en-masse. The Alliance had made a bold move in going straight for the High Regent, and now the Final Dawn would retaliate with all their might, bringing down the Hand of Judgement upon those who were foolish enough to pursue this foolish errand.
The Final Dawn never forgets nor forgives, and soon the galaxy would learn that the hard way by fire and blood.
