The Admiral crossed his arms and said "I hate to burst your bubble Hawke, but odds are none of us will even want Suriso after the Reapers get done with it. Plus we will probably will have enough space in Sol alone to house us all. We might not even be able to sustain separate populations after this." he looked at Hawke and nodded at what he said about hopefully being able to come up with new tactics. The Venusian Admiral, a young looking woman in shock armour, said "Statistical probability of Hegemony, Commonwealth, GPF, and Space Pirates being able to drive back the Reapers without cooperation stands at the odds of 2,903,086,082,508 to one. However with our combine forces we stand the chance of 204,047,182 to one in conventional combat." the Neptunian nodded at the next thing and said "I didn't believe it when Admiral Tojo ordered the super heavy fleet to attack the Reapers head on, however apparently he allowed the GPF army, and several Neptunian civilian fleets to escape. War makes people stupid, we could have used those dreadnoughts." Yami just smiled and purred, pressing her head against his hand like cats do. The robot watched Hawke and said "I would hurry if I was you, we estimate the Reapers will overrun his command centre in 6 hours or less. Without the stealth drives on your ship he will be unable to evacuate."
(Lunans) The admiral looked at Hawke, and bluntly said "Alexander is still a willing citizen, so yes I can control him. If he would have been unwilling he would have shot me." he gestured to the pistol Alex started wearing when Luna was hit. He frowned at what Hawke said about his little girl and asked "Was? You make it sound as if she is de-" he cut himself off and looked devastated and said "Ah." realising that he would be able to find her eyepeace on wireless networks if she was back in the fleet. He then turned away from Hawke and asked "Did she at least die well? Did she save people with her death?" he sounded heartbroken, and unclipped the pistol from his belt, the thought of going on while his little girl was already gone wasn't appealing to him.
Alex smiled and hugged Elisa back, and said "I'm ok." as if just to reassure her. He watched the Admiral, he noticed it looked like he was preparing to shoot himself, but just let him proceed with it, the man had lost his home, his daughter, he couldn't ask someone to go on after that.
(Yami) Yami looked at Hawke and bit her lip then said "Aren't our objectives the same anyway?" she then sighed and said "The Admiral." then looked angry, and said "You know why? Because the Hegemony took care of me for months while you sat here on your ship, aware of my presence but unwilling to save me. They are more like my home then anyone." it actually seemed she was loyal to the wrong faction, but for the right reason. She then frowned and said "I'm sorry for yelling Hawke, I just get mad sometimes, I feel like the galaxy could end at any moment, it is scary."
She smiled at Catelyn and said "Thank you, I only followed orders." she sounded like she was quite used to following orders, even if she was ordered to kill the girl she would probably oblige. She smiled at her and said "Needle is pretty awesome, I mean for a non Hegemony weapon anyway." she seemed to be teasing then activated one of her plasma blades and said "Suriso state arms. 'Suriso State Arms, defending the Hegemony." she repeated their moto, the Hegemony was good at making weapons, you did have to give them that. She smiled when she talked about her other sword and said "I never got a fencing sword, I was told if I wasn't quick enough I deserved to be cut open by a real sword." she then deactivated her plasma sword and tossed it to her "Try out a real weapon." again in a teasing way.
(Vika) The Vika nodded to what he said and said "I know that."then proceeded to meow a hello in the cat person language and said "I meant like vocal cords, Vika use a duel system, I take it you do too, one for our language, the other for communication with other species. The Humans and Cats use the same vocal cord system." she raised an eyebrow, or more the Vika equivalent with raising one of the feelers on her head and said "That is one big if, the machines threaten every one of our hives with the exception of hive 7, our hive. We don't believe that there will be enough Vika left to need our own world." she seemed sad by this, for clear reasons.
The Vika Prince crossed his arms and his eye twitched at what Vittorio said "We shall get them, if we have to take bug fighters damn it. Wouldn't it be better to die trying to save your mate then let her die alone." he seemed kinda pissed and said "No way there are going to be a bunch of people getting off Suriso, it is locked down pretty tight, there is no way anyone can get transports on or off of that world. Believe me we lost a lot on transports." the Hegemony seemed to have got hit pretty damn hard, probably because of their super weapon schematics.

"We can rebuild," Hawke said."Odds are that no one is going to want very many of these planets once the Reapers are done with them, but that doesn't mean we should just give them up. It'll take time, of course, but we can rebuild, replant, we just need the Reapers out of the way, so that's what we focus on now." He looked at the Venusian Admiral in a way that was kind of blank, like he was trying to figure out how she just pulled those statistics out of nowhere. He looked at the Neptunian and sighed. “I don't know if they made the right or wrong choice there. We could use the dreadnaughts, sure, but we could also use the Galactic Police officers. And it's good that the civilians got out.” He smiled slightly at Yami then nodded to the robot. “Yeah, we'll go soon.”
“Does one still count as a citizen of a place if they don't live there anymore?” Hawke asked, more wondering aloud then anything. Hawke frowned when the Admiral started wondering why he said 'was'. Clearly he didn't know. “I'm sorry,” He said quietly,”I wish there was something I could have done.” He sighed. “She died when a stray Reaper shot hit the ship she was on,” He moved over to the Admiral and put a hand on his gun to stop him from doing much of anything with it. “We need everyone we can get in this war, Admiral. I'm sorry for your loss, but I don't think your daughter would want you to go out by killing yourself. I think she would want you to go down fighting, if at all.”
He looked over at Yami and frowned. Then anger flashed in his eyes when she said that he had been unwilling to save her. “I was not unwilling to save you,” He said,”Do you think I could just have charged onto the Errant Venture and rescued you? Huh? Besides, I'm pretty sure TORTURE doesn't count as care,” He sounded probably more annoyed then Hawke normally would have been about something like that, but he was under a lot of stress. He kind of seemed to ignore what else she said.
After all that, he started getting ready to go to Suriso and get Alan.
(Garlek) “We have one set of vocal cords that we can use to talk to everyone in any language, we just need to learn the language,” Garlek said to the Vika. “I think the cat-poeple and humans use slightly different vocal cords, but I don't know. I mean, humans can not make perfect meows, at least, not most of the time. The Cat-people can speak Galactic Common, or whatever you call it, fine, though, so I do not know.” His tail twitched in a kind of quick, snaking motion, “I hope that we can save enough of your people.”

Catelyn just gave her a smile, even if it was only a brief smile. She sort of just shrugged at the next thing she said. "My parents could only get me so nice of a sword. But I don't mind it. I feel like Needle is now sort of part of me, and I'm not sure I could get myself to replace it for any other sword, better or worse. Sure, a different sword would be good, but I just feel this attachment to Needle" She explained to Yami, hoping she wasn't boring her. Just because everyone was kind of on edge these days, she clutched the handle of Needle tighter when Yami activated her sword, but quickly relaxed when she did nothing. Again, she smiled at Yami, but didn't say anything. At what she said next, she visibly twitched. "That's terrible" Was about all she could think of to say, while frowning. "Like I said though, my fencing sword is probably useless here" She said. When Yami tossed her the sword, she quickly reacted and caught it with surprising ease. It took her a bit to figure out how to activate it however. Not terribly long though. Once she had activated it, she smiled and put it out in front of her, standing in the appropriate position. She swung it a couple of times in a direction nobody was at, doing it gracefully instead of just slashing back and forth like an oblivious madman. After a bit, she deactivated it again and handed it back to Yami. "Cool sword" She commented, smiling at her faintly.
{Vittorio} Vittorio frowned and looked at the ground. "I have to fight for the good of many over the good of one" He said with a sigh. It's not that he was sighing at the fact he had to do that, it was just the fact he had to practically just leave Jodelle to fend for herself, and there was nothing he could do. Or, he could, but he'd rather avoid getting his ass kicked by Hawke. That was obviously not his only reason for not doing that, however. He just frowned at the last things he said, and shook his head, not sure what to say or what to do at the moment. Though, he quickly noticed Hawke leaving for a mission or something, and he followed Hawke to get ready.
"Hawke" He said when he caught up with him. "Do you want me to come with you? Or is this a mission you need to do alone?" He asked Hawke curiously. Of course he wanted to help, and he hoped for the possibility of maybe saving Jodelle while they talked to Hawke. Though, he wasn't entirely sure the likelihood of that. But he could just hope for the best.
{Adair} Adair had pretty much just wandered off to relax for a bit. All this crap was started to drain on her, and she needed to get away from everyone to get some fresh air for a little while. 'Fresh air' being less crowded ship air. In some random hallway, she just leaned against the wall with a sigh, and tried to just relax for a little while, before something else was bound to happen.

The Neptunian Admiral nodded and said "We might as well start with Earth though, the homeworld of humanity, maybe we could find a new era of peace together. The commonwealth wants the homeworld anyway, so I think that the GPF should consider focusing on Earth." he kind of just nodded and said "Of course, we might not even win if we focus on what we are going to do after." the Venusian did a half, kind of mocking bow and said "High ranking Venusians are called living computers for a reason." the Neptunian Admiral looked shocked at Hawke's reaction and said "We lost around 200 dreadnoughts, each had a crew of 20,000, so don't tell me it wasn't a bad choice, we may have helped a lot of people, but we still lost far too many ships. No one knows quite what happened, but it was a bloodbath for our forces." the robot simply nodded and said "Very well Hawke-Captain."
(Lunan) The Admiral shrugged and said "But he still considers himself a citizen of Luna, just because he wanted to help the galaxy does not strip him of his Lunan citizenship." he slowly nodded to what Hawke said about his daughter's death and said "She was saving people, good death, good strong Lunan death. She showed no cowardice in the end, I hope she finds peace." his eyes filled with tears as he filled in the gaps with the 'perfect' death. He shook his head at Hawke blocking access to his holster and said "No, my wife first, killed in the counter attack on Biodome 338, now my little girl, killed by these things." he shook his head and suddenly his voice became steeled and ready "No, these things what human eh? Well I'm going to surrender to them, and then when I'm on their ship I will detonate a nuclear warhead that I will smuggle in. My death will ensure many others won't feel my pain right now. And more importantly it will show that the Reapers will not allow us to go quietly."
(Yami) Yami watched Hawke and her ears went flat on her head as she said "When I first came to this mothership I was a crying mess, I had just lost my parents and my home, and you said you wouldn't let anything bad ever happen to me. I was trapped on a ship, I screamed for your help as they cut me open. You didn't keep me safe Hawke, you lied." in her quite clearly stresses and emotional state she was starting to mix her and Adair's memory together, not caring at this point. She shook her head at him and said "Torture that you did nothing to stop." if anything this showed that she was more scared right now then she would ever admit, and that unlike Adair who would admit it she was trained to hold it in and complete the mission.
She kind of smiled at Catelyn, but it was very brief, and looked exactly how Adair looked most of the time, so it wasn't really that memorable. She nodded in understanding and said "I get it, not all of us can be trained killers for the Hegemony with access to the best equipment in the galaxy, but geez it is a little small for the best they could afford." she shrugged and said "Yeah it was, I'm a good swordkid now though." she said swordkid in a joking way. She nodded and said "I will ask Alan to have one of my type of swords made for you in case of combat." she smiled and nodded in a kind of dark way watching her 'play' with the sword and said "Careful, the blade is totally weightless, it is a little offsetting at first." she nodded and put the sword back on her hip.
(Vika) The Vika Princess shook her head and said "Both of our people are being killed off, maybe this isn't the best time for a talk on xenolinguistics." she frowned at the last thing he said and said "Hopefully."
The prince leaned and hissed at Vittorio with all four of his wings fully extended around him, making him quite menacing and said "You feel no true love for your mate, your cowardice is despicable. I hope you and your mate die in the most painful way possible." he then turned and walked away, though it took a minute for his wings to go back to normal, showing how much Vittorio had pissed him off.
A young Vika prince, looking around Adair's age ran up to Hawke as he was going up toward his ship and asked "Queen Hawke, might we humbly ask to tag along, our mate is on the homeworld, we would like to see her." he bowed and quickly added "We can help you find the Hiveship that the God Emperor is on."

"Yeah, though I get the feeling that not everyone is going to focus on rebuilding Earth," Hawke said in a kind of half-joking way. He then shrugged,"I'm sure we'll help Earth first, but we'll see what happens. We may end up just helping whatever place needs the most help, which would probably be Earth, anyway," He said with a sigh. He kind of just looked at the Venusian blankly, but this time blankly in a way like he wasn't impressed with her ego. He then turned to the Admiral,"Just because you think it's a bad choice doesn't mean everyone's going to agree with you," He kind of snapped, clearly not in the mood for this kind of debate.
Hawke didn't feel like continuing with the first part of the conversation with the Lunan Admiral, so he just ignored it. To the rest he nodded, even though the Admiral was filling in his daughters death, it was pretty much true, as far as he remembered. Not that he would have said otherwise, anyway. He sighed,"Do you think they would want you to just give up?" He asked, then raised an eyebrow at the next thing the Admiral said,"And you actually expect to be able to smuggle a nuclear warhead into one?" He didn't feel like mentioning that that wasn't a very good way to ensure that no one else felt his pain, seeing as a nuclear warhead would kill a bunch of innocents, too.
He shook his head at Yami, "I made a mystake, and I broke my promise, and I'm sorry for that, but contrary to what everyone seems to think, I can't do EVERYTHING," He sounded more frustrated and stressed then annoyed. He sighed,"That I did nothing to stop? As if you know," He shook his head again and continued getting ready to go.
When the Vika came over to him, he almost snorted at being called 'queen' Hawke, but managed not to. He didn't mind at all, but he found it kind of funny. He nodded,"Alright," He then looked at Garlek and the other Alien,"Are you two willing to come with us?"
{Aliens} "We would be honored to accompany you, Hawke," Garlek said, and the other Alien hissed it's agreement. Garlek looked back at the Vika princess. "You are correct. Perhaps when we have more time, and the worlds are not in danger, we can talk some more." With that, he walked over to the alien ship with the other Alien and hopped in as Hawke gave the order that it was time to go.
Assuming that everyone else was ready, they headed to Suriso.

"Hey, it may be an extremely thin longsword, but it is very lightweight and effective. Maybe not as light as your sword, but it is useful for what it was made for. It won't chop a mans head off, but it will poke a man full of holes. Which can still be effective, they will just die slower and bleed out instead. Which if you are pissed off enough, might make you happier to see them slowly dieing" Catelyn said, though she'd rather if they died quicker then slowly bleeding out. The chances of that weren't exactly 100%, though. She laughed when Yami said swordkid, but it did seem to have less heart to it then a normal laugh should have, likely due to all the stress making it hard to truly laugh at something. "Oh, you don't need to trouble yourself with that. I will be fine with my sword" She said with a smile. It seemed like she was just being polite though. "Yeah, it was" She agreed about the weight being a little off putting. She expected it to be much heavier, so it did catch her off guard. Not too bad, though, since Needle wasn't hugely heavy. Likely due to it being so damn skinny, even if it was long.
{Adair} Adair listened to the various discussions about a lot of stuff that made no sense to her at her age. It mostly didn't interest her, since she felt so unimportant and unneeded in a discussion like this, but she listened anyway, at least trying to pretend to understand what they were discussing. With all these 'powerful' people around her, she felt even younger then she was and less mature, like her age had somehow dropped 2 or 3 years, and she was an even more innocent little girl then she already was. Some of the things discussed made her sad, but she tried to keep strong. She needed to keep strong to make it through this war with the Reaper's, to keep the spirits of the crew up, and to avoid just losing it in a state of depression. It was so hard for her to stay strong during this, and she knew that when it came to be time to go to sleep, she would likely lose it and all her emotions that she kept inside her throughout the day would burst out of her, making it difficult for her to get proper sleep. Then she'd wake up next morning, and be all grumpy or down because of a lack of sleep. She knew it'd probably be a rough few weeks.
{Vittorio} Vittorio stepped back when he was hissed at, and just stared at the Vika like he was insane. "That is not true! I love her! I'm doing the right thing, for the good of the majority over one person! You don't know how much it pains me to leave her like this, to leave her alone. I want to help her! I really do!" He shouted back to the Vika as he walked off, practically losing it into anger and tears. He seemed to be just emotionally unstable at the moment, at least when people started to insult his love for Jodelle and things like that. "Jerk" He muttered to himself, mostly at the last part of what the Vika said.
After all of that stuff, he heard and saw that everyone was starting to leave, and started to get ready and headed out with Hawke. He was mostly ready already, so it didn't really take him much time to get ready.

"I know the Lunans won't want to rebuild Earth that much, they can't even live in the gravity after all. Even getting Venusians to do labour is like pulling teeth, let alone rebuilding a planet. So long as you don't scrap their ships for it the Neptuanians should be fine with it, and you can count on Hegemony support right now." The Admiral took a breath after his 'speech' and smirked slightly. He shook his head at Hawke and said "I don't care if you want your armies back, if you had done the math you would realise we lost 40 million men that day, have a little sympathy. Not just the men, but the pride of our navy. All for what, a dozen capital ships, a few dozen destroyers?" though it didn't sound impressive, that was the single largest blow done to the Reaper forces.
The Lunan Admiral shook his head and said "I can't Hawke, I just can't live while my wife and only child have died. I wouldn't wish this feeling on my worst enemy." he shook his head and said "I have to do something, I will talk to the Venusians, see if they can hook it up inside my body so it will be undetected." he had realised it might kill innocents, but figured if anyone was that close to a Reaper, it would be only a matter of time. He shook his head and said "Why Amanda, I could have gotten you safe transport on the navy. Why did you sneak off?" he seemed to be talking to himself while crying.
(Yami) Yami shook her head "I didn't want you to do everything, I just wanted you to save me." she then let tears flow from her face, this war was oddly bringing more out the Adair in her than the Yami. She frowned more at him and said "You didn't stop it, it continued." she then muttered "I think I understand why Yukiro does what she does now."
Yami seemed impressed with the sword until she talked about a man bleeding out, and said "You have never seen a man beg for his life while he bleeds out, if so you would want a better sword, it is never pretty to hear someone cry and beg like that." she looked at the deck, she had head it many times, not with her sword, but shrapnel from explosions she caused. She sighed and said "Ok then, you know husks don't bleed out right?"
(Vika) The Prince near Vittorio shook his head and said "Do not lie to me human, if you loved your mate like I loved mine you wouldn't give a shit about the majority, all that would matter was her safety. I ordered a Vika legion of 300 workers to attack Reaper forces to delay their arrival in my mates hive. So tell me Vittorio, how in the hell do you lie about loving her if you won't even send yourself?" he then took a moment and pointed at Adair "I would even send Yami if I could, but I don't have the authority to order her to do anything." he didn't seem to notice that he had actually pointed at Adair, not Yami.
The Princess nodded and said "Indeed, we will talk then." then walked off. After a bit of looking around she found Adair and said "Shouldn't you be in uniform Yami?" even up close Vika mistook Adair for Yami. Because of how they recognised a person was mostly by sent, and they smelled the same pretty much. She shook her head and said "Get on the transport, I'm taking you away from these GPF 'allies' before they decide we are better thrown out the airlock." then kind of grabbed her hand and pulled her along toward the Hegemony transport. Thankfully for the Vika, this was after Hawke already left.
Orbit of Reaper occupied Suriso As Hawke's ship jumped into Suriso orbit the first thing to note was the massive debris field of twisted metal and ceramics, some chunks still holding their Hegemony flags, and one clearly saying Errant Venture on it. The young Vika looked through the windows at the destroyed ships with shock and terror, looking very frightened. He pointed to a chunk of hiveship and cried out "My Hiveship!" in a hearbroken tone, then curled up on Vittorio's lap, slowly crying himself and he told him "I want my mommy." scared that she was dead, and scared his mate might be dead as well. He just slowly cried into Vittorio's chest, hugging him tightly. It wasn't that the young Prince particularly liked Vittorio, but mostly Vittorio was there and would hopefully comfort him. A Reaper Destroyer engaged several transports that ran from the planet, destroying most of them, but a handful made it to the area that they could jump to FTL.
As the ship descended toward Suriso's Hegemony capital it was almost hit by a rocket, simply a missfire from a Vika defender, not a defensive rocket from the ship. On the surface huge swarms of husks ran at the ship, trying to overwhelm the defenders with sheer numbers. Though there were cat person version of husks that carried assault rifles, most husks were just normal human husks. Vika held trenches and held their own mostly, other than the occasional few that managed to make it through. Alongside the main Vika stood humans, cat people, and some robots, all working together to defend the Hegemony leadership. The Reapers themselves sent husks because it ment that thru Hegemony wouldn't be able to redeploy its units to defend other areas. The Vika princess sill looked horrified by the fighting, but picked up the comm and changed it too a different channel then it was set to. He then made a series of clicks into the comms and hanger doors opened a small gap to allow Hawke's ship in. Though there was only a small space to land between transports, but it was luckily just big enough for Hawke's ship.
In the Hanger there was panicked quick activity, Lunans carried a large crate and being yelled at by a Venusian "Careful, you idiots, that QEC is the last know communication device that links to Earth. Just get it on the transport." troops of the Hegemony seemed to be moving large amounts of personal level plasma weapons, to assist the war effort. Hoses also pumped starship fuel aboard, given that the Hegemony didn't need it much after all. The doors sealed and some explosion rocked the ship, causing part of the roof to collapse and hurl metal toward a group of some young children, far out of Hawke's reach. Though the metal stopped midair, as a teenage girl in some schoolgirl outfit holding her hands out and using her power to save the children. A few GPF officers that wore Hegemony armour, but had their GPF uniforms clearly showing under the armour ran over and got the children out of the way. Yukiro then let the metal fall with a loud clack and put her hands on her knees panting, quite out of breath. She then looked at Hawke, and said "I imagine you are here to see our leader." she made no motion to stand up again, but waved over 7/S-160, formally known as Jodelle and said "I'm sorry Vittorio, but we are going to stay here, Hawke will see the Leader." a GPF LT with heavy Hegemony armour on over his GPF uniform walked up and said "Commander, if you want I will lead you to Alan." he had a Hegemony flag on his arm just under his GPF shoulder symbol. The Hegemony people didn't even seem to notice the Aliens, mostly because they were so sick of fighting they didn't give a shit who brought reenforcements, just that they got people who could fight in their place.

Hawke frowned at Yami, "I know, but I couldn't. I tried, but I couldn't," The frustration was getting clearer in his voice. He felt bad for Yami, but he was annoyed that she blamed him for not trying, for not being able to save her when he had done everything he could, while working overtime with a war against pretty much both the Hegemony and the Space Pirates, as well as helping some of his crew with personal matters, like trying to save Jodelle, too. In his opinion, she was being even more childish then Adair, but it kind of made sense at the same time, since she was technically younger. "I couldn't stop it," He snapped,"It doesn't mean I didn't try."
(Electra) When the Vika princess grabbed Adair, there was a loud pissed cat sound from the other side of the room. Electra prowled out of the corner towards the Vika princess. She had grown a lot, and was between 2 to 2 1/2 feet tall. In other words, she was freakin' big for a cat. She hissed at the Vika Princess and stood in front of her.
(On Suriso) Hawke muttered under his breath when he saw all the debris. He shook his head, wondering how they were going to fight the Reapers when they could easily do this much damage to their ships, while they could do almost none to the Reapers. He knew that they HAD to get the plans for that weapon that the robot was talking about. Otherwise, he doubted they could win. He'd keep that fact to himself, obviously. He sighed and continued heading towards Suriso, dodging debris as he did.
As they came down the the planet, Hawke fired on a large group of husks that were far enough away from people that he wouldn't hurt anyone by doing it. He wished his ship had a more precise weapon, but it didn't, so he refrained from firing anywhere near people. When the ship opened up with just enough room for him to land in, he muttered to himself some more. He would have preferred to not be the only ship there, but he didn't have a choice. It was lucky for him that he had some people on his ship. Like Elisa, since she had decided that her ship would probably be a death sentence here.
He moved his ship to land in the hanger, and twitched slightly as two big CLANKs sounded on his roof, though he knew what it was. The Aliens had been flying above Hawke's ship and had both jumped out of their ship onto the top of his, so that they could come inside as well. Their ship took off to go shoot at Husks on it's own once they were gone. Hawke landed in the hanger and hopped out, while the Aliens hopped off the roof. Hawke watched the Lunans, then twitched when the explosion rocked the ship and make the roof collapse almost on the kids. He didn't really have much time to respond before it was stopped. He sighed with relief and narrowed his eyes at the Galactic Police Officers with Hegemony armor. It wasn't as if they didn't have their own. He nodded to Yukiro,"Yes, I am." His eyes widened when he saw Jodelle. "Jodelle," He said, kind of quietly though, since he knew she probably wouldn't know who he was, or that he was even talking to her. Hawke looked at the Galactic Police Force lieutenant, "Alright. What's with the Hegemony badge?" He asked with some suspicion, as if he thought that the Lieutenant was betraying him.
The Aliens looked around, clicking to themselves. The younger one then looked at the Lieutenant,"What can we do to...assist?" He asked.

Catelyn sighed and looked at the ground, then shuffled her feet. "I haven't seen anyone die, or heard anyone die. I've yet to kill a man, or a Husk, or whatever" She said, seeming slightly bothered by the idea of doing that. "Then I will just stab them repeatedly until they die" She commented with an awful lot of confidence. Even though she said that, it still seemed like she wasn't entirely sold on the idea of stabbing anything, alien or not.
{Adair} Adair stared at the Vika Princess like she was crazy. To her, it seemed awful obvious that she was different, so she just thought it was weird. To her she just thought that Yami had a tail and ears, so that was pretty clear. "I'm not Yami" She said forcefully, and tried to yank herself free from the grasp of the Vika Princess. When her cat came to the 'rescue', she smiled at Electra. "See? Yami doesn't have a cat. Now let me go" She demanded.
{Vittorio} Vittorio had heard what the Vika said, but since the Vika was leaving and Vittorio was getting ready to leave too, he chose not to respond to what he said in response to him. He was done arguing about it, and feeling emotionally unstable. He wanted to avoid getting angrier then he already felt, so he just decided to drop the conversation and leave.
As they started to go to Suriso, Vittorio sat in Hawke's ship with a big frown on his face. He was thinking about Jodelle, and it was just making him emotionally unstable. Though, if it came to it, he could definitely fight strongly. Especially to protect Jodelle. He was just having a bad moment right now. Which was understandable, not knowing if Jodelle was alive.
When Vittoro looked outside and saw the destroyed ships, he let out a gasp himself and his jaw dropped in shock. It actually worried him too, because he had no idea if Jodelle was on any of those Hive Ships or not, since he really had no idea where she was located now. When the Vika started to cry and curl up on his lap, he put his arm around him in a comforting way. "It will be okay" He said more confidently then he felt. Just seeing the Vika sad started to make him cry softly, and he just leaned back against the side of the ship, just letting his emotions free.
He let out a gasp when Hawke's ship was almost hit with a missfired rocket. They really did not need to die by some stupid rocket right now. They were really needed right now, especially Hawke. He felt so bad for everything Hawke has to deal with right now. Seeing all the mayhem going on on the surface, he just wished he could somehow be out there to help, instead of in this ship. But there was nothing he could do, and he just frowned and let out a sigh. He just just watched outside the window as they descended into the hangar, checking things out.
Vittorio let out a gasp when he heard the clanks on the roof, and he didn't know what it was so he was a bit alarmed. Since Hawke didn't seem to care, he eventually relaxed and just kept his cool. He hopped out after Hawke, and noted that the thuds on the roof were the aliens, or whatever you wanted to call them. He instinctively ducked at the sound of the explosion, even if it wasn't anywhere near him to affect him. Like Hawke, he was relieved when it was stopped by what he assumed was some telekinetic. Though, he quickly lost his focus on anything around him except Jodelle, when Yukiro called her over. "Jodelle! You are alive! Thank goodness!" He shouted with excitement, all his sadness and fears suddenly vanishing in thin air. He started to approach her to give her a big hug, despite the obvious changes of her. It was pretty clear that she was different, just by the spikes.
7/S-160 instantly responded to the strangers reaction to her, as if he knew her. He referred to her as 'Jodelle", whoever the heck that was. In response to his attempt to hug her, she backed up a few steps and pointed her plasma rifle at his chest. "Stay back, stranger" She threatened. "Or we will shoot you for harassment" She added, glaring at Vittorio and acting as if she had no freaking clue who he was. Which she didn't at the moment, so yeah.
Vittorio was completely cut off guard and by surprise at Jodelle's hostility towards him. He quickly stopped himself when she pointed a gun at him, because he'd rather not be shot in the chest. "But Jodelle...." He muttered, his excitement quickly wearing off and going back to sadness. "Jodelle...please....tell me you remember me....please" He begged, his eyes stinging with tears.
"We said back off stranger. We do not know who you are, and you are acting irresponsible and I would like you to stop" 7/S-160 said. Clearly she was not herself anymore. That was fairly obvious. She didn't even seem to be affected by the fact that every word she said was hurting his feelings, because she just thought he was some freak that was over reacting, or something. Though, she did have a slight curiosity if he was this "Vittorio" that she had a little bit of thoughts about, but that didn't mean she trusted her thoughts about random people she really didn't know.
Vittorio looked at Jodelle with disbelief, his tears starting to spill out of his eyes now. "But...." He muttered, and then just let out a sigh and turned the other way, starting to walk off to be 'alone'. He leaned against something and just let out another sigh, and slid down to the floor and started to cry. Finally he had Jodelle back, in a way, and she had no clue who he was and even was being entirely hostile towards him. It was just such an emotional shuck to him that he couldn't take it, and had to let out the emotions.

The Vika princess backed away from the cat and two of her guards pointed plasma rifles at it. If it wasn't stupid it wouldn't attack the princess, lest it be turned into goo by the guards and their plasma weapons. The Princess hit Adair across the face and said "Don't you dare lie to ne Yami. I thought you learned not to do that." she then put one arm around her neck and the other around her waist and suddenly took off and muttered "Loose some weight Yami." but quickly landed on her ship and entered through a hatch on the roof. Once her and Adair were aboard the ship the ship took off, leaving the more trusting Vika to their fate. Once onboard the princess grabbed Adair's arm and pressed the barrel of her plasma pistol to it, allowing it to burn her arm with millions of degrees of heat while she said "What the hell were you thinking, what if one of the GPF had thought you were Adair? They could have shot me you selfish brat." she then removed the pistol and looked at the burn, then pressed her hand against it hard.
At Jodelle and Vittorio's conversation a Vika soldier stood there and watched, the same that was Jodelle's teacher, however she now had a big scar across her face where a husk grabbed her. She walked up to Jodelle and yelled "You compromise the future of hive and species by threatening a friend of Queen Hawke?!" the Queen thing is because they saw the leader of anything as a Queen, with the exception of their God Emperor. She then glared at Jodelle and said "Half rations, two weeks, maybe you will think about how you treat friends of any Queen in the future." she then shoved the spike on her arm through Jodelle's ear lobe, but not to rip it, just to make a small hole, and a lot of pain. She then pointed at Vittorio and said "You will now kiss him and offer to mate with him as reparations for your brash actions." she looked annoyed, as much as any hive minded insect person could anyway.
Yukiro walked over to Vittorio and slid down the wall next to him and put her arms around him. She abruptly started crying as well, she then looked at him while crying and said "I know how you f-feel, she is such a great girl. Her love must have been sweet to have." she then curled up against him and added "I tried to make her love me, but she only loved you, until the end, when they turned her into that have human soldier monstrosity." she cried more, she had never been able to apologise to her truly for forcing her to have sex. She then kissed Vittorio, because he was there, then said "I'm sorry, I just, it is how I deal with sadness. Ever sense my parents sent me to the torture chambers of the Hegemony 11 years ago, I have become such a bad person. I didn't deserve her, I didn't deserve her." she cried more into Vittorio, and clearly ment Jodelle when she said 'her'.
The GPF LT looked at Hawke and said "I personally joined the Hegemony." he then said "Sir, I'm not sure if you can understand this, but the Hegemony, it isn't as bad as we thought, it is swollen with volunteers from all over the planet. When the Reapers hit, I was in a camp, I saw the camp with my family in it overrun by husks, my husband, and infant daughter were taken, or so I thought. The next day, a Vika unit passed through our camp, a little ten year old princess was cradling my baby girl, and my husband was with them, serving as a medic." he looked teary and said "After that, I joined without second thought, I know you don't have family sir, but when someone saves your daughter, and your spouse, I couldn't not help them. To stand my while the person who saved my little girl died, would be unjust." he used his hand to dry his eyes, he had been involuntarily crying at what the Hegemony had done for him, tears of joy. He then said "I wear their flag with pride." when the Aliens asked what they could do he said "Just come with me." after that he walked over to a Neptunian woman with a sleeping baby in her arms and asked "Captain Ming, you will take care of her right?" the woman nodded and said "As if she was my own." he then smiled and gave the infant a kiss on the forehead, then the woman boarded the waiting transport. He then gestured for Hawke and the Aliens to follow him and lead them to Alan.
Alan stood at a holoprojector, talking with a tall pale skinned alien, the likes of which the galaxy had never seen. This alien wore elaborate headwear, and very flashy robes. Alan seemed to be trying to persuade him of something "Viceroy, please inform the TEC that without additional funds I can not continue this war, and without our forces in Beta Quadrant, your Alpha Quadrant will be hit next." the alien spoke at a regular pace and said "We understand this, however we also understand the fleet you offered as collateral is now a ring of twisted and broken metal." Alan slammed his fist, causing the alien to jump, showing his species cowardice. Alan preceded to get angry and asked "Tell me Viceroy, how many dreadnoughts does the TEC currently command?" the Viceroy thought and responded "57, if you count the whole TEC." Alan smirked and said "57, very good Viceroy, let me tell you about a little planet called Neptune, it sent 200 dreadnoughts against the Reapers, none came back." the Viceroy looked terrified, especially when Alan sent fleet data to confirm and said "We are hereby granting you emergency funding, we trust this super weapon is worth, lets say, 12 trillion." Alan smirked and said "Well that sounds fine, if you want it only half built." the Viceroy pressed buttons and said "12, I ment 30 trillion. We will fund this project with everything we have." Alan bowed and said "That would be very good, Viceroy, however, I need your fleets to protect my weapon. Tell the TEC leadership to send me everything they can spare, they will hit your worlds eventually, we need to be able to liberate those worlds." the Viceroy nodded and said "We will send you what we can, I hope it will be enough. We will send for coordinates when I get the fleets assembled to join you." Alan bowed and deactivated the feed. He turned and practically ran into Hawke and gasped "Commander!" and two robots raised their rifles and pointed them at the Hawke and the Aliens. Alan looked at the aliens with a weird look and turned back to his console and said "Strange, no records about your species in the TEC databanks, I don't take it you are Reaper allied, or you would have killed me by now. So just who are you, and what are you doing here?" he then glared at Hawke and asked "And, what the hell do you want Hawke?"

Adair looked from the Vika guards to her cat, looking fearful for the safety of Electra. "Electra, go. Don't endanger yourself for me. I will be fine" She ordered to Electra, and made a shooing motion to Electra with a frown. "Ow!" She shouted when she was hit across the face by the Vika, but mostly she didn't seem to respond all that much. "I'm not lying! Open your eyes! I'm obviously not Yami! I have no tail, or no ears. Can't you see that?" She asked, looking actually a little frightened now. When the Vika put her arm around he waist and her neck, she seemed a little frightened for a second before realizing that she was just being flown....though that didn't seem like a good thing either. "If I lose too much more weight I'd be underweight" She said, and added with a shout, "And stop calling me Yami!". Once they were in and the ship started to took off, she was starting to get even more worried. She officially felt like some prisoner, and she didn't like it. "Let go of me!" She shouted at the Vika, right before she was burned with the barrel of a plasma pistol. She practically let out a scream from the pain she felt. She had never felt such a terrible burning sensation from anything in her life, and it really was a terrible feeling. Her eyes were watering now from the excruciating burning feeling going through her body from the gun, and she shouted "I am Adair! Are you blind and deaf or what?". When the Vika princess pressed her hand against the burn hard, she let out out a groan of pain and clenched her teeth together, but didn't say anything.
7/S-160 suddenly looked ashamed of herself when she started to get yelled at, and looked at the crowd. "He acted as if he knew me, and was going to touch me by giving me a hug" She commented quietly, still seeming ashamed. At hearing her punishments, she nodded repeatedly and said, "I'm sorry for my actions, but I will accept any punishment that you see fit". In response to her spike being shoved into her ear lope, she let out a gasp of pain and closed her eyes, but reacted a lot less then say, Jodelle would respond. "As you command" She said, bowing repeatedly, before starting to head over to Vittorio.
Vittorio kinda looked at Yukiro weirdly, because he didn't really know who she was and she just came up to him and put her arm around him. But strangely enough, he made no indication that he was going to move away from her. Maybe it was seeing her saving those kids, maybe not. Maybe it was just the fact he didn't feel like he was probably capable of doing much of anything right now. "I still have her love!" He shouted, then took a deep breath to calm himself. He started to cry more after shouting, for whatever reason. He didn't even react when she curled up against him. He shot her a quick glare when she mentioned trying to make her love her, but quickly just went back to looking grim. The kiss caught him off guard, but strangely enough again, he didn't seem to mind it, and if anything, a slight smile came on his face. "It's fine" He replied quietly. He looked piss, but it seemed to be at her parents, not her. "Why would someones parents be so cruel? That is just disgusting" He said, making a face at how cruel people could be. All he could think to do was put an arm around her, so that was exactly what he did.
Shortly later, Jodelle, or now more commonly known as 7/S-160, came up to them and stood there, watching them. She let out a sigh. She still felt guilty for what she had done, and was here to do what the Vika commanded her to do. The fact she came over here confused Vittorio, though he did hear a little of the argument. He took his arm from being around Yukiro, and slowly stood up to face Jodelle.
"Jodelle? Why have you come back? I thought you wanted me to leave, so why come back to me?" Vittorio asked, sadness still showing on his face. 7/S-160 just looked at him then kissed him, since she was told to do so. That caught Vittorio entirely off guard, but he didn't pull away. If anything, he started to kiss her back more, but she quickly pulled away because all she needed to do was kiss him, not continue to kiss him just because he wanted her to. At least that's what she thought. He sounded slightly disappointed when she pulled away, but then just asked, "What was that about?". She let out a sigh and said, "Orders", then said, "If you want to mate, we can go ahead". He twitched and blinked at her like she was weird. "Okay...." He muttered, and she then said, "Want to now?", which he followed by saying quickly, "No, no, I didn't mean I wanted to", while shaking his head. "No, don't worry about it....Just..." He trailed off, and let out a sigh and sat back down.
Jodelle blinked, and just shrugged and went back to her teacher. "I did as commanded, and he declined the offer of mating" She said. "He seems troubled. Do you know what is wrong with him?" She asked, sounding actually a little concerned for this 'stranger'.

{Electra} Electra hissed at the Vika princess, and it was fairly clear that she would die to protect Adair. So it was probably a good thing when Adair told Electra to stand down. She gave one last 'Mrrrowww' to the Vika princess then ran off. Once Hawke got back, that Vika was probably in for a lot of trouble.
{Hawke} Hawke looked kind of annoyed, as if the LT had betrayed him. “I can understand wanting to help, but was joining them really necessary? I don't think you can be bother Galactic Police Force and Hegemony. We've got bigger problems now, obviously, but when this is over, I'm not just going to stand by if the Hegemony continues their old ways. I'll let it go now, obviously, but I have one question. If I give an order, and the Hegemony gives a conflicting order, who are you going to follow?” He followed the LT when he led them to Alan. The Aliens also followed, clicking and hissing quietly to each other.
Hawke looked the TEC alien up and down, though didn't seem surprised to see it. The other two Aliens didn't even seem to pay it any attention. It seemed as though they knew more about the other races then the other races knew about them. Hawke and the Aliens just listened quietly while Alan and the TEC alien talked about what they guessed was funding or workers for the weapon, or something along those lines. Hawke was actually surprised that Alan practically ran in to him. He just kind of picture Alan to be the type to know when someone was behind him. In response to what Alan said to the Aliens, the younger alien said,”We are a private, far-out race. Hardly any other races know about our existence, and until today, only one human knew of us,” His eyes flicked to look at Hawk then back at Alan in a glance that was almost to fast to see. He then looked at where the TEC alien had left to, then back to Alan and his tail twitched, ”Allying with the TEC is...ill-advised. They are a cowards,” He said. Hawke looked at Alan and glared back at him. “I came to get you out of here. I heard about the plans you have for the massive weapon, and I heard about plans to steal it. I won't let that happen, and I take it you know that wouldn't be a good thing, as well.”

The Vika princess glared at Adair and said "Not relevant, I can smell you Yami, Vika would not tricked by your tricks. I don't care if you cut off your ears and tail, you are still a Hegemony assassin." when they were flying the princess looked annoyed and said "Then be underweight, it is hard to fly you around." when they were on the ship the Vika glared at Adair and said "Stop lying to me Yami, I know you like to pretend you are Adair, but would you shut up about it now." she closed her eyes and grinned as she connected to the shared memories of the entire hive and said "I know now what you were like at first, when you were first made. You actually honestly thought you were Adair, are you thinking like that again?" she held onto her arm tightly on the burn still. The ship was hot and muggy how Vika liked it, and probably uncomfortable for Adair. The Princess finally let go of Adair's arm and waved over a soldier, the soldier grabbed Adair with their inhuman strength and used the spike on her arm to cut Adair's clothes off. A worker tossed Adair an assassin's suit, and the Princess said "Put it on Yami, I will get you the rest of your equipment when we get to Kauhu." she slapped the burn and added "Stop acting like a spoiled brat as well."
The Vika commander glared at 7/S-160 and said "Humans touch, it does not matter, you should have allowed him to hug you. I do not like being touched by humans, but if one that is the friend of one of their Queens asks for a hug they will receive one." she then added "You acted like a human 7/S-160." acting like a human was an insult in Vika culture, it ment one was undisciplined, and brash. She bowed slightly in response and nodded.
Yukiro cried into Vittorio's shoulder and said "It isn't Jodelle any more, she is gone, like others before her." she moved her finger as he cried and the tears were flicked off, seemingly of their own accord, she only used her telekinetic powers she was afraid that touching his face might make him cry more. When he sounded pissed she looked embarrassed and if you knew Yukiro, she never looked embarrassed. She sighed and said "I like to think they didn't know what they signed me up for, but I don't know, I was only five. All I remember is that one of the scientists grabbed my teddy bear and the other pulled my thumb out of my mouth, then put needles in both of my arms and filled me with something that felt like fire, till I was poofed up, then hit me until I used my ability." she put her head on Vittorio's chest feeling vulnerable and said "I never told anyone that." she felt his arm around her and smiled, closing her eyes, and then her breathing pattern indicated that she had passed out.
Yukiro softly whimpered to herself as if she was being hurt when she was asleep, having nightmares, or as she called them dreams, because she never had anything but nightmares. When Vittorio started to stand up, she sat up and noticed a small puddle of drool on his chest and said "Sorry." she then looked up and said "Jodelle-Kun." then her eyes started to water "You can't just tell them that you had orders, that is cruel!" she was going to say more but was interrupted by a Hegemony officer.
The Vika soldier looked at 7/S-160 and said "It was his choice to mate." with a shrug. She nodded and said "He lost his mate to the Hegemony, Venusians particularly, I don't know why he wanted to hug you. It must hurt him to be here at all, let alone refrain from killing every Venusian in sight."
The officer, a male Lunan looked at Yukiro and said "I thought all soldiers were to report, why aren't you on the frontline?" Yukiro looked tired and said "I am exhausted sir, standard telekinetics get 15 mins rest plus food and drink for every hour on the battlefield. I have been fighting for the last 7 hours strait, I need to recover." the Lunan kicked her in the gut, causing her to double over and said "I just saw you using your powers to wipe off his tears, if you can do that, you can fight." Yukiro would have explained that it took only a tiny amount of energy to wipe tears, and that it was like being crushed in a car compactor to throw a group of husks. He kicked her in the ribs and yelled "Cowards will be shot Yukiro." he then glanced at Vittorio and said "Unless your boyfriend over there agrees to don Hegemony armour and fight in your place I will kill you." Yukiro started crying when she didn't have the energy to make his pistol go flying.
The GPF LT sighed at Hawke and said "Needed fresh equipment, needed food for my people, the GPF supply lines went dark, we needed the Hegemony, and it needed us to fight the Reapers, they understand that this is not a permanent alliance between us, but frankly sir, I have to ask, is it wise to follow up war with more war?" he thought about the question less than a second and said "You of course sir, my loyalty lies with the GPF, it is just that the Hegemony is helping the people of this world, and that is what I signed up to do, help people." he then slowly added "Unless it was that Vika who saved my daughter, she saved my girl's life that means I owe her mine, I will follow her orders above others. You understand, I mean I bet even if someone saved Adair that you would feel to owe them a great debt."
Alan crossed his arms and glared at the Alien saying "Humans are inferior, why didn't you contact my Hegemony rather than the GPF, after all, it isn't as if Hawke knows the real face of the galaxy, he choses to see the galaxy how he does. I bet you think I am evil." he shook his head and said "Sorry, being killed always puts me in a crappy mood." he nodded and said "I know they are cowards, but they have a hell of a fleet, more tech than the Venusians, hell even if Yami's reports are accurate they have as much Tech as that mothership." he chuckled at Hawke and said "You are too late, my sister has already taken it to the new Homeworld of my species. As much as I hate what she did, I love her, well whatever the AI equivalent is of love anyway, and I will insure that she won't be enslaved by the Reapers." he sighed and pointed the way they came "I can help you get onboard the space station, I want minimum loss of mechanized bipetals, I won't stand for the killing of my people by you Hawke, we use EMPs." he then looked at the Aliens and Hawke "Organics, you always thought you are so much better than us, that you could exterminate us, but look at us now. Taking over the galaxy in synthetic AI starship. I have to saw Hawke, I won't cry for organic life if the Reapers win."

Adair let out a sigh and face palmed. Talk about bad luck. Now she was being confused with Yami, despite her ears and tail not existing. She was quickly becoming afraid, afraid of the fact she was now considered a Hegemony Assassin like Yami, even if she wasn't Yami. But she was becoming sick of arguing, because it seemed pointless and useless to get her out of this . "That's your problem" She said in a grumpy tone of voice, crossing her arms. She didn't care if the Vika thought she was too heavy, she wasn't going to be underweight. She felt like yelling "I'm not Adair!", but thought better of it and just let out a sigh. She let out another sigh, and shouted. "No! I'm not! Couldn't you check to make sure the other Adair wasn't Yami first?" She asked, still looking quite scared. Her eyes started to water from the pain, but over all she still seemed to take it relatively well for a girl her age. She wasn't crying, it was just making her eyes water. The ships mugginess felt like hell to her, since she had lived on Suriso, which was mostly a fairly cool planet. Though, when it did get muggy there, it felt really bad. When she was let go of, she practically squirmed away from the Vika Princess and glared at her when she let go. But quickly she was grabbed by another Vika, which she responded with by shouting "Hey!". She let out a gasp when her clothes were cut off, more because of the fact she was worried to be cut herself from the spike then the fact her clothes were just cut off. Figuring it was best to follow the orders she was given, despite how much she didn't want to be like Yami, she put the assassin suit on with some complications. "Aaahhh" She said in a pained voice, but that was about it. She couldn't think of anything to say at this point, and was just going to go along with it at least for now. It's not like she could run away and get out of it. "Fine. Whatever. Hawke will hear about this. And Hawke is very protective when it comes to me, and he's on edge and easily angered with everything going on, so you might want to be careful what you do" she said, crossing her arms again and wincing slightly at touching her burn.
7/S-160 looked at the ground in shame at what her teacher was saying to her. She knew she did something wrong, and felt terrible for it. At the Vika saying she did a human act, she felt even more terrible. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" She repeated, feeling too ashamed to even look at the Vika now.
"I-I know" Vittoria said with a sigh, choking up at just thinking about the fact she was gone. "But I won't give up on her yet. I won't. There must be some way for me to help her, I don't know" He said, letting out a frustrated sigh. He smiled a very faint sad smile when Yukiro flicked the tears away with her powers, but it didn't last long. He listened to her story in silence, looking shocked at what she said. "That is disgusting. Why would people do that? I hope for your sake that your parents weren't aware. If they were, I hate your parents already. That is so sad" He said with a sigh. He smiled when she said she never told anyone that, but at the same time seemed clearly surprised that she would tell him that when she just met him. When she fell asleep, he chuckled quietly and just let her sleep.
He was going to shake her awake when she started to dream, in case they were bad, but he was going to stand up anyway and figured she would probably wake up then. Which she did, even if he tried to quietly and carefully do it to not wake her up. "It's fine" He said with a faint smile, but quickly went back to looking sad. He vaguely wondered how telling them she had orders was cruel, but said nothing as the annoying Hegemony Officer came over.
Vittorio listened and watched everything that happened next with a look of disgust. He knew trying to stop it was pointless, so he didn't even try to stop it. It would likely just escalate the situation into something worse. Instead, he said something that might make it worse. "Stop being a dick" He said bluntly to the officer, looking clearly pissed at him. "I wish I could order you around like a lab rat to see how you freaking like being ordered around without any rest" He said, crossing his arms in an angry way. This whole situation today was putting him in a crabby mood, and it was showing. "I'm not her boyfriend, and you can't order me around. I'm with Hawke" He said, still looking pissed at the officer.
7/S-160 let out a sigh. "That must suck for him. Hopefully he will make it through it without too many problems. He seems to have pretty good self control" She said, right as she noticed that he called the officer a dick. "Or maybe not" She added with a sigh, and couldn't think of anything more to say.

Hawke listened quietly to what the GPF LT said. He seemed happy that it didn't seem like the LT planned to stay as part of the Hegemony forever. When he asked if it was wise to follow up war with more war, he shook his head,”More then anything I want the war to be over, but I can't keep letting them do what they've been doing. If they change their ways after this, then I would be more then happy to make peace, but if they continue their ways, I'll fight them,” He said, sighing. He seemed satisfied with the LT's asnwer to his question. He thought about the last part of what the LT said carefully, then said,”I probably would. I don't feel like I owe Leroy a debt for saving her when she was pretty much being tortured, but then, he has done enough bad stuff that maybe it's because I feel like he owes me more then I would owe him.”
The younger Alien's tail lashed back and forth,”If Humans are so inferior, then why do you need their help?” He asked. “We did not contact either. Do not presume to know what happened. We got stuck in this part of the Galaxy, crash-landed, and Hawke found us. He saved us, and with the help of some of our tech, he took us back to our world. In return, we gave him his Mothership. We came to Hawke this time because he is the only human we knew,” He tilted his head and let out a few clicks, then said,”We do not think you are evil. We believe you have good intentions, just the wrong ideas and go about it the wrong way.” Hawke looked faintly surprised at what the Alien said, but didn't say anything. “Which Mothership?” Hawke frowned, “How much do you trust your sister?” He asked,”If she has the plans, we need to get them back. A robot told me that they plan to hand the plans over to the Reapers, or something.” He then narrowed his eyes slightly, “If they try to kill me or my squad, I'm not just going to stand by and let them. If they're a threat that can't be taken care of otherwise, I'm going to kill them, and I'm sure you'd do the same if the situation was reversed,” He said. “You're the ones who think they're better. You usually go around shoving it in people's faces how 'awesome' you are. I don't want to exterminate AI, I would actually rather not. If you think I've got some personal thing against AI, you're clearly misguided. I treat you no differently then I treat other people who I believe are doing wrong.” The Alien tilted his head,”Do not pretend you know what we want. We create AI, and on our planet, they have and many rights as any organic.”
