Revenchent
Dungeon Master
This new job was so....stale. Calico was seated behind his usual desk in the FleetOps tower at the center of Drev'starn. From here, he could look out over the entire bustling city as the sun's warm orange glow slowly began to fade. It was almost night, and there was still so much to do.
It was only a few days ago when he'd received the message. A promotion, to Grand Marshal. Per his request; there was no ceremony. Calico didn't want to draw unneeded attention, and a few days of privacy was a lifetime in the world of politics. Not to mention the shady business that he would need to get to doing. The Republic had refused to offer up a scientist that the Dreadguard desperately needed--now he just needed to formulate a plan to take the scientist without the Republic being the wiser.
He pushed up from the wooden desk and clicked off the holo-vision hanging from the ceiling. His leather boots thudded against the hardwood flooring as he paced in front of the massive window overlooking the city.
This really isn't helping.
With a sigh, the newly announced Grand Marshal plopped down on one of two idenitcal sofas in the center of the room. There were a few other comforts in the four room office--as it doubled as his home. The clone reached up to rub his temples in an attempt to think, and shirked off his jacket. Now wasn't the time to worry about military issues.
Now he needed to pay a debt.
Calico sat staring at the silver sliding door, leaving it unlocked for whomever was to come. He had sent the message to Zandra, as polite a summon as he could think of. Now he needed to see if she would show up or not.
