Prefect Nolle Tron strode through the hallways of the military complex on Cholganna. Supervisor Dayna Rhyss was step for step on her right.
"It is an honor to be invited to these meetings. I am not a part of the ruling council, nor a staunch supporter of military actions. Still it seems my input is valued. And I hope that means good things for the people of the Confederation. I will need your help to make sure that the military personnel listen. You have learned their language. Let me know if I am being too…soft for them to hear what I say."
Supervisor Rhyss nodded with a smirk. She had spent some time here on Cholganna going through military training. She could not claim a rank within the military, which was never the intended goal, but she knew how to think like a soldier and a fleet officer. That would be something that would end up being quite valuable as she continued to be more of a bridge between the Prefect's economic needs and the logistical needs of the military.
"Will you present them with the communique that we received?"
As they approached the designated meeting room the Near Duros Prefect gave a bit of a hiss.
"I do not believe that it is something that we can hide. I don't have the power to comply, only the ruling council does. I must present it to them."
Dayna gave Nolle another nod. It made sense, though the Supervisor was keen on the idea of trying to use the asset mentioned for their own uses. That might not have been reality depending on what the asset was, but Dayna was the ambitious type. Anything that could be used to her advantage she was willing to try.
Stepping inside the meeting chambers Nolle gave a smile recognizing the attendees you were already present. They had been part of another recent meeting. A prosperous one that had set certain Confederation standards for raw materials, fuel resources and widely used components. Those standards would help Nolle in her work. She hoped this meeting would go as smoothly, though there was quite a bit of chaos in the Confederation at the moment. She hoped that people would listen to non-military reactions, but the setting of the meeting did not bode well for that.
"Greetings again Supreme Commander and Governor Visconti," Nolle said giving both a respectful nod of her head.
"Governor, this is Supervisor Dayna Rhyss. She had been quite the asset in my work on Confederation wide logistics. I hope you do not mind her presence," Dayna gave a stiff bow to the Governor.
"You and the Supervisor are acquainted I believe, Supreme Commander. I extend the same hope for your approval of her presence." Dayna offered a salute to the Supreme Commander. It was technically not required, she was not a member of his military, but she held him in high regard.
"I don't know who else is expected," Dayna said in a strong even tone. Her eyes switched between the Supreme Commander and the Governor.
"The Prefect's office received a message that I think is best delivered to the Supreme Commander. Though I believe the Governor's ears might benefit as well. It is encrypted with an old Empire of the Lost code. As best we can tell it originated from Lianna, but I think that was either an infiltration, or the work of some very talented slicers to cut off the trace there. We are not sure exactly what it means, but there is no hint of involvement from our enemies." Dayna placed a data card in the holo unit.
The holo-projection flared to life in a dark red glow, casting shifting static into the air above the emitter. Instead of a clear image, it showed restless interference—jagged lines and drifting particles that pulsed like embers caught in an unseen current. The light deepened and thinned unpredictably, forming the faint suggestion of a silhouette that never quite resolved.
When the voice spoke, the distortion reacted. Each word tightened the static into dense crimson bands, vibrating with the weight of low tones and splintering outward on sharper notes. The red glow brightened with emphasis, dimmed with breath, and when silence fell, the interference unraveled again into a hovering haze of unsettled light.
An asset is being returned to the Imperial Confederation. She is not the same as it had been when she left. There has been growth, some of it in troubling directions. Even with this unforeseen development, she will be useful in the growth of the Confederation. It will be in a different manner now. She has been summoned to Lola Sayu to help in dealing with your prisoner problem. If you are not aware you have a prisoner problem, let me assure you that you do.
She will aid your troops on Lola Sayu. As a reward you will give her something she desires more than anything now. Power. Not much. Basically, a title. Maybe Moff? Not over an important system. Something small, Crucival would be a nice start. If you do this she will not be the last asset that you will receive. If you give her time she will correct herself. When that happens you will be glad you gave in to her meager hunger.
