"Alor'ad, one of the convoy has broken formation. Outbound vector indicates they're attempting to get to jump distance," reported Baltan Kyrr's operations officer. Nyles could see a holographic representation of the vessel burning hard for the edge of the gravity well. That ship was much smaller and at its current vector would break free of their defensive posture before any of their ships could vector to protect them.

"That's their decision, let them live with the consequences," he said. No sooner than the words had left his buy'ce's speakers did the display show the overzealous pirate they'd engaged move to intercept. Baltan turned to him though Nyles pre-empted him by adding, "Not worth it." Baltan's acknowledgement signal flashed in the corner of Nyles' HUD in response.

"Tra'alor'an, incoming message from the surface. Friendly," came the announcement of the comms officer. Surface? Friendly? They were spread thin in orbit, their surface pressence was virtually non-existent. Nyles was no grunt, but he'd presided over enough surface operations to know that this was either bad news or worse news, that much he was sure of.

"This is Sergeant Jessen, calling in to Admiral Nyles Kote Nyles Kote . I request a hot drop of droids on my current position. Have a pickup ready shortly after the drop! I have a score to settle with a sniper..

Hot drop. So things predictably were going to haran in a handbasket, or however that aruetii phrase went. "Can we spare any droids?" he asked, speaking about the ship's complement of ID-01 'Gar Verd' Infantry Droids used for everything from ground side objectives, to shipboard security and boarding assaults. On the Morut, he was fully aware of his shipboard naval infantry's offensive and defensive posture, this however, wasn't his ship.

"If we're boarded..." started Baltan before correctly interpreting his seemingly unamused blank buy'ce expression. "A platoon, alor." There was a fraction of a second's pause before Baltan likley made the connection, "Two Vuhyr'galaar Gunships."

That was half their complement of gunships, but they had their escorts gunships' troop conveying capabilities to fall back on worse come to worst. Jate, Baltan was proving his ability to adapt to changing situations. If nothing else, this impromptu inspection of the latest naval officer batch and their capabilities on the job was proving to be fruitful. "Comms, patch me through," said Nyles, taking a breath. The green 'connection established' alert appeared in the corner of his HUD a moment later, "Sergeant Jessen, this is Fleet Admiral Kote, standby, support is on the way."

Nyles could see the holographic representation of the two gunships leaving the Kad Ha'rangir b' Phatir's hangar, burning with all speed for the planet. "Oya manda, vode," he whispered after them to himself. He returned his attention to the convoy itself, after all, they still had a trap to spring, and unfortunately for whoever going to attempt this, their main guns were now charged. He almost felt bad. Almost.
 



The thud of Neriah kicking a corpse caused him to look in her direction, then he continued on his way. Acier's huffing did not escape him, but his question made him stop mid stride. The metal of his boots settled into the floor as he stood for a moment, silent.

“I learned long ago, Acier, that if you model your morals after the examples presented to you, instead of your own, you lose your own individuality. You become a ghost of what you follow.”

He slowly turned to look at the acolytes.

“It is not about her morals versus mine. I know she would just leave me behind, same as you, Neriah and Ghruna would leave me. It would not surprise me. It would not surprise me if you or Neriah tried to kill me now, though your chances would be-”

He rolled his shoulders, a loud line of pops rolled down his spine.

“Low…I also would not leave either of you behind as well.”

A flash of pain ran up his side causing him to sneer as a spurt of blood left his mouth. The small droplets that hit the floor sizzled before cooling. He coughed a bit to clear his throat then wiped his hand over his mouth.

“Do not mistake this as me teaching you MY morals, my ways. I expect you all to find your own path. Acolytes or not, you are your own selves. The influences of others only shift you as much as you want it to.”

He slowly turned to continue walking.

Boy, you need to stop. The healing is taking longer as you move, and you have a lot of internal bleeding.

Varin's eye twitched as he grunted, now holding his side. Ignati's warning not falling on deaf ears, he slowed his pace a bit.

How deep?

He waited for Ignati to respond as the walls warped again around him, this time he could hear music from his home. His eye darted from wall to wall as he continued.

It's deep.

He growled in frustration.

“Acier, I may need a hand if you are willing.”

He looked back at him, his brow sweating a bit more.
