If Holli had wantd revenge? Vikra Ja, was an ex Colonial Guard Commander. He had been too late, to save one of the colonies attacked by Cflen forces. For some bizarre reason he could never understand; THEY had denied such an attack having taken place. Too many indicators pointed to them as the killers for it NOT to have been them?
His brother, had been one of those, the Cflen had slaughtered. The drained body had been found half eaten by their creature, the Fodawke. Half of his brothers face, the only recognizable bit of flesh on him.
Hatred of them? Revenge? Ah there's an echo of Holli's thoughts. Not to kill them. He wanted this race annihilated. When Holli offered him all the money the weapons and more to carry out a raid, an unsanctioned, technically, illegal raid. On the Cflen home world with mercenaries? At his command..
Four thousand able bodies, 3 heavily armed M Class battle cruisers with two A Class Che'Garian star bursters at his disposal? Was he going to say NO? Where the hell was this Cflenia? Who knew of it, who had maps?
Thanks to Trime the Animor and his sister Lizet, Nathan the Ka of Fendiq had maps? Data on the planet, suitable landing areas, essential targets and a whole lot more! The raid would be something the Cflen, would never, forget!
The order from Vikra was short and to the point. Find every living Cflen and destroy them. Trash the planet. Take whatever resources of value, leave the place desolate.
Rumors? Ariel had been aware of them. Retaliation for the attack on the palacial? She would be a fool to ignore the possibility but HOW and WHO and could she discover in time to thwart the BEAST in its attempts to do whatever it had planned?
Her intelligence was limited, there were, too many races, WAITING on the sideline. For good reason on their part, or so they believed, NOT at this moment in time, to choose sides. Sensible to see how things developed re the decision by all concerned on the awaited verdict. The Cflen declared as 'Hostiles'?
"I think you need help” her Queen had been insistent “I have one of the Elite who is well trained in Galacia Federa law, I will dispatch her to you!
Our forces are nearing the planet they call Venus, in Earth’s solar system. Known to us as Solus1. It is imperative that we keep the Galacia Federa Judiciary, from making a decision NOT in our favor until we are ready to respond to any threat, that that, creates in its wake. We need them DELAYED! I accept it is unfair to expect you, to carry the burden this entails.
To ensure we stay within their statutes as defined within their laws, affecting most present? You need someone who is more than competent in that. You need Ljne”
Ariel knew Ljne was shrewd, clever and devious. Admittedly she tolerated her, knowing that given the opportunity she would have been delighted to see Ariel compromised. They had never liked each other. All too apparent to some.
Unknown to Ariel, her Queen knew this. She had insisted Ljne attend sessions with the Holy one. Gi, the daughter of Gianne. To learn the truth about the Cflen and why, they must NEVER fight amongst themselves or seek to cause division within the Cflen. Others would be more than willing to do that for them!
