[u][i]A Deal[/i][/u] [u][b]Bram Sector, Hub-1.6.B, The Seat[/b][/u] "I know you all must have question on why you were brought here. I intend to answer that now: the Concordat wishes to use you." Armov was not one to beat around the bush, finding that honestly was always the best policy. "As most of you have no doubt experience, the J'Jaro have grown emboldened, engaging in raids against the vessels and colonies established on the border of our and their space." "Your own experience within K'Lan was one of a dozen that occurred this month. Hundreds have been taken to be sent to different laboring and production facilities, across their space." He tapped on a tablet in front of him, bringing up a map displaying instances in space were the J'Jaro had attacked. "The attack on K'Lan was conducted in hopes of crippling the shipyards of that sector, as it was a major income of resources. It was never expected any of the slaves their would be able to escape. But you all did." "And in doing so, gained the attention of the Concordat. We've recovered the logs of the Drop-Ship you... commandeered, and to say the least, you are a diverse group." He said, running known files of them across the screen for them to see. "Mercenaries, deserters, smugglers, inter-dimensional travelers, thieves..... very diverse. However, being that many of these things are illegal under law of the Ministry of Doctrine, we'd have no choice but to remand you to the Curators..." He gestured to Seven, who stood silent and motionless. "That however, is not the case. We would instead, use you as a diversion." He went to the tablet again, replacing the map with that of one showing a local area of space owned by the J'Jaro, dots peppering it. "Each dot represents a vessel of the J'Jaro, red representing supply, blue representing a slaver." "You all, will be given a retrofitted Calypso Frigate, placed within this area, and given free discretion as to your next course of actions." He waited to see the reactions of those present, before continuing. "We are, in layman's terms, sponsoring you to incite unrest and terror within the sector, given that your targets are affiliated with the J'Jaro or enemies of the Concordat, and that, on occasion, you will travel to a place of our choice and complete an objective." "This is a choice however. Those of you who arrived by choice, will be free to leave. Those of you compelled to attend, or were brought with restraint, well, you will be tried and should it pan out a certain way, incarcerated." He finished, as he clasped his hands together in what of reactions [spoiler]Open to those who previously responded.[/spoiler]
