When Soku and Vladimir had entered the Supreme Commander's office, they found that the Imperial was presently speaking with a few of the senior staff among the First Order. Within their gloved hands held their preferred drinks, ranging from simple water to a hard brandy from Corellia to a mixture from Bastion. When the doors slid open, it was Nicademus who immediately noticed his approaching visitors. To notice Soku Ren immediately meant that his present meeting with the officers had to end. Quietly, the Supreme Commander tips the remainder of his Corellian vintage into his mouth before setting the glass down upon his desk. His gaze turns over to one of the senior officers.
Thank you for your reports, General. They were most enlightening. We shall have to continue this later, I am afraid.
The officers turned at the sound of approaching footsteps, noticing the arrival of a Knight of Ren. They too knew what their superior's words meant and had grown accustom to the elevation of the Ren over all other matters. They saluted their leader crisply before walking out of the office. Nicademus waited silently till the officers left before turning his attention to Soku, who introduced to him yet another Savage. He was well aware of the extensive memberships of the House of Savage, he was surely bound to meet another soon enough as Viox had recently taken Iridonia for the First Order.
At present, the Supreme Commander sported a plain Imperial officer's uniform, black fabric instead of the usual military grey or his more formal white uniform, modeled off the Grand Admiral variant of Imperial uniforms. Upon his chest were no medals, no campaign awards, nothing of the sort. Nicademus knew of his position within the First Order and so did those who were his subordinates. The only adornment upon his uniform was a sown emblem of the First Order, upon the right side of his shirt. He never cared much for extravagance nor decorations, unless the situation called for it.
Another Savage you say, Soku? So now I have a Sith Admiral and a recruit to the Knights of Ren... now I just need a General to make it a Savage triad.
Nicademus would remain standing where he was, figuring he could let his legs stretch after sitting most of these past few weeks, drowned in paperwork and holographic meetings. He examines Vladimir quietly for a moment, knowing he hardly needed to do an assessment himself. If Soku Ren vouched for him, then the Supreme Commander could trust in the force-users capabilities. Sometimes, Nicademus felt like he was surrounded by thing at this point; Imperial Knights, Knights of Ren, Sith. They all seemed to be attracted of an Imperial figure and faction.
I am guessing that if he is here, then surely he has been assessed, Soku? I doubt you would bother me to give him an exam.

Harnan strode into the office a few paces later, ever the impassive warrior. He remained fully clad in his armour as he came to a stop a few paces to Soku's left. He barely glanced at the Zabrak, giving the initiate the least amount of attention Harnan felt appropriate considering his new standing amongst the Knights. Unlike his fellow Knight, Harnan did not kneel before Nicademus. Instead, he merely inclined his head to the leader of the First Order. The fewer interactions he had to have with this man, the better. A truce had been struck between them for the time being. But neither was doing it willingly. For now he waited

Vlad had followed the darkly clad Knight of Ren into the Supreme Commander's Office. The pomp and splendor of the Imperial stronghold was impressive. It certainly had been some time since he had been in such luxurious surroundings. As the men left and Soku greeted the Supreme Commander by dropping to one knee, Vlad merely observed the interaction. He reached up with gloved hands and lowered his hood, allowing his sharp blue gaze to take in his surroundings. Unlike the more traditional garb of the Jedi, Vlad only adopted the use of a brown cloak. One that remained open at all times. Beneath that, his powered exoskeleton hummed quietly. Several small indicator lights pulsed softly.
No one save for his long estranged father, knew the true purpose behind the exoskeleton. It was the only thing keeping him alive. It monitored his vitals, among other things. Being resurrected from the Netherworld had some ill fated side effects. And at the time, his father did not have the resources to fully recreate his body. Vlad had perished many years before Xander's arrival on Rhommamool, and his brother, Viox, had seen to his burial. And thus, all physical traces of Vlad had been removed from the living world. His unnatural resurrection had been welcomed, but at the same time the side effects were most unpleasant. His father decided to create a powered exoskeleton that would sustain his life force. And after several years of modifying and tuning the armor, Vlad managed to get it to where it was perfect for him and the life style he lived.
As the Supreme Commander spoke, Vlad allowed his perceptions to extend outwards, reading the man's surface thoughts without intruding into his mind. He was well educated, intelligent and determined. And passionate about his cause. Devoted to the core on his ideals and beliefs. But he wasn't Force sensitive. Curious. Clearly his original assumptions on why his brother followed this man were wrong. Viox was using the First Order's vast resources to further his own personal goals. That much was clear. But now was not the time to analyze his brother's motives. Now was the time to find out where he was going. What he would be doing. Those were important factors. As the Supreme Commander sized him up, another fully armored figure entered and stood off to Soku's left. He payed no attention to him. And Vlad decided not to acknowledge his presence. Vlad cleared his throat and spoke.
"Your Excellence. It is an honor to be accepted into the Knights of Ren..."
Unsure of how to proceed, he just came out with it.
"Forgive me if I seem to be too forward, but I do not share my brother's military discipline. But I assure you that we do share one common characteristic. We strive for excellence and settle for nothing less. I am not familiar with Imperial protocol and doctrine, however I am willing to learn and I am eager to prove my worth. Soku here, has had the pleasure of seeing me in action, however small it may have been. I am driven to ensure that order is returned to our chaotic galaxy. That is what I strive for. And before you hear it from anyone else, yes, I was a Jedi. Trained for nearly two decades. Originally my intent was to become a Battlemaster, however I found the Jedi ideals to be too...constricting when it came to bringing order to to this galaxy...aside from that, I am eager to see what you have in store for me..."
Vlad trailed off and inclined his head slightly in the Supreme Commander's direction and waited to hear what was to become of him now. Surely the Supreme Commander had questions. And Vlad had nothing to hide. He would answer the Supreme Commander's questions to the best of his ability.

Nicademus quietly listens to what Bestellen had to speak of himself. It was clear, from the start, that this Savage was not like Viox nor the others. True, he could sense a similar goal in mind among their household, but they all sought different ambitions. Just like the Delvardus siblings; Nicademus was a leader, Artemis was a solder and young Azria loved her psychology and sciences. Each did what they could for the whole of the First Order, but they all had their own outlying ambitions. The Supreme Commander would finish his drink which was set beside him upon the table before deciding to speak further.
Just so that we are clear, the Knights of Ren are allied with the First Order. The first of them I knew was Soku Ren, who served as an operative I gained during my time as Emperor of a dying Galactic Empire. I read his records and determined him an asset that I brought to Imperial Space. It was in short time that he revealed who he truly was and thus the groundworks of the First Order began. The Knights of Ren still gain troops, ships and other benefits for their close alliance.. the main battleship of your order, for instance, is one of a kind and not known to the galaxy yet. Built within the orbital shipyards of Yaga Minor.
Nicademus then glances at Harnan who stood among them, knowing that the gift of the Resurgent-class Star Destroyer rested within his command. It was a sizable ship, having enough firepower and troops to support the Knights of Ren's operations, whether they were independent or aligned with the First Order. They had access to top military intelligence, clearance to all recruitment grounds, planets, shipyards and buildings, as well as their own frequency among the First Order's communication records.
If there are any orders from me, they are given to Soku. Otherwise, it is he or Harnan who bring me requests and suggestions for operations and so forth. I am both a patron and client, Bestellen. My faction gives the Knights of Ren ample means to perform on their own, but I am also someone who can give them assignments when need be. Just as they give me both means and requests. The First Order relies on the Ren just as the Ren rely upon the First Order.
His gaze turns to Soku for a moment.
Is that not all correct, Soku Ren? For both the Ren and the First Order desire one common goal for the galaxy.

*While it was true that Soku had in fact made something of an "assessment" out in the woods, he had not quite finished testing Vladimir yet. That was, in part, why Soku had brought the Zabrak here, as well as formally introducing him to the man who would lead the galaxy into prosperity. But Soku held his tongue as the two gave a brief exchange, though he did regard his brother Harnan with a nod as the larger Knight entered the room; he was well aware of what Soku was planning to propose.
Vladimir gave a brief account of himself, and again Soku felt a sort of kinship with the Zabrak's disapproval of Jedi strictures and methods. The Supreme Commander then accurately recounted the relationship between the First Order and the Knights of Ren, as well as how such a relationship began. When asked to confirm this account, Soku nodded and took a step forward.* "Correct as always, Supreme Commander.
"That is why I have come to you with my next proposal." *He gained a smirk as he regarded Harnan with a knowing look and Vladimir with an appraising one. Turning back to Nicademus, he continued,* "It is true, I have 'assessed' Vladimir, through research and through our recent meeting. However, there is one more step I would wish to take, both as another sort of 'test' for him, and something that could be of aid to us in our battles."
*He turned towards the nearest window and approached it, staring out into the sky, as though looking beyond the stars.* "Ossus. Long has it stood as a bastion of the Jedi Order... and the home of a Great Library." *He turned back towards the group.* "Needless to say, were we to successfully raid their Library, we could be looking at a wealth of useful knowledge at our disposal. Not to mention, we would deal a crippling blow to the organization that would stand against our quest for peace."

Nicademus remains silent for a moment, assessing the proposal for a moment. The Supreme Commander turns away from them, keying a panel upon his desk which would reveal to be the activation for a large holoprojector. The floor behind Harnan and Vladimir began to open as a rounded and smooth surface rose up. The Imperial calmly presses a few more buttons, making the projector flare to life. He steps away from his desk, passing the hulking figures of Savage and Harnan, pulling up the holoimage of Ossus in full view for all of them.
Ossus... a world of knowledge, a library that rivaled some of the greatest collections in the known universe. Here, the Jedi Order had housed great amounts of texts, tomes and other informative pieces that held the knowledge of thousands of years. For an enemy to touch the world would cause a reaction from the Jedi, to raid and sack it would shake the very core of their morale and foundations. This thought made Nicademus grin to himself.
This proposal meets my approval, Soku. I know you have the Resurgence at your disposal, and with her, 8,000 soldiers. Do you require anything else from the First Order? Anything that I can provide to ensure a thorough sweep of this planet with the raid?

Harnan turned around and walked towards the holoprojector, studying the world once more. It wasn't the first time he had looked upon it. He had spent a number of meetings with the top officers of the WHAP Legion, as he called it. They had strategised a handful of approaches to this raid. From what information they did have, a smaller attack force was decided as the better option. The fewer men in the fray, the fewer men potentially lost. On top of that, with Several Knights of Ren and this new whelping along for the ride, They could handle what ever was thrown at them Between the Resurgence and Soku's Law and Order, we'll be more than covered. Anything larger and we risk expending too many resources. The faster we make this raid, the less chance we have of a larger Alliance force showing up...

*Soku waited silently as the Supreme Commander considered the proposal, even activating a holoprojector of the world as a visual aid. The Knight was confident in its approval, considering the importance the world had to the Jedi and what a successful raid could mean. Deralia, truly, did not hold much importance. And yet, that had not seemed to stop a renegade Jedi from storming the Temple there, with... undetermined goals. Soku had ordered patrol there to be strengthened and contemplated sending more experienced warriors before deciding the world was not worth it. He had taken care of what he had set out to do.
At last, Nicademus gave his approval, offering additional forces for the task as well. Harnan answered on his behalf, stating the plan was to use a smaller force. Soku nodded.* "Harnan is right. Ossus's defenses are nothing great. We should be able to easily punch a hole in whatever pitiful defenses they may have, insert ourselves on the surface, and take what we need."
*He gave a brief look in the direction of Vladimir, idly wondering what sorts of thoughts ran through the Zabrak's mind. After all, he had only just been recruited to the cause of the Knights of Ren; would sacking a Jedi bastion be something he was mentally prepared for? Regardless, it too was a task Soku had devised, and he was eager to see how the new recruit responded...*

Vlad stood, listening silently, arms crossed over his chest. His mind, however, was bustling with activity.
Ossus had long been a Jedi stronghold. The Archives there help more information than one could imagine. He saw the importance of the target. It certainly had an appeal to it. While he wasn't eager to jump into the fray against the Jedi so soon after his recruitment into the Knights of Ren, he also was the odd man out. So he would have to commit to this operation. And he would give nothing than his best. He had given so much to the Jedi, he felt as though the Knights of Ren deserved nothing less of him.
As the heavily armored Knight of Ren replied to the Supreme Commander, Vlad nodded.
"A smaller force is definitely more appropriate...what of the planetary defenses? Anything in particular we should be made aware of? Minimization of the casualties to our forces would be beneficial. Lower the chances of losing men shrinks the size of the footprint we leave behind...so to speak. Is it safe to assume this is simply a smash and grab operation? We aren't planning on occupying the planet in the future? Is so, I would like to make a recommendation..."
Vlad glanced at all of those present, then stepped forward to the hologram. He spun the image and enlarged a specific location on the planet.
"Here. Sparsely populated. No noteworthy defenses to speak of. A small team inserting here would draw little attention from the Jedi defenders...it also houses a back door into the main security substation of the main archive facility..."
Vlad trailed off and once again took in the expressions of those in the room thoughtfully, mildly reluctant to divulge the next bit of information he had. Decided it may impress someone, he sighed and spoke.
"I also have access codes for the sentry turrets in the main atrium. Could prove useful..."
Vlad stepped back and crossed his arms. Either his idea would go over well, or he just stepped on someone toes. Either way, what was done was done. He couldn't take it back now...

Nicademus crosses his arms as he assesses the opinions of the three Ren before him. Ossus was an archive world, yet if the defenses were light, they would surely be a strong contingent to deal with in terms of experience. The Jedi Order would put their best and brightest to keep an eye on the place and ensure its security. The Supreme Commander calmly listens to the assessment of Bestellen, the newly anointed Ren, before examining the area where he indicated.
I will at least loan you a company of AT-STs and AT-XTs. You still need to deal damage and at least they are light and quick.
Nicademus would then pull away and return to his desk for a moment. Once there, the Imperial took a seat, remaining silent. He was clearly deep in thought before his eyes look up at the three Ren. Calmly, the Supreme Commander nods to them.
Bring glory to the First Order. Make our enemies truly fear us.

*Much to Soku's surprise and pleasure, Vladimir stepped forward and put his own knowledge of the planet forth, suggesting an insertion zone and offering knowledge of access codes, the latter almost reluctantly. Soku's eyebrows flicked upward; was Vladimir so dedicated to the cause of order and righting the chaos in the galaxy that he so easily gave this potentially-invaluable information to them?
The Supreme Commander did not seem content to let them go on their way without at least a small gift, one that would no doubt be of great aid. At his final words, Soku placed a fist on his chest and bowed at the waist.* "It will be done, my lord."
*He straightened and then turned towards the hologram, studying the suggested insertion point a moment. He then produced a datapad, copying the coordinates and saving them to his notes.* "Seeing as it has been some time, I do not know if your access codes will still be available for use," *he spoke to Vladimir without looking at him.* "However, it will most certainly be worth an attempt at the least." *He lowered the datapad and looked up.* "There is nothing of particular interest as far as defenses go. Ossus is a remote world, and I'm sure the Jedi and the Alliance would rather save what resources they have for more strategic locations." *He chuckled once.* "This is to our benefit."
*He looked between both Harnan and Vladimir, asking both,* "Anything to add?"

Vlad listened and observed. Learning how everything operated was key at this point. Being controlled and calculated. That was what mattered most. In his youth, he would have tackled this assignment with much more zeal. In his years now, he had learned that acting without thinking often created more problems then it solved. And it didn't do anyone any good to jump into something unprepared. At the mention of the Jedi, he stiffened slightly. Hearing of his former brothers-in-arms was not something he was used to, at least not when he stood on the opposing side of their ideals. And then came mention of this Alliance. He didn't know what to think of it, but since there was no mention of the Republic, it was safe to assume that this Alliance was now in control of what was formerly the Republic. As Soku looked about between both himself and the large armored Ren, he nodded.
"Ossus may be remote, but do not underestimate the resolve of its defenders. Several Knights stationed there were once under my tutelage when I carried the title of Battlemaster. As for the validity of the access codes, do not fret. My astromech unit contains the self mutating algorithm used to create and change the codes. At precisely every ninety seconds, the code changes, as it was designed to. But it follows a pattern. One not discernible by those unfamiliar with the way it works. My droid has been running this algorithm since we departed from Ossus. Which means we will have an up to date code by the time we need it..."
Vlad paused, thinking for a moment. Reluctantly he posed his request to Soku.
"I have a request, if I may? My personal ship has frequented Ossus many times in the past. Recognizable by those who call Ossus home, one could say. Perhaps a small strike team could slip in undetected and cripple some of Ossus' defenses before the initial strike begins? If this is a course of action you would wish to pursue, I would like to be leading that team. My knowledge and appearance there will be invaluable and could prove useful to the large picture..."
Vlad couldn't believe he had just offered to basically sell out his former brethren. But there is was. He was a strategical thinker. One who considered all courses of action and contemplated the most successful one. The suggested course of action, at least to him, seemed most sound. And it was likely to yield the best results instead of showing up on Ossus' doorstep with a full outfitted Star Destroyer. If they could insert a few hours before the initial strike, the First Order would gain more knowledge then they had ever thought possible. And seeing as how Vlad, while no longer being a Jedi, was still welcomed by his former brethren, it wouldn't be hard to fabricate a solid reason for his sudden appearance. He eyed up Soku, ignoring the sound of the large armored Knight's breathing beside him. Soku was much more devious than he had originally let on, and Vlad knew he could gain his trust by offering up useful information and allowing the Knight of Ren to capitalize on what Vlad knew. Before Soku could speak, a slightly off topic question popped into his mind.
"It looks as though I am going to need a new name. One befitting of my newly acquired position with in the Knights of Ren. Wouldn't you agree?"
He continued to watch Soku, waiting to gauge his reaction at both the information he provided and the suggestion of a new name.

Harnan eyed Vlad suspiciously, as the Zabrak offered forth knowledge that he had access codes to the sentry turrets. The fact their new brother had so much knowledge of this location made him weary. It was a boon to their cause to have such knowledge and a pivotal asset in this raid. But at the same time. A recently turned Knight of Ren was not someone he trusted on a mission to attack their former homeworld. In fact, he didn't much trust any Knight of Ren to lead the charge against their former comrades. It was part of the reason he and Illaria had taken the lead on the Deralia mission.
His attention shifted then to Nicademus. Barely inclining his head to the man as thanks for the extra artillery. Soku might praise the very ground the leader of the First Order tread upon, and Illaria might have been head over heels for the man. But he bore no such good feelings towards Nicademus. He was a means to an end for the Knights of Ren. The sooner that end came, the better in his books.
Before he could respond to Soku's question, Vlad was once more interjecting some more of his knowledge. The more the man said, the less Harnan felt it was a wise idea to bring him along. But he had a feeling that Soku wouldn't listen to his objections. Besides, they couldn't call any of the others to replace him. And whilst he and Soku were some of the strongest Knights, even he knew the pair of them wouldn't be able to do this without some help. The least he could do, was try and ensure his involvement wouldn't compromise this operation I have to disagree with the Zabrak. If we want to leave a small footprint, we might as well just send in some cloaked vessels... If we're going to do this, we might as well do this right and break the door in. We can certainly use the back entrance to get some people inside. I assure you though, what ever Jedi are left there, will be no match for us. The Jedi are held back by their code and misguided beliefs. As for their defences, they will fall. The Alliance and Jedi have committed their resources to other fronts. They wont be able to react to this. As for this advance party... Suffice to say, I have my reservations about it. You know how I feel about these sorts of things brother... Harnan turned towards Soku then, addressing his last comment to his fellow Knight of Ren. It was a risk sending anyone in as an advanced force, let alone anyone as well known as Vlad apparently was. It could very well backfire on them

*Soku felt dismissive about the "resolve" of the Jedi defenders. Deralia and Dantooine's temples remained in ruin, their numbers reduced to zero; "resolve" had not helped them then. What was more interesting was that apparently Vladimir's astromech still held the program for scrambling access codes, and was still following its specific pattern... His brows knit as he processed his thought. Having an astromech with such a code... But surely its absence would have been noticed by now?
Then Vladimir proposed himself leading an advanced strike force in his own ship, one that should have been able to receive access to the surface easily. Soku pondered this, while at the same time impressed by his apparent drive so soon after pledging himself to the cause. Or was it a ploy? Soku had to consider everything; the assault on Ossus was the test, after all. He also had to be careful not to give him too much free rein on this mission...
Harnan then spoke his reservations, seemingly asking Soku for a confirmation. Soku nodded, replying,* "Indeed... However, I do wonder whether inserting ourselves at the same time as we initiate an orbital assault would be a strategic move... Create disarray... However." *He looked upon Vladimir.* "Whatever we choose, I will have to decline your request to lead any sort of strike force. You may still provide your astromech, should it be capable of accessing the sentry turrets, but, until we have certainty of your abilities and resolve, I would rather see you as a participant, until such a time you have 'earned your stripes,' as it were. Then, perhaps, we can talk about titles..."

Polite and respectful. Not dissimilar to dealing with Jedi Masters upon the eve of battle. Though, Vlad expected nothing less from one who used to serve the Jedi.
Vlad puffed up indignantly at Soku's rebuttal about him leading the advanced strike team.
Despite having been a Jedi for many years, he hadn't actually been a Jedi for nearly a decade now. He had been considered an ally of the Jedi up until recently, when he decided he needed to drop off the galactic grid. His resolve, however, remained strong and his abilities were unmatched when he was pushed, in no small part due to the powered exoskeleton that was keeping him alive. It enhanced his natural prowess to heightened levels. His reflexes were faster and more precise than most, Force Sensitive or no. At this point, he even doubted his own brother, a being who had devoted his life to the physical arts of fighting, could keep up with him. Regardless, this wasn't about him. It was about the greater pursuit of order. And that would have to be satisfactory enough for now.
Vlad deflated his ego, for now and inclined his head respectfully towards Soku.
"As you wish..."
He wasn't happy about being tossed to the back seat so readily, as his knowledge of other Jedi strongholds wasn't as significant as Ossus was. But again, this wasn't his assignment. He wasn't in charge. Though now he appeared to the others as untrustworthy, especially since Soku turned him down after the armored one had added his two creds worth. Now all that was left to do was listen and wait. Hopefully they would be getting under way soon, as Vlad was becoming more and more eager to prove himself to these Knights.

Harnan was somewhat relieved that Soku was in agreement regarding Vlad. The Zabrak was untested and had yet to prove his allegiance to the Knights. This would be a good start towards seeing just whether Vlad could commit himself. Something the Zabrak started on the road towards a few moments later, albeit somewhat hesitantly. But, there was a progression to such things. Trust was something that had to be earned, not through merely joining and saying the words. But through action and commitment to the cause. Something he and his fellow Knights had proven on countless occasions. He turned his attention back to the holo image of Ossus, considering the option that Soku had suggested. It could be an advantageous move, especially if pulled off properly A double penetration of their defences huh? It would certainly put them off guard and make our domination of them a lot easier... We can have ships landing in the chaos caused by the arrival of the Resurgeance. At any rate, I should get back to the ship and oversee it's preparations and the addition of the new units courtesy of the First Order... His gaze shifted briefly to Nicademus then, watching the man one final time. He then gave a nod of his head to those assembled, before taking his leave of the office

*Soku raised an eyebrow ever so subtly at what he perceived to be discontent from Vladimir at the refusal to allow him to lead such a mission. But the Zabrak seemed to have control enough to recognize his position and relent, eliciting a small smile from Soku. The Knight then looked to Harnan as he announced his leave to oversee preparations and he inclined his head to him. After Harnan departed, he looked towards Vladimir and nodded again.* "We should be preparing ourselves as well. I shall debrief you on everything you know apart from what you have told us here, and then we shall be on our way." *He turned towards Nicademus, bowing once more.* "For the glory of the First Order." *Without another word, he turned and marched from the office, expecting the Zabrak to follow him.*

Vlad inclined his head, respectfully and waited for Soku to lead the way out of the Supreme Commander's office. While he was eager to prove himself, he also knew he needed to keep his wits about him. Hopefully everything would proceed as smoothly as discussed. Though he was apprehensive about that. Nothing ever went according to plan or as smoothly as originally discussed. Vlad merely followed the Knight, as he still was unsure as to where he was going...

* As Thrakk walks down the long corridor to the Supreme Commander's office he passes a few Knights of Ren who had just exited the chamber. With a curt nodded he continues on until he comes to the office door. The guards grant him immediate entry and Thrakk walks inside. Standing in front of the Supreme Commanders desk, Thrakk speaks to his leader. *
" Supreme Commander I have returned successful from my previous assignments, My forces are ready to be redeployed as am I. What is thy bidding? "

Nicademus was quietly about to go back to his paperwork as Lord Thrakk entered his office.
Ah, Lord Thrakk, I am glad to hear of such success. I do believe I have an assignment for you and our new recruit, Fleet Admiral Aurel Pellaeon of the Warlord Command.
The Supreme Commander hands a datapad to Thrakk.
It appears some of the IGBC prisoners, who serve as slaves upon the mining facilities of Mygeeto, have begun to riot. In short summary, an error on part of the recently executed Overseer has allowed them to be armed and take over a few facilities. I wish to send you, Admiral Pellaeon and soldiers of the 2nd Imperial Corp to put down this uprising.... show no mercy to these inferiors.
