*Here is where the barracks and armoury of the temple were located. Row upon row of beds sat where the troops and temple defenders slept. Attached to the Barracks was the Armoury for easy access , holding both armour and weapons a like on the off chance the temple was attacked.*

Xeonon lay in the barracks his eyes closed, in his bed he was tossing and turning no doubt keeping those around him awake. However he was fast asleep stuck in a terrible dream where he was deep underground and had lost all his Knights to the darkness when he fell through a hole. Bolting awake he was covered in sweat beads of it all over his heavily scared and burned body, sitting in the bed he moved over and hung his legs off the side putting his face in his hands. Perhaps the dream meant more than it was, or it could have been the fire whiskey he had been drinking the night before.
Dropping off the bed he walked into the communal showers and stripped down, it was still hours before the sun would rise and it looked like he was totally alone. Turning on the hot water he let it cascade off his skin as he stood there hand on the wall. He had taken off his mechanical arm leaving just the stump below his elbow bare. It had been months since he had needed to clean the skin there but sometimes you just needed to do it. He stood there for a while head down as the water just kept running over his bare skin as the water soaked away the tension, worries and pain that he was experiencing.

Xeonon had gotten out of the shower by now and was in the process of getting his undershirt on when the message came through. It was still early so he was not rushed to take a look at it, instead he finished suiting up. Today he had decided to wear one of his more fancy suits of armour on it he had the mark of Solomon on the right shoulder pauldren and a large symbol of the Fel Empire. Twisting the ring that was once Draguses he crooked his neck before picking up the datapad. On it he recieved a automatic copy of any non personal message from any of his Knights and what he saw made him look like the Weasly girl.A short-burst Comms transmission finds its way to the Imperial worlds, warning of the current events on Prakith.####Emergency Transmission####
####Secure Comms Line Open###
####Message Begins####This is Imperial Knight Fenris, Stationed on Prakith.
*Static*
T07e Planet has 0987345/[/# Attack from unknown F000-.[;';rces.
This Broadcast is going out to all Imperial forces..*static*
Help Is required.
*static*####Message Ends####It was short but to the point, anyone who heard it would now know there was trouble afoot in the Empire. Shit he spoke under his breath as the gravity of the situation set in. The Order of the Eye had finally started the attack, he knew it was wrong. It was one of the many things that weighed heavy on his soul, thousands if not more would die but in their sacrifice they would bring about the saftey and security of the empire. Infusing his voice with the force he yelled to the still sleepy Imperial Knights. OKAY YOU DOGS SOMETHING HAS COME UP! WAKE UP MANDATORY MEETING AT ZERO SEVEN HUNDRED! All around him the Knight started to wake, many more jumped out of bed and started getting ready or rushed off to the showers. They didnt know it yet but they would be marching off to war against a formidable enemy.

Time seemed to slow down, Xeonon had closed his eyes as he stood there people rushed about to get ready. Somehow being both aware and ignoring that what was going on around him he focused inwards, what was he going to say how was he going to say it? The best course of action? He had to make a speech... He broke into a cold sweat at the thought of that, he would do it and could do it but by god he was going to do it drunk. Reaching behind his back he pulled out the flask and took a long fucking drink draining the bottle of infinite booze. It did not hit the spot, hell he didnt even hurt him to swallow. The fact that he might send people to their death had kept him sober.
Seven came to fast and when he opened his eyes he was pleasantly surprised to see the room had changed around him. Instead of the sleeping chambers it had been 2 hours ago now it was empty save for everyone staring right at him. Putting his hands behind his back Xeonon began to pace looking at the crowd around him. About two hours ago I received a message from one of our own, Talon Fenris he had been on Prakith checking out the tomb of some long dead Sith when the world came under attack. He came under attack. He paused for a moment, letting it sink in that one of their own was in danger. Now we dont know much, in fact we dont know anything right now. Now I want you to understand the Prakith is not under the Jurisdiction of the Empire but we wont let a little thing like that stop us from saving him and maybe even the planet from whoever was crazy enough to try and invade our neighbor!
Admittedly it was a lame as fuck speech but it was what he said and there was no taking it back. As he stood there watching the people surveyed around him he couldnt help but admire them. What I need is 35 volunteers to come with me and prepare our response so who is with me. Unlike the last time he asked for people to step up, every single one of them stepped forward. The comradely between this band of brothers was thick and Xeonon was forced to pick them which brought up many sour faces. The rest of you, prepare the defences put this place into lock down and for Petes sake, someone secure the Head of State.
As everyone went around getting this and that Xeonon and the 35 went to the armoury and picked up 30 crates marked with three letters S.S.D. These things would be brought into space above the planet soon to get them ready. He needed to go and find some people and do some stuff and things however.

Calvin awoke quickly not exactly knowing what was going on. He still was not used to the setting he was in but they way that the barracks was being woken up was, well he could tell that something was different, something was wrong. He suggesly got out of his bunk and knowing he didn't have much time before this meeting. He went through the routine of geting ready culminating with spending a good chunk of it attempting to get the armor he had been given on, and like usual ending up needing help.
From Xeonon's speech he really didn't understand why they would care about this planet being attacked. Sure they needed to save, well he didn't exactly remember who Talon was but it sounded as if they were sending an army to save a single person. Not really understanding the gravity of the situation he steeped forward when volunteers were asked for more curious then anything.

As the others went around doing their stuff Xeonon approached Calvin he mechanical eyes looking at the the young lad. It had been a while since they had met on Naboo and well things were looking good. I wont lie this is going to be hard, are you sure you are up to this? He said as he typed something into his datapad before putting it back in a pocket in the small of his back. There are going to be a few hours before we get there and something tells me we are going ground side, we should go practice and train while we wait. Wont be nearly as hard as usual but still hard. It was short and to the point but this one had potential and he needed to make sure that he was ready for the trails that were ahead.

"To be honest Im not sure. " He adjusted the armor on his left shoulder, it still was not on right. You would think he would have been able to get it right by now but he still managed to mess something up. "I mean I think I am but, ya Im ready as ill ever be" He had learned a lot since he had left Naboo, it was as if something had been unlocked in him that was always there, he didn't know what was to come but he was as ready as he ever would for it.
"Shure.. uh sounds, fun..." That was the one thing he was still not used to above all else was the training. He had never been much of an athlete but he was getting better, at least he thought he was.

He saw Calvin struggling and did what any other would do he approached him and looked for his approval before adjusting a strap that was placed in the wrong spot. There you go should be better. Hate to toot my own horn but you have been studying under me of course youll learn lots He said with a chuckle. As they would head towards the tunnel that was located in the room that lead to the training grounds he looked over. Dont lie no one likes to train, its a pain in the ass and it takes getting used to but thats how you get to look like this He said as he flexed his arm which of course couldnt be seen due to the armour. Today we wont be nearly as hard as we have done, I just want to see how well you will do in combat. Dont hold anything back on me when we actually get there

He nodded and started following his master as they started to make their way towards the training grounds. He wanted to facepalm when Xeonon made a flexing motion but was just able to restrain himself. Did he know he had his armor on... well it didn't matter. He was glad to hear that the training would be less then it normally was. Usually he could barley walk after a training session, but he understood it was necessary. He nodded when he was told not to hold back. He usually didn't but he knew that whatever they were preparing for must be serious, he just hoped he was ready.

Walking into the Barracks hopefully with the Count in behind him he did his best to hide his smug face. Many people where just getting out from the evening supper and they wanted to come back here. As such it was a bustling with activity and Imperial Knights brushing shoulders walking by one another. Nodding to a few of them as he walked by he went to the bunks at the farthest end of the room. The top bunk seemed to be unused.
Yo Reggie this bunk used? Shaking his head the Kel Dor didnt look up from his Busty Zeltrons 53. In the shacks here there was no private areas really. All shit was done in the open. Well Demici this is your little slice of heaven.

*Ruse laid out, it wasn't bad at all, but Monte couldn't give away ALL his secrets on the first day.*

It was not really the best reaction he could have received but it was better than nothing. Of course he couldn't let on just as Monte held back stuff so did Xeonon. He would break this man, no matter what it took. Well I will see to that some day when there isn't anything to do. Maybe a weekend.Of course he was being a douche to bug the man. Imperial Knights didn't get a day off. Well I am going to leave you to get acquainted with your new brothers in arms. Reggie show the Count around would you? It was an order more than a question but hey one could look nice. Turning around he would soon be lost in the mass of crimson.
Groaning when he heard this he turned on a song from his Datpad. This song was known to children of the late 80s and early 90s. Its the Sonic X theme song, Gotta Go Fast. Going into overdrive the Kel Dor finished what he was doing in less than a minute. Welcome to the Knights punk.

*Perfect. Not even here five minutes and someone already has to pull the "Tough guy brooding" routine. Monte can only cock an eyebrow with a look of completely unimpressed followed closely with a heavy rush of air from his nose.*
"How delightfully droll, here I am only five minutes of arriving and already I meet someone with a chip on their shoulder."
*Monte puts his hand up to his face and feigns fear with biting sarcasm.*
"I suppose I should just curl up into a corner because of the big bad Kel Dor."
*Monte puts his hand down and speaks with a fair amount of biting indifference.*
"Do us both a favor and save it for someone who cares. If it isn't work or training related, then don't talk to me. It'll save us both an extraordinary amount of time from wasting each others."

Of course he was mad, and had a chip on his shoulder. His evening pressure release had been ruined, rather than spending 15 or twenty minutes on it he did it in less than 5. This was not reallt the only reason. You see in the original Empire there was a lot of fear and resentment towards non humans. Although the Fel Empire and the Imperial Remnant had gotten rid of it as best they could it still lingered. Many Imperials did not trust aliens. Treated them less than human. As such the feeling was reciprocated. Aliens resented humans and were hostile towards them. He had to admit though, the way that the count spoke to him well it was rather amazing. Standing up to a person who had resentment to him. Maybe this fella wasnt so bad. What you mean you are not going to mock me? Poke fun at me? Make me want to murder you in my sleep like the bug you are?
This was comparable to the awkward sizing up between roomates when they first met. Had to make sure they were not serial killers. Creepy. Crazy or just people who would not get along.
Reaching under his pillow the Kel Dor revealed a ruler and cracked a smile. So who gets first measurement then bud?

*Clearly this one had issues. Years of having been trained in decorum and diplomacy of the courts, Monte knew how to talk around an issue while talking down to someone without said person being completely aware of it.*
"Mock you? Poke fun? What are we in preparatory school? I have no such need to do so. I thought this was the Imperial Knights? Not playschool. I understand your need to pick on the rich kid, but this is ridiculous. And seriously, who sleeps with a ruler under their pillow? Are things that terribly inadequate down there that you need to measure it daily? Whatever your reason is it is ultimately irrelevant. I gave my word to join this order, and my word is my oath. Being a Count means I am honor bound and hellbent to make good on that word. Whether or not I have your approval. So if you are quite finished, I have a very tough road ahead of me and I would rather not waste the time I have left to wax philosophies with you."
*Monte sits on his bunk and starts to clear his mind. Between this ones mouth or his masters old torture device, it was a toss up of which was the worst to endure.*

Having phased out of the conversation the Kel Dors eyes focused back onto Monte just before he sat down. Sorry dude, forgot you were talking. Whatever it was you said I am sure it was super important and all but seriously you should probably hit the hay for the night. That or introduce yourself to the red headed armour smith. Unknown to Reggie and possibly Montes current writer (idk how much he knows) Monte was the armourer for the Jensaarai if he is keeping that part of the past. If not well then he should still go see him. Get fitted in a handy dandy red suit.

*Droll. Monte would get up and leave as the Kel Dor was beyond hope of any intellectual or sophisticated conversation. The way he tuned him out was proof enough. Monte goes in search of this red head. If only to have a talk armorer to armorer. Monte walks and avoids a lot of the others. They give him the usual looks of "what are you doing here" and "this frilly noble won't last a second". Finally, after a minute of walking he finds the red head.*
"Excuse me, but I was told you are the person to see about armor."

Who other than Finnick would be there? The guy who literally just gets put everywhere. Can't find Xeonon, well Finnick will magically appear, but in this case he was actually there in the armoury of the barracks by his desk muttering to himself. His red hair tied in a bundle of curls behind his head, his armour still on despite it being the down time for the Knights. Looking up at Demici he sized him up but kept his musing to himself. You a new guy I take it. It was a statement, just looking at the man one could tell you that. Well what can I do for you? I don't have all day.

*Impertinence, perfect. It was a far cry better than dealing with the Kel Dor with a chip on his shoulder. Monte doesn't waste another second. He, too had a lot to do in the morning.*
"I need to be measured for the red suit of armor. I was told you were the person to see about that. My name is Monte by the way. Nice to meet a fellow armorer."
*Monte didn't expect a lot of welcome on his first day. Not from these degenerate low lives. But it was a far cry better than the gloom and doom of the Sith, or the two-faced liars of the Jensaarai. Tools, everyone of them. These guys here were well above the Jensaarai's league. Far above the Sith. Only time will tell what happens.*

Red suit of armour! His voice was one of hurt. He put his heart and soul into each suit of armour he crafted. Blood sweat and tears. Yet here was this whelp, claiming to be an armour smith calling it just some red suit. Closing his eyes he calmed himself down and stood up his eyes like venom as they stared at Monte. The name is Finnick oldest living Knight. It was true Finnick had been alive for half a century he had seen the rise and fall of multiple Empires and so far this was the best one he had served. Maybe that was were his hurt came from but really not even this one could explain. Reaching into his pouch he pulled out a measuring tape. Youve worked armour before eh? Perhaps there is hope for you yet to learn that these things are not fancy suits.
