Once some form of order has been restored, you continue. The First House is committing the very acts of treason they have charged against House Heraan, to destroy their age-old rival once and for all."Ī roar erupts from the assembly, and shouts of derision wash over you in wave after wave of anger. "Members of the Great Council, I KarHallarn, call upon you an Honor Debt. If your plan is to succeed there is only one way to place your enemies where you wish. "Brothers and Sisters of Aurora, I give you KarHallarn, Thurokiir of House Heraan, come to answer the charges laid against the Heraani by House Moash, namely that they are treasonous dogs and that they are the enemy of all that this Council stands for. Soon that will change! You stride purposefully to the center of the central ring, and await recognition.īak'ara, the head of the Moashi delegation and chairman of the proceedings raises his hand. Even though they know that what the Moashi have claimed is untrue, they have no evidence with which to defend themselves. You nod in greeting, looking up at their balcony, hoping your presence will give them confidence. The Heraani delegates are looking particularly harried. Shouts of anger and derision hit you like a blow. You make small prayers to Death that you will not be lacking in strength for the trial, push open the huge doors and enter. Quote: You land and immediately make your way to the Empire's Council Hall. You stalk back into your ship, and quickly send a message to Hune, asking him to meet you on Aurora, as soon as possible. The communique demands that you travel to Aurora and speak on behalf on House Heraan.
They have accused House Heraan of all the actions they themselves have undertaken. "They also accuse House Heraan of being in league with the Federation and of using their influence with the mortal enemies of the Auroran Empire to destroy the other four Houses in preparation for seizing the Empire." You allow the rage to build inside you as you read further. You gasp as you read, "House Moash has accused the Heraani of neglecting their duty to the Auroran Empire by not providing enough troops and vessels to man the Federation border." You quickly load it into your wristcomp, and read the contents of the communique. You barely have time to disembark before a Dechtakars messenger steps forward and delivers you a data chip. Quote: No sooner have you touched down than there is a commotion on the flightdeck. Meet me in the bar in an hour," Hune nods his consent and you begin preparations to travel the border. Hune considers for a moment before saying, "I call a Debt of Honor on you, KarHallarn, that if you are wrong I will be responsible for your life." You nod your consent and reply "I call a Debt on you, Hune, that if I am right, you will come before the Great Auroran Council and give evidence of what you will see. If I am to convince the Auroran Council of this then I shall need an unbiased witness. But Techerakh believed it, and the Moashi had him killed for that belief. "If it is untrue then you can charge me with treason. "But that is why I am here to see you," you tell him quietly. Hune pales and replies that it would be considered treason to accuse the First House of such treachery without proper proof. You quickly inform Hune of your suspicions about the Moashi pulling Heraani forces away from key stations and spaceways. You think on this and are forced to agree. He tells you that it will only get harder.
You tell him that the weight is hard to bear. He is glad to see you, and delighted at your promotion. Quote: You land and meet Hune at the Dechtakars base.
