George: (looks around) (whispers) I hate being in dark.

Attack on ground where your enemy believes you will not, from an unexpected direction at an unexpected time. Defend where your enemy believes you are not, and when he believes you will run. Surprise is the key to victory, and speed is the key to surprise. For the soldier, speed is life.

(a large hologram appears where the pillar used to be)

Sortilegus: Fifth Standard Month of the Second Vicis, twenty-ninth day.

Maioribus: So... two months and fours days ago.

Sortilegus: Percisely.

(a planet appears in the hologram)

Sortilegus: Arca Cluster. Planet-

Exilialis: (interupts) Achrain.

Sortilegus: (glances at Exilialis curiously)
(looks at Starr) It seems this Nex Abbo has great emotions towards this planet.

(looks at Exilialis) Give me a-

Exilialis: Crawl inside my head and you won't have a head.

Sortilegus: (looks at Starr)
(then back at Exilialis)
Very well... as I was asserting.

Sortilegus: Our enemy uses an "invisible force feild" as you would call it to cloak the planet it attacks. Thus, the planet cannot call for assistance.

Now, this... is four standard hours afterwards.

(the planet suddenly becomes visible again, but it's green landscape is now dark canyons and a glassed surface)

(a large shadows floats above the planet for a breif moment before apparently jumping into hyperspace)

Sortilegus: (turns to face Starr)

Exilialis: (clenches his fist) (quietly) Why Achrain?

Starr: (looks at Sortilegus) The same?

Sortilegus: Yes. Not much different about it.

Starr: (glances at the hologram) Then we can defeat it the same way?

Sortilegus: That's the one thing that has changed, my Regina... it seems to have advanced in it's military tactics as well as it's defense against the Abboes' weapons... I've searched it's construct.

Starr: Well search it again. There must be a weakness.

Sortilegus: Yes, my Regina.

Fortis: Oh... I was too.

Exilialis: (grabs Fortis' head)

Fortis: Ow!

Exilialis: There... that ought to fix it.

Fortis: (rubs his head) Fix what!?

Exilialis: Nothing... I just wanted to hit you.

Starr: Enough...
