As was often the case with Planet Escalon. A great deal of traffic was ferrying from the jump points and the planet. Most of it authorized under the auspices of the various noble houses. Which was of course only permitted by the local Imperial Authorities and loosely allowed by the Imperial Navies. Only Great Houses were allowed to use military vessels.
There are of course merchant vessels. Of the richest in the sector and in the Empire in it's entirety. Mostly they come to peddle their wares to the noble students attending the Academia. Currying the favor of the future heirs of the Empire's nobility. It is also an ideally neutral location for meetings with rival merchants.
On this day however. All of that change. On this day a small fleet of Imperial Warbirds arrived. It swept through the traffic rather swiftly. Managing to arrive in orbit of the planet rather quickly.
A few vessels of the great houses stationed in orbit demanded to know their purpose. But were then suddenly attacked by overwhelming force. Once the orbit was cleared of any potential warships they moved in close. A cascade of fire raining down into the atmosphere. They were all directed at the Academia. However because of the nature of the weapons used, relatively short ranged, and the atmosphere of the planet. It was akin to shell based artillery bombardment. Even so, there were enough ships to level every section of the school, once this was done the ships departed.
The officials of the world received an edict by the new Empress that any surviving nobles be detained as prisoners of the state.

(The Darkest Day Part I)
Ven watched as Cirenia's ship Heaven's Grace took off first it was all calm still trying to process what just happened. He felt weird like something wrong was about to happen. He Stood there for a good long while only to soon hear a cracking he was taught to recognize as an orbital attack soon the area where the Academia was soon destroyed in hellfire. Ven stood there frozen unbelieving what just happened. In his thoughts first thing in his mind was everyone else, were they there when it happened or what?!! Quickly Ven went on Ben's Velocycle and headed towards the Academia after the attack hoping there might be survivors even if it was impossible. As he arrived he noticed nothing left but creators as he walked the now former Academia grounds. As he passed he saw some remains that managed to survive that but no leaving.
'This can't be happening!!'
Soon he walked up where the mansion was and dreaded what he saw. He saw nothing there was nothing in front of him.
'No... why? What the hell is going on?!!'
Ven went into his knees and stayed there for a long time long enough some of the local Imperial Police soon arrived and arrested him.
"Sir he is defiantly a noble..", one officer soon said.
"Well boys looks like we captured a high ranked one at that Ven Avenor and heir to one of the Great Houses. By Imperial Edict of her Imperial Majesty Empress Cirenia The First you're under arrest and now a prisoner of the state. All rights of Noble status has been voided.. take him away.", the lead officer said leading Ven towards his fate.
(Some hours later)
Ven was in a large holding cell with other nobles all of them beind dragged and thrown into the cells. Screams and people yelling they were nobility they had no right to do so. Some complained others were too shell shocked at what was happening. What was happening Ven thought? Something is wrong here especially after his talk with Cirenia... it felt odd even more so why did she give blood on his lips? Something wasn't right Ven knew but this was worse.
'Now everyone else is dead and only I saw this happen what is going on? Cirenia why are you doing this it makes no sense at all!!'
Soon some guards came in throwing another noble into one of the cells which then came in and grabbed Ven with him not even struggling unable to do much as it were. As they lead him away in cuff he soon was in an interrogation room and left alone there. As he sat there waiting soon the door slid open with a click of a cane he recognized.
"Director Claude Veracruz?!! What is going on?!", Ven managed to say as the man soon sat down across from Ven.
"Something foul my boy something foul...", Claude soon said.
"I take it has to do with the edict right?", Ven soon asked.
"Yes.... the edict itself is troublesome already on her first day as Empress she already broke the Right of the Nobility and destroyed the symbol that was suppose to unite them under the Imperial family.", Claude then answered which made Ven more shocked.
"Then what is going to happen to me and the other nobles?", Ven asked.
"Nobility for now are to be imprisoned as prisoners of the state not sure if they will be sent to the Tower of Basalt but Empress Cirenia herself is what is troubling me.", Claude soon said.
"Speaking of that I talked to her before she left... she was acting weird and different then she normally did.", Ven soon said.
Soon Ven told Claude everything that happened that lead to this moment which he soon finished Claude nodded his head.
"Ven... there is something not all know in fact I only recently found out only some its one of the biggest secrets of the Empire as a whole. You see the Imperial Family have a unique blood so unique I am not sure what it is only that if you came into contact with that blood you would instantly die as the blood acted to kill any human. But you sitting before me shows that you survived the only survivor that I know of as of now. Which itself doesn't surprise me and now makes it more important I have to get you back to Aurlia Prime. I believe your grandmother would know more on this subject as he do not have much time. You see as the Director of the Swords of the Emperor as we have done many great deeds. I managed to get a private talk with you and now we must leave now. If we time this time we will be out of here within enough time no one will notice.", Claude said as he took out an Swords of the Emperor uniform which he could disguise himself.
"Director... I... thank you.", Ven managed to say as he got ready.
As Ven was now in disguised followed Director Claude through the Imperial Hall of Justice HQ Prison section Ven noticed many nobles that survived were being dragged in droves. Some of them bloody others crying about one of their loved ones who got shot. Ven kept calm as they moved about but this this wasn't right to detain all those with noble blood some may be corrupt but there was a large amounts who were completely utterly innocent.
'Since it was an Imperial Edict... I wouldn't be surprised if all the core Imperial Worlds are experiencing this. Speaking of that what of my sister? She is an Vice Admiral within the Imperial Navy so would they even arrest her too?'
All these thoughts in his head and none of it made sense. As Ven and Director Claude exited out of the main building and into the parking lot for Director's Air Carriage it was one thing that was off. He looked and there was no one about. Red alarms was in his head soon as they were nearly to the director's air carriage. Soon someone appeared out of no where in front of them.
"Well well this is something I wouldn't expect I guess your old age you grew soft hearted Director.", a man who's face he didn't recognize.
"Assistant Director Narburius Neen!!", Claude managed to say as the man who looked in his early 30s.
A man who was a new rising star that is said better then Maria "Annaroze" Avenor. A Genius who's skills that could decimate even the best skilled Imperial Guards as well. As well the successor to Director Claude Vercruz when he retires in four months. The man had a a pony tail and blonde hair as well. His eyes extremely dark and stare cold.
"Director... it seems you will bring ruin to our order... by helping a state criminal you already broke the law by helping Marquis Ven Avenor. That I cannot let you do.", Narburius Neen soon said.
"My old age maybe getting the better of me but this edict is completely wrong doing this would only bring about a civil war that could engulf this entire Empire!! Endless senseless chaos it would weaken us to those who despise us especially the Tetranni Dominion which have been plotting an revenge ever since their defeat. We cannot allow this to happen its not just an order its for the stability of the Empire we must tell the Empress this is wrong and would only lead to our own destr-", Claude managed to say only to be shot a few times in the chest from a hand Gauss gun.
"Director Claude!!", Ven managed to say as the old man's cane was dropped to the ground with Ven catching the man.
"My boy...", he managed to say still breathing but blood coming out.
"Director...", Ven managed to say.
"Ven... there is something you need to know and I am afraid it might now be too late. I saw both you and your father grow into good men, even your father died for the sake of the Empire. But... but your different from him you mustn't just die for the sake of the Empire but need to live. Your a rare kind of Noble one who truly cares not only for the Empire as a whole but even the common people. You must live not for the sake of this nation but for the sake of its people. Empires crumble but the people do not. Just remember... remember even if everything seem wrong continue to fight it like your grandmother and father. Show the strength of your House a House that maybe outnumbered but are worth a lot more. Fight for the sake of this people. Ven... just... remember... remember... remember... eghh..", Claude managed to say then he died.
"Director Claude?!! Director? Come on remember what?!!", Ven managed to say with tears in his eyes. One of the few men who taught him a lot along with his Master Martin just died in his arms. Anger... resentment... he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.
"Well that old fart had to die anyways... an order is an order even if it makes no sense. Now for you Ven Avenor... I think it might be better if you just died right here...", Narburius Neen said as he walked up to them aiming his gauss gun at Ven's head.
As soon as he figure was about to pull a trigger a black katana soon came out of came and cut the cut in half.
"Wha!! No... how could you be?!! Its you!!", Narburius Neen said as he jumped back.
"Well its been a long time eh brother?", a man said who was completely cloaked in black but his hood was down which showed the face which ven managed to say also in shock.
"Anthony?!!", Ven soon managed to say outloud.
"Well it seems our reunion as just occurred after five years eh Ven?", Anthony soon said with his Katana was wielded in the form of the Blazing Rose.
"My my Anthonius? How long has it been? Eleven no twelve years?", Narburius soon asked.
"It has brother and seems you even took the name of of Neen!! Did you not forget the name of House Augustus?!!", Anthony yelled.
"House Augustus? Wasn't that the Noble House from the Northern Region that was all brutally murdered and went into extinction?", Ven soon said.
"Hahahahaha Yes that it was and I did it!! I killed my father, mother, and even my sister on that day!! Wouldn't they understand? Understand that nobility doesn't give you the right to enslave common people?!! To use them as play things!!", Narburius soon shouted.
"That doesn't matter what matters is you murdered our family!!", Anthony soon shouted out as he charged with his katana.
Soon a battle erupted as both men wore a newer type of power armor which Ven only heard from Doctor Luka.
'Those are the newer Skin tight Power Armors!! They sacrifice heavily bulky defense and able to carry heavy weapons for lighter ones!! As well they are able to cloak as well increase ones strength ten fold!!'
As the battle continued Anthony soon says, "Ven there is not much time for now escape in the Director's car and head to the point that is already registered within the computer frame there someone will come get you!!"
"But... its been forever and Master Martin is worried about you as well! Even my sister Lurescia misses you!! You been missing all this time and only for this to happen.", Ven managed to say but Anthony soon smiles then replies, "Do not worry Ven did you forget? We were both taught the Way of the Blazing Roze being Master Martin's only apprentices. I been at this longer so I am better do not worry."
"Fine but I better see you again and don't die", Ven soon said as he left.
"I don't plan to die I have many things I still need to do.", Anthony soon said.
Ven soon entered the air carriage activating the key then speeds out of the parking lot towards the destination that the terminal soon showed.

(The Darkest Day Part II)
As the battle finished Narburius looked at the bloody corpse of Director Claude on the ground and was a bit annoyed.
"Escaped... both of them fucking figures. Regardless they both wont get far I will simply have the jump points and request assistance from the Imperial Navy to prevent their escape. Shooting the director seemed a bad idea too but no choice in the matter though would of been better if he retired. Nobles are all the same... well whatever this new edict is best thing that could happen soon they will all feel pain that the commoners have felt for so long.", Narburius soon said as a few police officers soon running in.
"Assistant Director Neen we heard explosions and fighting wha...", Narburius soon yells, "Officer we have a priority one alert the Director who was heading home was ambushed and brutally murdered by two nobles!! I recognize their names as Earl Anthonius Augustus who goes by the name Anthony and Marquis Ven Avenor. Both have shown no mercy to our dead director so we must not show any to them quickly we need to find them and now!!", Narburius soon said with the police soon saluting to this.
As he walked away Narburius smiled then thinks, 'Heh so simple... Ven Avenor you will now be branded a murderer and traitor to the Empire soon the whole empire will know of this!! I will now simply use some of Duke Awdr Evaris contacts and add a bit more dirt.. yes using that man til he ran like a coward he is was the perfect thing to do. His Phantom Pain Squadron will not withstand the Swords of the Emperor not as with me as Director!! hahaha!!'
(Elsewhere at the destination point.)
Ven arrived at the destination point as he parked the Director's Air Carriage. Looking around he noticed how the day was passed noon. Looking around he saw not much only a park and a few people walking and chatting cheerfully.
'No one knows what is going on here they haven't even paid attention that much even though there was an attack on the Academia Supremus.'
As Ven walked in the park he soon at down at a bench. There he waited til a certain green haired vixen soon sat right next to him.
"You know Ven... you look good in those Police uniforms.", Esmeralda soon said with a smile a green dress and a hat on her head as well.
"Esmeralda... I thought..", Ven was about to say only to get closer to him.
"Now now before you get all flustered we all escaped in time... I am here to pick you up at the hiding place we are at. Do not worry those Felicia, the assassin, and the silver haired woman is looking out for us. Ben is currently guarding the doctors at the hiding place now. Lets get going.", Esmeralda said as both of them continued to walk towards their destination.
They soon got into an taxi air carriage using false IDs to get about til they arrived at another part of the city. Ven and Esmeralda soon arrived in front he completely was surprised at this.
"Well of all places.. Mister Lorean's is unexpected.", Ven soon said.
As they entered the premises Ven was lead into a secret part of the building. As they arrived he noticed everyone was sitting about waiting on Ven.
"Well my Lord Avenor it seems your cousin is quite a resilient one.", Gorden Lorean soon said as he walked up to lead Ven to his seat.
"Mister Lorean wouldn't helping us get you in trouble too?", Ven soon said.
"Yes.. but to me the nobility are one of my main customers. I cannot let my own customers all get heralded off into prison cells to never be seen again!! This Empress Cirenia is a bitch of destroying good money!! For that I help and because I will get paid too!!", Gordan soon said money of course was his wife.
"But first Ven I think you need a change of clothes even if they look good on you.", Esmeralda soon said.
Soon as Ven finished dressing into normal attire Ven he then gave his story on what happened with Empress Cirenia noting how she acted weird especially about the blood part. As they all disgest what was going on Ven felt a bit weird thought walking would do him good and left the room. As he was walking down a hall way a bit only to see the silver haired woman from before in the cell to his right.
"Your more troublesome then I thought.", the woman said.
"Err excuse me?", Ven managed to ask the woman.
"You heard me troublesome and an idiot.", the woman soon said.
"Hey that is not fair and what makes you say that?!!", Ven soon wanted an answer.
"Well first off instead of escaping you wanted to go see the Empress to talk to her only didn't the way she acted didn't give you warning bells? As well from I hear you are reckless and have no sense if any at all. What kind of noble are you?!", the woman soon yelled.
"Err the kind which is not rude and you know you haven't even given me your name.", Ven pointed out the obvious.
"Ha!! You're right on one account, fine... my name is Countess Zelesia Ashburn, of House Ashburn.", Zelesia soon replied.
"House Ashburn... wait I remember that House I believe I meet one of your House once when she was the knight-bearer of my elder... brother...", Ven soon said just realizing that his brother died not too long ago and still recent.
"Yes... my elder sister is still is even if he is dead.", Zelesia soon said revealing herself as one of Aurlia's oldest Noble Houses of the old Star Kingdom of Aurlia.
A House that always was that birth many Knights in protecting its realm and especially the old royal family of House Aurlia.
"So how did you come about being here?", Ven soon asked.
"That I am not sure I was on assignment til I was knocked out and woke up in a cell. Well regardless since two Avenor's are here that means my job just got worse. I will hate to say this... but I Countess Zelesia Ashburn hereby pledge myself to your protection until time we arrive back to Aurlia. I will bear all the burden of war and will not let an hair on your stupid little face get thorn because I am seriously thinking in doing it myself to you.", Zelesia soon said with a stern voice.
'Oh boy... I think we got someone who wants to strangle me... oh another beautiful woman doing to me isn't bad... oh NO VEN DO NOT GET THOSE THOUGHTS EVEN IF IT ALWAYS HAPPENS!! On that thought that whole blood at my lips from Cirenia wasn't that bad too- ERR VEN STOP IT NOW!!'
"I see...and I guess I Marquis Ven Avenor accept your uhh pledge and oath in my safety... please take care of me and don't kill me!!", Ven managed to say only a laugh to crackle.
"Eh?", both of them said.
"My my... pledge to take his burdens in war and protect him? Isn't that cute.", Esmeralda said as she heard their conversation.
"Esmeralda?!! I can explain this is... an an Aurlian custom when someone form the knightly orders of Aurlia do when they have to protect someone from the main Noble family of Aurlia!!", Ven managed to stammer out of his mouth.
"That maybe...", Esmeralda said with her snake like eyes then walks toward Zelesia, "But I won't let you harm a hair on my Ven if you do I will have to destroy you."
"Ah Countess Darcy the whore of the Darcys it is good to see you again... and don't worry I will not let him be harmed.. maybe if you just never get involved with Ven might be better.", Zelesia said with a bit of anger.
"Go Go Zelesia do not waver gooo!!", Alexis soon said from her terminal within Zelesia's pocket.
"Ah the new next generation Supercomputer program I heard about that to set to become standard within the entire Aurlian military for support AIs. Program Alexis I believe.", Esmeralda said still looking as both women were fighting over Ven like he was a sag of meat.
'What the hell is going on here?!!'
As both women were about to clash a voice in the intercom sounded.
'Everyone please get to the meeting room its an emergency.'
"Well looks like you got saved by the bell eh Ashburn.", Esmeralda soon said.
"Same can be about you Darcy.", Zelesia managed to reply.
"Come on Ven let us go back!!", Esmeralda said as she grabbed Ven's arm.
"No no get away from that whore of a woman.", Zelesia said as she tried to shove her off him.
"Now Ashburn...", Esmeralda was saying only for Ven saying, "There is no time for this let's just head back into the meeting room please!!"
Soon both women fought over Ven as they returned back to the meeting room.

(The Darkest Day Part III)
"So as you all know its impossible to get out of here the conventional way. I barely managed to get HERE to begin with was hard enough but only way through is with this plan.", Jin Avenor said to the group in the meeting room.
Soon the door opened to reveal Ven, Esmeralda, and Zelesia. To anyone who is looking it was looking like a war between two women and Ben who saw this simply face palmed.
'Damn that Zelesia I never thought she would act like this the frontier must of killed her brain.'
"*cough* Ven please not goofing off.", Jin soon said.
"Err Jin?!! How the hell did you get here!!", Ven soon asked with Jin then replying, "I got my ways. Now the plan should work if no fuck ups happen but I am not sure how the Andraste will do it."
"Andraste? They finally finished it?!!", Ven asked knowing full well he was originally set to be its first officer originally.
"Yes about two weeks ago, as well due to the light of whats going on uncle ken has enacted the emergency war time powers temporarily to begin mass production of the next generation Star Cruisers as well the regular fleet upgrades pushing the original time table of the last two years of the Rearmament plan into three months.", Jin informed everyone.
"That is kinda of quick to do that the cost would be higher now then it would of been if we took 2 years.", Ven soon said.
"I know I am blunt cousin but how long more before we get off this fucking rock?", Ben asked.
"That is easy Ben with the modifications i request Mister Lorean to do to the transport... in about four hours? That is if Andraste manages to figure out to beat the blockade of he Imperial Navy that has been placed two hours ago.", Jin soon said.
"Ya... I hope Lurescia is ok...", Ven soon muttered to himself about his sister since she IS apart of the Imperial Navy.
"Alright you all heard people the modifications will be done in time in the meantime everyone be ready to go especially you EIRC Doctors and your group of scientists you brought.", Gordan Lorean soon said to the Doctor Luka and Doctor Elizabeth who both nodded.
As the passed hours hours passed as everyone was getting ready to be strapped in the different seats of the transport.
"Thank you Mister Lorean for well for everything Ven managed to say.", Ven said to the man.
"Do not worry just remember I need payments if you will you can do it when all this mess blows over of course there will be interest!!", Gordon soon said with a smile.
"Of course there is always interest in business now..", Ven was saying only an explosion rocked the hanger.
"Freeze now wanted criminals!!", one of the Aerial SWAT officer said as they charged in tiring at the different people within the hangar.
"Fucken hell the cops!! Get out of here now Avenor!!", Gordon said as he picked up a Gauss rifle.
"Mister Lorean!!", Ven managed to say only to be dragged away by Zelesia.
"Come on now there is no time!!", Zelesia said as they entered the transport which the door closed.
"Everyone here?!! Well damn good I am your pilot today Jin Avenor and I do not want you all crying when this baby flies like a bird going at mach 3!!", Jin said at the pilot seat.
"Uhh is he always like this?", Doctor Elizabeth asked Ben who was to her left.
"Err usually but he tends to be extremely crazy when piloting a ships and a bit reckless. One time he flew a corvette at full speed into an asteroid belt... almost died if I remember...", Ben replied with a laugh.
"Hehehe... we are going to die..."m, Eliazbeth soon cried.
Esmeralda was already in her seat with Felicia next to her with two seats for Zelesia and Ven next to it.
"But Mister Lorean!!", Ven managed to say with Zelesia man handling into his seat.
"There is no time Ven now seat and be a good boy.", Zelesia soon said as she strapped him into his seat with her soon taking her seat next to him.
"Oh don't listen to her be a naughty boy...", Esmerald encouraged.
"Shut the fuck up Whore.", Zelesia soon said.
"Oh you shut up you tramp!!", Esmeralda replied.
"My lady I believe it is not the time to argue." Felicia soon added from her seat.
"Oh your right... maybe later..", Esmeralda replied.
"Alright counting down!!", Jin soon yelled.
(Elsewhere)
"Acting Captain Luminous we are ready, though I still have my doubts.", Nicky soon said from her first officer seat.
"Oh sister don't worry Gilroy knows what he is doing!!", Vicky soon chimed in as the head of communications and science stations.
"But Vicky we lost a quarter of the crew and the entire Andraste Next Generation Task Force from that attack from that unknown cloaked ship!! We are not at fighting strength to take on the Imperial Navy!!", Nicky soon said.
"That maybe but their only expecting people leaving not entering.... especially an unplanned one.", Gilroy said from the Captain's Chair.
"If Star Commander Kane Raze hears about this...", Nicky was saying with Gilroy saying, "He wont he is still in the infirmary unable to say shit. We are going to do it and going to save Ven from being an prisoner of the Empire. Its at least that is much we owe him since this seat was suppose to be his to begin with!!"
"I hope your right... this is going to tricky..", Nicky soon said.
"Don't worry we have a battery pack for emergency jump as soon as we get Ven on board.
"Alright Helmsmen begin the jump!!", Gilroy ordered.
At the same time both Jin and Vickey soon began the countdown.
"Jumping in 10."
"Launching in 10."
"9."
"8."
"7."
"6."
"5."
"4."
"3."
"2."
"1."
"Jump!!"
"Launch!!"
As soon as the transport flew out into the sky Ven noticed the sun hit their eyes but continued into the sky multiple Police Air Interceptors were soon on their tail as they continued to fly in escape.
Jin maneuvered the transport in expert ease being an fighter pilot genius of the Avenor family. As they continue to fly even as loud speakers of the police shouting 'Surrender now, or we will shoot you now!!'
As they continued skyward soon suddenly a large ship appeared out of an FTL jump right into atmosphere of Eschelon. Anyone who is watching which is the entire population would be shocked at such an dangerous and practically impossible maneuver happened.
(Inside Andraste)
Alarms blared as an jump into the atmosphere was considered both against the rules of flying ships but as well sudden space into gravitational force is not the right thing to do. Everyone was in their seats as the ship shook heavily being pushed to its limit and soon red alerts sounded that the Imperial navy cruisers were heading their way now they just came unannounced into the capital of The Empire.
"Fucking hell I only wanted to jump at the orbit not into the fucking stratosphere!! This is why the Alexis OS needed to be finished before we we went on our first voyage!!", Gilroy complained.
the Andraste continued to plummet with its engines being pushed upwards hoping to slow its descent but it being not fully ready yet meant it needed a few modifications to its engines. As the ship continued to fall soon a shot appeared that showed Jin Avenor's IFO signal which meant they were heading directly towards Andraste.
"Quickly open the shuttle bay and active the emergency landing nets!!", Gilroy ordered.
As Jin and the rest where on the ship holding tight Jin soon whistled then comments, "I knew I was crazy but Gilroy is more crazier to attempt that especially the chance of that is a million to one. Anyways brace yourselves we are landing fast and HARD!! WHEW!!!!~"
"What is this crazy shit!! Why me??! WHY?!!!", Elizabeth screamed out at Jin's maniacal laughter.
"See this is why I suggested we put Jin in a mental institute Ven SEE WHAT I MEAN!!", Ben yelled at Ven who was behind them.
"YES I CAN SEE NOW GAHH!!!!", Ven screamed out too as everyone yelled at their sudden landing into the Andraste going through almost all the safety netting. and crashing into the falling Andraste falling.
"Captain their inside the Andraste!!", Nicky reported.
"Good!! Now Jump!!", Gilroy ordered an emergency jump out of the capital.
(On an Imperial Warship Cruiser)
"Sir the unknown ship just appeared and jumped out of the capital region.", an officer reported.
"I could see that... but to risk such a feat no captain has ever done that ever before in the history of FTL jumping. Whoever they are they took an extreme risk and escaped I am impressed...", the man soon said.
"I can see that but they still escaped...", the officer soon reported.
"I know that contact Imperial Naval HQ we have an unknown enemy ship. I want that ship be targeted and destroyed at all costs. Now get on moving.", the Admiral soon said.
"Fucking figures we get one single leak we cannot allow them escape!", the Admiral muttered.
(At Mister Lorean's Place)
"They escaped again..", Now acting Director Narburius Deen said as he walked on the battle that took place in Mister Lorean's Inc.
He looked at the many dead bodies then come up at an heavy breathing Mister Gordon Lorean on the floor bleeding to death.
"Well you look worse then ever Mister Lorean I am afraid your company is going to go under now.", Narburius soon said.
"Fuck off even if I die you won't get away with this massacre or anything you and the Imperials are planning.", Gordon managed to spat out spitting his blood at Narburius food.
"Well maybe one day but today marks the end of the Nobility of the Empire once they all been arrested no more they will be needed glory for the Empire and the Empress Cirenia The First.", Narburius soon said taking out his gauss gun and firing at the head of Gordon Lorean who soon died.
(In an cloaked Corvette in the orbit of Echelon)
"I see you took your time Anthony.", Earl Krutus
"I am sorry master I had a bit trouble you see it was extremely hard not to get noticed.", Anthony Augustus soon said.
"It matters not for now this situation was completely unexpected luckily we caught wind of it before it was too late Marquis James Gransela managed to escape in time as well. For now let us head back for sure this situation was completely unexpected. Still I am shocked at the antics of the Aurlians especially what they just pulled about 30 minutes ago.", Earl Krutus soon noted as he walked towards his cabin with Anthony in tow.
"Oh what did they do now?", Anthony soon asked.
"My just look for yourself even if the new Empress wanted the arrest of all the nobles kept secret cannot censor all information. As soon as it happened the FTL jump of the newly christened Andraste Class Andraste into the atmosphere and the jumping away itself is news. Its all over already across the Empire as well... Marquis Ven Avenor has been branded criminal of the state as well wishing for a dead or alive order to hunt him down for a murder of the Director of the Swords of the Emperor. Of course that is likely a lie as well.... at the rate things are going don't be surprised in the next few months an all out civil war will break out. We must remember especially if House Gransela and House Aduinliun wishes to be shown as heroes of the people against an tyrannical Empress.", Earl Krutus said smiling evily.
"Hrmm as you say Master things are progressing interesting indeed.", Anthony soon said.
'Maybe too fast Ven I do hope you get back to Aurlia in time because I will not be able to protect you this time...'
Soon the day of that will be called Black Day ended. Across the Empire the flames of war is about to spark and bring chaos that could bring mankind to its ruin.
