The surface, which had once been considered relatively stable, was now shaken by periodic earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. They ejected streams of hot magma, thick plumes of ash and deadly gases, plunging the planet into an endless volcanic winter.
A recently arrested agent of the Order could see for himself the harsh conditions of the planet during entry into the atmosphere, whose turbulence was an extremely annoying factor.
In addition to turbulence during entry into the atmosphere, agent could noticed that all communication channels were blocked, and the navigation systems were out of order. At the same moment, Coalition escort ships emerged from the ash clouds, ready to escort the intruder and prevent his escape.
Coalition fighters tightly surrounded Order ship, completely eliminating possibility of escape. Most of the way squadron stayed above the clouds, hiding the view of planet's surface from the prisoner. Gradually, ships began to descend, plunging into a dark brown veil of ash. In this darkness, the human eye could only discern the blinking lights of the escorting fighters.
When squadron reached a sufficient height, ground platforms became visible. According to established protocol, the agent's ship had to land on a specially designated area, which was illuminated by signal lights. As soon as the ship touched the metal surface, armed soldiers appeared from their shelters, instantly surrounding the landed ship.
"Order Agent! Turn off ship powercore and come out with your hands up!" the command rang out.
As Auren touches down on the now lit platform the HUD that is projected into his vision through the Neural Control System quickly flashes from list of green to red detailing hull armor integrity, power systems and other such data he ensures that all systems are to be in a non-active state. He then sighs and through gritting teeth groans in pain ripping out his ships Neural Link that was attached at the center of his back revealing a metal plate with a hole going presumably to Auren's upper spine. After the large spiked tipped cable retracts into the chair of his ship the short brown haired seven-foot man emerges from the ship hands over his head. With a serious look on his face he says, "Before anyone gets any ideas of tampering or salvaging my vessel there is one system I cannot turn off and if my ship notices anything missing or over analyzed it will detonate and kill us all I do not wish for any innocents to get caught in the crossfire so just leave it as is".Auren gets on his knees and awaits more orders from his captors.
The soldier who spoke through loudspeaker took a note about this information and was going to transfer it on to the specialists who would have tried to hack the ship's systems of this Agent's anyway. Who knows how much data he collected during his being in Omegas systems, what kind of data he collected, if there any signals that he manage to send? Many questions and answer on them soldiers could get from ship or from Agent itself.
Convoy team was already there to escort the Agent to his new quarters. Holding cell. When they approached the Agent, one of the team took out handcuffs and rest took aim at him. After the handcuffs were put on, same soldier began checking of Agent to find any weapon with him or any communication equipment and in general any things what he had right now. There was no need for a shootout plus the Agent had to be kept alive for interrogation.
While the soldier check the Agent's pockets, but also check arms, legs and whole body in general to find anything that was pinned to his body in reason if he try to carry something, he and the rest of the team in close distance could inspect the Agent for any special marks, injuries, or augmentations. But this most likely would not be the only check for the Agent.
After a standardized strip-down and search Auren was quite surprised that they didn't find or just plain ignored the surgical implants at the center of his back and decided to wait for the inevitable interrogation to explain himself. While looking dead calm on the outside his thoughts raced, but not on how to get out of this situation but how to ask for help with the current growing nomad situation that is right at their doorstep. Auren tried to speak but stopped for he did not know how actually secure this area is instead opting to wait for the proper interrogation room. The steady cold glances from his captors were a welcome sight, most individuals were either too afraid or want nothing to do with him due to his large size and being a living science project. Auren quietly listened to all commands given at sat motionlessly in his holding cell hoping that he would at least he would get someone of high rank to "squeeze" the information out of him. I hope we can work something out because we cannot do this alone anymore, we are spread far too thin...He thought this and sighed while looking forward with a blank expression.
They have found his implants but didn't give loud attention for it because better keep in short circle and for higher ranks. Soldier who check Agent later going to tell that information to commander but not for now. When the soldier searching Agent finished he show commander with gest to take a look and showed him where to find suspicious parts. Commander now was notified about it and said by himself: "Clear."
When check was end commander come in front of Agent and said. "This you can discuss later and not with me. Soldiers let's move." Soldier who search agent blindfold him after what commander turned and headed forward, while those who was behind of the formation took him by the arms and led forward, not giving a chance to slow down and pushing forward if he hesitate. They headed towards gates while the other soldiers on the platform watched this and returned to their duties of serving at their posts. There was an elevator when gates opened, entering which they went down to required level and reached the checkpoint leading to the prison block.
Auren breathed a sigh of relief, finally I get to talk to someone who can do something about this mess we are in. Do you have any idea how hard it is to just get arrested instead of being blown to pieces on sight? I will try my best to answer whatever questions you have for me we are on the same side after all believe it or not.
Commander look at Order agent and said with sarcasm in his voice while his pass was on check by control person: "Can't even imagine it.". After quick check doors to prison block opened and they went into it. Having entered in one of rooms, soldier take of blindfold from him and Agent could notice that on the wall there was a height around meter to which he was placed, as well as a table with a computer and cameras.
Commander approached table and sat at chair, opening the prisoner card template on computer. After few seconds cameras and lights, which was directed to wall with prisoner, turned on and probably could make him close yes for first second.
"Look in camera and answer on follow questions. What is your Name Surname, date of birth, call sign, rank, who your commander is and what squad you belong to." the commander said monotonously while the soldiers stood at the entrance.
Auren who was a bit dizzy from being suddenly un-bagged then blinded looked around the room as best he could but only saw the computer and camera he was told to look into. Overhead the faint buzz of white lights can be heard as he was prompted to give his identification to a less than enthusiastic man over the speaker system. Glancing over at the soldiers posted at the door and back at the camera he began to speak with a friendly smile,I am Major Auren Stalgrenn of the First Fleet or the Black Fleet which ever you prefer, and my call sign is Special Agent "A" for my personal vessel and for my warship The Showstopper. I was born 770 AS in Liberty, he pauses and looks to the ground for a moment thinking of anything else to say, Oh yes! No one ordered me to come here it's a bit of a long story, but it looks like we got time, do you mind if I could take a seat because this might take awhile?
"You will explain everything to different person and there is no need to take a seat, we will move out after photo. Now look in cameras, stand straight and still. When you heard signal, turn for profile picture." the commander said while bind data in template. Cameras was ready to make picture and all what need just press button on computer. When she was ready commander will press button couple times and add pictures to her card.
Soldiers talking about something between each other with whisper, probably about this strange and kind Agent, but it was hard to recognize what they whispering about.
