Tides of Change

[Omicron]

Six hours after the incident
Unknown location

Several figures sat in half lit room with a table at its center. Cables and various pieces of equipment were laying about the ground, connecting makeshift assets that its denizens had required to work here. Several individuals were seated, some present only as holographic projection as they could not attend in person. One of them was Valkyrie, still wearing combat armor of an Order marine, still basted in dust of Akabat unrelenting wildlands. Most of them hardly looked more coherent: almost every single other individual present presented outfit from different sections that made up The Order. Research and Development, intelligence and Black Fleet were all represented in these nameless personas. Few of them Valkyrie knew, eyeing them with care as she did not understood their motives.

"Impressive work, Miss Valkyrie..." Bretonian voice spoke to her, rather impressed by her actions. Claidheamh as he called himself sounded honest to her ears, he hid not that he took an opportunity he might had not gotten otherwise. Nevertheless his interests aligned with survival of human race... "Testimony of Hoss gave us plenty of light on operations of the Legion. They had been beaten entirely within Order space thanks to efforts of us all." Claidheamh insisted it was victory, though they knew the price of it. The entire Admiralty board had been taken out of action, prompting the councillors to take steps towards re-establishing order. They were the Consuls, claiming to forge Overwatch anew according to original intentions of its forefathers.

"As I promised, I managed to get hold of information that you had requested... Inquisitor." Consul Curtana spoke with obvious pain in her voice - deeply affected by aftermatch of the coup more so than others - as new communication link established to their hide out. Another unknown face to Valkyrie, introduced as Consul Blackyfire. "It seems General Assembly is growing by the hour." Valkyrie commented, looking towards Consul Narsil who she knew was one of the first ones among here... suspiciously fast to her. "We are quite busy salvaging this mess... I got hold of medical records. Admiral Hunter was killed instantly... and Admiral Golanski suffered failure to his augmentations even when stabilized. Medics did what they could but these electronics are out of our area of expertese!" Blackfyre was one among them who went out to direct effort to restore semblance of normality, incidentally closest to facility that took victims of Crux's assault.

She was not the only outsider here. Watchtower initiative had their own man attend the meeting, as she was here on behalf of the Inquisitors. Respectively men and women of Admiral Hunter's and Golanski's... their personnal small armies bereft of their commanders in chief. She did not knew the man, neither did he had any credible intel on her: left hand doesn't know what right one does. He did raised some good points. "What about the prisoners? Their leader, dangerous as he is, also at large escaped our effort to capture him." Morghard deffinately left the Order space, neither hiding or counted amongst captured or dead. Nasril voiced his own suggestion "Kill them all. They have already proven their lack of loyalty. We wont have any use of them."

"As much as I am inclined to agree with you that no deed should remain unpunished, I do not believe that death should be dealth lightly. Gift of life can only be taken away, forever." Claidheamh spoke, with utmost seriousness and stern. "I am not a warrior like you or Valkyrie here present, true and thus I leave combat to those with not only the tenacity to carry out such atrocities but skill to perform such." He turned his sight towards the Inquisitor present, looking for something in her face. "Inquisitor Valkyrie. The Order lacks an officer to rally behind. As part of the covenant between the Convocation of Consuls and the Fleet we desire to offer you a certain proposition... you shall be among those who take Admiral's responsibilities for the time being. Then, you shall sentence the traitors and when it is done... you have to find and kill Inquisitor Morghart."

"Agreed, for so long you release Admiral Golanski into my care."
