Retribution: Sarah's Story

[Leo]

Three Years Later

"-and our numbers have increased ten fold." I said finishing my speach. The new commander, Leo, sat across from me. He rarely ever smiled, and had a disturbing cold about him. They said he was experemental and was the strongest out of all of us, which only irritated Takashi to my right. Leo and Takashi never liked each other. Ever. More than countless times Takashi challanged him in the past days and each time Leo struck him down so severely that Takashi had to be taken to get resequenced. Leo never smiled, never even laughed at Takashi's attempts, he simply put him down and into the ground and walked away.

"Very good Sarah." said the General with a snide smile. "Soon all of Sirius will be in our grasp, just as it should be. Leo, your turn to report your stats."

Leo rose and almost glided over to the podium, he stood there facing all of us, his eye illuminated blue as they always were. He looked around the room for a second and stopped on mine, digging into my soul and resolve, I cleared my throat and I could have sworn I saw a hint of a smile on his lips, but not one of laughter...one of desire.

"Black Company has captured another foolish ship stupid enough to cross in our ships path. The resistance was killed easily and all uncompatable members had their hearts and brains ripped from their bodies and taken to the research labs. The women were taken to the fertilization chambers and had their reproductive organs removed, and they too had their hearts and brains ripped from their weak bodies and those too taken to the research labs." Leo said smiling all the while. "Black Company has a 130% increase in research and fertilization research for our future studies on the Nomad DNA reproduction along with human DNA. We are moving along nicely."

Leo turned, his smile fading almost immediately and glided back to his seat where he sat down and stared at Sarah for a moment longer, and back to the head of the table where the General said.

"You're one sadastic son of a bitch Leo." he said with a smile.

"I take that as high praise, General." Leo said with out the slightest hint of emotion or gratitude.

"That is all commanders, we will discuss more next month. You are dismissed."
