Falling Apart

827-06-09: Planet Veracruz - Insurgency World, Vespucci

---

The Harmony had arrived in Vespucci together with the entire fleet of Insurgency aligned ships. It was anticipated to encounter no resistance as the Commonwealth aligned forces were severely outnumbered. And yet they were greeted with gunfire. Some wreckage indicated infighting and when their ships started to turn their weaponry toward her fleet, she gave the order. It felt harsh, wrong but there was no other choice. The Commonwealth fell before its own military in disgusting irony she would struggle with for the following months.

As the Insurgency forces began to secure the area, she was being brought onto the planet. The Legions headquarters locally already secured by her own personnel. Plans were made, responsibilities defined, reports given. There would be many weeks of meetings and talks that she didn't look forward to. Though eventually she was driven to her new home. Workers were just done cleaning up and repairing. What exactly happened there she wasn't told and she wouldn't ask.

It appeared to be the house of a former Commonwealth official. It was way too big for her tastes, though in the meantime someone had decided that this was a requirement. Once she was familiar with it she stood on the balcony overlooking the plains of the fledgeling colony. And for the first time in four years she allowed herself to break down. Standing there, holding onto the railing cursing their fate quietly but also feeling relieved, standing on actual ground, in relative safety for her people. And just like that things didn't seem to be falling apart anymore.
