Reminiscing

[Greylock]

"To unexpected friends indeed, and may our friendship continue beyond these trying times. Omicron Psi was just the tip of the iceberg. I've seen something that very few men have laid their eyes upon and lived to tell the tale. Their home, Solandros. I've seen their homeworld." Grey paused a moment to observe the concerned, yet curious look that Solandros gave him before he continued to speak. "I thought I'd seen it all, you know. Nomads assaulting Manhattan, the Frogs glassing Leeds, but the homeworld of the Nomads is something else. I know now, that my fight will never end. We can never hope to destroy those foul creatures once and for all. We can only hope to ensure that they do not become an overwhelming threat."

The look on Grey's face was that of someone who had years of pent up loss, fear and burning rage waiting to be released. "Know this, old friend; if the Order ever needs someone to command that Atlantis of yours, my axe is yours to command. Until such time, I'll keep putting the fear of mankind in the damned squids, one torpedo at a time. If I run out of torpedoes, well, I'll just have to improvise. Those squids will learn, one way or another, that karma is a bitch."

Grey finished the last of the whiskey in his glass and then spoke once more.
"Their reckoning approaches."
