The recording started revealing a typical figure in front of the lens. Though on this occasion she was sitting on the couch which appeared to have been dragged up to the observation deck of the carrier. The inky blackness of space and stars in the distance could be seen through the panoramic windows.

Amy on this occasion sat alone, her PDA almost catching the reflection of the device in the windows. She had a drink to hand also, which appeared to be a red wine of some description. The figure wasn't dawned in her armour this time, rather a casual attire featuring a black shirt and a coat thrown over top.

“You know. Heh. I would never have pictured my return to the Technocracy or the populated parts of Sirius to have transpired the way they have. It is almost a dream come true in many ways, though some dreams I had were sadly left to the void that is time itself.“

“It turns out the whole ambition of returning Warhammer to her former glory resulted in another dream coming true that I didn't even know I wanted.. or thought I could have, even. As I sat here I was thinking about Naomi and our little family. What we seem to have created for ourselves is testament to never giving up on the idea that is happiness. This was one I thought to be lost long ago, at least to me. Or maybe I gave up on it. Hmm...”

Amy closed her eyes for a moment and sipped more of the wine from her glass. Her eyes reopened to gaze back into the distance, clearly out of the window behind the camera. Then she reached forward, slowly placing the glass down on the floor, jostling the camera somewhat as she moved before returning herself to frame.

“We finally closed the final chapter of Naomi and her past. These syndicates of Kusari decided to contact me and I set a little trap. The vessel was disabled and we executed a boarding manoeuvre and secured two hostages. Little did we know at the time these are both relations to Naomi, her mother of all things, and a little sister!”

Her expression brightened for a moment, reliving the past events in her head.

“It was a text book execution. Disable the target, breach through the airlock and secure the ship deck by deck. I led the boarding team personally on this occasion, I wanted a look at the sick freak that has been staking my love all of this time. This was the bastard I went hunting for in New Tokyo. If you want something stupid to turn up, just open a communication line and feed them bait, as it turns out. This fool thought he could engage in the dance of death with me and come out on top. Fool.”

She huffed in a disgusted way. Her expression soured in that moment, clearly still thinking about the events of that encounter. Though before she finally spoke, her tone shifted to one hostility, a darkness lingered on each following word. There was a burning hatred in her voice.

“I have yet to decide what I shall do with the man. He’s locked away in the brig downstairs and Naomi has since had her pound of flesh with him. I suppose I could just disappear the man and nobody would be any the wiser.. Though, I wonder if perhaps we can utilise this guy for other purposes. We shall see, I am in just the kind of dark and vindictive mood where there is really no limit to the possibilities. Could also just shoot him and send his worthless corpse floating out of the airlock. "

Amy leant forward so that her face was the only thing within the frame of the camera. Her expression was suddenly cold, emotionless. A hint of almost unhinged tendencies began to bleed through in what she now said.

“His demise will send a message, you are not untouchable. No matter how many connections, credits or people you have. I will get to you, somehow, one way or another. I’ll be there, in the shadows, I will be darkness itself. Waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Once I make my move, I’ll be relentless, lethal. Then vanish, leaving a trail of demise and destruction behind me. I will hunt those seeking those I care about and cut down anybody in my way. After all.. I am Vengeance. ”

The figure blinked, the recording abruptly ended with the usual signature

Recording Terminated.
