*In a hideaway in Republic space, The Think Tank meets once again. *
Jamal: *Older now in the intervening years.* It seems one of our failures continues to hound the galaxy..
Fouler: We under estimated how strong of spirit Decanus of Borg was. But it is not of much concern.. we can defeat the Borg..
Jamal: So why should Skull clean up after you?
Skull: It doesn't matter sir. It is what I do best. But pay no matter to a problem that we can't deal with just yet. How about our support of the rebels?
B'tel: The rebels are easily stoked into doing what we want.. especially in providing what they need. The problem will be the chaotic UNSC...
Skull: A complication but given the current prominent member of Starfleet, they won't expand.
Jamal: What of our support to the current government of the Republic.. hmm?
*He looks to M.Dani.. sitting in the place reserved for her and the family she is technically part of.. Skull sits there intrigued by their counter part. *
M Dani: Why are you looking at me, exactly?
Jamal: Do you have anything to report from your end? How are your counter parts children?
M Dani: The two sons have been assigned to the U.S.S. Enterprise. The surrogate daughter is also there. The blood daughter is serving aboard a Republic Cruiser: the Columbia.

Jamal: What do you think of them? Anyone of the three able to be reasoned with, so an offer can be made? I am sure they are unaware of your ruse..
*Skull sits there watching the meeting.. as someone comes up to him.. Whispering in his ear..*
Skull: Very well. Excuse me gentlemen. I am required to attend to the project.
Serah: I'm going to be watching everyone. I'm not participating.
Tara M: Hey sis I gotta talk to you about something. *Tara M's hair color is now a darker shade to help differentiate between her and the other Tara's*
*The Arcadians move provocatively on the Republic Holo Grid towards a certain planet Jampos IX under the eye of Republic command, their scout is on the comm*
Scout: Republic Command.. This is Zulu 8.. We have movement from the Arcadians. They are advancing on Jampos IX, with two legions.
*Dalos Alpha Prime, Admiralty Building. Sam is called down and arrives 10 minutes later from the MoD, meeting the Naval Admiral in Chief, Admiral William Townsend.*
Sam: This isn't a good time, Admiral. The Senate's starting talks about impeachment.
Townsend: I think you'll agree this was worth coming down for.
*He shows her to the strategic map, showing the telemetry from Zulu-8.*
Sam: The Arcadians are moving.
Townsend: Two legions, bound for Jampos IX.
Sam: What do we know about Jampos IX?
Commander: Its only a small outpost with a mineral rich crystals down below on the planet. No indigenous population.. We know the Arcadians have participated in other conquests against other peoples as their troop numbers suggest they have tweaked their admission standards to worthy races.. So perhaps they are looking to hold the outpost and gain a beach head into our area of space?
Townsend: With the dilithium deposits on that planet, it would be very difficult to dislodge them once they secured the system.
Sam: So what do you need from me?
Townsend: Your permission to reinitiate hostilities with the Arcadians. The 3rd Omaha Squadron can get behind their lines and attack the troopships before they arrive.
Sam: Alright... But have them request formal authorisation from the President before they attack. I'll bring him up to speed. Admiral Trudan?
Trudan: Minister.
Sam: Send a division of marines to hold that planet. *Sam signs an order on her PADD before handing it to Townsend.* Take whatever defensive measures you think are needed.
*The tropical area is pretty large and there's a lot of wildlife running around. They're destination is at the other side across a river of lava. There's a large slanted metal door with two large console far from each other on opposite sides. The wildlife consists of strange horse like tiger creatures with eight eyes. And large spiderlike lizards. Anything smaller is hiding*
Serah: I'm going to be watching everyone. I'm not participating.
Tara M: Hey sis I gotta talk to you about something. *Tara M's hair color is now a darker shade to help differentiate between her and the other Tara's*
Serah: After what you did to me I don't think I'm going to be ready for a while for something like this.
Tara M: Why don't you have planetary defenses here?
Zoe: That's fair.
Tara A: Two reasons. One, we're so far off the fold-space network that the Republic would have plenty of time to respond to an attempted intruder. B, anyone stupid enough to attack us is gonna beam down to find a lot of angry twilight users.

*The two Legion force gains momentum as they gather closer to the system itself, however when the troops arrive they begin their formation assault on the outpost.
