*The crowd is in the markets either outing their wears or buying them. As the priests in Black and Yellow and White give their blessings to the crowd. Though over a walkway bridge overseeing the bazaar a withered man under a hood and a staff.. He has a guide with him*
Old man: Blasphemers !!!!
*Everyone stops and watches the old man the indoctrinated continue...*
You accept these monsters of Shaitan into your home and into your minds.. They defile your land and corrupt the land of the Many.. the lands of your ancestors... The time of war is coming to this place, as are the winds of change. If you do not bow to the god of possibility you will be destroyed by the whirl wind..
*The old Preacher leaves a hand out and his guide takes it and guide him out of town.. as the Quartzite shout their curses and their attempts at countering the simple sermon..*
*Something breaks in Persi's eyes, and the expression freezes on his face. Almost like disapointment*
Persi: I can tell, seeming as most other cultures I've met bith try to assimilate others into theirs, rather then understand each other. Of course it's mostly ones fault...
*He turns to his Father*
Persi: If I may be excused. I just remembered that I promised to help one of my friends this day. His mother, more specifically...
*He gives his father a look that means, since his father isn't here anymore.*
*OOC: I missed it. Plus I had to try and understand the last part*
Terry: He was adopted wasn't he Valti...
Valti: Yes he was.. On a promise of looking after him.
Terry: My guess is that he doesn't feel for tradition as many do here in the tribes..
Valti: That is correct much to my shame.. and embarrassment.
Terry: I wouldn't be afraid of that my friend it will get better.
Valti: We haven't seen much intelligence from the outside worlds except the Elibisi...
*As Persi walks off, he eventually ends up out of sight. He sits on the ground, out of the way. He lays down and puts his hands behind his head*
Persi, muttering: Huhh, this is going to be difficult... He's obviously important, no man can become that sympathetic unless he was in a position of command during troubling times... He's also powerful, being able to resist the indocrination... *Sigh* How can I work this is get me off this hell hole?
Voice: What are muttering about now Persi?
Persi: You wouldn't be able to do something to get me off this horrble place, would you Loki?
*Persi rolls to his side and Loki was laying next to him, looking at him.*
Loki: You know I can only manifest myself as a hallucination this far. I can't do anything without moving my entire attention to you, and I've told you how i need to focus on Tara right now...
Persi: Why do you focus on her? Didn't she throw you out?
Loki: I've explained this to you, boy. She created me and I made a promise to protect her. For now you're on your own. Though this terry thing... I've heard of him, never been able to see him because of his own power, but if you want off this planet, make friends with him. He definitely has friends that will make it their mission to get him.
*Loki looks off to the side*
Loki, muttering: Or he might just destroy all of this planet in a fit of rage...
Persi: What was that?
Loki: Nothing kid. You want the news?
Persi: Of course!
*Loki then informs him about everything going on, the fight with Mira, Cade's predicament, and the Vigilante. Soon Loki leaves Persi on the hill, alone*
Persi, whisper: What I wouldn't give to be there...
*Persi returns home*
OOC: And now we have an explaination of why he hates the traditions. He wouldn't know any better if it wasn't for the outside force of Loki. Also, Loki found him during the Interregnum, as I call it, where Loki was discovering himself as a twilight being. What drew him to Persi, I have no idea. I still need to figure that out...

*OOC: I think you might be surprised at how much they are going to grow... Though any takers to be the High Priest? I figured I should show Indoctrination and have them about. Kinda wanted that in the Milky Way as far as espionage went.. *
*Pegasus Prime, Hood's Landing. Emma is running through the alleyways.*
Emma: Wait!
*She's chasing after someone, as she chases him to a dead end.*
Harry, please! I just wanna talk to you!
*Harry leaps and cries out in agony as the cords in his arm are still present.. and he flees as the suit allows him to move faster than she can... He saw her heart... another in there. *
Harry: Doug is not right.. He isn't... Never.. Not about her.. How am I going to deal with him..
*He makes it to a bunker out of the way and his Brother is there disappointed but not with Harry..*
Doug: I was wondering when you would get back..
Harry: Doug.. help me..
*He sees his brother's arm...*
Doug: Those B*****s They maimed you... Did that Cowboy do this to you...
Harry: No... but his friends did..
Doug: I can still help you get Emma back.. do you want to listen to your brother now that there is competition..
Harry: Yes... *he grips the wounded artificial arm stump.. *

*The Preacher stands on the worm, his hand on his guide... his face is still concealed to keep the heat burns off... His guide is a good rider of the worm.. *
Guide: I heard of a prison break in the city a couple of days ago.. The free peoples recaptured their taken comrades and recovered an off worlder.. The reputation he has is that he is other worldly..
Preacher: So he has finally come..
Guide: Truly you don't think..
Preacher: It doesn't matter what I think and it hasn't for over twenty years. If ever.
*He clutches the upper right part of his chest scratching an itch revealing an old broken down insignia.. from an old uniform. *
How much longer til we reach the sietch... I must see this young off worlder..
Guide: It will be arranged..
Preacher: Thank you Garran Furan..
Garran: No thank you Preacher.
*They continue to ride forth deeper into the desert.. *
Ooc: wasn't on much I know. Not a whole lot on my end going on yet. But once we leave the milky way that's when I'm going to have alot going on in Virgo basically going to have a very long civil war to keep me busy and happy lol.
" Now the gate has been unlatched headstones pushed aside; corpses shift and offer room ,a fate you must abide."
*The meeting room in the sietch Silger is organizing his band to perform raids on the Quartzite gatherers and military escorts..*
Silger: The incoming band is large but if does get to close to this Sietch... we will be destroyed by the larger force.
Terry: *Looking at the map.. * How about bait.. using the patch that recently exploded to the surface and we are still collecting..
Valti: What are you getting at?
Terry: We lull them to a false patch and conceal the real one and the area for a bit longer.. That extra time will give us the oppurtunity to move and prepare.
Silger: Then how do you propose we attack this force..
Terry: Its simple guerrilla warfare. We use the terrain to our advantage.. and the desert.. if anything else fails we can use the worms.. to cover our tracks.
Silger: That is daring but possible given these cliffs here..
*Pointing to the Rock Formations.. *
But our weapons are not very many and we don't exactly know how to take down a personnel carrier.
Terry: Its simple if we get the drop on them and use our heavier weapons to take out their engines and when we finish we leave it to the worms to clean up.. no mess and no one asking questions.
Silger: Anyone reject this plan..
*No one refuses it *
Silger: Then we head out.. and prepare. Have our scouts conceal the real patch and create a false one by those cliffs and ready the thumpers.
Valti: Yes Naib..
*As the men and few women break out Silger approaches Terry...*
Silger: I must ask how do you know so much about warfare?
Terry: History of the larger galaxy and the history of my people. Despite our peaceful intentions now we were very warlike and its something even today we never really got away from.
Silger: One has to at times defend against the ... oh what is the term..
Terry: Wolves.
Silger: Right.. I have to be careful ..
Terry: Why is that..?
Silger: If things go well and we become more successful some will want you to call me out to fight..
Terry: I did not know that. Is that how others become Naib..
Silger: It is our way..
Terry: I will keep that in mind Silger.
*Sia gives him that look of pride and returns to her preparations.. *
Silger: She fancies you..
Terry: I know.. But I already promised myself to someone and I won't break that vow.
Silger: You are being looked for by your people right?
Terry: Yes..
Silger: Will they help us?
Terry: It is possible but we do have laws that prevent even them and myself from intervening in this war.
Silger: non interference ?
Terry: Yes that is the assumption we make when we think a race doesn't have warp capability..
Silger: Space travel..
Terry: Yes.
Silger: After this I will inform you of some of our secrets that our Forefathers and the gods left us.
Terry: What?
Silger: Just wait..
Terry: So that is why they stayed... it makes sense..
Silger: What does..
Terry: Their behavior suggests they do not engage non spacefaring races or civilizations.. But they have been attacking you for some time.. That means this is where they came through.. and why they haven't left.. But what is here.. But this changes things. If you have technology that means this is actually something we can help with..
Silger: That sounds good.
Terry: Your right we have to discuss this later. We need more time to formulate a plan and a form of war.
