'Not really. They won't shoot me out of the air with lasers if I don't come back with my father -I hope-, so just a ship is good enough for me. Oh, maybe before I would go, can I see your master? I mean, if I want to make allies, I like to talk with the leader in person. And I mean in real-life if that's possible. If he really wants that I fight for him, I need to talk to him and make some plans and arrengements.'

"Im afraid that will not be possible, the Master is otherwise occupied at this time. As you can imagine in a time of a war of this magnitude, His time is highly valuable, and His responibilities are many. In time, it may be possible for you to speak with Him by comm, but at the immediate time He is busy with our consolidation of an Imperial enclave, Sollex. I would still feel better sending a splinter fleet with you ghost, for if what you say is true your race is highly vulnerable to Imperial attack, are you sure you wish to refuse an escort for them?" As he spoke Throk Mak Taur led ghost down a corridor of the ship, a small party of servitors following them. As he finished speaking, they stepped through the door into a hangar. It was a small hangar, and held only a few ships. There was a dropship similar to the one that had carried Alexin, two flared wings spacing forwards from the engines, and on cursory inspection ghost could see it was fitted with drop pods, but could also disembark passengers less violently. Atop the engines, two large laser turrets aimed dead ahead, and smaller versions appeared at regular intervals along the wings. All in all, he presumed it could carry forty or fifty of the servitors. Examining it further, he could see the ends of two additional turrets under the engines and main chassis, which looked to be gatling weapons, presumably for clearing out drop zones of infantry. Around the dropship, there were a series of fighters and bombers. Ghost could not see through the tinted glass, but the one fighter whose cockpit was open showed a smaller and lighter servitor strapped inside, held in place by wires and tubes which slotted into the modified flight armour. A larger, hulking figure with a variety of saws, lasers, spanners and other assorted mechanical arms hunched over it from a ladder, working on some minor damage in the cockpit. Seeing him look around Throk Mak Taur smiled. "Just a selection of our craft. This is a minor repair bay, which is why there is such a diverse array of patterns. However, our craft are highly individual, and even in a squadron no two will be alike, although squadrons are arranged by general patterns and weapon loadouts." A mechwright servitor bundled past them, clutching a large power core, and proceeded towards where several others were working on a bomber which had been laid open by a collision with an empire fighter, as evidenced by the servitors attempting to pull the imperial craft out of the bombers side. "I assure you however, although made chaotic by the ever increasing skills of our engineers, our units are very efficient."

'Well, such as you said, they are very vulnerable to enemy attacks, that's true, so if I would get a splinter fleet, I would like to keep them with my people to give them atleast a bit of protection. And I think that not only the Empire wants them. This is a perfect target for pirates, so I would like to get there as soon as possible. And I think I got a good plan to keep my people save. Do you have a chart somewhere here? Maybe there's a native planet were they can stay for a time. Else, is it possible for your engineers to make armed cargo ships? Cause the things they're flying in are also cargos. We didn't really had ships to transport large amount of people and there can be a shortage of food and water.'

Throk Mak Taur smiled. "Our engineers can turn anything into a warship, or at least render it capable of defending itself." Here he frowned. "I am unwilling to task the full splinter fleet to the defence of your people however. But you will be in command, within reason as I had said. I am sure none will complain if you were to carry out harassments with what military you have in conjunction with the main body of the splinter fleet, and leave a suitable defence with your civilians. I can also send you some of our most adv-" He coughed. "Skilled servitors to help train your populace. A militia will serve you well should you be attacked. As to charts, we can access some on the dropship here as we transfer to the flagship of the splinter fleet. The Agamemnon."

'Throk, stop thinking about my people in your army!'
I started to get mad as he only talks about training my people to fight
'They have lost everything! Or planet is destroyed! Thousands are killed!'
I felt my amulet glow.
'We are broken! I don't even think that most of them want to fight!
Energy filled my body
'Maybe will seek revenge but that's not much. Most of them are kids and woman! I don't want kids to fight in this war!
I cooled down a bit, most because the energy almost hurted
If we found something save, I will talk about war, but not now. Now, where is that chart. We have to begin as quick as possible.'

Throk Mak Taur glared at Ghost. "Ghost, your people have lost their planet. Their families. Their strength. My people stand to lose everything. Our planets. Our systems. Our empire. Our very lives. The empire seeks to burn us out root and branch. The way things stand now, that is a very real possibility. The Empire has some new strength. With it they are crushing worlds like your own in hours. They are expanding towards us at a great speed. And we Ghost, will not stand by. We are taking the fight to them. And We. Will. Win." He set his jaw, and spoke again. "Ghost I need friends and allies. I do not need to give a tenth of my fleet to babysit a convoy of refugees. I am willing to help you, but not at the cost of my own responsibilities. I can return you to your people, but if you will not fight with us, then I cannot help you. I do not have the resources. Your skills at infiltration could mean alot in this war. I suggested training your people because if you are attacked every being capable of hearing thunder, seeing lightning and firing a damn weapon in the direction of the enemy is worth their weight in gold. Not to put them on the frontlines. I am trying to help you in the ways available to me. But I cannot do so without a worthy return."

in the mean while my fleet who found the elven fugitives escorted them home to my planet.
when they landed doctors ran over they werent looking great some were underfed and sick
but apparently they were followed suddenly a huge armada came into orbit not elven or minotaur it started firing.
the fugitives were terriefied but my soldiers where prepared my ground defences started firing at the armada my fleet went up to orbit and engaged the enemie orders were given out so that my other fleet would return the one that encounterd alexin it would take them 10 hours to reach.
the armada launched infantery boats small vessels filled with troops everywhere u saw civillians run away and soldiers run towards them
gunfire was everywhere my fleet was loosing i orderd to send the fighters in the air and join the fight my ground defences kept firing at the armada but seemed to be inaffective.
i looked at eric i knodded at him waved some soldiers over and ran to the closest troop boat me and the soldiers lined up ,the boats door opend and we opend fire killing every man who came out heavy resistance was made our only hope was that our other fleet would return in time.and our neighbors those elves they were fighting alonside us with a glistening swiftness they liked to fight old fashion there swords shined in the ssun there armour glistend in the light blood coverd there armour and swords what was almost a shame
