((Rom? Did you mean to call out Captain Ardos?))
**Sangheilios Surface, refugee camp**
The soldiers, after whispering quietly between each other, nodded in agreement. Then the designated leader spoke. "We would be relieved and grateful for any assistance your leaders are willing to give." His beaming smile faded slowly, as he spoke. "Our kind...those that break away from Great Leader...we are hunted by a horrible, viscous madman. He is given full pardon and immunity by Great Leader, so that he may 'reclaim' us. This madman is a notorious pirate named Ardos." He loosed up at the Sangheili, obviously wracked with fear. "Please do not let this monster take us."
(Sorry. Meant to call on the person with Ado aboard the
Ardent.)

"I see," the Sangheili Major said. "This will warrant Kaidon 'Vadam's attention - but to be honest, we, as well, are under fire from other matters. If I am authorized, I will personally oversee security here. That being said, you can expect to see Sangheili personnel and vehicles heading this way in the next few days. If we need to, we can call in additional support from the local UNSC Garrison here."
*** New Romulus ***
"Then you're fortunate; the Brotherhood is a clandestine military group with a lineage that traces back to the Russian KGB and Spetsnaz Commandos of 21st-century Earth, in UNSC Space," D'Tan explained. "We don't know how they ended up in Romulan Space, but they've been giving our convoys - military and civilian - no end of trouble. To make matters worse, they've also stolen military-grade weapons and starships - mostly the older models like the T'Liss and T'Varo warbirds. They're just a band of raiders, as far as I'm concerned, so deal with them appropriately. Any questions?"
*** Outer Space, En Route to Unspecified Location ***
The two D'Derridex Warbirds continued leading the Leviathans' ship to an unspecified location, carefully navigating through a series of nebulae and asteroid fields, all giving off strange readings and preventing any form of long-range communication. It would seem almost as if the Romulans were leading them into a trap, but neither ship showed any signs of being prepared to raise shields or power weapons at a moment's notice.
*** Glacius, Orbit ***
"If the op is as dire as you imply," said a Mandalorian Snow Leopard, "You're gonna need air support and ground support."
*** Coruscanti Steakhouse, Coruscant ***
Kyle continued eating, and Hector chose the worst comment: "Amused observation: Master, I believe you and master Vasily would make an adorable couple." Kyle didn't make any comment, hiding his red-flushing face.
*** Indari Manor, Dragon'taan ***
"Well, we're not exactly going anywhere, Fawn," Kyle said, still waiting for the Wolf to explain the situation. "I'm on shore leave. If anything, I'll have General K'torr handle this."
*** Deep Jungle Bar&Grille, Tigaria ***
Skye frowned. "But... Thomas said you were Chief Quartermaster of the Dragon'taan Marauder Corps, on Dragon'taan... aren't you?"
