A Father, Lost

Erik nodded and motioned to pull Adrian from the group. Once they were a bit further from the group. "Here is what I do know at this time. He is a historian from Tharkad. He went missing a few months ago and was spotted here on world just last week. Both Lyran intelligence and the LAAF have sent separate teams to recover him. If they want him, than we want him. My source is sure that he holds critical information about what Tharkad plans to do next with this world."

Back at the group, Colonel Johns nodded as she turned to the group and brought her comlink up, "inform the over-watch that we will be departing for the capital city then returning to Wyvern Castle." She motioned Kimiko and her group to return to the transport, "Duchess, you know that General Macko and President McGray will see this as a slight against them."

Kimiko nodded, "yes I do" she said as she started to walk towards the transport. "General Macko has been like a father to me. One of my father's own studies. But he has no legitimate claim to rule this world. Like my father, he gave his oath to New Earth. President McGray is the elected leader of New Earth, but he has lost the support of the military. A military my father created. Without that support, how can he lead." She paused and turned to Colonel Johns, "Please send word to Star Colonel Weaver that I would like to meet with her at Wyvern Castle." Colonel Johns nodded as Kimiko turned and continued to walk towards the transport.

Kimiko allowed the others to trail behind her as she spoke to Jake, "Star Colonel Weaver is the key. If General Macko decides to press his numbers, her elite Clan Mountain Eagle will prove critical." She turned to him with concern in her eyes. "My father was a strong man who knew how to work with people. I don't know if I have such abilities. I fear that my world is on the path for Civil War, and I don't know if I can stop it or win."
