A Father, Lost

[Akirapryde]

Suki leaned over and whispered to Adrian, "I recognize some of the names but others I don't. Who or what is the Blakist?"

Kimiko continued to listen before asking, "it makes no sense. Why would Aziz come to my father for help. We weren't involved in the internal affairs of Comstar. None of this makes any sense."

Colonel Jones nodded, "I understand that this doesn't make sense. But as you learn more of your father's secrets it will. For now I will just say, in fifty seven Aziz came to your father and demanded his support for her cause. You do have to realize that when you left New Earth for Luthien, you took your father's strength with you. He retired to his library and hardly left."

She looked down and let out a deep sigh, "when Aziz showed up, your father was a mere shadow of the man that he once was. We, of the Brigade, made the call in support of your father's vision. We refused to support Aziz and her cause. A week later, the blakist attacked us."
