Chapter 114: Dossier

The next day rolled around and a vehicle had come to pick Kathrine and Caleb and myself up. Caleb only got back two hours ago and looked rough. "By the Empire Caleb, we are on mission. Why did you stay out all night getting high and drunk!" Kathrine scolded the man rubbing his temples.

"Shhhhh." Caleb winced. "No need for that Lady, Its not my fault they dragged me from place to place. And that orgy, let me tell you, these government officials are close thats for sure. Going to be farting whispers for a week thats a truth for you."

"Ok Caleb, thats disgusting. Not another word out of you for the rest of the day." Kathrine admonished, getting a nod of approval from the man in question. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

We arrived after a short flight to a building shaped like a heptagon it was only 3 stories tall but horizontally went on for a half a mile on each side of the building. Once we landed, we were greeted by security staff who asked me to hand over my weapons to which I declined. As a result I decided it was best for Kathrine and Caleb to go to their meeting alone.

I did not mind giving up my minigun, but I would not give up Zircon, She is like my baby with how much attention I give to her. Zircon felt my thoughts through the bondage link and decided to start shaking in her scabbard.

I spent half an hour stroking the pommel of Zircon until she had settled, unknowingly making the nearby security guard who denied me entrance earlier extremely nervous.

Hours and hours went by and unlike yesterday in the club, I did not mind waiting out here. The planets people were coming and going about their lives. Some would stare and take pictures, which I did not mind. While others saw me and decided it would be a good idea to walk another half mile to a different entrance to the building which made me chuckle when I saw it.

My favourite part of waiting outside though was staring up at the planets sky. Where we landed last night, it was dark out and I did not get to witness it, but this planets oceans have a more emerald green tint to its water and it reflected beautifully in the sky while the sun bathed the city in its glow.

The meeting Kathrine was in took so long that I physically watched the sun move across the horizon until late evening. I was in a zen place that I had not realised Kathrine had left the building and was now standing in front of me until she waved her hand in front of my visor.

"Oh sorry, was totally zoned out there Kat." I said upon realising. "No I am the one who should be apologising Apollo, I did not expect to be in that meeting so long, were you bored all on your own?" Kathrine asked feeling genuinely terrible. "No, Where I grew up, there was a lot of downtime. I had no technology or anything like that to keep myself entertained.

I trained with Orchid and my Adoptive mother whenever I was able, and when I was exhausted I had to just sit there to pass the time. I am so good at it now I could sit still for days if needed. Enough about my boring past, I take it the long talks went well?"

Kathrine and I began walking as soon as I asked that. Caleb had ditched Kathrine as soon as the meeting was done as he 'had a date.' "Oh yes, the meeting went better than I Expected. It turns out your stunt has put a bit of pressure on the traitors. They think you are special forces and Spartari has more of these power armours.

So to appease us they over compensated to prove they were still neutral and gave us extra digging equipment for our survey."

I chuckled at Kathrine's information. "Maybe if I break a few more hands we could get even more equipment." Kathrine laughed at the joke and was about to respond before she was swept of her feet.

Confused she looked up at me as I cradled her in one hand while Zircon was in the other aimed towards a nearby building. "Apollo, what's wrong?" Kathrine asked. I did not respond. She was safe behind my body as I continued to point at the building.

I stayed dead still for 5 minutes until the feeling of danger dissipated. I was drawing looks from passer byes, but I did not care. Once I knew for sure the danger was gone I relaxed my arm holding Zircon and looked back at Kathrine. "Sorry about that kat, I had a bad premonition and did what I thought best."

Kathrine now realising there was no danger, calmly asked me to put her down. "It is quite ok Apollo, it is your job on this mission to protect me after all. Come lets get back to the ship, it has been a long day." I had no argument with that as I too shared the sentiment.

All the way back, there was no incident and I began to think maybe I was being over paranoid. But being over paranoid is being better than potential death so I was fine with that.

Meanwhile on a satellite orbiting Alexandria, Rekosh made his way to his master chambers with haste. Upon arriving, he knocked on with more haste than usual. "Enter." He Heard from the other side.

"My Seer." He said with respect as he approached the centre of the room. "Rekosh, what has you so worked up? What a mystery, its been so long since I have been surprised." Aeletha spoke with a slight giddiness. "My lady, our two Qen spies on the surface that were tailing the red headed lady were compromised by her bodyguard."

Aeletha's giddiness vanished, replaced by the severity of the situation. "Were they exposed?

Do the mercenaries know they are not humans?" "No my Seer, the woman and her bodyguard were walking along a path as the two were watching on through telescopic sights then the mercenary grabbed the red head blocking any lines of sight while also raising his sword directly at where the two spies were located."

Aeletha eyebrows raised slightly at the information. "Rekosh go and fetch the information we have on this man in Armour and bring it to me at once." "Yes my seer." Rekosh said and left immediately.

Aeletha was curious as she got up to make herself a tea. Qen are highly effective spies as their patented camouflage technology is superior to any in the Coalition. On top of the fact while in their combat suits, they could easily pass as short human adults.

Once she poured her tea, Aeletha took a sip before walking back to her chair and sat down. Just as Rekosh re entered the room. "Here my seer, I apologies personally for the lack of information."

Aeletha was handed the dossier and was surprised to find it so light. Flipping it open, Aeletha began to pour her Psionic energy into the room just in front of her making Rekosh gulp in nervousness. "Name: Apollo. last name: Unknown. Affiliation: Kathrin Hyllus." Aeletha thought a moment. So the man is not apart of the mercenaries brought alongside her...

Potentially Private hire." "My spies suggested possible special Spartari forces. We have never encountered a power armour like the type he is wearing and could be a prototype of something similar." Rekosh interrupted his masters outward thinking.

"Possibly, possibly. Interrupt me again and you will lose your strength understood?" Aeletha threatened as Rekosh covered his privates. Aeletha continued reading the report. "Two incidents already, accidental breakage of secret service hand and stuck with considerable force by a human with metal implants with no reaction. Hmmm"

Aeletha began to stroke her right horn a moment before asking. "Rekosh, do we have a picture of this armour the man was wearing?" Rekosh was not sure how the Seer could see things considering she was currently blind now, but adjusted the papers on the desk until the picture was directly in front of her.

He was thankful she dissipated her Psionic energy before otherwise he would have felt more sick than he currently was.

Aeletha limbered up her neck and shoulders for a moment before expelling her energy once more. Her energy encapsulated the picture and in her shock Her vision came back for a moment. Thousands of images flashed across her eyes in a moment. Too many for even her to make sense of.

"MMmh!"

She moaned in pleasure at the feeling her vision gave . The armour, purple hair, bodies entwined. But she also felt dread. Death, horror mutilation devouring. The future, her future revolved around the strange armoured man on the planet below.

She was about to use her energy one more to linger again before she realised something. "Rekosh, If your strength is aroused in my presence, I suggest you leave this moment."

"A-at once my Seer." Rekosh said as he sprinted out of the room, afraid for his lower best friend.
