“...For your actions, Hojin Ampa, I award you with a Golden Band on your right arm, to signify your wisdom and success in defense of the homeland.”
<span class="mu-b">”T-Thank you, your Majesty! But I was only doing my job.”</span>
“No no. Ever since I put on the <span class="mu-i">Mask of the Unspeakable</span>, this empire has been too full of spineless cowards to afraid to make a decision. I want this man treated to a housing class upgrade. And buy his wife some of the most exotic fabrics and spices from the HVS- sponged from my account, of course.”
Wow, a Golden Band! Nobody in the Ampa family has ever earned one of these before. You thought it was too far above your “station”, but looks like you got a chance to prove yourself...
You are back to being <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">Wrix Val</span></span> again, and you are currently dealing with the fallout of the Andoen attack.
The planet was attacked by a “Dark Ship”, some sort of Esaal stealth cruiser. Their original attack against the city was designed to take as many lives and do as much damage to the Hegemony's control center and administration there, but because of the early warning, almost no Jaxtian lives were lost. Andoen is your current staging-ground in your preparation for war against the Esaal, so if they got a good bombing run they could have killed hundreds, if not thousands of troops and civilians vital to the war effort.
But worst yet was the anti-personnel nature of this attack. The ship alone could only do so much damage- The <span class="mu-i">real</span> threat were the canisters and their payloads; which would kill any Jaxtian outside and destroy any native wildlife- if this planet had any. This attack was meant to kill as many people as possible, indiscriminately. This weird metal weapon the Esaal use is being cautiously named “Water Barbs” and is a new terror weapon that you have to be on the lookout for. Even a light dusting of the stuff can kill, and it can spread into water- both the ocean and rivers on Andoen are now polluted with microscopic barbs everywhere. Cleanup is going to be a real headache. The Esaal have just dropped this, and the surprise attack, directly on the doorstep of your empire.
What are you going to do about it?
