The bio-bots, in the shape and appearance of the Leraay, lay defeated in the fake spaceship corridor. You can't fault the director of combat simulations- this did feel <span class="mu-i">very</span> real. It's just a step away from real hologram technology. You do feel a little awkward for them pulling out all the stops for your little session.
<span class="mu-b">”...You may not be a dueling master the likes of Eoba, or myself- I can tell you have only mastered a single weapon, when true warriors have many. Still, good work.”</span>
<span class="mu-g">”Ahh, thank you, your Majesty.”</span> You did not know the Supreme Ruler was here. That explains a lot.
<span class="mu-b">”I have come to tell you your new assignment. Starting today, you will head my defense fleet at <span class="mu-i">The Stand</span>.”</span>
<span class="mu-g">”That is a very important position to offer me, Lord. Surely there are other men more qualified then me? I am still early in my career.”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”It is not your decision. Besides- that's exactly what I need. The youth. The neuroplastic. We have been staring at the same stuffy planet for years now- going over the same strategies and the same simulations. We need fresh eyes.”</span>
<span class="mu-g">”Then I accept the position with gratitude.”</span> You bow.
<span class="mu-b">”Very good. Though, I do wonder- what does a young Takar want to get out of this? Your family has been less important in Hegemony politics in recent generations- once one of the most respected. Or, are you hoping for personal glory? I can tell by the way you hold yourself- you have a great need to prove yourself. Which is more important to you?”</span>
This comment burns you. How can he see through you so easily? Your planned response of “to bring only glory to my Supreme Ruler” isn't going to work- he can just tell you don't <span class="mu-i">truly</span> mean it. What do you <span class="mu-i">truly</span> care about more?
>Revitalize the Takar Family!
>My own personal Glory!
