<span class="mu-s">+Attention Fleet, the Onus Probandi, Tartarus V, and Canticle of Faith shall be breaking apart from the main fleet. You are to stay on your guard and prepare to either react or warp jump. I leave such descrecian to your commanding Magos on what to do in the coming events.+</span>
The declaration was made and with it TalOS called out to his crew, +Approach Mezoa with the Warp Drive active. If they take offensive actions we should at least be able to make an emergency jump before serious damage is taken.+
With those commands made TalOS felt the firing of the thrusters and the movement of the Onus Probandi. Quickly a set of coordinates were made to make sure the voidship stayed at long range of the enemy ships just in case something happened.
With those done all TalOS could do was wait.
+TalOS.+ UZ1 called out the Arch Dominus while standing next to him. In the last few years she came under TalOS’s wing. He watched her move from a rather meek person to someone who stood tall, +Can I ask your reasoning for putting us in a compromised position?+
There was no malice in those words. No they were curious and an attempt to pick at TalOS’s head, +Trust is something that is built between two sides. It cannot be built if neither side gives a little to the other however. My matrix is comparing the chances of them attacking or joining us multiplied by the lose of my own life and gaining their world into the Federation.+
+But your life is the Crusade.+ Pointed out UZ1, +If you die the chances of Lucius continuing the expansion goes to 5%.+
+Reasonable, but did you add how much Lucius is already benefiting and those Magos who would try to continue expansion?+
+Fair…+ UZ1 admitted while giving a grimace, +I still think you miss measured the value of your life.+
TalOS grew a devious grin as he thought of something, +Did you put yourself into that equation. You are of value to Lucius.+
+I do not carry that much…+ UZ1 gave TalOS a pout as she realized his point before hitting him with some papers, +Don’t think you won.+
+I won’t gloat I won, but I did.+ TalOS said with a small chuckle to himself.
With their conversation coming to the end they watched as the planet marked as Mezoa slowly got larger and larger.
