"sir dogma has been called upon by the council. they request her presence. and if she doesnt show up they will hunt for her. with all due respect your honor, it would make things simpler if you let her go.and if not then i request you take me as prisoner as well so that when the time comes i can prevent them from executing her or anyone else."
the speech was long and he hoped beyond hope that he would understand.
"You think I'm arresting her? Ha! You are foolish." He dragged Gizmo up from the rooftops floor. "Captain, Storel. Keep our gest company." The soldier nodded and dragged Giz of the roof. "Allow me to escourt you to the capital towers." He smiled. "If the council want you, I'm sure they'll understand your delay." He started to grow impatient. "Now please."
"please my lord, let me send a message to my people through Gizmo"
"Thank you Gizmo. Council pays about 500 a message correct. If you would be so kind to call them and explain I am with the fabled commander here, I'm sure they will understand that I can get back to them. Please relay that message Gizmo, 5000 seems a better price then 500." Dogma replied to Gizmo. "And tell them I am making further alliances here, that will sway them enough."
She turned back to the might commander. "So shall we depart?"
The commander blinked at the challenge. "You will be arrested for assault. You will be held until i release lady Dogma here. Your lucky I didnt kill you when you attacked me, but you are young, you 'will' learn your place." He turned to the Captain. "Take her men to our legendary 'guest' quarters. And leave Gizmo to me." He turned back to Dogma as he walked. "Have you met lord Sion. Better known to the council as; Jacen 'Vrix' Sion." He smirked. "If not, suprisingly, you will tonight."
"No sorry Commander, I do not know of your Lord Sion. I mostly keep to my own area. I gained my General rank back at my region in combat. I have not traveled a lot before. But always willing to meet with council members." She looked over at Chris, she thought to her self Should learn to settle down a bit and know when to keep his blade down..bah
"Lets move on Commander, please"

He was skeptical of the story. "Elijah, eh?" He pulled a remote console from his pocket, pressing a few buttons to run a quick search of his database. After a moment, he pocketed it and walked over to the newcomer. "Let's get you somewhere to clean you up, soldier. You're away from the enemy now." He led the way down the hill, now wishing that he'd managed to get a hideout set up ages ago rather than having to resort to that drab old cave. No matter... He would have to make do with the bit of shelter he had to offer.
Jack followed Vincent to the cave. "Now what I had in mind but a cave is better than being out in the open. So tell me...have you heard any news about the resistance? Or has the Council destroyed them all? It seems that hope is slipping away with every hour that passes. Sometimes I doubt there is a chance to defeat the Council..."
Versh smiled, but said nothing. The silence being the most deadly answer he could give. He stepped down to the streets and began walking. The croud clearing a very wide path for him. The soldiers not occupied with prisoner duty flanked the troup. Fifteen minutes later, they were walking through the massive archways of the Farsnek capitol building.
Jake sat with his legs perched under him, much like a gargoyle would, and sighed. "Nothing ever goes on around here when I am around." He leaned back and scrathed his hairless head. Blinking his eyes brought no more energy then if he got up and ran around for an hour. "Screw it." Jake leaned back and rest his head on a wall.
As they walked to their destination Dogma saw the power this one man had, every man,woman, and child make a clear path in the streets. No one dare step in front of the commander or anyone one of his men. This power made Dogma also respect this man but unlike the others she did not fear him at all.
If this guy commands this much power than what kind of power does this Sion control. These people are obviously in command of this city and probably more than just this city.
"Your building is very impressive, I wouldn't be telling the truth if I said I didn't want to see the inside." She said and smiled at the Commander.
gizmo, never, and i mean never had been inside such an impressive building. but while no one was paying attention, gizmos robo arms tweeter (a rod with joints and 3 fingers in the inside of his inner elbow) was busy typing a message to the council on his projectoid. not a distress message , the situation was already dire enough. but explaining why his charge wouldnt make it to the meeting.
and he continued to get dragged
He smiled and walked through the massive oak doors. Versh led the three to his chamber, while Dogmas men were taken to their temporary prison cell quarters.
Versh entered and spun on his heels, pressing the door release, closing it on Chris and Gizmo and their three armed and well trained guards, who ushered them to a seating area. The commander spoke first. "The council keeps a very loose tab on Farsnek giving me free reign over the people of this city. As you probably noticed."
The Commander nodded. "Farsnek is not entirely run by me, we have a small senate and even our own council buildings, nothing, of course, when compared with the actual council but, the people of Farsnek ase happy." Versh stepped around his desk and sat on a chair. He indicted for Dogma to do the same. "Now, please tell me your busness with our fair city." He mentioned with a smile. "Yes," He leaned back in his chair. "Well power isnt everything unless you are the one in power. Thats the theory I use. And, as you said - Wonderful - In this city we have laws that the peple abide by, even council members fall under my durastiction, if they have commited acts that don't abide by 'our' laws, then they will be treated as criminals the very same." He smiled. "It shows the people of that they are safe from the council's tyrany." He paused, taking out two glasses. "There are thee smaller cities in this area that my 'power', as you put it, influnces. Just lucky you were in Farsnek. Our biggest and most beautiful and orderly city. The others are Roncorn, Sentia and Basckia." He poured himself a drink. "Join me?" He poured Dogma a glass, qiute finished speaking.
The guards smiled at their prisoners. "Dont worry laddies, our Commander is fair." He laughed at them. "The messege, you-" He pointed at Gizmo. "-sent has been intercepted and blocked. You will not send messages without the Commanders say."
Tanaka finally arrived at the small village he had been residing at for the past couple of weeks. As always, he proceeded straight to the local pub to obtain the latest gossip and news. Immediately, one piece of information caught his attention. A group of Resistance operatives had been taken captive in a nearby Council outpost. They were being held deep inside the facility, in the tightest security the Council could manage. Tanaka agreed there and then to attempt to free these prisoners. He set off immediately.
The Farsnek patrol squad reached Lord Sion's air-ship. After being cleared squad thirteen's captain waited in the main ward room of the large air-ship.

Sion watched Rika stare up at the blue sky through the transparient metal. "Are you hungry, Rika?" He asked as he sat on the ground outside her cell. She remained in her cot. Not aknologing Jacen. Jacen's voice was filtered and his face hidden to withold his identity to her. ((JaccArlington: I cant RP as Rika. You need to.))
