"Not nearly as valuable as our natural resources. Arnia turned away from mining minerals before the formation of the Galactic Republic. The caves that they created and then abandoned have since become mythical sites... but our Great Leader has found them, here in these mountains."

"Hidden away, under a blanket of mythos... Impressive. Most impressive. But who is this 'Great Leader'?"
Dak considers this. If they're someone he needs to forcibly wrest control from...

"You'll see," Pade replies.
He leads everyone to a side of the clearing, against one of the mountainsides. Standing still for a moment, he inspects the rock wall before strolling over to a certain rock and tapping his claws on its surface.
A section of the wall seems to melt away as the door slides open and the hologram projector shuts off, leaving a wide, dark doorway into the mountain.
"In you go," Pade says.
Gremon smiles.

Dak will shove Gremon forward before him as he goes in. "Someone's looking cheerful."

Gremon says nothing.
The doorway has been built into the entrance of a cave that widens as you move deeper into the darkness. Lights flicker on in the freezing cold of the cave, shedding a pale white light onto your surroundings. The cave walls were smooth once, bored out by the plasma machines of the Arnians, but time has deformed them.
Ahead, you sense more beings incoming.

Can I sense if they're hostile?
Dak will once more bring a knife to Gremon's neck as he approaches the beings ahead, so they won't simply shoot as they see the Prince.

You sense fear until the ragged Arnian rebels come moving toward you, wielding a variety of cobbled weapons and wearing tattered clothes. There is a big Arnian in the lead, wielding a blaster cannon as if it were meant to be portable.
"It's alright," Pade says, gesturing for the big Arnian to lower his weapon. "They're with us. We have a prisoner and we're here to meet the Great Leader."
The big Arnian nods and waves his men down.

Dak eyes the big Arnian critically before looking at Pade. "The forces don't look like they've been doing too well."

"Times are tough," growls the large Arnian deeply. "But we fight on."
"Dak, this is Reynal," Pade introduces him. "He is a leading figure in our military forces, having abdicated from the Royal Guard itself."
Ah, that explains his size. Typically Arnians are not so brutish, but members of the Royal Guard are bred- and experimented upon- for ultimate fighting capacity, with immense strength, thicker scales, and greater mass. However, they are not bred for intelligence.
"Not terribly bright, but he gets the job done," Pade whispers to you. He addresses Reynal next. "We're here to see the Great Leader. Dak is a member of my clan, the Kalieros."
Reynal grunts and curiously looks you over. Finally, he says "This way," and waves you down the cave. His soldiers move back into their defensive stations, hollows within the cave walls, while the brute guides you deeper into the mountain.
"Do you trust these people?" Ker'Raos asks you, Dak.

"I trust these people about as much as I trust most people in the galaxy," Dak replies quietly as he follows Reynal further into the cave system.

Remaining true to his alias, Wraith follows in absolute silence, keeping his senses open, both physical and supernatural.
Let's just see their Great Leader, then. I'm sure he's nothing stupendous, not compared to us. But then again, are we even capable of leading anything? We squabble amongst ourselves, the three of us. It's remarkable that it didn't happen more with Kuylen, but he always had a firm hand. Too bad he was a fool.
Wraith makes no aggressive gestures, keeping his arms folded in front of him.

Ker'Raos nods, and follows you.
The tunnel-like cave grows wider and larger until it connects with what appears to be a central cavern. Within are hundreds of Arnians, men and women and children, bustling with activity as they scurry about the cavern, heading off into other branches of the base network through adjacent tunnels or working at computers or escorting wounded soldiers or... you can hardly track what everyone is doing.
In the midst of it all, upon a central pillar that is wired up to the rest of the computer systems, an Arnian is seated before a holographic feed that is displaying the rest of the computer network. He strokes his chin thoughtfully before noticing you arrival, rising to his clawed feet. Instead of waiting for you to come closer, he lowers the pillar and descends to the floor, walking amongst the other Arnians before standing before you.
The Arnian before you is a very strange sight, Dak. He is decked out in a rather lavish military uniform that is very unlike anything the Royal Army wears. It is black with a red sash falling across his right shoulder, with a golden pauldron atop it. He wears boots that strap on around the thighs, with holes for his claws to slide through. Footwear is uncommon on Arnia, and his uniform is definitely not an Arnian design.
Furthermore, he is physically bizarre. Unlike the varying shades of blue that the Arnians around you are, his scales are a smokey gray and, from the looks of it, very dry. His eyes are solidly black; no whites to them at all. You have never seen anything like him.
"Pade, you have returned... with guestsss," he says, his voice somewhat higher in pitch. His tongue flickers like a snake's when he reaches the S.

Dak draws himself up as the... thing approaches.
"Dak Kaliero," he says after it addresses Pade. "And you are?"

This fellow is a freak, but definitely Arnian. His mind reads very odd on your senses; it is very firm and yet so very twisted.
"I am Mither Ssso'Ngah, the Great Leader of thisss Revolution," he introduces himself. "Are you truly a member of the Kaliero family, then? I ssseem to recall..."
He falters in midsentence, noticing that you have Prince Gremon at your mercy, a knife to his throat.
"Hah! Ssso it is true then, what Pade hasss told me. The mightiest Prinssseling of Arnia has been tamed."
Gremon snarls, but says nothing.

Dak's eyes narrow. "Yes, I defeated Prince Gremon. And yes, I am a Kaliero. I was taken by the very ones Gremon hired to kill my family, and was trained in their ways. I've returned, now, by the will of the Force," he finishes with a tone of importance.

Mither gives you a skeptical glare.
"Sssurely you do not believe that the power of Tsssa'Dis can be channeled through the mortal form?" Mither asks. "Sssome call it the Force. I call it impossible."
"Tailless heretic!" Gremon shouts, his pupils narrowing in outrage.
Sure enough, you did not notice before, but Mither So'Ngah lacks a tail, the highest form of embarrasment for an Arnian.
Mither pays him no mind, though, and eagerly awakes your answer.

Dak barely stops himself from rolling his eyes. "I don't know about 'channeling the power of Tsa'Dis', but the Force is very real." He looks around, and Pulls a random piece of handheld equipment to him to demonstrate.

You have to remember that Arnians rarely venture off of Arnia. The Force is used by only one group of people, as far as they are concerned: the Royal Family. And they derive this power through the gift of Tsa'Dis, which gives the Queen-Mother her ability to provide visions that dictate how each day goes.
Mither seems to be skeptical of this.
"Ah, fascinating," Mither comments. "But tell me, does this gift come from another source?"

"The Force is what gives me my power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It binds us and empowers us. Those with the ability and training can bend it to their will, use it as one uses a tool... or a weapon," Dak says, repeating what he was taught many years ago.

"So sssuch magic is not a gift of Tsa'Disss," Mither hisses, glaring at Gremon. "I see through the lies of the Royal Family. For all your power, you must cow our people by allowing them to think you are blessed by the Gods when there are no such thing as Gods!"
"You speak heresy!" Gremon snarls. "We only seek the best for our world. Only those with an agenda would see otherwise, shameful outcast that you are."
