The Depths of Deception

Uh Leon? Shuo wasent on the last mission that we have all been vaguely referencing.

The Depths of Deception

Stupid website. Anyways the reason the average person hates rebels is due to them being counter-intuitive to their own goals. They realize the Soveriegnty will look after them and their kin.

The thing about it is is that they can change the law if they want. You have to remember that they were on their own in the galaxy until quite recently. They have been dealing with rebels since well before first contact aswell. The thing that keeps the general populace in line is the culture the captiluim has shaped over thousands of years. It also helps when you don't feel anything for races that arnt your own. Another thing to keep in mind is yes it is influenced just it is influenced my by the cult of personality surrounding the sovereignty's exsistanse. And yes rebels have always been a problem which they consider worth the price.

Shuo finished putting his dress uniform together and gave himself a quick look in the mirror. Everything seemed in place, from his rather dead expression to the cuff links he was wearing. His rank was proudly displayed on his shoulder and chest, he also carried the insignia of ArmSpecWar. He gave the burn marks that came up to just above his collar one last look. He never understood what act of Shen made him survive that grenade, and he probably never would. He made his way to the door of his room and opened it again to the lifeless suite he had been living in. He drew a slow breath to signal his disatisfaction with the current arrangement. Though it was nice that he didn't have to deal with anyone it was however, a double edged sword. He walked through the suite and opened the door to find the others already gathering.

"Well we should get on with this then." Shuo said in a rather neutral tone making sure to not give any hint to his opinion of what they were about to do.

Your image of the Sovereignty and what it actually is are two different things.

Also a thing: the sovereignty dosent really censor media they also make a point of not trying to control it. Granted the sov based ones are going to be favorable toward them cause you know they live there.

If anyone's charecters did something like that during the war it's fine though. After though and ou get into the old "you gon die boi". Also, shiva did her time and shuo realizes that. She also fought for the sov during the war which is enough for him.

Fun fact: The Sovergeignty hates rebels and out sourcing so much that they would rather risk a diplomatic incident before they let someone not in their ranks handle a critical task. However the diphryods under sovereign protection might.

Shuo looked at Shiva and for a split second froze in his logic. He almost pushed out a half baked word from his mouth in an attempt to express thanks. Instead he managed to spin the noise that would have been into a proper word. "Yes, I would....very much like..one." He said just barely able to contain the first bit of excitement he had in many years. He picked the crustacean up with his thumb and middle most finger and brought it to his mouth. The smell, oh the smell grew with intensity as he moved it closer to his mouth. When his sharp front teeth finally scrapped across the top of the shell he grew with anticipation. He began biting into the shell cracking it with the force of his jaw he almost had a violent flashback. It was almost like reliving part of the war with every layer of flavor that touched his taste receivers. As he finished his first bite he breathed in deeply and exhaled slowly, his eyes blinking slowly as well. He almost saw it....the red grass of the planet before it was attacked.

Shuo looked down to Shiva once more after swallowing his first bite, making sure to savor the entire flavor the best he could."Thank you.....for this..really." Shuo continued eating while he thought about what Rareth had just said. Turning over to the now sitting Rothain Shuo remembered something . "I saw a human awhile back trying to escape a cell using his teleport end up in the middle of a table. It was a bit funny, though I'm sure you have had much more practice with it then he did." Shuo then continued eating the crawler rather slowly until he finally consumed the last bit of the creature. Shuo nodded his head in agreement with the food even though it was rather dead at this point.

"Well then, I believe we are leaving soon for the meeting. Seeing as how I have not dressed properly yet I will meet you two again apon our departure. See you then." Shuo said as he made his way to the door. He disliked taking things from anyone that under him as he felt it was rather rude. But that was very much a special exception and he could live with that. He opened the suite door and crossed back to the other side of the hall and entered his suite again. There was noone in it and it seemed rather lifeless compared to the other suites. But he honestly didn't mind at all. Just as he finished that thought his stomach sent out a wave of pain that it was still hungry. He decided to head over to the fridge and grab out some fish that he had picked up the day before. After preparing it he ate it raw with his hands. Considering that it was cloned fish it was nearly disease free and what ones their were in it Masulu immune systems had long ago accommodated for. He did hope that they were not sent on a long range deployment that would require them to be somewhere for several months. Those were usually grunt deployments. And from what he had seen....none of these people were that.

Ignoring the Rothians stab Shuo went closer to the glorious morsels. When Shuo finally got a full sniff of the crawlers his pupils dilated fully and his mouth began to water. When Shiva saluted though he realized he neglected to tell her not to. " Two things Shiva. First until we are actually underway there is no need for you to salute me, or call me sir for that matter. Second....where did you find these? I haven't seen them in close to 25 years now. Got addicted to them on a planet called Benign Incandescence during the war. " Shuo stopped when he heard the distinct noise of Rareth teleporting. The noise was always the same, it never changed.

Turning to Rareth as she teleported away from the glorious smell Shuo cracked half a smile. "And that's the thing with teleporting, never quite sure what your teleporting into." Though Shuo was interested in the humans ability, it sounded similar to what the mech pilots experienced when they synced in. Putting that off to the side in his mind he turned back to Shiva."Anyways, you must tell me where you found those. I will head their as soon as possible and acquire them." Shuo said as seriously as he could manage.
