Seeing as we will soon be sent on the governor's express to our next area, I am planning on drawing up a little map of it.
I find that maps are such nice things to have. Especially when our next map will feature plenty of steep drops and bottomless pits as we venture into the underworld!

Sherpa was quick to turn his gaze over to Maria the moment she asked her question, simply nodding when he had heard the question.
"First and foremost because it is the will of the planetary governor," Sherpa answered simply, having expected the question.
"And his reasons are his own. I do not have any information as to what grand plan my lord may have for the miscreant, whether he wishes to parade him through the highest spires in chains or organize a spectacular execution."
He spoke in a calm fashion, remaining his neutral expression which he had kept ever since the start of the meeting.
Looking at the Callidus agent, Sherpa felt a sense of amusement at how the assassin played her innocent charade, and the contrast in which it had to what knowledge or assumptions were going on inside the head of the person behind Maria. He knew the Officio Assassinorum were masters of information and deduction, the intel profession being a natural partner to the art of murder.
"My lord does appreciate secrecy, and he does not reveal his plans until they are ripe for execution. That is how he has managed to rule this sector up until now. As for me, a member of his household; I do not ask his reasons. I merely follow his will."
Smiling, Sherpa scanned the rest of the group, eventually resting his eyes on Maria.
"Any further questions before we depart?"

@SinerathinI'd rather not be the one to post over and over, so if someone else could post that'd be great.
Understandable, but sometimes it can be good to keep things from going stale.
Anyone heard anything from @Jbcool by the way?
Good luck with that. Hope to see you on Monday, @mattmanganon!

Checking: How many of you guys are waiting for someone else before posting? :P

Sorry, my internet unexpectantly went. I only have limited connectivity at the moment.
How bad is it exactly? Will you be able to post somewhat regularly?
Come to think of it, it might be fortunate your character is not the most talkative type :P
Out of curiosity, I'm interested in hearing what sort of time zones you guys are using :)
I myself am in UTC +1, what about the rest you?

Sherpa's eyes quickly jumped over to Caius before the guardsman had even seemingly begin to speak, nodding to give an indication that he was listening.
"I have one, sir. Is there a possible number to the amount of people Devran has under his control?"
Taking a moment to think, Sherpa gently shook his head.
"To be honest, no. The best we have is conjecture." Sherpa explained with his normal calm voice. Taking a step to the side, he would continue to look at Caius.
"You have to remember, Langsten, this is a civil war. The line between friend and foe, indeed, between combatant and civilian is blurred, and sometimes not even there. Anyone with any private sympathy for his cause is a potential follower. Like most civil wars, many of our enemies do not carry arms. Many of his followers are unknown, providing subtle services ranging from minor donations, supplies, lodging and logistics; to thinks as innocuous as selling his cause to their friends and colleagues. And usually, they are only a small step away from becoming potential fighters themselves."
Pausing again, Sherpa would chew on his lower lip.
" ... the closest we have to a rough estimate of his fighters; men and women who regularly fight for him and don't just pick up a rifle or bomb to participate in a single op or ambush; is around 6 million for the northern part of the planet. It is a rough read, as they mostly in hiding and spread out across large areas, preferring to operate in small cells with a few exceptions, such as the siege of Level 7 in the underground area known as Asphyx."
Sherpa said, motioning towards the screen behind him where the map of the underground was still visible on the screen, with its 10 levels.
"Most of his amateurs, or so called 'freedom fighters' are basically just poorly trained and ill-disciplined civilians who became soldiers overnight. But despite their lack of training, they are well motivated and supposedly very well supplied with weapons and equipment. As for the core of his army, it consists of a professional mercenary force gathered from across the sector. Though in the minority, they feature an organized fighting force filled by veterans with more than a millennium of experience put together."

@Sinerathin is my cs good?
there wasn't really a need to move on without me was there? i had a cs up i was just waiting for approval.
It looks good, you can put it in the CS tab & you're ready to go.
Djura will probably have been with the group all along. There was a reason why I was being very vague about the group's exact members :)
@Blackbeard
While it would be rude to interrupt the introductions from the rest, I do agree I'd like to keep this rolling :)
And because of that, HAVE A POST!
