((Oh.))
Bown awoke first, he was tired and hungry from his running last night and haddn't had much to eat since he got here. He started a small fire, downwind from the Thurgual Camp to they didn't see the smoke. He began cooking some of their rations for when the others woke up. The DAWN Team carry a special type of food that is ultra-light and compresses for easy storage, in theory, when a DAWN Team mission is taking place, every commando will have enough food for one week in case the mission go haywire. But in practice, the food is not very sustaining and usually only lasts a few days anyway. Bowen and Severon could ration for themselves, but Bowen was worried about Siberius and Violet, Bowen and Severon didn't have nearly enough food for all 4 of them. Severon was woken to the smell of food, he opened his eyes and sat up, he looked at Bowen,
"how long have we been asleep?",
"about 2 hours past sunrise", Bowen replied, "but don't worry, we all needed the sleep". Severon nodded and began to eat. They ate in silence every so often glancing at Siberius and Violet. Severon especially, there was something not right about Violet, he could sense it.

It was a very awkward breakfast, Violet noticed, there was hardly any conversation going and everyone kept on glancing at one another when the other person wasn't glancing back, still,
I'm glad I have food to eat... Violet thought, The last time I ate a decent meal was back-
"So what exactly is the problem?" Siberius said, interrupting her line of thought,
"And what are these...Thurgual things?' Siberius asked.

Bowen and Severon looked akwardly at Siberius, then at each other. There was a pause, and Severon swallowed and spoke up. "The Thurguals", Severon began, "are a beast-human race, Bowen, Recko and I faced them in a mighty battle about 8 or so years ago, with many lives lost, Recko commanded us in stratigic attacks to defeat them..... Obviously.... It was not enough. I'm afraid they are out for Recko's blood. Thurguals are vicious and unmerciful. The only way we can save Recko is to sneak into their camp and break him out.... With the whole army there. I doubt its anything else but impossible", Severon said
"but we are going to try anyway", Bowen finished. Bowen looked at Siberius, "will you help us? We would greatly appreciate your skills. If we save Recko we can all fly to Central in my airship". Bowen knew this was a big ask, but he had to try.

The fleet back at the end of the Forest were all resting already.
Vendarn continued to occasionally check in with Communications to make sure everything was fine.
It was a while longer before he next noticed any signs of life.
"What's that?" he murmured to himself, but he already knew the answer in truth,
"Smoke..." answered Fern quietly, tired.
Vendarn smirked and relayed their co-ordinates to Communications, who questioned their next orders.
"We'll continue to move on," explained Vendarn, "but get some soldiers up to our co-ords in case the act goes wrong.
Vendarn grinned and grabbed Fern's hand, squeezing it to psyche her up, "Got enough energy left?"
Fern looked slightly worried, "I don't know..."
Vendarn shrugged and sped forward, "Well we gotta follow orders right??"
The ship suddenly broke through into a clearing, and Vendarn brought the vehicale to a sudden halt as he surveyed the area.
To his surprise, there were no thurguals or armies...
There was a small group of people, silently eating their breakfast.
Vendarn swore.

Siberius spun around and jumped back, staring in shock at the rumbling roar of the ship's engines, confused weather it was an enemy or not...
Violet jumped back to, but grunted as she staggered backwards and collapsed under the heavy wind, she looked around hoping no-one saw her, and instantly got up by Siberius' side.

((Siberius looked at Bowen, "these guys with you?" he asked
"Fuck no, I don't know them", Bowen replied,
"hmm, well thats awkward....." LOL))
Severon turned and saw the two people out in front, a big man and a small girl. Bowen and Severon simutainiously sprung to their feet and pulled their guns within moments of their sight,
"Who are you and what do you want?", Bowen barked, he peered closer and saw the emblem of Central on the mans uniform, but held his gun firm.

Vendarn eyed the man with the gun carefully, "Thurgual?" he asked Fern
"No..." replied Fern softly, "but he could be working with them - although it is a well known fact that thurguals despise mankind"
Vendarn looked down and pondered a moment, "I'll have to send you out to talk with them"
Fern bit her lip and nodded slowly as the door swung outward.
She moved herself numbly over to the side and jumped down gracefully, standing strong and alone outside the ship, "I am Eleanore, the Empress of the Immestrial Empire. Please identify yourselves. We will not hurt you..."

Siberius stood there with his eyes wide opened, mostly confusion was the only thing running through his mind now.
"Bu-..Wh- Your not Eleanore!" Siberius spluttered out, trying to find the right words to say in this situation.

Bowen flinched, stedied himself and eyed the girl in his sights,
"TREASON!!" Bowen yelled and pulled the trigger on his gun.
Time slowed, Bowen was so angry at Eleanore's imposter he neaded a second to steady his gun in order to fire. Just the second Severon needed. He leaped in desperation and slammed both his palms into the sides of Bowen's gun, about 3 tenths of a second before he fired. The gun went out of control and the bullet whizzed off and hit a large tree. "What are you doing?!" Bowen screamed "this woman is an imposter!! The penalty for treason is death", Bowen said and re-alined his gun...

Fern flinched and raised her arms as the bullet rang out.
She flustered for a moment, but then quickly steadied herself once more, staring down at the angry Vizier, "Treason, you say?"
Vendarn had already managed to load a gun and was ready to disembark the ship at any time. This was definately not looking too good.
"I told you to identify yourselves. Failure to do so will result in casualties. You, then, will be the ones committing treason" Fern said strongly, never backing down.

Severon did not like a few things, one was back-chat from his inferiors, another was grit-sand, another was the markets. But the one thing that Severon hated the most is death threats. Severon was enraged, he jumped to his feet and drew his gun and aimed it at the imposer,
"Belive me, treasones scum, you will die before you make another death threat to us", Bowen said, he rounded his gun on the girl. Severon wondered about who the girl really was, he thought for a moment, we shouldn't kill this girl, she could be useful if she nows the land thought Severon. Bowen was having similar thoughts, but kept his finger firmly on the trigger of his gun. Finally, he let out a small sigh and looked up from the gun's sights. "You wll tell us who you are and what you want now. If you don't we'll kill you", Bowen said bluntly "It makes no difference to us whether you live or die so we don't care. Now, you name?", Bowen asked sharply.

Fern shut her eyes briefly and breathed in,
"Don't. You're the Empress" came a muffled and near inaudible voice from the ship.
She re-opened her eyes, and to be honest, she didn't know where this was going.
But it was for her Empire, and her Empress.
"Do you be deaf, Wanderer?" Fern accused without further hesitation, "I asked you first. Now reply"
Vendarn very quickly left his former position and returned to the communications console on the ship, "Bjorn. Send in reinforcements. No fire yet, but we have a confrontation with others. They are threatening the Empress"
"Understood, High Officer"
"Oh, and don't allow them to be seen. Keep cautious" he quickly added
"Will do. 15 minutes max"
"That is all" Vendarn concluded the conversation, and hoped that they had enough time on their hands.

"Oh really?", taunted Bowen, "well how about... You tell us, and we don't shoot you? Hmm? Sounds fair don't you think?".

"High Officer" Fern's voice rung out throughout the clearing.
Vendarn cursed softly, what is she doing!?.
But he did not hesitate.
Vendarn jumped out the small space provided, and quickly raised himself up to full height.
It took him only a few steps before he was standing at least one step in front of Fern, holding the gun in his right hand close to his body, not aiming it at anyone.
"This is High Officer Elliot Vendarn of the Immestrial Imperial Army," Fern explained aloud, still staring straight at Bowen, "He is proof that I am not lying. I have already told you, I am the Empress of Immestrial, and if you do not believe me, please name the reason why"
Vendarn's thought whizzed wildly, but his expression remained stern.
Neither of the two bodies moved at all, they just stood and stared down into the eyes of the others...
Something seemed vaguely familiar. But where were they all from?
Suddenly, it hit Vendarn, "Vizier... Vizier Siberius!!"
