Reports came flooding in. The monitors hissed and crackled as the Decados communications relay on Severus was bombarded by incoming messages out of Stigmata. Gorakhan had clawed her way to recognition on the galactic level, procuring the station of Stigmata Garrison Commander. But with that came heavy responsibility. She fashioned herself as one of the few deserving to rule as Emperor over the known worlds. But that position would offer little solace if the symbiots were ever to break through. She sighed deeply and resolved to put her personal glories on hold until mankind was safe from its greatest threat. As much as she was willing to betray any one individual, she was unwilling to betray them all.
"My Lady Commander, we have engaged the ..." and the message from the forward ranger cut out. Gorakhan moved to the next display.
"Lady Gorakhan, esteemed Garrison Commander, we request your attention, we need orders, a policy, for years we have only been able to do the bare minimum to maintain our position." the local commander on the surface of Stigmata pleaded in a live stream. This man, Dominick Lorezo, was known to most. He was a fine leader and soldier that had proven himself through the years fighting the symbiots to a standstill. He carried scars only his wife would ever be privvy to. Only in the Imperial Guard could you find a match for these brave and valiant warriors that had to throw themselves into a maw of unimaginable horrors day after day.
"Commander Lorezo, you have my full attention. I am transmitting my orders now. They are rather detailed. I will continue as acting governor over the colonies at Stigmata for at least the next decade. I expect a full report at year's end. Should the symbiots ever pass through the gate, you have my solemn pledge the Decados will hold the line at any cost. Let us hope it never comes to that."
Gorakhan flicked off the display and let her subordinates handle the rest of the obligations. She was tired already, tired at the thought this great responsibility was hers to carry. But to become emperor would bring with it an even greater role in shaping the future of man. She could not shy away. Having not slept for days, she dozed off, visited by vivid and nightmarish images of the symbiots.
Turn sent. Also, looks like someone's been a bad boy, because the church is on their way.
