Turn 21
Date: 21st February 2786 8 PM
Mason blinks and with the butt of his shotgun strikes Jack in the chest winding him, the others hear a few bones crack as he stumbles forwards winded from the mighty blow, Mason tilts Jack's head up "
Do you swear you are telling the honest truth?", with complete sincerity Jack replied "
Yes". Mason let him fall to the floor and kept his shotgun trained on Jack for a few slow seconds and then began barking orders "
For god's sake! Get those men out from under there! Search every damn nook and cranny of Hope and report back what you see" As the bewildered guards fulfill their orders Mason lowers his shotgun and blinks occasionally, his eyes look slightly moist, after just ten minutes the search party was back "
Sergeant, you might want to have a look at this"
The first sight Sheb saw as he tumbled out of his spawner was a man on his knees bawling his eyes out, a shotgun at his side and some uniformed men stood awkwardly around him, he pulled a few pieces of clothing from a nearby shelf and roughly coverd himself up, and holding them around his naked body slowly stood up - his head was currently a maelstrom of thoughts: he knew he was a member of Hope, but who were these men, what was happening?
After yet more waiting Mason regained his composure slightly, his eyes still red. But then Mason wandered away, he walked past the dazzled members of Hope and mumbled "
Keep them here, I'll be back either in an hour, if you don't hear from me in that time these men are free to go" Mason walked through the exit to the storage bay, climbed all 24 flights of stairs, walked into the governors residence, focused on the figure before him, raised his gun and pulled the trigger.
He then walked to the governors spawner and fired, reloaded and fired again.
At the same time in the hangar bay a half dozen drones armed with heavy guns flew into the loading bay and each fell to the floor after short circuiting, "Fucking drones" Adwarf muttered as he kicked one and stubbed his toe.
This concludes Part 1 and marks the beginning of Part 2

Just over twelve hours after the governor's death Mason addresses the citizens of Machu Pichu:
"
Heh, I'm not particularly good at speeches but it is of great importance you understand what has happened, we have become aware of a plotted assault on us, fear not for we shall defend our lively-hoods and succeed. Machu Pichu is also under new command as of last night, I can't reveal details but trust me when I said this is for the better, if we make it through this I intend to establish a democracy for the people of Machu Pichu. On that note I ask the crew of Habitat Hope, whether they will fight for us in the coming battle, if they do I personally will forever be in their debt, we need every man, woman and child available to make it through this" All eyes turn to the members of Habitat Hope and hushed whispers travel through the crowd, they were clearly awaiting a response
