Description
So begins...
The Divine Shadow's Story
The Divine Shadow stared at Ethan, before he turned to the men, and then he started towards the door, once outside, the conflict of energies would cease, and of course, with the field up, Ethan's empathetic link ceased against the CPF Officers, and the CPF officers outside that were dragging the men out kicking and screaming, despite being unarmed.
There was a few seconds, and several Disruptor shots were heard, followed by thunks as the CPF officers that were once lounging under Ethan's influence, now lie dead in front of the bar, dead, collated, and tagged as they had been executed under the Shadow's Order.
"Incompetence!" He bellowed, glaring at a CPF Sergeant that had ordered the execution, looking to the Divine Shadow without question.
"We worship His Shadow, Fogive them, their lack of duty and direction has been punished severely, I shall gather their bodies and have them sent to the Bio-Scholars."

The Divine Shadow turned to face Nihil after re-entering the bar, the strange energies once again began to exude from him as he stared at the woman.
"And for your actions, I will park a CNV beyond the reach of your powers, and I will sling singularities at this world until it splits into pieces." He said, the strange power would be unlike anything the Equalizer has ever encountered, perhaps something truly godly, and yet evil.
Mundane would find his weapon rather ineffective, either from the field or from the strange energies exuded from the Shadow, which would rather easily deflect said bullet.
"Your powers are useless in a grander scheme, especially when the range of a CNV's singularity cannon greatly outweighs the magical energies of a pathetic being like yourself."
The figure stood it's ground.
"If you value the integrity of this world, you will cease to offend me."

The Divine Shadow was once again standing outside the bar, and the equalization field before he turned to the CPF Sergeant. "See me aboard my flagship, Order the CNV Atronach to prepare it's Singularity cannon for slow bombardment." He said, still offended.
"We shall see what Terran Pride does when a CNV is slinging singularities at this pathetic planet." He said, starting away from the bar and down the street.
"Consider the Armistice no more. Unless I am persuaded otherwise." He said, moving with the men towards the Gravity well of the Reverence I. 'Clairevoyant' Which was a shimmering column of blue light. The dead had been gathered and moved aboard the ship, and the Shadow was also standing in the midst of the light.
"Inform Admiral Inviere to begin the initial preparations for Aschen evacuation."

The setting changes from Gambit's Bar to Terra
The Divine Shadow stood on the bridge of the Reverence as it positioned itself about the city, staring at the massive spherical hologram of the planet before him. "Pathetic wretched Terrans... all of them!" He called out, bringing his hand swiftly upon the control panel with an audible thunk. The crew flinched to the sound of the Shadow's hand on the console, as he stared at the planet. "We control the Galaxy, and we're subject to this blatant disregard of our authority!" The angered Shadow looked up, and manipulated the hologram to bring up Wing City, and the Aschen quarter.
Aschen Radio chatter had already come to life, with transmissions concerning an Evacuation of Terra.

The Divine Shadow growled. "I've had enough of that pathetic planet.. with the Galaxy under our control there will be no one to stop us! Time and Time again they have thrown themselves in the face of order, and my authority." He said, turning back to Kianna, staring at her from under his hood.
"What would you propose that lobbing a few neutron stars won't solve?"
"What would you propose that lobbing a few neutron stars won't solve?"
The Divine Shadow tapped his fingers on the railing of the console. "The Terrans must be punished for their actions. Though perhaps the population as a whole does not need to be destroyed." He said, stroking his chin under his hood. "Belay my previous command, Discontinue preparations for the Operation, resume relief efforts." He said, his order promptly forwarded through the fleet.
"We worship his shadow.. this is Captain Jalen of the Atronach, We're on standby should you have need of us."
The Shadow nodded, and then turned to Kianna.
"You say you want to bring destruction from within.. what do you propose?"
"We worship his shadow.. this is Captain Jalen of the Atronach, We're on standby should you have need of us."
The Shadow nodded, and then turned to Kianna.
"You say you want to bring destruction from within.. what do you propose?"
The Divine Shadow paused a moment. "That man.. the Empath..." He turned to Kianna and his face was seen as the light played on his face.
"I want him personally delivered to me, If I need formulate a cause for you to bring him to the Empire than do so. I will arrange whatever you need so that he can be brought before me so I may personally discipline him." He said, stepping forward.
"As for the rest of the Militia, do what you need to do with them, to bring them to their end."

"As for the rest of the Militia, do what you need to do with them, to bring them to their end."
The Divine Shadow inclined his head slightly. "Perhaps I rather your company than your service. Besides a place like Gambit's has the greatest need of my protection. Though I am sure if I choose to venture there again. I can have the CPF Ensure my safety while you are tending to other needs, or I trust the Bifrost node to my security." He then pulled back the hood, revealing that he had on a T-65 Combat skin.
"Or my own skill as a soldier."
"Or my own skill as a soldier."
The Divine Shadow turned back to Kianna. "I want to see the Prime Minister of the Terran Government and utter the following; I worship His Divine Shadow' I want to see the people of Terra praise my name and prostrate themselves before me." He then turned.
"I want the power of order to bring the Terrans under the Imperial Flag." He then turned back to Kianna, and he regarded her.
"What made you change? Why did you leave them behind and join the Divine Order? These Terrans... they are so hard to change, to show the light and yet you.. You turned on them of your own Volition.. what did we do to have you come to Order, what can we do to bring them to Order?"

The Divine Shadow considered for a moment. "We have tried to show them kindness.. offer them promises of power, of money, of order.. and they throw them back at us... perhaps... turn the Militia and bring them to serve Order. And you shall be rewarded. They shall be rewarded." He said, folding his hands in front of him.
"Terrans are still in touch with their more basic needs... you have a point, perhaps rather than fear, I should rule with promises of wealth and power... they will turn on each-other to serve me."
"Terrans are still in touch with their more basic needs... you have a point, perhaps rather than fear, I should rule with promises of wealth and power... they will turn on each-other to serve me."
The Divine Shadow nodded slowly and calmly. "Your words offer a new angle on a voice that has always told us to burn their homes to the ground.. then we will do just that. They will sing praise of a New Empire, while Order quells the rebellion in the shadows. Good things will come to those who follow the Empire, but you will come to quell those who do not." He then gestured to the door towards the VIP Quarters.
"We must rest.. we have much work to do."
"We must rest.. we have much work to do."
The setting changes from Terra to Caprica City
The cell was dark, and yet the cell was somewhat put together. Whisper had been found and locked up, with her hands and legs bound, and a psionic dampener placed around her neck which kept her from accessing her psionic energies.
There was a low hum coming from a vent in the room, and the footsteps of several guards moving about. There was an ominous silence followed by the door opening up with a loud hiss, and footsteps moving through the door.
There was again a period of silence, and the Divine Shadow peered down at Whisper.
"An interesting find.. I will be sure to reward the individuals who found you." He said, looming over Whisper.

Kianna stepped in behind Mollem, eyeing the prisoner as little more than an item of curiosity. The girl was such a small and unassuming individual, so frail and delicate, so... breakable. It seemed difficult to believe this woman had caused so much trouble in years past. Trouble enough to warrant such measures.
Putting her curiosity aside for the time being, she folded her hands into the sleeves of her robes and stood diligent at Mollem's back, should he have need of her services.

Whisper was seated on the floor with her back to the wall as Mollem entered. She didn't raise her head as he spoke, and her silvery locks of hair left the bandages about her eyes mostly covered, along with the bits of scar tissue that could be seen around the edges of the cloth.
With wrists and ankles both shackled, and the psionic dampener about her neck, there was little to be gained by resisting her ordeal at this point. The dampener had cast her into true blindness, and even had her hands been free, she would have been in no position to capitalize upon it.
To a casual observer it might seem a strange thing that this small blind woman had been subjected to such thorough methods of restraint, but for those that knew her reputation they might have been uneasy that the precautions on her cell were lacking.

The Divine Shadow looked down to Whisper, staring at her from behind the blackened hood and the pleated hood that folded over his face.
"You will serve the Empire and worship his shadow, Kneel before me." He demanded, standing over the frail woman, glaring at her. "You have caused enough trouble within the Divine order, and now the power of order has destroyed everything you love, and it will eventually subjugate you under it's power." The Divine Shadow said calmly.

The Divine Shadow said calmly.
"And here I thought I was awaiting an execution," whisper remarked finally. Her voice was quiet, guarded even. "What interest is a blind woman to the Aschen people," she asked. Still she didn't raise her head, nor acknowledge his demands.
The Divine Shadow looked down to Whisper. "You won't be blind much longer." He said, pacing around her. "We need someone to spread order to the rest of the Galaxy." He said, looking down to her.
"Will you serve the Empire? Or will we force servitude from you... will you trade loyalty for safety?"
"Will you serve the Empire? Or will we force servitude from you... will you trade loyalty for safety?"
Whisper couldn't help but laugh at that, though the sound came out harsh and biting. "After everything the Aschen have done, you would try to barter my services?" she asked. "You and your people are monstrous, and I'll have no part of it."
She raised her head then, the locks of her falling away from her face. "Besides," she began as she held her shackled wrists up for him to see. "Didn't you and your people learn anything. No bonds can contain me for long, it's only a matter of time."

The Divine Shadow chuckled slightly. "You would be suprised." He said, before he turned to Kianna. "We're going to leave her in solitude, and she will eventually turn." He said, looking back to her, subtly gesturing to one of his men, who approached, and attached a chain to Whisper's leg irons.
It was then a hot, succulent meal was placed in the cell, but just beyond the reach of Whisper, the chain going taught not a centimeter before her hand could touch the food.
