As news of the surrender spread through Aschen space, people began to spill out into the streets of Caprica City and the city would suddenly become rocked with dissent. Not of the current government, but it's decision to place the Aschen people at the mercy of an uncertain future.



Thick black plumes of smoke seemed to tower over what was once a modern city, gleaming with glass skyscrapers. On the ground the people rioted, and they looted, smashing windows and stealing goods from within the buildings.

"We're all doomed!" One person shouted, before he unloaded his plasma pistol into a window. Despite all the rioting, it seemed the CPF or the Caprica City Police was nowhere to be seen, save for a handful of trashed police vehicles that dotted the cityscape. Even the chain of command within Civil Defense suddenly broke down as the populations of Caprica City took to the streets.

Roving gangs of marauders patrolled several districts of the city, while the meek and timid denizens cowered in their homes, clutching to whatever glimmer of hope they could have. While all around them, it seemed that Langara, and perhaps even the entire Aschen Empire began to descend into a state of anarchy, as police, CPF and the Military desparately tried to maintain control.

"I want to send some more of the new special projects graduates to Isiria," Kianna explained. "There's several promising ones, many of them Isirian. They're not as field tested as Whisper or Echo, but they're capable and I would rather put them to the test out there than here on the home front if these aliens from the Aurora prove hostile."

"I want a ship, to go oversee things in the Aurora personally," she added.

She didn't expect Mollem would care to send her so far from Langara, but if war erupted in Isiria she could do more good out there than here. She was the Black Hand before she was the Empress.
