Andolen nodded in turn to the chaos sorcerer and to Hashim as they each gave voice to their own position in the matter. He responded in particular to Hashim saying "I know well the window closes, which is why I called this meeting now, rather than at the date I had originally intended."

"You are right to say that the imperium is in a state of weakness. They are fanatic, and while their emperor whom they deem so glorious will correct that overzealousness in time, they stand currently in the belief that they are at their greatest moment. Pride has raised them high upon it's mantle...."

And here Andolen looked to Quinn, with a smile in his eye. "And thus now is the time to cast them down, where they shall break the most from the great fall."

Andolen was silent, turning his back to the others as he quickly calculated risks and determined his best course to follow. For a few seconds he said nothing, and then "I've been planning this long, intending to slowly close the trap around the fools while waiting for my forces and influence to grow enough to be sufficient for the means." He turned back to the group. "With you joining me, I need no longer wait, and so I will share with you my plan."


He waved his hand at several walls marked in runes throughout the caves. "Over the past few decades I and my followers have been laboring to create hidden gateways between this place and all other vital locations across this planet, indeed across the sector. Of particular note are those over yonder." he gestured to a series of gates marked with a symbol like a circle within a circle and crossed over with an 'x'. Those gateways lead to Terra's city hall, Police station headquarters, several larger media coverage companies, the star port, and so on."

He nodded to Hashim. "Being of the stature you are, with the power you wield, I would ask of you to take to the Police station headquarters and do what you must to shut them down. Contain them if you can, kill them if you must, but ensure that their armory and all their weapons and tools are beyond their reach."

He then nodded to the Chaos Sorcerer. "I had originally intended to get the space marines focus in a large and open area where my men would be better equipped to take them out. Put them out in the open with no cover, as it were. The space port seemed the best place to do this, but as of yet I had no real idea of how to draw them out." He smiled as he said "I do believe that you would have no trouble finding a way."

And finally to Quinn he said. "All of this must be very confusing for you, but allow me to explain in a way that works best for your mind. I intend to incite riots, instigate revolt, and bring about anarchy. I've invited you to join the party. You can go break whatever you want, destroy whatever you want, and generally do whatever you want. My only request is you keep the body count to a reasonable number."

He paused and then said "And this is an open invitation, so bring your friends, tell all the kids and young folk that, in twenty four hours, they can do whatever they want, and the police won't stop them."

He then turned back to the group and nodded. "I've said my piece, we've deliberated. Are there any final words or suggestions before we begin?"
