Because of his Cratorian roots (prefecture B-6) Captain Stone is very adapt in using swords, and will often prefer to use melee over long range tactics, However because of his longstanding experience and training, Stone has learned to be more rounded and is not one to hesitate using a gun when needed.
Once Stone was finally able to convince the A.N.G.E.L. commander in allowing him to command his soldiers in his own eniknight armor, he was given the first officer grade eniknight nicknamed " Red Principality" Which exhibits all the same qualities of the standard eniknight however with a further reinforced armor for added protection. The Red Principalities signature move is the "demon flare" a blast of energy that take the shape of a jackals head that the Red Principality is slightly able to steer into his target momentarily/
On your feet Stratian!
Is this the prisoner you are wanting pardoned Ms?
You are alright
Sir the prisoner is secured and is cleared to egress the holding cell to the desired location
Acknowledged proceed to escort the prisoner to our destination while Ms. Tavian and myself accompany you.
Excuse me for asking but where are we heading
Silence dog!
If I wanted you to strike my prisoner I would have issued you the order to do so. Now again soldier, ESCORT the prisoner to our destination.
Yes sir, very sorry.
Stratian, we are currently located at my division's commander's building. It is here where we will hold the last portion of your military tribunal to determine what is to be done with you now that you are in our captivity.
Is that to include execution?
=his tone of voice then changes to a frustrated yet tolerable one as he continues to speak=Yes, in fact I was the one who argued the validity that you should be executed for your involvement at Arkacello as well as your cardinal sin for residing in the heavens which prompted the catastrophes we all now endure.
.But.. however, Senator Tavian's daughter here for some reason wishes to play devils advocate, and had argued against me for your pardon.. So we shall all find out what becomes of you
I have come with the Stratian prisoner Leer to conclude the mans tribunal.
Very well Captain Stone, General Star has already given you permission to enter.
General Star, before you I have brought the Stratian prisoner Leer, for whom you wish to conclude his tribunal.
With that Vage takes Stone's place while the Artomidian officer sits down.=Very well Captain Stone, you may be seated as the prisoner steps forward.
Well it appears his story checks out.
Well Mr. Leer, now that you have given me a story that literally holds up in court, I will provide for you the intel I have gathered on you from hacked Stratian sources. According to the report that fell on my desk, You are regarded now as an enemy of the State for the Stratian Republic, your actions that saved the Tavian family, to include assault upon friendly combatants, leaving your assigned location, aiding the enemy, has been listed as high treason, in addition they believed your capture was a form of defection. Your head, whether it is on your neck or on a stake is worth a 50,000 credit bounty. To summarize things Mr. Leer, you are actually safer in the hands of your enemy then your home nation.
On our end however you were involved in an invasion that claimed the lives of 20,000 people to include unarmed civilian, a catastrophe that affects the overall well being of all people of the A.N.G. this too warrants you as a dead man.
However given that your actions saved three lives, which whom were listed as your enemy deserves at least some form of a pardon, so I will leave you with two options.
The A.N.G. is conducting a test on a prototype armor that is currently awaiting development, unfortunately development is currently on hold since the previous testers did not survive the production phase. Modifications have of course been fine tuned since then as a result, however given the deaths of the previous testers, volunteers for the project have been few and far between. Many people offered the position, have even branded the project as a death sentence. So my offer to you is this, you can either enlist into the Stratian ranks under close observation and be a tester for our prototype armor despite the risk, or accept the execution, personally I would find it wiser to roll the dice being a living Artomidian, than insuring your death as a Stratian. So which will it be Mr. Leer?
=Vage said=I will do it, I will denounce my status as a Stratian, and take part in this project you speak of.
=General Star looked to Captain Stone before giving him an order=It is quite pleasing to hearing this Mr. Leer.
you may remove his restraints Captain.
=With that Captain Stone unlocked his restraints.=Don't think I will be the least bit easy on you now, you are still a Stratian to me until I deem your not.
Well then, Soldier Leer, Welcome to A.N.G.E.L.
=Vage shook her hand a moment and then saluted her. As his hand was lifted up for the salute, he heard a loud clicking noise. It was then discovered that Captain Stone had applied a collar to Vage's neck similar to the one that is on Raven's neck. Captain Stone then walked around Vage, over to General Star's side and held a remote in his hand=Thank you Ma'am
What is this thing?
While it is great you have opted for joining the A.N.G. rather than remain a Stratian, it does not mean trust will automatically be warranted to you, especially while possessing a prototype that has the potential of being a devastating weapon. What you have on you is a remote sensitive explosive. If for whatever reason you were to turn against us in anyway, a push of a button on the remote Captain Stone has will insure it will be the last thing you ever do. Since Captain Stone will be monitoring your involvement in A.N.G.E.L., I have entrusted the remote set for that collar to him. Do remain on his good side please.
Yes, Ma'am
With that said, May I have you other three step forward, and I will brief you more on why you are here.
Don't make your commander repeat herself, pay attention and look sharp!
=he sneered as he then returned to General Star's side=I will deal with you two later.
oO( Is this guy like this to everyone? )
Soldier Remil, please stand at ease. You have demonstrated without a shadow of a doubt that you have proven yourself as a valued soldier within the A.N.G. If you only knew of all the positive feedback that the 11th A.A.S.T. Command has circulated about you, you would understand why you have been hand picked for the accommodation you are about to receive.
I will first tell you this, even though the Battle of Richmont ended in defeat, your squads efforts were not overlooked. It is because of your squads actions in holding back the Stratian offensive as long as you did, is why 800,000 people owe their lives to you for their escape to Caska and Holygrounds, as well as allowed for the strategic retreat of 12,000 able soldiers who are now aiding the Caska regiment on the frontlines at our prefectures boarders.
The Artomidian Airborne Shock Troop detachment has recognized you by name for leading a fighter squadron of Stratian Arrow Piercer Fighters away from their position which greatly aided them against the Stratian invaders.
Because of their valued service the 11th A.A.S.T. has been absorbed by A.N.G.E.L. and will be the first detachment to push back the Stratians as Eniknight Legionaries. Also because of your recognized service you have been awarded the Heaven's Sword, One of the highest awards to be bestowed upon a soldier during war time.
=The General opens the second box and pins the officers rank on her lapel=In addition, to this medal, it has been unanimously agreed upon by A.N.G. High Command that you are to be stepped promoted from Senior Soldier, to 2nd Lieutenant (Lt.).
You're duties and responsibilities will be briefed to you in private however there are two orders of business regarding your new position that we will discuss here and now.
The first of which is, the individuals you see before you will be assigned to your squad to include the former Stratian Leer and another individual currently en-route Senior Mezzerai. They will answer to your orders, while Captain Stone will serve as your superior officer as Company Commander. I expect great things out of your leadership 2nd Lt. Remil , I trust the men and women under you will be cared for and in turn care for you.
Lastly a detachment with such merits is worthy of some prestige within our ranks, this is my personal award to your detachment, to allow your men to be branded with something more than a number. Your first duty as Squad Commander of the 11th AAST is to grant them a name worthy of their praise, something they can find more pride in than just saying they are the 11th AAST.
.Richmont's Hawks it is then
=She says as the others in the room look his way, Captain Stone behind them, burning a hole through him with his glare=Senior Mezzerai, I would like to introduce you to your new detachment
=he said in a firm almost threatening tone as he walks toward the General=Lt. Remil, you are aware that it is my jurisdiction to determine who does and does not get assigned suicide missions. I highly suggest you keep your soldiers in check. Lesson one for officers, the officer is the first to be accountable for the soldiers actions
If nothing more needs to be addressed, I will go and inform the development team that the soldiers are on their way.
Very well, Captain you are dismissed
=The Captain says as he salutes the General and takes his leave.=Ma'am.
As for the rest of you, you are to proceed to Weapons development lab, you will find it east of this building, two blocks away, you are dismissed.
=were the words from Dr. Splietzer that the three testers overheard on an intercom. Vage and Cyrus were to look up and see aDr. Splietzer hunched over a control pannel with a microphone and next to a blue haired woman, as a team of scientist worked around them. Vage and Cyrus both enter their seperate chambers, barefeet stepping to the pink powder that feels like silt.I am needing each of you to step into the vats at this time.
Vats 4 and 5 are ready for commencement, vat 1 is still pending.
Lt. Remil, you are needed to step into your vat at this time.
=the soldiers returned to their regular possition.=As you were
=the Captain ask=How is the procedure coming along?
. =the doctor says before his eyes shifted toward Captain Stone=Two of the three soldiers you brought me are prepared for the development process, once the third is in place the final phase of development will be underway
It was my understanding that there would be more Captain Stone?
. =Answered the Captain=There were, however our intelligene has reported a new Stratian advancement is moving in from the southern border of the prefecture , and their specialties are required there at this time
=The doctor said refering to Laymin Shyvell and her two teammates who have already survived the eniknight development sequence.=So it will be just these three along with the earlier three legionares that will be involved in the first combat observation?
=He answered, changing his attention to that of the testers through the window, studying them as a feeling of envy for them falls over him=That is correct.
=were the words of one of the scientist from behind a terminal=Sir, all vats are ready and awaiting the production sequence to begin
initiate phase one.
=Said the assistant as he flipped three switches and began to slowly turn a red dial=roger, switching on vat turbines and activating electron disruption set at 10% output
=Captain Stone says as he looks down, glancing toward Lt. Revil, whom stands at attention in the vat as the fans at the vat ceilings begin to turn on, stirring up the enifiberous particles into the air. With a stonecold expression on his face as he glares at her, he raises his hand rendering a salute of recognition to her, as it is hard telling if she or any of the other two will survive through this. She is able to see him salute before a pink cloud of the particles mask the three of them from seeing anything beyond a few inches infront of them. All three of the testers begin to feel a slight itch feeling=The combat observation will not be against the Stratians, Soldier Shyvell, your combatants you will be facing are those three down there. This exercise will be the training you feel is needed. I expect an excellent performance from all of you.
It would seem I have left a vital piece of equipment downstairs, I shall be back momentarily, *cough* *cough* Dr. Yule, you are in charge until I get back, report any irregularities *cough* *cough* to me right away *cough*.
Yes, doctor
You are certainly setting a good example for your subordinate Soldier Shyvell, over there Chief Master Sergeant.
=he thinks to himself currently unaware that his thought processes are being broadcast both through a communications link between eniknights and out loud within hearing range.=(> I'm.... I'm.. alive?
=Vage again thinks while his thoughts are projected out loud. As soon as he said that he tried to distinguish the voice and an amazing observation caught him off guard, the neural tap recognized his curiosity as a command and an audio wave with a loading bar going across it appears floating in Vage's view, before a small window pops up showing a portrait of Lt. Remil, with all the main stats of Aerionelle scrolling down underneath her portrait.(> who said that?
(> Very cool... lets see what else I can try...
(> Could this be accurate? I am beginning to feel a lot better...
=he says recognizing the medic had a good point referring to Laymin's potential=hmph... well perhaps you are on to something there Corpse..
=referring to the crystal that stores each of their eniknights in their photonic state=Did you bring your enicrystal?
Do you all have your enicrystals on hand for that matter?
