a character in “The Multiverse”, as played by Saarai

Description

Name: The Jupiter Corporation.

Founder: Lochlyn Haley.

Leader(s): Lochlyn Haley.

Date Founded: Unknown.

Public Status: Terrorist organization. De facto rulers of Hera Prime.

Allies: Elias Crowley, The Rogues, Gen. Andarta Heller, The Human Brotherhood, The Hessian.

Enemies: Everyone who isn't an ally.

Manpower: Unknown.

History:


It's unknown when exactly the Jupiter Corporation was founded, they aren't known by any other names. All that's known is that they were founded by a man named Lochlyn Haley, a powerful man with god-like abilities hailing from London, England. But even this is disputed, rumors say that he and his organization have existed for many years working in the background. Be it manipulating major events, engaging in secret wars, in wars by proxy, and even terrorism on civilians and military through the years.

Recently, they've openly declared war on any and everyone who doesn't ally with them in their war against the known universe. Their motives are shrouded in mystery, some seeing them as warmongers in the same vein as the Spartans, others as terrorists, and others power-hungry zealots.

Despite it's association with the terrorist Lochlyn Haley, the Jupiter Corporation was filled with men and women who knew not what their CEO and founder was up to. After several long months, it's still existing board of directors were able to clear their names and in an effort to rebuild the company in defiance of Haley, made moves to bring it back.

Under the leadership of CEO Sarai Elbaz, the legitimate Jupiter Corporation was able to make it's way back into the technology game. Unfortunately for Elbaz, the actions of Haley has left many distrustful and has even painted a target on her back for Haley himself.

Even then, she plans to earn the trust of the masses and defy Haley. Letting him and her detractors know that she will not be bullied.

General Logistics:


The Jupiter Corporation's main combat spacecraft, known only as Morningstars, make use of homegrown shielding technology, armor and weapons. The shields are designed to take large amounts of kinetic damage while the ship's hulls and armor are designed to absorb large amounts of plasma, energy and kinetic damage as well. The shielding used on ships are several different variants of shields stacked up on each other and powered by an unknown source of energy from within the ships. This easily explains why the shields can take several different forms of attack unscathed.

The weapons used by the ships vary, but are mostly the same all around. They include Chroniton Torpedos, Directed Energy Lasers, Railgun fired kinetic rounds about ten times bigger than the shells used in tanks, Plasma-based weapons, Nuclear Missiles and Energy Disruptors.

The Jupiter Corporation makes use of hundreds of thousands soldiers acting as a personal secret army for their leader, Lochlyn, as well as a large undefined number of mercenaries. Estimates for his mercenaries range from thousands to the hundreds of thousands. Most soldiers and mercenaries aligned with the Jupiter Corporation are armed with kinetic and pseudo-energy based weapons. They also make use of supersoldiers, most seen as being nearly indestructible and able to fight entire battalions of infantry before being forced to retreat, if retreat is an option.


Ship Weapons:

- Chroniton Torpedos: Chroniton torpedoes are ship-mounted weapons developed through study of temporal science. The torpedoes are capable of passing directly through an enemy's shields due to the fact that they are in a constant state of temporal flux. Due to this, the torpedoes cause massive damage to a ship and can, if the ship is weak enough, destroy them in just a few shots.

- Jupiter Torpedo: The components of a Jupiter Corporation torpedo are contained within an elongated elliptical casing, comparable to a tank shell. The weapon is armed with a nuclear warhead. The warhead has a detonation chamber filled with antimatter, nuclear energy, photons and plasma. Upon detonation the torpedo created a matter-antimatter explosion, discharging the contents of the detonation chamber, effectively destroying it's targets or damaging them, and releasing a deadly flood of ionizing radiation with lasting effects on land.

- Anti-proton Beam: The Anti-proton Beam is a directed energy weapon capable of potentially causing massive amounts of damage to ships and land mass. The exact mechanics that go into creating an Anti-proton Beam are unknown, but the beams themselves are encased by plasma, keeping them heated to high degrees reaching at least 400,000,000 Kelvin, and ensuring that they deposit the correct amount of energy to cause damage.

So begins...

"We can make that happen, Mr. Sullen. I'll get in touch with him when I get back to my ship. Get you guys talking business." Captain Styles told Josiah, "I should probably get back to that soon. As much as I enjoy tea time, I'm more at home doing what I do best." Style told the men with him.

"I do hope that's okay with you all."

"It's fine Tarin said my men should be finished and you are cleared to enter our space. Though if you plan on moving further into enterprise space I will need your plotted courses." He said with a nod.

Josiah just nodded to the men. "That will be fine. General Captains, Moff I will be retiring to my quarter's if you need me. Once you talk to Mr Haley just inform Tarin and he can get in touch with me." Josiah said before walking out of the room.

"I'll be sure to throw those your way." Styles said, standing up from his seat. "You all have jobs to do, try not to get too plastered or anything." He said to the other captains from his fleet.

Styles then turned to the other men as Josiah left, "I'll be seeing you around. We have a bright future ahead of us." Captain Styles said before he turned and headed for the exit, his lieutenant in tow.

Syntori 8
6 Hours after board meeting
SEC Military High Command


A man stood in the room as he read the report. "Jupiter Corp Forces are Moving toward our Planet. Move the Board to their Bunkers and prepare the orbital defense systems. Mobilize the Security forces." The Planetary security commander ordered. "I want a sign off on ground to space based missiles." The commander ordered.

"Whats the ETA on Teller's Fleet?" The man barked.
"2 Minutes Sir. He sent us that report." An aide shouted.

Across the planet for the first time in history an alarm sounded. People stopped unsure of the strange sound until words followed. "All citizens are to report to their homes or local shelters in the lower levels of the city immediately." Across the planet men wearing the black armor of the security forces were milling around preparing for the worst but hoping for the best.

Above the planet over two hundred ships jumped out of FTL. Among them was Admiral Charles Teller this was the Vanguard of his fleet. "Take up an interception course for the Jupiter Corporate Fleet. All Paladin class ships are to prime their primary weapon systems I want them on stand by." He barked as he rubbed his Temples.

"Attention Juniper Corp Fleet, My Name is Admiral Charles Teller. In our records I have that a Captain Quinn Styles is your commanding Officer. Captain Styles I bring an immediate order from the SEC's board. Given recent evidence regarding Mr. Haley his stock holdings have been frozen and criminal charges are being upheld. By order of President Lindsey Holiday all Jupiter Corp forces are to vacate SEC space effective immediately." Charles stated.

"We're being hailed." Jan told Captain Styles, "Patching them through." A crew member said.

Quinn sat back in his seat, listening to Admiral Teller speak, all the while his crew were preparing their weapons. The soldiers putting on their gear. "What's this about criminal charges?" Captain Styles asked, "What are these chargers, if I may?" He asked Teller, wanting to buy time for his men and the rest of the fleet to prepare themselves for whatever was going to come next.

He needed to contact Lochlyn first. Get the orders straight from his mouth now that things had changed.

"Contact Mr. Haley, Jan. Everyone else on standby." Styles ordered, "Yes, sir. Contacting the Janus now."

Charles listened to the response. " Mr. Haley is wanted by both the Aschen and the Taiyou for acts of Terrorism. President Holiday has elected to uphold these charges and has ordered that Mr. Haley's Assets be frozen as his motives for investing in enterprise stocks are reevaluated. Further More the Enterprise well be upholding the status as Mr. Haley as a criminal and known terrorist and we demand that he turn himself over to international authorities." Charles stated in a response. "I will reiterate that until this matter is resolved President Holiday has ordered that all Jupiter Corporate forces leave SEC space. "

"Link us into the planetary defenses, and contact gamma groups, Gamma, Echo and Foxtrot, set their jumps as planned if we do not respond to an order in ten minutes they are to proceed with the contingency plan." Teller stated.

Styles scoffed, rolling his eyes despite Teller and the others in his fleet being unable to see him. It just came naturally for the situation. "The Aschen and the Taiyou are the same people who called the Terrans terrorists for defending themselves and their nation from Aschen and Taiyou attacks. Your leader, Holiday, can't be that afraid of Mr. Haley that she'd stoop this low to oust him." Captain Styles said.

"He won't let this stand, the better idea would be to back Mr. Haley and prevent any loss of life over hearsay. Especially since he has plans to give the company's technology to the SEC." Quinn told Teller.

"Sir, Mr. Haley says proceed with your original orders." Jan said to Styles, "Let him know I'm trying to talk them down. But, I understand and will follow our orders without hesitation. Let the others know to get into position." Styles ordered.

Teller listened to this man speak. He was starting to wonder if this wasn't going to end peacefully. "Shields up full" He stated, before turning back to respond to The Jupiter corp forces. " Captain Styles a singe planet in another galaxy is of no concern to this matter. What your leader is accused of doing is no better than what you have accused them of. Now as for the Taiyou in light of recent events regarding Mr. Sullen, fought with our forces in Cybran space. I daresay I would not be here today not were it for their assistance in the intervention over the Cybrans. But this isn't the problem if Mr. Haley Wishes to show his meaning toward us then he would order your fleet away and face up to these charges. Using a military force to get his way will not go lightly here or in the international community. " Charles said pausing.

"If your fleet continues further toward Syntori 8 this will be seen as an act of aggression and we will be forced to respond forcefully." Charles said.

"Scrable the ground based fighter bomber wings. Have the Carrier crews prepare to launch as well. I want targeting locks on their ships. " Charles Stated to his command crew.

Near the fringes of the Syntori 8 System, a single Hyperspace distortion opened up, if one could really call it a Hyperspace Distortion. As the distortion came, it quickly went, until a massive alien ship flickered in roughly several thousand kilometers away.

It appeared as if the strange ship was made from wood, organic in appearance with massive branches, and bioplasma surging from the rear of the ship as it pushed forward.

"SEC has been approved for AXIS admittance following ratification by your government." A Voice played out on the communications.

The figure, clad in a long hooded cloak stood at the bridge of his ship, which was in tune with his very thoughts as the ship's internal systems began to spin mutations for weapons to be readied.

"Ships and Personnel of the Jupiter corporation, you are advised to leave this system or be terminated, this is your first, and final warning." The stern voice hailed the Jupiter ships.

"Admiral, we have not accused them of anything. It's simple fact. We are not calling the Aschen or the Taiyou terrorists, they are terrorists. War criminals. Men and women who kill for power." Styles said, standing from his seat. Jan handed Captain Styles a headset, the man putting it on before moving to leave the bridge.

"They are not unique in this, let's make that clear." Styles said as he and Jan walked, both of them being handed armored vests and utility belts with holsters. "I'm no politician, I'm a soldier who follows orders. And my orders are to kill." Captain Styles told Teller, being hand a pistol which he shoved into his holster.

"Not for power, but to send a message."

Styles and Jan stepped into what might have been an escape pod. Armed men and women already inside and strapped in standing up. Styles strapped himself in, taking a deep breath.

"I can't sum up the message with any class or elegance." He admitted, "I can only say that you've fucked up." With those words Styles removed the headset, tossing it out of the pod as the doors closed.

The forty or so Jupiter Corporation ships fired off the pods. Each spherical in shape, down towards Syntori 8. There had to be a few thousand of them being sent down towards the planet, the speed at which they moved and their quantity making it nearly impossible to stop them all or pinpoint where they'd be landing.

The ships aimed their weapons, some down at the planet and others at SEC ships in the area. They were ready to go to war and do some damage.

They weren't prepared for just a battle, this was a holocaust if they had their way.

Teller was listening to the scene the response when the Axis Ship emerged from hyperspace. He quickly replied in a comm. "Forwarding your message to ground command I think we can have that Ratified after this is dealt with. In the meantime as Operational Commander I am giving Axis forces Green lights on weapons in SEC space, if it comes to it." Teller responded.

Though not a few moments after the chaos seemed to begin. As the pods Launched the Bridge of Teller's flagship turned an Eerie red. "Concentrate fighters for interception of those pods. Allert ground forces to brace for impact and repel defenses."

Teller then strapped himself into his command chair. "Axial Superlasers online on All Paladin Class Defenders Sir." An officer stated.

"Target the ships, targeting the Planet and Fire. Fleet is to execute defense plan gamma." He stated has he punched in his authorization code.

Across the fleet All three massive Paladin class defenders lurched as their Axial Superlasers fired. A bright green light would shoot from each racing toward the enemy ship in a linear path vaporizing any of the pods in it's path. The weapon, had the ability to crack through strengthened planetary shields and easily rip deep scars across entire landmasses. On impact the ships would be torn apart though each laser could only target one ship per shot.

Following this deadly attack the entire force would launch a barrage of thermonuclear missiles towards the Jupiter Corporation's fleet.

The pods were in such a great number, constantly being fired the forty ships, that for each one destroyed there were five or six entering the atmosphere of the planet. They'd crash into buildings, roads, anything in their path as they descended on Syntori 8. The shielding on the pods taking the brunt of force when they hit the surface of the planet, keeping the men and women inside from dying upon impact.

Eventually the pods would open up, allowing armed men and women to climb out and move through the streets of Syntori 8's megacity. Squads forcing themselves into homes, offices, and the planet's sewer system.

Others took it upon themselves to hijack any vehicles they could get to, with some opening fire on any law enforcement or military they could see. They needed to buy time for their comrades to get situated. Getting onto the planet could be seen as the easy part. Making the most of their time on Syntori 8 without being decimated or overrun was the real challenge.

Above the planet the Jupiter Corporation fleet was doing it's own part in making things easier for their people on the ground.

"Fire on the planet, avoid our own if you can. If it can't be helped, fire anyways." The man now in command of Styles' ship ordered the fleet, "Open a channel to the enemy," He ordered the remaining crew.

The massive ships in the fleet began to fire their weapons on the planet, attempting to create chaos and confusion for their ground forces to capitalize on. It was much easier to take the planet if the SEC had to focus on keeping the planet from becoming space debris and it's people from filling many thousands of grave plots.

The ships seemed to easily take the attacks fired on them, several different kinds of shielding flickering on each ship hit. Most notably was the orange energy, likely new and strange to any scanners the SEC ships may have had.

The Jupitor Corporation ships seemed focused on only firing upon the planet, their weapons aimed at the SEC ships not yet firing a single shot. They were up to something, buying as much time as their shields would give them.

The Lone Matokey ship didn't seem to react as pods were fired towards the planet, and the ships themselves inevitably began to open fire.

However what seemed like inaction was the opposite of what was truly transpiring. The Ship shifted on it's axis only slightly, as the ship's consciousness assessed the number of Jupiter Corp ships in the area. M'zulft was running his hands through the ship's weapons complement, before he accessed the psionic neural nodes throughout the ship. With a thought commanding the ship, psychokinetic energy would move to draw the pods, each and every one of them wildly off course, attempting to force them into each-other or perhaps redirect them back into orbit.

Those that weren't redirected would likely find the structural integrity of the pods failing, as the materials vibrated apart on the molecular level.

The second wave of attacks followed, as the larger ships were likely being drawn away from the planet, their individual weapon turrets redirected back into the fleet, and against each-other while orbs of sickening green energy began to form among the Jupiter ships.

These orbs began to ramp up a gravity field, acting like miniature black holes scattered through the Jupiter fleet, aiming to tear each and every Jupiter ship asunder, and hopefully finish them swiftly.

As the pods approached the planet they were met with both the fire from the fleet they passed and that of fighters that swooped up from the planet. Those pods that were not thrown back into orbit would find themselves the targets of swiftly attacking fighters. Some of the more dangerous pods were rammed directly by drone ships sacrificing the fighters to save lives on the planet below.

For any of the pods that did make it to the surface, they would surely be a danger but with each passing moment, thousands of security corps members rallied to the call. Fully armed teams roamed the streets hunting for the pods that fell upon the planet. Any teams that did make it out would meet stiff resistance. Aerial Assault teams flew into burning buildings where pods crashed using repulsor lift packs. Attacking the Jupiter corporate soldiers from their entrance points.


-------------
In space the battle continued as the fleet continued toward the Jupiter corporate fleet as the missiles had not been countered the space around the Jupiter Corp. ships would erupt in light as the missiles would detonate as close as they could get to the ships. Once the light was cleared three entire fighter bomber wings would be launched from their carriers in the fleet following up the attack and leaving only minutes before they reached the ships.

From behind the fleet three new task forces would arrive launching their own missiles specifically targeting the ships engines before moving in closer hoping to follow up with a short range attack from behind though this would likely come minutes after a second detonation.

There were fire too many pods being fired for the majority of them to be stopped, each one holding up to five or six soldiers, engineers, intelligence agents. This wasn't just an attack that would end after a few hours or a few days, they were laying the ground work for terror cells, guerrilla warfare, dissent among the people of the SEC.

One couldn't be sure exactly where each pod would land, even those that fired them couldn't be one hundred percent sure. They just needed as many pods as possible to hit the planet and deposist the men and women inside.

"We're under attack.Something's forcing our weapons away from the planet." An engineer said to the fleet's new commander, "Now we're being forced off course." He continued, "How long will the shields hold?" The cpatain asked.

"Hours if nothing goes wrong." A crew member answered, "Drop the engines." The captain ordered, fearless despite his ships coming under attack. They wouldn't last long, not under these conditions as far as he could tell. But, that wasn't the point of the mission.

"And then fire the Chroniton torpedos in all directions wher we have enemies and the planet itself."

In the egine rooms of each Jupiter Corporation ship men and women worked to remove their engines from whatever was holding them in place. The engines themselves were round in shape and very large, obviously meant to power the ships and their weapons entirely on their own.

"We're in overload in three seconds." An engineer said as he and many others tapped buttons, flipped switches and pulled wires on the engine itself.

"Bridge, we're ready."

With those words uttered cargo doors opened beneath the engine room, sucking out everyone in the room and the engine. The other ships did the same, engines shooting out into space surrounded by dead and dying men and women. To call the sight gruesome would be nothing but an understatement.

The engines preppeled towards the SEC vessels, seemingly attracted to them. This while with the last of their energy the ships they came from fired several torpedos at their enemies and Syntori 8. The torpedos fluctuated an eerie orange glow as they moved, they and the discarded engines all that remained of the Jupiter Corporation ships as their shields went down and they were attacked by the forces around them.

That and the men and women simultaneously burning and freezing in space.

"Do you see?" A man called out from a street corner, "Do you see what I see in this government?" He asked the people passing him by, very few stopping to give him more than a quick glance, even fewer stopping to listen. "The Aschen, the Taiyou, they've murdered countless peoples in conquest. For being different from them." The man ranted.

"Maybe this new terrorist group is bad, but those who oppose them run totalitarian police states. It starts with extreme security measures, then you, me, everyone is arrested if don't agree with the status quo or don't have family in hgih up places." The man continued, "Then they move on to other peoples in search for conquest. Our government doesn't know if CONCORD attacked, but they are willing to go to war regardless of evidence, or the lack of."

"The SEC can not protect you, only you can protect yourselves. Rise up. Fight. Protest. March through the streets. We need a new leader. If not Lochlyn Haley, than someone better than our growing fuhrer known as Lindsey Holiday."

A young woman would listen to the man on the street corner. "A police state? We were driven to this! If Mr. Haley left peacefully or surrendered to face a fair trial then we would not be in this mess!" She screamed she appeared to be on the brink of tears.

"You call for protest, but have you stepped back and looked at our situation? Clearly you haven't analyzed what the President is saying. We will not be pushed around! This isn't about war it's about respect! People have died and the CONCORD have done nothing but deny their involvement if they are truly innocent then all the president is asking for is proof! This is about respect, and safety not an elaborate scheme for a totalitarian government!"

A crowd was gathering around the two now the unknown man and woman.

"Driven to this?" The man asked, "We were not driven to oppressing our own! We were attacked from the outside. They are waging their war on the inside. Holiday wants to kep her power, and siding with genocidal murderers is the best way that she can think of to do just that!" The protesting man shouted.

"Maybe Haley should have surrended and faced trial. But, he hadn't comitted any crimes against the SEC until he was about to be attacked. Is that the kind of leadership we want? They'll convict their own allies based on the testimony of killers. We need change, and we won't get it arguing with each other."

The man approached the woman debating him. "Can you tell me with certainty that you don't think something's wrong with this whole situation?" He asked her, "If you can, do you believe yourself?" He asked.

"Can any of us really trust ourselves in times like these?"

Fortis walked through the streets of Aether City, holographic display shooting up in front of his face from a device in his hand. He didn't need to see exactly where was going, the people cleared a path for him. Some out of fear, others out of respect. The Rogues were a force of nature that everyone avoided.

"I'm looking over the reports now." Fortis said, looking around the dislay towards a large black building. It was the headquarters of his organization, dubbed by the people as The Gallery. A fitting name, so it stuck with the Rogues. Fortis raised an eyebrow at the building, taking a cautious glance around the area.

"We've seen increases in crime all across the planet. Raids, muggings, heists, gang activity, and even terrorism. The rebels, terrorists, guerrillas, and gangs are becoming more brazen and more well-equipped." A woman's voice said to Fortis through the communication device on his wrist. "Yeah." Fortis responded.

"Quartermaster, are you okay?" The woman asked, "I am, Arky. But, uh... didn't we have some miitary outside of the Gallery?" He asked Arky, "Yeah, why?" Arky answered, "They aren't here. It's probably nothing." Fortis said, eyes on the entrance into the imposing building. "We've got a few prisoners inside, I'm going to have someone question them about what's been going on." Fortis said, approaching the building once again.

As he moved to go inside a Misranan soldier was rushing out. The two locked eyes, Fortis noting the soldier's facial tattoos. They were odd. They stood out. Fortis stopped dead in his tracks, furrowing his brows at the soldier as they quickly fled the scene.

"Hey!" He called out, but before he could get a reaction he found himself pelted with brick and mortar. The Rogues' HQ had exploded outwards, it's fire was growing rapidly and would probably spread to nearby buildings soon.

Fortis picked himself up from the ground, black trenchcoat ripped open to reveal the burns the man had suffered from the explosion. His fair skin was darkened by the dust and soot that was preventing sunlight from reaching him. Fortis could only wonder if this is what hell was like.

Searing pain and darkness.

A police officer rushed towards Fortis, clearly speaking words to the man but Fortis couldn't hear a thing. "I'm fine." Fortis lied, "Go help others." He ordered the police officer, "Go!" He shouted, waiting for the officer to leave before he dropped back down to the ground. He couldn't stand while he was in so much pain and while he couldn't hear. He needed to recover.

When he was back in shape whoever did this was going to have to answer to Fortis. And he would make them beg for the Reaper.

"I don't think I can take this anymore." Jacob said loudly, "Don't I get a speedy trial?" He asked, "Shut up." Another prisoner said to the disowned terrorist. He was housed with the normal guys, he'd lost the abilities his father had given him and it was killing him that he couldn't just Hulk smash his way out of the base.

Not that he would need to. There were already plans in motion.

In another part of the stockade sat a man Jacob knew well. Hannibal Breux. His little slice of heaven was more heavily guarded compared to the ones holding run-of-the-mill terrorists and deserters. NPA Enforcers on patrol, Terran marines standing guard, and cameras watching everything around the dangerous African man.

He was dressed in prison colors, extremely strong shackles keeping him from going any further than his room's sealed door, and vents for filtering in a nerve gas to put the man out like a light. He didn't know if it would work, but Hannibal didn't want to give the enemy a reason to use him as test subject.

"Meal time!" A man shouted, stepping into the brig behind a young soldier pushing a cart with trays of food stacked on top. "Eat up. We need you strong when we put you in front of a jury of your peers. Or ship you off to someone else who wants you. I heard the weather is great on Aschen prison planets." The man shouted again, dressed to the nines in a military uniform. He was ranking officer and he seemed to enjoy his time taunting the prisoners.

The food cart gradually made it's way down the row pushing trays into each cell for the captured men and women to take. Jacob quickly grabbed his tray, seemingly very hungry. The food didn't look very appealing itself. Two sandwiches, coleslaw, and what appeared to be beans on most trays. They looked like beans, at least.

Finally came time for Hannibal to take his meal. He stood as soon as a knock came on his door, approaching the slot where his food would be pushed through it.

"Oh, look. The same thing as yesterday." Hannibal said, "I was hoping it'd be steak. I guess we aren't ready for the chair or a gas chamber?" He said mockingly, snatching his tray when it came through the slot. Hannibal looked at the food curiously, nodding his head a few times.

"I don't want it." He said, dumping his food on the ground. He then pushed the tray back through the slot. "I'd rather starve than keep eating that bile." He told his captors, "Fine by me." The ranking officer said, picking up the food tray and setting it back on the cart. "Alright, that's everyone. Let's go." The officer told the young soldier, the two making their way back out of the base's holding area.

Hannibal kneeled down towards his spilled food, running his fingers through it until he found an object. There it was, a slop covered cellphone. Hannibal kept the phone covered by the slop, raising it up and slipping it into his mouth. As far as the cameras could tell he was eating off the ground.

The Tunisian terrorist made his way to his bed, laying down on it with his face turned towards the cold grey wall beside it. Out came the phone, still partially covered by disgusting food. Hannibal discreetly pressed several buttons on the phone, navigating through to contacts already programmed in.

He selected one, allowing the number to dial itself. Hannibal turned on the speakerphone, then lowered the volume as much as he could without making it impossible to hear. He needed to make sure what he was going to say, and what would be said to him, was going through loud and clear.

"Hello?" A man answered when the call connected, "Is it time?" He asked, "It's time." Hannibal told the man on the other end of the line.

"As God is my witness, it's our time."
