cement pads where Darks stood in formation while, just behind the large central building, an enormous green plain sprawled out beneath the Praemon sky dock where military frigates landed and took off. A Helio class battlecruiser had docked at one of the stations four docking bays, the space it took up comprising a significant portion of the base itself and casting an enormous shadow over the open yard. On the side of the building there were large doors that led into subterranean garages where all manner of assault vehicles were being housed, repaired, and modified. It was a hive of military activity and the Dark soldiers that buzzed around it were strangely reminiscent of hyperactive insects.
    “Just park us quick.” Luke said, getting visibly anxious as Sable pulled into the basement parking garage on the left side of the complex.
    There was a parking spot next to the elevators that Sable pulled into. Without wasting a second, Luke threw the door open and hopped out of the car, stumbling on weak legs as he landed. Seeing Luke’s aggressiveness, Sable became slightly alarmed. “Easy Luke…”
    With a grin on his face Hendrick stepped out and checked the rest of the garage. “Vyvyr, Pontious, keep sharp, will ya?” Seeing Sable concerned over Luke’s aggression, Hendrick put a hand on her shoulder to calm her down. “He’s just here to talk.” He muttered to her as they formed up around him. “He’s just got a few questions. Nothing to worry about.”
     
    Dark soldiers sprinted through the hallways, armed to the teeth and prepared for a fight. All soldiers in the vicinity had been ordered to Central Command, the area of the complex where the highest ranking officers worked.
    The alarm didn’t bother Luke in the least, nor did it make the Ditrinity uncomfortable either. But everybody inside the complex knew exactly who they were and made it a point to get out of their way. And as Luke powered through the complex and his companions hurried to keep up, people would part to the sides of the hall, immediately recognize Luke and they’d instantly begin whispering amongst themselves. And though they spoke quietly, Luke could still hear what they were saying. He could hear their spiteful words, and it was clear they every last one of them harbored a good deal of animosity towards him. But his fight wasn’t with them. He was going after Samuel Alighieri.
    “You!” One soldier shouted from up ahead. “Don’t move!”
    There were two of them, both armed with Infiltrator assault rifles. Hendrick and Pontious moved up ahead of Luke and went defensive. Their pace intensified and they made straight for the soldiers. The soldiers’ boldness faltered and they lowered their rifles and parted. As they passed, Hendrick glared at the one on his right and sneered. “Shut up.”
    They said nothing as the group passed through them, while all they found themselves capable of doing was watching the five move menacingly towards the administrative offices.
    The door to the offices flew open, nearly tearing the door off its hinges and burying the doorknob in the drywall. Dark soldiers who guarded the door shouted passively at the intruding group as they strode into the empty quiet room.
    “Where is he.” Luke growled to the secretary, who shot up from her chair at the sudden burst.
    “W-who are you loo-“
    “Alighieri. I’m…” Luke trailed off as he saw a door at the end of the office. He didn’t require any further explanation. The secretary, shaking violently, beckoned to the soldiers outside the door.
    “H… h-help…” She tried to finish the sentence but could only manage a quivering point towards the office that Luke appeared ready to assault. And when Luke reached it, there was no knock, no notification of any kind that he was entering. The only way he could have made a more alarming entrance was if he had kicked the door down with a machine gun blazing.
    There was a group of people who sat all around the office,
