The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance (also fuck you Loni and co.)

[empress_without_a_throne]

[Well, someone's back at the Unity Group bases... though her return's kinda dour on account of all the bullshit that just happened.  And the newly-returned DuskBird's already showing a godawful amount of damage on account of Loni's breakout.]

I wish my return would've been a happier, less bloody occasion.  Needless to say though, SolSavior is ready to fight again though... and I apologize for the... 'deception' that was spread regarding the DawnBird.  Initially creating it had been the plan, but partway through a better alternative had been found in using a regulator, and thus it became a project to develop the 'QuasArmor'.  I didn't know myself until the design was nearly complete, and ultimately it was decided to continue as if the DuskBird were to be replaced.  We were hoping Sara and the Indalph would think us vulnerable and attack, and that suspicion proved true.

But now though...

Anyone who wants to loose Loni and his friends on the world is a danger to everyone.  And considering what happened to Commander Antov... diplomacy won't get us anywhere with them.  Not anymore.

I know, and I'm sorry. But I didn't find out until us before leaving, and the fewer people that knew, the better. We were dealing with Sara, after all, and thanks to her thinking Solaris was vulnerable the Indalph are down another general and we've made new allies.

... But that doesn't make up for what we lost afterwards, does it?

[So yeah. So much for a victory high.]

Dido quirks her mouth. "New allies...gods, that SolEraser gang had some freaking Chutzpah! Sabotaging the Indalph war effort from behind the scenes! Holding back just enough so that we could grow stronger!"

She rubs at her chin. "How are they doing? Do you think they've recovered enough that they could take visitors?"

They're still pretty weak. Parasites will do that to you, and even if they weren't Sol beings, they got blasted by plenty of Void energy all the same. We can't even more them from Solaris HQ just yet.

But they should be able to recover, with some rest. And I definitely would like to hear what they have to say.

"Particularly how we can put a stop to the Indalph's invasions." Dido says.


She goes pale suddenly. "Do you think we made their 'deaths' convincing enough? If Sarah learns they're alive..."

And now here face goes dark, and she clenches her fists at her side. "Holding a planet hostage to coral a single person...what a freaking ego trip."
