Imperial Special Operations Department #74 Research and Devlopment

- Do you really think this is wise? Defying a direct Imperial decree is not to be done lightly. You may have had your way when you intervened in Huntaer and when you issued that draft order, but this, this is nothing short of treachery. The establishment of an Imperial Department can only be done at the Dictator's direct order.
The two men where standing in a formerly abandoned mine, located on some obscure plaetoid on the far edges of Imperial space. The mine itself had been used to extract some precious mineral or another from the planet's frozen core, abut had long since been abandoned by Republic forces by hte start of the Fall of the First Republic. Now, only the mining facility's life support systems kept the atmospehre breathable and the temperature at a reasonable five degrees centigrade.
- The Dictator is weak, he has lost what influence he ever had. He has retreatedd into that armoured fortress of his, hidden away from the cruel reality which will very soon be knocking on his door.
- You're talking about outright treason! Revolt!
- Are you getting cold feet, doctor? You know far too much to be able to leave. If you turn me in, I'm taking you with me.
- Now, there's no need for threats. I didn't imply that I werent on your side, not at all. In fact, it was I who provided you this base of operations.
- Then I assume that you will do whatever task I might give you, unless you want to... terminate our companionship.
- Yes, yes of course. Of course... Colonel.
