It was time for the Yiramati to commence,the bi-weekly forum/get-together. Isha sighed as she rounded the corner, giving the elves at the door a customary bow. She wiggled herself in her robes,readying herself for the ongoing storm that was Strike Squadrons' control room.
"Salutations." She announced. The heads of both Yasha, head of Strike Squadron Five, and Multiyada, head of Strike Squadron Seven, turned towards her. The two seemed to be doing their usual discussion known as "trying to strangle each other", the two commanders necks were both covered by their opponent. They quickly unwrapped their hands and steadied themselves.
"Greetings." Yasha spoke.
"Good to see you." Multiyada replied after. Isha smiled and sat down into her usual seat.
"Gods, to this day I still don't know why High Command chose these two." The voice of her long time friend and leader of Strike Squadron Three, Mizauna, chimed in.It was through a mind-link the two had set up a year or so ago that allowed them a nice chat room to drown out the others insipid fighting.
"Because they're damned good at their jobs and they don't strangle each other on the field." Isha replied. "Lovely to see you again Mizauna. I didn't see you at the last Yiramati."
"I couldn't make it. We had a loyalty-building exercise that day. Sorry for leaving you to these idiots."
"One always follows the others. If it wasn't for the fact we've met Multiyada's wife, I would've thought they were a married couple."
Mizauna laughed a bit until two more commanders walked into the room. Strike Squadron's second and first commanders, Yishi and Zeguchi, their faces a little darker than usual. Isha sat up while the other three grew concerned.
"Salutations everyone." Zeguchi spoke. The four others greeted their personal commander with formal bows. Zeguchi waved them off.
"It appears that commanders of the six, eight,nine,ten,and eleven squads have chosen to not appear today." Yishi noted.
"This is optional and those five also have names." Yasha responded.
"If they had the courtesy to show up, I'd have the courtesy to remember those names."
"So what's the problems, bossman?" Multiyada questioned.
Zeguchi pulled out a runic stone and tapped on its side. An image blared from the polished stone showing image of a human carrying what appeared to be a...
"An Ent-Seed!" Multiyada exclaimed. Mizauna gasped while Isha peered closer at the image.
"How has this happened? Commander of the third,are you not in charge of the storage of our life-givers? Our parents?" Yada demanded. Mizana was just about to speak against Yasha's accusation, until she was stopped by Zeguchi's hand.
"It is not one of our's Yasha. The report is that it came from Shioi."
The group gasped as they heard that dreaded name, the name of the fourth Great-Ent tree forest. Long since been destroyed by human and Akantati hands.
"How?" Mizauna spoke.
"If those dammed hairless apes dared touched the land,I'll...tell Adama." Multiyada spoke with a devilish grin.
"Why didn't you bring this up with High-Command?" Yahsa asked. "The Ulimati is coming in five days, you could've had Adama, Zitachi,and Urna all clamoring right now."
Zeguchi shared a gaze with Yishi so quickly that no one else saw it, all except Isha that is.
"We'd like Isha to investigate this claim." Zeguchi explained. "Give enough intelligence for us to form a counterattack."
The elven woman blinked in surprise. The others turned to stare at her.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
