You've already been there, Commander. It was the location of Jorium deposits that you used for your own spectre training.

I think we should either chase after the zerg for samples for that cure... or chase after that mothership the dominion are taking.

I'm leaning towards the mother ship as we lost november there damnit, it should count towards something.

One wraith goes down. Then four. Then five. Then six. One of the laser batteries strikes the bridge and blows open the window. You hold on to the handrail of the Commander's Podium, but several of your bridge crew are thrown into space before the metal seal slams shut over the window.

>"XO, this is engineering! We've got a reactor breach! They scored a lucky hit with that Yamato, I need all hands and all damage control down here pronto!"

You head to the brig, to interrogate the enemy commodore personally. You briefly reflect on the hallway memorial as you pass by it. Several more names will be on it before today is over.

The commodore has a cybernetic implant and serious scarring. He's an older man and you have no doubt that he's an extremely experienced veteran.

He's wearing typical manacles and sits behind the table in the interrogation room. There's an armed marine in each corner of the room.

>"Ah, the infamous rogue ghost. My briefing included you, but I did not expect to encounter you on a routine mission."
>"What is the purpose of your mission?"
>"Officially, we are investigating the radio silence of this poor undefended colony. But I think you and I both know the real reason we're here."
>"Have you deployed ground teams already?"

The man leans back in the chair, his vision straying away from you and towards the various guards.

>"Multiple. I expect they'll all surrender when they've realized what happened."
>"And do you have any idea what they've recovered so far?"
>"I'm afraid I was far too busy being shot at, old bean. But before we continue this conversation I need to know if I can expect to survive it."

>Awaiting input...

"Yes. I will drop you off at a no-name world with a distress beacon. All others who join you in surrendering will be there as well."

We aren't a monster... well not entirely.

With the changeling breakthrough I had a thought. Charlie has been wanting to make specters for awhile, but instead what if we just train normal people how to be competent special ops personnel? This way we can have a lot more than just us running around and if we actually find a "cure" we can make those who survive into actual specters.

did everyone die?

You have the ship set a course for new Albuquerque. It'll take about a day for repairs to be completed, and you'll be in orbit around New Ares for that time.

If you have the desire to speak to any crew now would be an optimal time, Commander.

I think we should talk with either our XO's or send contact to the republic and discuss what we can do

>>26364189
I wouldn't mind talking to charlie about the idea of trying to train men in the ways of the ghost.

After we say hi of course.

>>26364308
We are probably better training super-rines with low-level psionics than Ghosts (which train since childhood and then must survive missions in their "junior" years)

You stand on the bridge. The metal shielding over the damaged window still sits in place. The Nomad floats outside of it, repairing the damage.

>"Credit for your thoughts, XO."
>"Bad stroke of luck today, sir. But our combat effectiveness isn't anywhere near where it needs to be. We might want to consider getting our hands on a shipyard so we can make some significant improvements to the ship."
>"You're saying I should look at assaulting that Dominion shipyard?"
>"Not yet, sir. We'll need a heavier fleet, first. But if we can get the Daluke properly outfitted we can punch a hole through a planet."

You nod to him slightly, and watch the repairs for a few more seconds. Eventually you grow tired and give the XO the bridge. You pass by the bar in the living quarters.

Mia, Henderson, and the pilots and crew of your flight deck have gathered.

The pilots stand at attention and salute you. You dismiss them with your own brief gesture. Mia looks at you with a grim determination.

>"All due respect, Commander, but I don't like your move one bit. I understand forcing a surrender, I understand losing pilots, but you handed the ship right back to that Dominion officer. Who's to say he isn't going to jump right back to Dominion space the first chance he gets?"

>>26364658

Turn to Henderson and say "Henderson, what would I do if I thought that he was going to be a threat and/or betray us by just "jumping back".

He is no doubt going to indicate that we would have killed him faster than you could say "dam".

We also are a ghost and his mind didn't lie about his intentions.

You can sense that she's angry, but not at you. She still feels like justice hasn't been served for her wingmen. As long as you keep her distant from McCarthur it shouldn't be a problem.

You continue on past the bar to the adjacent Mess Hall. The remaining members of the Helldogs, Barney, and Jessie are at a table with your cook.

You decide that your infantry isn't particularly concerned with anything yet, and continue on.

You hear the familiar sound of someone boxing one of the combat dummies in the training room and investigate. Charlie is sparring in close combat with one of the drones. She waves you over to her when she notices you.
