Big Eyes, Small Mouth (BESM): Nexus Earth - Chapter Five: Prelude Harbinger

Justin OOC · October 29, 2008

Admiral Daitetsu looked around the room at Sanger, Elzam, Ryusei and the others. Things had come apart. The Federation was terminating everyone who had contact with the Terrans. Now all of them present were under the Execution order.

They watched in silence as dozens of autonomous mecha died fighting the vanguard of the Home Defense Fleet, as well as the Invader cruisers.

"I want options."

"We can try to wipe out the invaders, sell ourselves highly enough that the Fleet keeps us around." Ryusei tries.

Aya shakes her head "Life as cannon fodder doesn't suit any of us. Come on Ryusei."

"We could run." All eyes turned to the nominally quiet Latooni. "We easily can outrun the fleet and they will be preoccuppied with this system for some time. We could find a place for us to settle down and start anew."

Elzam nods. "But the Federation will follow us, and exterminate us to a man."

Sanger sighs. "We surrender."

Immediately everyone including a few minor aides stopped. That was a word never spoken by Sanger before.

"They would just kill us."

"The Macross would not. It's commander seems willing to dog us forever, but always stops short of wiping us from existence. They keep us from warping out, stuck beetween the incoming fleet and invaders and them.

I propose to challenge their commander to a duel witnessed by our officer mecha and theirs on Ganymede. if we win, they will no longer interfere with our attempts to relocate out further into the system or from it entirely. If we Win, we submit to them and become thier forces. We will have to fight the Federation eventually. I can think of no one I'd want at our backs more than those who could defeat us in honorable combat. We are the best of the Federation, and if they can defeat that then they have a chance ad enduring the power and assault of the home defense Fleet."

Several nod their assent. "Who will fight General?"

He smiles. "I will fight to the death with my Daigenguard. The victor will be the man and robot that survives."

Daitetsu nods once. "What say you all?" Heads nodded once around the table and he turned to Sanger. "Bargained well General, now see it done."

Noha was summoned to Sanger's office and was beckoned to Enter. "Seargeant, Recently I have been told that you are among the better of our young corps of personnel. I have a mission for you of great importance, but this is strictly voluntary."

Luchian · October 29, 2008

Noha stands at attention, his posture perfect, and uniform pristine as usual. He seems to disregard the compliment entirely. "General, I understand our current situation is rather urgent. I am at your disposable, as always." Noha continues to stand, waiting for the General to continue.

(((OOC: The disregard shouldn't come off as rude or smug. It just never occurs to Noha that being a good solider is worthy of extra praise.)))

Justin OOC · October 29, 2008

"Very well. I want you to prepare your mecha for an immediate Sortie. You will be traveling under a banner of truce to the Satoshi Flagship Macross, The ship we once called the Alus"

He nodded. "There you will continue to deliver the Fleets terms of an honor duel to be fought by myself and a champion chosen from amongst their own numbers."

You will remain there, awaiting their answer and then relay it back to us."

"The terms of the challenge are simple. I will fight in a one on one duel to the death with a warrior of their choosing using my DygenGuard on Ganymede. If I am Victorious, the Satoshi ships and mecha will harry us no more as we attempt to leave the system. If their champion wins, then our forces in their entirety will submit to them as the victor and fight alongside them as loyally as honor dictates."

The terms were fairly insane at this stage, but it was the only viable option remaining. "Is this something you still stand so ready to do?"

Luchian · October 29, 2008

Noha hesitates before answering, "Fight alongside the Satoshi?" He pauses, and regains his composure, which was beginning to falter. "Begging your pardon General, but is it wise to risk you at this time? Any of us would be willing to fight and die. Could you choose a champion instead?"

Noha pauses, and bows his head. "But that would deny you the honor of fighting for your crew and vessel. My apologies. I spoke out of turn."

He straightens his posture, and continues. "I will sortie, and deliver your message as requested. I will remain, and relay their Commander's response as soon as I am able. Atmos is on standby. We will leave immediately." Noha bows, and exits. (((OOC: That is, once it is obvious that he has been dismissed.)))

Justin OOC · October 29, 2008

Sanger nods. "I and Daitetsu are the last of the old Guard Noha. He must remain because Tetsuya cannot handle the fleet, but there are many of you young folk able to take up the banner in battle. As you said I am a leader, and a leader must never ask of others what he isn't willing to pay himself."

"Prepare yourself and launch immediately, the White flag you are to carry has been prepared. Go now and bargain for our future."

Luchian · October 29, 2008

Noha makes his way to the hanger. He looks at the white flag now attached to Atmos, and hesitates for a moment. He nods to the others that he is ready, and enters the mech.

He sighs to himself. "Alright, Brigit. This is strictly diplomatic. We're going to fly casually, and keep the weapon systems powered down."

This has to be the worst mission ever. If the General wins we're refuges. If he loses we're stuck helping the earthlings, and will wind up fighting our own people. How did it come to this? Stupid Earth. We would've been better off never finding this place.

(((OOC: Remember that Brigit is the A.I. personality.)))

Justin OOC · October 30, 2008

"Command acknowledged, weapons systems offline." Brigit's voice practically purred. The launch went well and soon he was in space, the boosters for deepspaceflight allowing him greater range.

There was a soft tone then a much harsher one as an incoming message arrived and his computer registered the hard lock of at least three targetting systems.

"Circinus Federation mecha Atmos, This is Satoshi Defense Force Ship Macross. We recognize the flag you fly under. State your purpose please." Coming from within a relativly small field of asteroids The Macross Emerged. Its main cannon was closed, but literally hundreds of smaller guns were trained on him. The launch of at least one flight of the enemy mecha called Veritechs registered on his computer and they made a beeline for him.

The whole thing was odd, the battleship didn't have to reveal itself, indeed the other one remained hidden.

Luchian · October 30, 2008

Noha takes a deep breath before beginning, "Satoshi vessel, designate Macross, this is Sergeant Bahram of the Circinus Federation. I am under orders from General Sanger to speak with your commanding officer." He involuntarily breaks for a moment before continuing. "I am authorized by the General to present the terms of an honor duel."

He takes another deep breath. "Requesting permission to board. I will slow approach for escort. All weapon systems will remain offline."

He awaits their response before silencing the com.

"Brigit, while on board I want you to monitor everything. And remember that no outsiders get access to you. Any and all means are allowable to prevent access to your systems. The General seems to think somewhat highly of these people, but that doesn't mean they're all trustworthy. Bring up any active attack restrictions. They're not enemies necessarily, but I want options, just in case."

Satoshi. I don't know if I could ever be happy calling myself Satoshi.

(((OOC: Anything in italics is just what he is thinking to himself.)))

Justin OOC · October 30, 2008

"This is Captain Gloval of the Macross. We will disengage our locks" With that the warning of targeting lock died. "Veritech squadron will Escort you to the hangar bay, our Liason officer Hunter will be there to hear the terms of this fight."

Brigit chirped the com once as the veritechs formed up around him to escort him in and acknowledge the Atmos's security lockouts being engaged.

He was guided into a massive hangar from on the side of the ship and one of the Veritechs landed near him. It's pilot waited for him to dismount before approaching his mecha.

"I am Captain Richard Hunter Commander of Satoshi Crisis Response Team Six. I will hear you terms for the duel and relay them to my superiors. For the duration of your stay you will be provided safe and secure quarters per the Ares Conventions of the Federation."

That this Terran knew of the Conventions of warfare that governed the Circinus Federation war machine was only second in suprise and a sense of awe of standing aboard the former Federation Flagship Alus. It was a ship held almost sacred, a weapon unsurpassed in military might.

Luchian · October 30, 2008

Noha tries not to look particularly impressed, but still takes a cursory glance at what he can see of the ship and its mecha. He nods at the Captain, and clears his throat before he begins to speak, "Very well Captain. The terms are simple, and rather standard. General Sanger wishes a one-on-one duel to the death to take place on Ganymede. He will pilot his Daigenguard, and your fleet's commanding officer may chose one of your rank as a champion to represent your people or fight personally, of course." Of course, that won't happen. "Obviously, this will be a mech versus mech battle."

He continues, "If General Sanger is victorious, then Satoshi ships and mecha will cease to harry our fleet. If your champion wins, then our forces will submit to you as the victors, and will agree to fight alongside your forces as honor demands." He tries to keep any hint of ire out of his voice. (((OOC: He probably has limited success. He is not really a diplomat.)))

He passes another glance, this one over the Captain (((OOC: Judge Opponent, not sure what to roll for that if anything))). "I'm sure you understand that General Sanger wishes my report as soon as possible. I can leave you to speak with your superiors, and will await their response in my assigned quarters."

Noha maintains perfect posture, as he awaits the Captain's reply, only letting his eyes occasionally stray elsewhere.

(((OOC: He does have 360 view, but with his defect, some stuff in the hanger might be able to steal his attention for a moment.)))

Justin OOC · October 30, 2008

(((OOC Need to make a mind check (roll 2d6 and add your mind score to the roll) for Judge Opponent. Go ahead and make a roll you can either do so using www.invisiblecastle.com or this site's beta chat and posting the link and the roll for invisiblecastle or copying and pasting the roll from beta chat.))

Hunter nods once. "Then I will show you to your quarters." He turns on his heels and starts walking through to one of the coridors leading into the residential area. He stops at one room and opens the door. "This will be your room for your stay. Make yourself at home. I will return with hour answer." With that he leaves Noha to his room and his thoughts.

Luchian · October 30, 2008

(((OOC: Judge Opponent roll: 2d6=9 + Mind 7 = 16)))

After Hunter leaves, Noha remains standing for a moment, still retaining his posture. So, it has come to this? Gambling our lives away, because our own people find us dispensable. Because of Earth. Because we aren't worth salvaging. Infected.

Noha paces around the room, surveying it briefly. He looks over what few books are available, but doesn't pull anything off the shelves. Could I do it if I had to? Could I fight my own people? I'm not a killer. I'm a soldier. There has to be a difference.

Eventually he sits, but doesn't lie down. He looks around at the nondescript quarters, not entirely unlike his own. I still have Brigit. I have the crew. Is that it? Is that all I have in the end?

He stands and fixes his uniform, even though it doesn't need it. Maybe it doesn't matter. I'll do what is needed. It doesn't matter what I have or what I want. I have my duty. That's what matters.

He stands back up, and starts to pace. After a few minutes, he finally pulls a random book off the shelf, and begins reading. He focuses on the words. His straying thoughts become less entangled, and eventually subside.

Justin OOC · October 30, 2008

Hunter's demeanor and the way he carried himself left utterly no doubt that he was a consummate warrior. He carried himself with the catlike grace of an Ace, and such a thing would fit with his claim to being a Captain of a full CRT. His determination was such that it could easily be seen that he was a man of great conviction, and he had the strngth to make hard choices.

About an hour later Hunter arrives at his room. "Seargeant, we're ready for you."

Luchian · October 30, 2008

Noha is putting the book away as the door opens, and turns towards the Captain just as he is beginning to speak. He adjusts his uniform, to make sure it's in order. "Thank you Captain. Please, lead the way." He exits alongside Hunter.

And so it begins. This is the long march.

Justin OOC · October 31, 2008

Hunter leads him to a the bridge of the Macross Where Admiral Gloval stands to greet him. "ON Behalf of The Satoshi Defense Fleet, I and my subordinates accept the terms of battle. You may return to your vessel in person or we can establish a com channel. I leave how you choose to relay the message to your discretion."

He could see outside that the Macross was already moving to the orbit of Ganymede, and that her systems were on high alert.

Luchian · October 31, 2008

Noha bows before the Admiral. "I told the General that I would inform him of your decision as quickly as possible. I believe that would mean establishing a com channel, so that we can all meet at Ganymede promptly." He waits for the com channel to be established.

As Noha stands aboard the bridge, he takes note of the crew and their positions, as well as the lights, and screens. He thinks to himself, this looks more like war readiness than preparations for a duel. Perhaps, the General has placed too much faith in the earthlings.

And where is the other ship?

Justin OOC · October 31, 2008

As if bidden from the void the pearly white and crimson Nadesico appeared, coming off the Macross's port side. A com channel opened.

"Sir, we have have The Enemy Flagships Kurogane and Hagane on open channel." Sanger and Daitetsu's faces split the viewscreen.

"Stand down from red alert, deactivate targeting computers."

"Aye Aye Admiral."

Gloval turned to Noha. "The floor is yours Sergeant, fulfill your mission."

Luchian · October 31, 2008

Noha nods to the Admiral. "General, this is Sergeant Bahram. Admiral Gloval has just informed me that the terms of the honor duel have been accepted. It is my understanding that they are set to rendezvous on Ganymede. I request permission to disembark, and rejoin the fleet, if I have no further business on board the Macross." He stands at the ready, awaiting the General's response.

Justin OOC · October 31, 2008

"Negative Noha, you will diembark, but only to join our officers on the surface. You will be among those who has the privelage of watching this duel in person. I will see you on the moon Sergeant."

The channel closed.

Hunter and the others looked to him. "Come along then back to the Hangar. Akito, Max and I will be flying down as well to bear witness. Our champion will arrive shortly after we do."

He exits the bridge and heads back to the hangar, mounting his Armored Veritech. next to him aa blue-trimmed veritech is preparing for launch as well.

Luchian · October 31, 2008

Noha follows Hunter to the hangar, and boards Atmos. He waits to follow Hunter and the others. After they exit the hanger and the com chatter dies down, he silences communications for a moment and speaks to Brigit, "I want you to monitor this duel closely. Whatever I miss, I want to be able to look back over your log. Regardless of who wins, this will be a battle worth remembering, and we need to learn everything we can from it. No matter what happens we need to be strong. The General can lend us some of his strength, whether he lives or dies today."

Noha sighs to himself. "Sometimes, Brigit, I wish you could be nervous or afraid. It might do me good to reassure you. Everything will be fine in the end. We're Circinus. We survive, even when survival is impossible."

Justin OOC · October 31, 2008

"That is our way." Brigit answers.

The two Veritechs are joined on the moon's surface by a Blue Mecha that Brigit identified as an Aestivalis. That would be Captain Akito Tenkawa.

Then the Circinus mecha began their descent.

The R-1, R-2, R-3 and R-Gun all descended in diamond formation with Ryusei leading the way. Lattoni in the Wildtraubier, and IRm in the Grungust completed the Circinus Federation contingent. They all moved to where Noha and the Atmos stood.

The Daigenguard made planetfall next, towering far above all the other mecha with the exception of Irm's Gungrust. He looks over to Hunter's Veritech, which stands roughly one quarter of the DG's height. "Who will be your champion Captain Hunter?"

A voice from the past answered. "I will be your opponent Sanger Zonbolt, I and my Shin Getter Robo." Descending from the sky was the unmistakable form of the Federation's laste Getter reactor powered Super Robot. It was a weapon of unmatched versatility and power, one that was supposed to have been long since destroyed.

"I Captain Ryoma Nagare, Captain of Satoshi Heavy Industries CRT-8 and overall commander of the Deepspace Expiditionary unit will be your opponent in this duel of honor. I fight unaided, thus ensuring the fairness of this fight."

The shocked gasps of Aya and Mai Kobayashi, in addition to Lattoni's "My God" statement essential summed up how the various Satoshi officers felt. One of their own who'd died yet lived. but now through their own code he served their enemy. The irony wasn't lost on anyone that he fought to now do to them what had been done to him.

((OOC The Shin Getter Robo is easily among the most powerful of all robots. That it is still even around is almost unthinkable. The fight is Fair as Both men are extremely capable fighters, but They are also the oldest of friends. 2 of the last 4 remaining orginal generation Federation warriors.))))

Luchian · October 31, 2008

The Fates are laughing at us.

(((OOC: Would I have been around long enough to have ever seen Ryoma fight?)))

On com, after the initial shock and awe: "It'll be a good battle. A fine death for whoever falls, and a worthy victory. Good challenge to you both."

The stars are shinning. We can still make our fate, Satoshi or refuges. Our spirits aren't dictated by the whim of destiny.

Noha goes quiet, and watches closely, letting Brigit log the events.

(((OOC: Foregoing the occasional interjection, do you just want to play out the duel yourself? I'm not expecting Noha to interrupt, even verbally.)))

Justin OOC · November 1, 2008

(((OOC Yes, Ryoma's skill is legendary. Sanger and he were rivals over the title of greatest Circinus warrior. He would haves tudied both of their careers at the academy and their maneuvers.

I will post the fight sometime this weekend and then we can deal with it's aftermath.)))

Justin OOC · November 3, 2008

"I always knew you hadn't died."

"I honored the letter of the duel, as all who witness shall."

The Daigenguard nodded, and drew its Zankatou. Shin Getter responded in kind, its wings opening behind it.

"Call your weapon Ryoma and let us be about the buisness of death."

The Shin Getter rose into the air and one of the spikes on it's shoulders started to extend. "Getter Tomahawk!!!" The weapon that sprang forth and was grasped by the Getter was no tomahawk, more like a great poleaxe with a wicked spike on the end.

Ryoma spun the great axe in a circle and using the downward momentum brought the weapon to bear against the Daigenguard. Blade met blade as the two weapons ang with a resounding impact. A crater fomred under Daigenguard from the impact, but the thrusters on its back flared brightly and launched into the sky, pushing the Shen Getter back. The "V" across the mech's chest glowed brightly and then unleased a torrent of fire downward at the Shin Getter. "Hyper Tronium Laser!"

A small lens opened in Shin Getter's abdomen as Ryoma answered Sanger's roar with his own beam attack "GETTER BEAM!!!"

The two massive blasts of energy cancel each other out, leaving smoke venting from both machines' joints. Just then Sanger follwed up with a boomerang swing of his thruster assisted zankatou and sent it flying at the lens. "OPEN GETTER!" The response to Ryoma's command was immediate and radical. The three ships that comprised Shin Getter Robo separated and flew into the air recombining back into Shin Getter Robo. The Zankatou returned and Sanger tried again, but this time he sent out both his drillboost knuckles as well. The sword missed but the both drills caught the Getter in the chest and left leg. Not killing blows, but another hit there would ruin either one. Ryoma's counterassault was impressive. Not even trying to hide his damage portions he came in hot and hard, blowing oof Daigenguard's foot with a getter beam even as he sliced deep into the the left shoulder and upper torso of DaiGenguard.

The battle went on, each damaging the other just a bit more with each exchange, soon someone would pay the ticket.

Their weapons both went flying after a brutal exchange. "Why are you holding back Ryoma?! USE your Ultimate technique.! Honor me at least that much!"

"I can say the same for you. The moves are all cheesey imitations of the original. Show me the move you perfected!"

They both nodded once. "Agreed."

The Daigenguard took up it's sword which seemed to grow to anti-capitalship proportions as The Mech's thrusters propelled it into the sky.

On the ground Shin Getter robo held out its hands. Yellow and green energy arced between its fingers and began to coalesce into a ball as The Getter reactor spiked to generate the immense power being demanded. The world around the Getter faded to where only the glowing green ports on it's arms legs chest and face could be seen, all giving off an eerie green light, as it began to draw back it's hands. "STONE...."

Above the Daigenguard began rocketing downward Sanger Roaring as the blade continued to grow. ""I am SANGER ZONBOLT, the SWORD that SMITES EVIL, now GO! Blade of the Shining Cloud, COLOSSAL STORM!!!!!!!" The blade came over the mecha's head as it began it's downward arc to destroy the Shin Getter Robo.

"....SUNNNNNNNSHINNNNNNNNNE!!!!" The Getter's hands came forth and the massive engergy blast sprang forth imapcting the falling Zankatou. For a moment the Titanic attack auras blinded everyone,, but dozens of tiny explosions rippled across both machines. Then larger ones started on the Diagenguard as armor vaporized and took internal structure with it.

Across the comlink which was still open they heard a severely wounded Sanger. "Goodbye, Saito, my son." The explosions grew and grew and finally one large massive explosion engulfed the Great mecha and blew it to bits, sending the Shin Getter Sprawling. The Zankatou returned to it's normal size and stood embedded in the Ganymede soil. Nobody moved, nobody spoke. The Shin Getter was more ruin the robot, having been utterly pushed to the limit. If it couldn't stand up then the fight was a draw. A massive red hand, began clawing at the ground, fining purchas and pushing the now wingless torso up. The entire left arm was gone, only melted armor and wiring hanging from it. The robot got it's feet under it, the whine and grinding of its servos sending sparks everywhere as it rose.

"I Ryoma Nagare, claim victory and seek to honor the terms of our agreement."

"Ryusei recovered quickly. "I Captain Ryusei Date, empowered by Admiral Daitetsu and General Zonbolt acknowledge your victory, and hearby submit our machines and personnel to your discretion, Captain Nagare." Ryoma stood the Getter up and pointed to the Atmos.

"You, take up the Zankatou. We will pass it on to his son, as it should be."

The Two Veritechs took up positions beside the Shin Getter as it's thrusters lifted it skyward slowly, then physically grabbed the machine to aid it back to the Macross. "Return to the ships Ryusei, and have Admiral Daitetsu prepare for an immediate intrasystem fold to Lunar orbit. We will regroup and reorganize there."

The R-1 saluted and took off into the air, leading the others. The Gungrust paused a moment, then vaulted into the air, changing into flight mode as it rose higher.

This left The Atmos alone on the ground, with the sword of one of the greatest wariors of Circinus.

Luchian · November 3, 2008

The power they posses. I'll never achieve a strength like that. How can we lose someone like General Sanger, especially now?

It takes a moment for Noha to respond to Ryoma, but Atmos lands near the Zankatou.

Will we ever recover from this? Even if we survive this war it'll never be the same. What will we become in the end?

Atmos carefully lifts the Zankatou, and rises to meet the others. There is no hurry in the departure or immediacy in the flight.

Brigit's sweetly even voice breaks the silence. "Noha, your stress level is not subsiding. Are you well?"

A moment or two passes before Noha responds meekly. It's a tone Brigit has never heard from him before. "No. I don't think I'll be well for a long time."

Atmos continues its flight, and they rejoin the fleet in silence.

Justin OOC · November 4, 2008

Once all the mecha are berthed in the bays The Ships execute a hyperspace fold. As soon as they emerge in Lunar orbit the Defense system activates only to be countermanded by Ryoma. "They're allies now, one and all."

Ryoma is rushed to Luna base's med center for massive exhaustion. The Stone Sunshine takes alot out of him with each use, even more so in a fight where he has to use so many big attacks. The Circinus Ship Hagane and Kurogane are boarded by Contingents of CRT-13 and CRT 8 troops, in addition to a fair number of CRT-4 Personnel.

Captain Hoshino herself comes up from Lunabase to inspect the ships and Mecha. It was an odd homecoming of sorts as Daitetsu recognized her, and Latooni recognized much of herself in Ruri.

Doors that should be sealed opened at her glance and literally nothing could bar her path as she headed straight for the Atmos, and the great weapon it had recovered.

She laid a hand on the massive blade, inspecting the nicks usage and time had given it. Her large yellow eyes seemed to be absorbing every aspect of the weapon's composition and abilities.

Her gaze turned up to the Atmos and a slight crease of a smile played over her lips. "Hello Atmos, Brigit, it has been a long time."

Brigit immediately responded, keying the speakers herself. "Unit Designate 001-A, You are well, this is most satisfactory."

"I go by Ruri now Brigit, I'm not just a machine."

"Understood."

Ruri's smile faded as she touched Atmos's right leg. Suddenly Noha could hear her voice clearly even though the speakers were off.

"You've taken good care of my friend Sergeant Noha Bahram. Please come down, I'd like to meet you face to face." The speakers were still off, yet he'd heard her as though she were next to him, combined with what his computer had just done, whoever it was out there was something truly special, and she wanted to see him.

Luchian · November 4, 2008

What in all the stars?

Noha gathers himself as best he can, lacking some of his usual self-discipline due to recent events. He had only begun to draw his mind away from the General's death, and now this person was speaking to his mech as if they were old friends. And speaking through it no less.

Noha opens the hatch, and makes his way down. Standing before Ruri, he speaks clearly, and with at least the continued appearance of resolve, "Captain Hoshino. I heard you would be arriving. I hope things are going well with the inspection." He turns his head only the slightest margin to look at Atmos. "I was not aware that you and Brigit are so well acquainted."

Justin OOC · November 4, 2008

"Everything goes well, though it will take several days to rebuild the Shin Getter Robo. The biocomputer servers and autonomous mecha look to be in perfect shape."

She smiles faintly. "As for Brigit and I, I designed her four years ago before..." She clams up a second. "Before Captain Hayami showed me there was more than being a weapon, a soldier."

"I am glad to see that she was incorporated into a worthy robot, and partnered with a good pilot." He could feel her gaze upon him, analyzing him the same way she had the sword.

"You were there and bore witness to the fight..."

"How did General Zonbolt Die?"

Luchian · November 4, 2008

More than being a soldier? Nonsense.

Noha does not seem affected by her inquisitive gaze. There is a slight hesitation before he begins to speak of the fight, but his voice is solid as he says, "The General died well. As well as any could hope for."

(((OOC: With Eidetic Memory, he will recall it perfectly, and so-2d6+7=11-I think 9 is sort of standard, and being rather fresh on his mind I doubt it would be hard to recall)))
