"As a Ranger, it is not only my right to interfere, as you put it, anywhere and anywhen I see a threat to the Empire, it is my duty. Rebellion against the Empire is such a threat, not a `planetary matter'; Losinj was acting properly in defending herself to report that treason. She is guilty of no crimes, which is not true of the ones who obstructed her.
I've got to get moving on this mess. Out." The Emperor's image flickered blue, then disappeared. Hobison gave the Ranger a long, silent look before he spoke. "Rebellion, hmm? From the timing, I'd say this Thark's just been waiting for the war to end. That doesn't strike me as typical behavior for a rebel." "Same here," Medart said. "He's not typical at all, from what Losinj told me.
They were fine for the unTalented, like humans and now Traiti, but they had probably precipitated a disaster here on Irschcha. Their damnable stress on Imperial rather than planetary allegiance was to blame; it had deprived him of the strongest Talent to appear in many years, Corina Losinj and it would cost Corina her life soon, if it hadn't already.
Corina was awakened by the whooping of a siren, followed by a surprisingly calm voice on the ship's annunciator. "General Quarters All hands to battle stations. General Quarters man your battle stations. Rangers Medart and Losinj, Palace assault team, to the hangar bay, please." Corina scrambled out of bed and into her kilt. "Emperor Chang!" The ship-comp's voice was unchanged.
Hobison gave Corina a thoughtful look, then turned to one of the officers standing nearby. "Ensign Yamata?" A young female with a gold bar for collar insigne answered. "Yes, sir?" "You're assigned to Ms. Losinj until further notice. Get her a cabin and anything else she needs. You're relieved of regular watch standing." "Yes, sir!" Yamata said with a wide smile. "If you'll come with me, Ms.
If Ranger Losinj called him Master and showed him a degree of respect, a junior officer could do no less. "You have a warrior's word on that, High Adept." "That title is what I am testing." Thark's attention went back to Corina, and he struck with the full power of his darlas. It hurt, but Corina was able to block any damage and strike back.
"Since you name it both honorable and the best way to prepare for the service I hope to give Ranger Losinj, I will do my best to become such an agent." He paused, went on less formally. "If what you just told me about field agents having a position of special trust was known in Subsector Sandeman, any whose identity we knew would be honored, not scorned."
In a brief meeting before Medart and Losinj left for Irschcha, Nevan asked Medart's advice on how best to prepare himself should Ranger Losinj accept his personal fealty once he felt he had enough experience to be a suitable thakur-na.
Losinj, who is accused of assaulting a Sanctioner officer. He also demands we release Entos." "Send him in," Medart said, the casualness he'd assumed for Corina's benefit vanishing. "I'll handle this myself." "Yes, sir." The viewscreen went blank. Medart turned to Corina. "Did you assault a Sanctioner officer?" "That is a matter of interpretation," she replied.
With Losinj aboard Medart's ship, it is possible, even probable, that she will be helping him. Even if such is not the case, we must assume it is, and that means our first strike must be decisive. Valla, does this affect your plans for our assault on the Imperial Palace?" "Possibly," his aide replied.
