I get back to the Celestial Chamber and put the cloaking device on it's charger. I sit down on the floor and eat a ration bar and try to get some sleep. I hear laughter. I get up and I draw my sidearm and point it around the room. "Hello? Is someone there?" I ask. I hear laughter again. "Show yourself..NOW!!!" "Very well." To my left I see the air shmmer revealing someone I recognize rather well. "Well, if it isn't a devil in a blue dress. what do you want Count Iblis?" I say. "Don't you act so flipant with me!! I made you and if you continue I will kill you where you stand!!" "I left your order yarhen ago. You don't have dominion over me any longer." I said. "Oh? Don't I? You are getting a bit too inependant for your own good Hawke." With that, he pulls out a silver box. "What's that?" I manage to ask and he speaks into it saying "Institute directive five nine two three." My mind goes blank and I hear myself saying "By your command." I'm powerless to do anything.
"That's better. Now my friend,I have a very special mission for you. The things you have been doing so far is childsplay compared to what I have planned. Let me ask you a question. How close are you and Commander Sheba?" "We have a working relationship that's all,Sire." I hear myself saying. "Alright. Your mission is to kill Commander Sheba. She and that wretched Apollo wronged me yarhen ago. I want you to make them pay for thier lack of vision. Your primary target is Sheba. But if the opprotunity presents itself kill Apollo also. Confirm." "By your command Sire." I say. "Yes. That's a good little pawn." he says and disappears.

I access the portable terminal that I brought with me and sent Commander Sheba a message.
"Commander Sheba:
Meet me in the Alpha landing bay at 2300 tonight.. If our relationship meant anything to you, you'll come alone. No blackshirts,no other warriors,NOBODY. Don't tell anyone about this. I will know. I need to explain what's happened to me. Don't bother tracing this message. I have it routed through every term on the ship.
See you then,
Captain Hawke"
I send the message and await the time to see Sheba.
