Illuminatus bounded up the landing ramp of his ship, hoping the others were behind him. He stood on the bridge, priming systems and starting up the ship's engines. Swiveling his chair, he turned to face the others. "Has Jet spoken of this to anyone?"

"No, Jet didn't, but since we aren't using the Predator Ship, can we at least dock with it quick, so me and Blade can get our stuff and a small number of predators" said Shadan

"I don't see why we would need preditors" Arllien said
"Besides with that beast we fought, how could you not already have what you need? Me and Arllein don't need anything else."

Katie helped Yuki onto the ship, so seh didn't fall or stumble, for she was still a little weak. Katie looked up and saw Vragen. "Vragen!" She exclaimed, ecstatic to see him.

Tetsu stumbled onto the ship, seeming drunk but certainly not. "Sup?"

"No problem. Besides, I've had dealings with Predators before, and they're a resourceful and honorable people. I wouldn't mind having a few of them aboard, just keep them out of the cargo hold- they wouldn't like what's in it. Now, let's get the hell out of here." The sleek, glossy-black ship tore from the hangar and burned its way up to orbit. "Before we get any further, we have to agree on one thing: to try and solve this with a minimum of violence. Remember, this is his organization. To attack him directly would be an act of terrible treachery, so if it comes to that, you must strike from Sarádwan with me." He looked at the predator ship growing closer to the window. "Is there some sort of code that needs to be broadcasted, Shadan? I don't think they'd take kindly to a strange ship just coming up and docking, pardon the sexual implication there." Illuminatus managed to say with a straight face and killed the drives.

"I'll do it" said Blade lifting up his arm band computer " My crew said to land in cargo bay 1"

The Eclipse glided in to the designated bay and engaged its magnetic coupling device. "We're all set, Blade. Why don't you go in by yourself though, I think I still have xenomorph traces on me. Please escort the strike team to the war room, where they should wait for command. We only need a small team, somewhere around threee to five."

Blade and Shadan hopped out and in five minutes got back in with 4 new predators and 12 crates full of weapons and armor. " Let's begin the travel and talk along the way"

"Sounds like a plan." Illuminatus aimed his ship toward open space and pushed the drive engines to maximum. The ship sped away, and then Illuminatus mapped out a Shadow Tunnel. "Hang on," he advised. "Shadow Tunnels are kind of rough." "We should be there within the hour. Now, we need to discuss what we're going to do. This is a highly sensitive problem, and so I'd like everyone's opinion before I make a plan."

(Is this going to be a guild war)
"Ok, I'll start" said Shadan"I say we infiltrate Jet's ship and capture him and order the Saragan Armada to go"

"There are several problems with that, Shadan. First, infiltrating Jet's ship unseen is impossible because he can sense us. Through the 13th field he could attack us from afar. We can't capture him, either, because he'd fight only to the death. As for ordering the Saragan Armada, they answer only to Jet and would turn and attack us in Jet's ship." Illuminatus bit his lip and checked a display on his visorband. "Yeah, this isn't going to end well." He began hitting keys on the console, projecting a holographic image. "Looks like we have enough." He turned to the others.
"I think the only way we're going to convince Jet to leave is if we bring our own fleet to defend Sharon. It's true they're a primitive planet, still using nuclear weapons, but they respect Sarádwans autonomy. I say we bring the Ravager, the Viper, three wings of ShadowCaster platforms and a full squadron of starfighters to the planet's north pole, then we set down on Sharon with our Predator squad and find Jet. Once we do, we convince him to leave and use our fleet as backup. Then comes the difficult part. If he refuses to leave, we drop our cargo in the city. That's 1,000 xenomorph eggs. The planet would be history within a month."
