Back to Blake:

After several minutes of silence, Blake was seated in between Hammer and Shield, as she held onto her teacup. She couldn't help but shake the feeling of being stared down like a kitten that had entered the den of lions but the silence was disrupted by Hammer clearing his throat and trying to get Blake's attention.

Hammer: " I can promise that we won't harm you with any of your questions, so speak what's on your mind, Miss Belladonna." 

Blake: *She takes a deep breath and then exhales before she begins to ask him a question "Where are you from and what is the Greater Good?"

Hammer: *Begins to explain who he and Shield were and the Greater Good origins and how it brought many small branches of minor sentient races together ranging from the cannibalise Kroot to the flying Vespid as he also mentions some human populates are also part of it.*

To Blake, it sounds like a dream come true as she believed in how humanity can co-exist with alien life but it was all shut down as she slowly remembers what Taylor said about how they killed innocents for the Greater Good but hoped that wasn't the case.

Blake: "What Taylor says... about innocent getting killed for the Greater Good is true...."

Shield: "....."

Hammer's expression turns from happy to sad as he knows what she meant he was hoping not to explain that bit but he knew he would have to, Blake could tell that she just stepped into some sensitive. 

Blake: "I'm sorry for bringing it up"

Hammer: "It's fine Miss Belladonna. From where we are from everything is in the grey... there are no heroes or villains, those who proclaim to be the hero in the eyes of the people but they do unspeakable to their foes, plundering innocent planets, destroying homes, assaulting the population's wives and daughters..... I have not been a knight for most of my life, I had a simple life...a home....and a beautiful wife...

Flashback on planet Drade E62:

(A.N: From this point to the end of the Flash Back this is being foretold from the point of view of Hammer so don't ask why they don't speak in their language.)

Drade E62 was one of many few planets that were in full control of the Tau Empire as it was located on the edge of its borders next door to the Imperium. As the planet was suitable to house more than 500 thousand mixes of Tau and other minor races, the scenery of the land was breathtaking as it was left untouched by the conflict occurring throughout the galaxy. Among the population lies a young Tau that would be known as The Hammer of the Tau Empire.

Younger Hammer would be seen working on one of many personal projects being full of ambition and creative ideas he seeks of one day he could make a perfect creation that will aid the Tau in their conflicts against their foes.

Young Hammer: "Come on almost there.." *He would be seen working on a Remora Drone in his little office as he was mumbling to himself before sparks began to fly out as he began to curse to himself till he could hear some calling for him.

???: "Hun, breakfast is ready!"

Young Hammer: "Coming hun!" *He would place his tools onto the desk before he got up and made his way to the dining room, He would slowly take a seat among the four chairs that were at the dining table before he could see a female Tau enter the dining room while carrying two small bowls.
