We're now all standing around my desk, a map of Sudra on it we're all looking at it not saying before the commander finger points at the east side of Sudra before speaking.
"The organisations base has been discovered, now we can strike,"
All of the groups, including myself, nod other than Daniel.
"Organisation?"
All are eyes all on Daniel, who's now going flush and looking down, I make the choice to speak up.
"Oh right, we probably should have started with that"
I pause replaying the information in my head to memory.
"The organisation is a group that has started a rise to overthrow the kingdoms. We have no proof, but we believe that they may be responsible for Lydia's destruction"
Everyone even myself has to have a double take, but that wasn't new knowledge to me.
"Oh"
Daniels voice broke the silence before I speak again.
"And we've also noticed that they has required more soldiers, willingly or not"
I see the shocked look on Anderson.
"Vhat do you mean? You mean like mind controlling them?"
I nod then the commander speaks up.
"Think of it more like brainwashing people, they've be tracking down people with the mind manipulation ability but we don't believe that's the only thing at play"
I can see Scarlets about to speak up as she walks around the desk.
"Ways being; torture, isolation, and possible hypnosis, but that's all what ifs."
Daniel now looks in fear, pure fear.
"And vhy don't the people know about this!"
He sounds angry now but when I open my mouth to speak, it's not me talking.
"We're under kings orders to keep quiet unless it gets dire, which for now we have everything under control, and"
Scarlet stops, shes debating on what she's about to say next.
"I just found out myself, so I'm not fully sure how bad this really is"
She sighs and I can see the look in her eyes, she hates that I kept this a secret from her for so long. But isn't she one to talk.
I nod at Scarlet.
"Indeed, other then the myself, only the king, the queen, and the commander knew, but regardless"
I look over at the commander and he gives me a small nod.
"The plan is to sneak out from the back and to hack the security defences Scarlet can help with"
He looks at Scarlet, she's still standing proud and with respect. It's like so was born to be a soldier. I smile at her give her a nod.
"I'm more then sure spark can handle that"
"Well"
The commander smiles.
"Let's get this going"
