Colonel Togo: Sir, the defenses have fallen. We are the last of the empires men. The Emperor has been killed and the princess has been moved it to hiding.

Isao Namba: We are the last? How can this be? We had such a powerful empire, we had the training, the rations, the pride, the weapons, of the Emperor. We have nothing left but our honor and duty.

Colonel Togo: I know, the Sirens have our once booming and powerful empire on it's knees.

Isao Namba: What about the rest of our men? How are they doing?

Colonel Togo: We are trying out best to hold them off, but it's to no avail sir.

Isao Namba: How important am I? It doesn't matter about rank nor who you are, we are all living beings.

Colonel Togo: Should I give the order to surrender?

Isao Namba: No, they will just kill us or use us for experiments.

Colonel Togo: Understood sir.

Isao Namba: I was supposed to protect his majesty.

You pull out a medal given to you by the Emperor himself and lay it down flat on your desk.

Isao Namba: Your majesty, if you can here me, move this medal.

The medal moves.

Isao Namba: Your majesty, should I join our men in the after life after an honorable death?

The medal doesn't move.

Isao Namba: Should I flea?

The medal moves.

Isao Namba: Have I failed you your majesty?

The medal doesn't move.

Isao Namba: **pulls out a sheet of paper and pen** Now.

You place the paper and pen behind you on a desk and ask the Emperor's spirit one last question.

Isao Namba: Your majesty, if you can still here me, can you please tell me my mission? Is my purpose to revive the empire?

You hear the pen move and then drop.
