I laughed and rubbed the back of my head. "if you can believe it I was actually a slave to a Drakus named Typhus" I replied with my eyes closed. I opened my eyes again and looked into my tea. "I've always been different to the rest of my race. I don't know why but even when I was still with my mother all i was interested in was fighting. I had always planned on joining the military and it was just fortunate that we were a free race when I reached the legal age to join." I told her with a smile. "When I retire I plan to have a family but until then I will do what i can to stay in the army" I added.

"I was in the Military, The Sovereign Fleet fighting Skiliean Raiders, Fighting down here on the ground. Its so...noisy...hot..." Alex said and folded her arms thinking "Up there, there all you hear is the sound of the engines behind your head, your own breathing, radio chatter. and all that separates you from the endless void is a few inchs of glass" Alex said and smiled

"I haven't been on the ground there, but i have in other places. Sometimes the noise gets too much and you feel like you want to cover your ears and wish it all away but instead you grit your teeth and force the fear back" I replied and sighed. "You gain friends one day then see them killed the next" I said and sighed before I smiled slightly. "Sometimes it's better working alone. though it does get lonely" I added.

"At least its cold in space" Alex giggled at little and smiled "So...you were under Typhus's heel huh..that must of sucked" Alex said and smiled "I met him once, during the peace." Alex said and frowned "My father call him a runt.... I guess i know why" Alex said and smiled "But hey if the Corps win, you can be a consumer slave like everyone else" Alex said with a smile

"Eah, was alright I guess. I was about 12 when i started so he basically left me alone for the most part since i was underage at the time. I was really naive back then so i had no clue what he was planning for me when I reached adulthood" I said and shrugged. "I'm just thankful that they were driven off for the second time by the time i reached that age" I added with a smile and finished off my drink. "Oh I had placed some more pain killers into your tea so you weren't in too much pain" I added.

"well for one, we are going to wait till your healed to at least 80% then we will get those from your ship if they haven't been caught by that time and then we will turn off the guns, get a message to the infiltration team that wants on latona that they are down then get you and yours out of here on one of the ships. And in this time lets hope my cover hasn't been blown and if not then I'll head to a new house and continue my spying till new orders come in" I told her and smiled. i crossed my legs and placed my hand on my chin. "Yeah I think that's the plan for now anyway".

"Shouldnt you be worrying about helping you people or something" Alex said and smiled, She had began to admire this Latonan Major that had nursed her back to health. Over the next few weeks Alex regain most of her health and reports of the Elcor fleet battling above the planet, instead of sending small teams Elcor had come with Republic help to Liberate Latona from the Drakus and over the next few days a full scale war was being fought Across the skies of Latona.
Alex had found a way to get onto the roof of Hayley's and lay on it at night watching the fighters flash across the sky, the fighting had hardly began on the ground as she gazed up into the night skies of Latona.

"they will be fine, peace loving freaks they are" I laughed and headed off to continue monitoring the radios as well as check the computer systems for the layout of the weapons we needed to find. Over the next few weeks Alex and I became better friends and I was determined to make sure I didn't loose her to this part of the war. I was able to find a few of her people hiding in other house's and made contact with them on the days I went out to get food and information. I went to the roof of the house and sat beside her and looked up. "We will soon be able to go and shut off the weapons systems" I told her and looked up to the sky. "When we do I'll trip the planetary alarms for the Latonans to get to safe places before war his the streets again"

"Ya know it just occured to me that there needs to be a reason that the Corps are here, so i was wondering. Did you know theres a huge deposit of Tillium here" Alex said and smiled "I dont think i want to be a part of this anymore" Alex said and sat up and looked at Hayley "What are you going to do after this is all over?"

"Wait for my next assignment i guess. But first things first, got to get this one done and get you off this planet before war pulls you into it" I told her and looked at her. "I do know from our history that we used to be a big trader of Tillium to the other planets but when the Drakus took over the planet the trading stopped and it just faded into history everywhere" I replied and shrugged. "the old mines are still safe since we had tried to start it up again but we weren't free long enough to make it work again"

Alex smiled and scampered over Hayley to rumage through the new brought food supplies before she lay down and looked at the sky again "You see that" Alex said and pointed at a ship in low orbit "thats the ship I was on" Alex said "this will be one of the longest times ive been on a planet during the war" Alex said and sat up "In the middle of the fighting and I feel at peace...Weird" Alex said

"I wanna be up there. Fighting. Hell I wanna be fighting down here. I miss a good fight." I said and pulled an apple out of the bag and cut a small slice out of it with a pocket knife before eating the wedge. "but i was best for spying here, being the only Latonan able to blend in yet fight when needed" I added and looked up. "Once we get the weapons down we will get you back to your ship" I promised.

"if you don't get paid, give me a call and I'll send you what they should have. Most of my money just goes into the bank. I have no family to give it to so it just gets used for food on my assignments and that doesn't cost much" I told her and smiled. "If I could I'd take you with me on solo assignments. more just consists of spying and/ or just making sure things are running smoothly".
