Skeonmon

Few days have past since the vanguard of the invasion force were sent to the real world. Skeonmon roosted in her dark chambers as she sorted through data displayed on her personal terminal. Various fossils adorned her chambers as the aged dead had a comforting effect on her. Though right now this comfort was lost. No word had returned from the Black Lord since he left with the Vanguard.
A proper leader would take matters into his own hands to see the completion of his goal, he would say. Skeonmon dug her bony nails into the digimetal of her wall as she hissed low at the thought of losing his leadership. The other officers could take control of their squads without him, but who would take control of the officers once they realized the seat of power was gone? The risks of the invasion, the data loss in entering the real world, any manner of things could go wrong.
"Skeonmon? Are you in there?" A voice was heard from the nearby intercom. Holding a button on her terminal, she speaks back.
"Yes I am. What are you bothering me for?" She hissed in return, some of these peons had impeccably bad timing.
"Argomon would like to speak with you, concerning the vanguard."

"Where?" The most important question.
"He will send you details if you agree to the meeting."

"I do." A message appears on Skeo's monitor from Argo, he'd been listening after all.

"Meet me in the Master's chambers. With haste, this is urgent. " The message read.

Taking herself up, she opened her shutter door and made way through the halls with her deathly grace. If Argo finds it urgent, then it must be. Seeing everything in more steps ahead than any mon has right to means all the more. From the high officer's corridors, it is a short trip to the black lord's chambers. Argo must have selected them because they are the furthest from the lowers and most of the high officers know, save for those that are only in their position for pure power.

The shutters open as she nears, Argo is inside, still operating on a holographic monitor with his ever closed eyes. Acknowledging her presence, he closes the window and faces her direction.

"I have news to share with you." Argo's voice is solemn and almost monotone.

"And only I? None of the other officers?" Skeo already knows the answer, yet she would have it comfirmed by this... thing.

"You are the only one that can be trusted, concerning the master's status right now. Some Officers he won with force, others, with words. He won me with words and you-"

"Purpose, like all of the others." Skeo snapped. The hollows of her skull betrayed no emotion, yet the ruffle of her feathers did the job her face would.

"As you say." Argo submits in his monotone and proceeds to reopen his holographic monitor, it rapidly boots, a file opens and he pauses as he looks to her. "This recording came in roughly an hour ago. It was captured via the cell phone that received the Master's digiegg."

"So there's word? Does he have instruction? Is the human acceptable?" Skeo's concerns rise to the surface in a barrage of questions as Argomon's lack of words silences her.

He plays the audio feed, two voices are heard in the feed, the first, sounds like a young human,"-top doing that! You already ruined the pantry like that!"
The other giggles like a lunatic as a series of explosions are heard,"I'm Hitler! Save all the juice! Down with the proper-ganda!"

"Stop bouncing around! Any more bubbles and I'll feed you Dish Soap!"

"Nope! We don't need gentleman here. I'm a goose!" Annoying quacking progresses for a while before the human voice shouts back

"You little turd! Geese don't quack! An- What. What are you doing?" A grunting noise is heard faintly. "What.. What are you doing? Wait, no!" the sound of defecation is heard with a sigh of relief and then a large 'slurp.'

"Hehe! Tastes like taco juice." Argo turns off the audio. Skeo's feathers seem pale as she shakes violently

Skeo begins shrieking at Argo"Wh-what. What happened to him!? None of the other reports showed these symptoms from compression! This is a disaster!"

Argo holds a finger to his lips and slowly shakes his head. "Please control yourself. These chambers are soundproof, yet they say that the Network has eyes and ears in strange places."

Skeo takes a few deep breaths that ring hollow in her fossilized mask."Explain this." Skeo finally forces out in a hiss.

"As far as it can be told without one of us there. It seems that the Master has gone mad in the transition." Despite Skeo's apparent lack of composure, Argo has maintained his monotone.

"What of the others in the vanguard?" They did not know about the master's excursion, she feared for what would happen if they found him as he is. Then, a thought occurred. Despite the data loss required for the transfer, and despite the madness, could the Black Lord have retained his potential? She visibly calms as she considers this, all would not be lost from the mess of the master's rash decision. Most of their followers were subdued by his formidable power and given a greater purpose.

"The others in the vanguard have retained their senses and are already in the second stage, the first should arrive at child stage within a day or two."

"If the Black Lord had arrived safely, he could have issued commands through communications. "The cell that received him is only relaying encrypted signals back to us to prevent the others from knowing."

"Can we send to it?"

"Messages? Certainly."

"Good." Skeo had thought of a way to salvage this. "Thank you for your report, Argo. I'll see if I can't bring this around somehow." She puts a talon to the bottom of her fossil in a ponderous manner,"What have you done to keep that dog busy? Surely he's upset about not being at the Black Lord's side?"

"Master sent WerCereberumon with a squad to harass the network and throw them off. He went begrudgingly, yet left all the same. Skeonmon, what do you have in mind?"

"Only the best interest of our leader, and ideals." Skeonmon leaves with regained composure, she would not accept their plans failing due to the leader's loss. If the more unruly officers found out, there would be a coup, if the network found out, there would be an attack. If both happen at once, all is lost.
