Author Notes: So I almost forgot about this FanFic, however I recently got a few comments that made me decide to keep writing it. I know that this is A shorter than short chapter, but it is just to allow me to really get into the story. I would like to offer a big thanks to 'legend Chloe' who has given me a bit of advice and commentary. Enjoy! Oh yeah the story and characters belong to Marie Lu.

His cloak hides most of his face, and what is not hidden, is shrouded by the darkness of the room. The messenger approaches towards him slowly, his steps echoing across the room, careful that his posture reveals nothing. Without turning from the large window the man speaks.

"what news do you bring me?" his smooth and modulated voice cutting through the stillness of the room. The messenger immediately snaps to military attention. "the attack was fully successful Grand Admiral."

"good. It appears that all is indeed going to plan." He responds. The messenger gulps, almost slightly.

"unfortunately sir, the team did have one small problem." The figure turns, his red eyes bearing down on the messenger, the only thing visible in the darkness.

"June Iparis was wounded in the attack although how seriously is uncertain."

A long pause is held by the man, his red eyes searching the messengers face. "very well." the cultured voice comes again. "we are still prepared. Be ready to initiate phase two of the plan."

"yes Grand Admiral." Responds the solider, and with one quick salute, he briskly strides out of the room. The hooded figure turns back to the window, and continues to admire the view of the factories working diligently. A slight smile creeps to his face.
