Prison Camp outside of Vancouver, January 5th 2187 06:00 Earth Time

Romulus enjoyed rather nice accommodation by these people standards and accommodation that could put even the emperor to shame by the Empires standards, he got a upgrade after he started talking for the first time and now he could even go outside to a courtyard to meet his soldiers and soldiers that originally attacked this world.

Today however another round of questioning awaited him. He was currently being walked to the interrogation room he so much hated. When he entered, he saw the always dimly lit room and the always 'smoking' as they call it, interrogator and to his surprise General Caulus, the one that led the attack into this world and Count Formal of Italica, everyone believed he was dead.

The Interrogator started "Now that all of you are here we can begin. General, Count and Legate, I have a few questions regarding people you enslave in your campaigns" the general got really annoyed by this and wanted to voice it but was silenced by a fist to the face. The Count was more sympathetic and nodded, signaling he will answer it, Romulus was still contemplating.

The man continued "And if you provide valuable enough information, we might release you to the care of Italica" when the Count heard that, fire ignited in his eye's he tried to stand up to ask a question but was forced back down and the Interrogator said as if he knew what the count wanted to ask "Your daughter Myui is all right"

"Now onto the questions, Where are the Slaves taken after a campaign" the General refused to answer but the count instantly did, "They are taken to one of the slave markets and sold there, most of the time they are taken to the Imperial capital and sold there" the General was taken back by this betrayal to the empire and tried voicing his displeasure again but once again was silenced by a fist.

Romulus nodded confirming what the count said, then the Interrogator asked "What happens to them?" this time Romulus said "The Males are sold as slaves mostly used in mines and the Females are…are used as sex slaves" a Map appeared at the table and the 3 prisoners were allowed to stand up and walk up to it. The Interrogator said "Show me the mines that buy the slaves"

The count said "I don't know exactly where the Mines are, but they are mostly located in the Mountains here" he pointed at the mountains dividing the continent in 2 Romulus then went ahead and pointed to the map and showed a few roads on it "These are the roads that are used to transport slaves from the Gates and from the Capital to the mountains." They then sat back down

The Interrogator put out his cigarette and for the first time stood up and walked up to a blue light on the wall and pressed it, the lights finally got turned on in the rest of the room and they could see the Agent interrogating them. He payed them no mind and continued to do something on the Light, then a Blue Man appeared in the room.

"Yes, Agent Smith?" said the man, "Prime Minister, I think you need to see this" he then did something on the light again and the Blue Human did something too. "Is this true?" asked the blue human to which the 'Agent Smith' said "Yes sir, the prisoners are still in this room" the Blue man said "Agent, forward this information to Admiral Hackett, I will authorize immediate deployment of N7 to get our people back, I don't care for the negotiations" the Agent nodded and the Blue man disappeared but shorty after was replaced by another one, this one much older.

"Yes Agent, what is it?" asked the old one, "Admiral, I have very important information regarding our enslaved people, I talked to the Prime Minister a moment ago, he wants you to send N7 for them" the Admiral did something just like this 'Prime Minister' and after a while he said "Thank you Agent, I will give the order Immediately" The agent asked "What about the Request?"

The admiral said "The Legate and count are granted, the General however is staying" the agent nodded accepting this answer and the Blue man disappeared just like the other one. The agent turned towards them and said "Consider yourself lucky, if it were up to me, I would have killed you a long time ago" and walked out, all 3 of them were taken outside the Count and Romulus in a different direction then the General.


Road to the Capital, Special Region, January 5th 2187 13:00 Earth Time, 23:00 Local Time

Brutus was the leader of this slave transport, he had 50 slaves from the Icarus gate and was transporting them to the Imperial Capital slave market to sell, his group was the last one, there were 2 others, larger than his, a day or two ahead of him. He would make a killing off of them, a slave cart from the Capital was camping for the night with slaves sold to the mines. But he Slaves got a bit rowdy when all of their orange lights on their Arms lit up, and they started to cheer. He didn't like it and was about beat them together with his guards when the guards of the cart fell dead.

"Intelligence outdid themselves this time" said a N7 operative while another one presumably said "Shut it, we are moving in" they 2 stood up and moved up to the slaves, 2 more shots sounded and 2 more guards fell dead on the ground. When they arrived at the Slave group, they opened fire on the remaining guards, 4 new bodies were added to the kill count.

All the Slaves immediately livened up and started cheering at the people they recognized as N7 commandos opened the carts and another Commando came rushing with a Red medical box. When the Commandos came around the cart, they saw a picture they froze them in place for a while.

3 naked women lay there motionless, what happened to them was obvious, this newfound rage caused the Commandos to execute the 2 Guards they took as prisoners. And a medic came rushing to the women on the ground, soft sobbing could be heard.

2 Commandos came to the last cart and opened it, in there they found Demi-Humans and a Human with Asian looking face. All of them were scared of them until the Asian recognized that what they were holding in their hands were weapons, then he immediately rushed out and hugged the commando and started crying.

The commando hugged the man back, letting him cry, who knows what he had to experience. A Medic approached him and took of his helmet revealing a Japanese face he spoke to the man in Japanese to see if he understood "Its alright now, you are safe" the man hugged the Medic now and the other Commando went ahead to call in the Kodiak

"Can you tell me your name?" asked the medic and inbetween the sobbing you could hear the man answer "Hiroki…please, you have to save my fiancé too, please" the medic said "We are working on it" and started checking if the man was injured anywhere.

After the Action happened 2 Kodiaks showed up and the former slaves were loaded in and rushed to Icarus medical facility.

The Talks that were to come were going to a tense situation.


Authors note: This takes place in the same day that Chapter 6 ended. And yes this is a filler but it will be relevant to the coming story
