Chapter 9 leadership
3 day had pass by since the defrosting of mankind. About half of the pods had been open up and the humans had been taken out and place in room while H-units ran test to see how their bodies were reacting to the medic gel and from being waken up after 10000 years. None of the humans knew about the attack that Yorha had done against the council ship, nor did they knew about the council and all the races that were out their in space.
Commander White were currently sitting in her office, going through 4 profiles, all of them were human candidates for the new leader of mankind. All of them had some political career before they were put into cryo-sleep, now it was just a decision on who was the best one to lead mankind.
Their was Kelvin Morson, the first human to be awaken. He was 37 years old and had been governor over a province for at least 5 years. He was the youngest our of all the candidates but he might not be up for the task. He was focus more on keeping law and order up, which was not really what was needed at the moment.
Next were Sara Robertson, age 48 and had just like Morson been governor prior to been send to cryo. She had been one that handle agriculture, this was something that was needed indeed. At the moment their was food for mankind for about 3 years with all the crop and wild life that Yorha had gather. But having someone that was more knowledgeable in the field was better then having them doing this, going of old text that was almost dust really.
Next were Emil Landskog, age 53 he had been a military general and been the leader of a rather violate area that had descend into chaos as million of people die during the virus outbreak, just prior to the first alien war. This was a tough choice for White to make, one the one hand he would most likely be for war against the council even if they were outnumbered massively. More resource would be us to strengthen Yorha and the android army, to fight either a new defensive war or an offensive. Which would be bad for mankind as they would not get their resources that they needed nor would it guarantee that they would be safe. But it might lead to a more united goal on what to do.
The final one were Samuel del Toro, age 70. Out of all of the candidates he had been a real politic that had run a country, a small country but none the lest a country. He had the skill and knowledge that was needed right now, the only fault was his age. If he feel ill or were close to dying, then H-unit would be needed to be around him 24/7 and most likely move him back to the moon were most of their medical equipment were.
White sigh as she look over the profiles again, any one of them could really be right at the moment but one of them was going to be chosen for this task. She look over Morson and Robertson again, these two she felt would be best. Morson would maybe think over what was best for humanity at the present while Robertson might concentrate on food program.

Four days later
/
Kelvin Morson were sitting in his special made room, it was stainless white from the floor, walls and roof. The bed were white with black blanked, next to it was a black night table. Also in the room were a desk made from oak he had been told, on it were data pads containing a history over Yorha´s 10000 long war. The last 7 days had been frankly boring, all he did was read the data pads, sleep and eat. Once and twice going to the bathroom and then repeat with reading. He understand fully why he was in here, he waited for all of mankind to be waken up, and for the result regarding his body to be done. He sigh as he put down the latest data pad that he was reading when his door open up and as he look at it he was expecting H6 to walk in but instead it was an Yorha unit that he had never seen. She was tall then H6, had longer blond hair and instead of a full body dress with a red cross on her chest, this one had a white dress that was separated from the white gloves and leggings. She was in Morson´s eyes a very beautiful woman, or well android.
"Hello mister Morson, I am Commander White of Yorha." She said bowing before she enter the room. Morson got up from his chair and fix his clothes a little.
"Commander of the Yorha units, well I did´t expect to meet one such a high-ranking individual. If I may ask why you are here."
"I am here cause you along with 3 other people are being plan by me to be the leader of humanity."
Hearing this made Morson back a little, holding on to the desk for supports.
"Oh,,my,,,I did´t think that I could have any chance at being that, from what I can remember of my political life it was mostly making laws and making sure that it was enforce. I am I really worth of being the leader of humanity."
"Yes, you are as I said one out of 3 other that has a chance of being leader. I have not been able to decided on which one of you it should be, until today. I was planning on tell the newly elected leader about this information, but now I have come to the conclusion that informing you all about this and then see if you would still want the offer was the best choice."
"And what would that be?"
"Sir, we are at war with an new alien race. This one is by far much large then the previous one."
Hearing this Morson started to go pale a bit and sink down to his chair.
"Sir are you ok." White said as she walk up to him.
"Y,yes I am fine, just a bit shock from hearing these news. For how long?"
"For just about 5 months. One of the alien races fleet pass through something called Mass relay, which acts as gateway to travel the galaxy. We tried to make them leave us alone peacefully but the refuse, and when we told them we were android they went to attack us. The believe that we Yorha are machines and these aliens are hostile any kinds of sentient life form that is not fully organic, a fear they have gotten after one of their races´s made machines rebelled. We have had to fight them off 3 times so far and we have won all of them."
"So,,you have fought them back defensively and in order to protect us human.?"
"Yes sir."
"Right, so were do we stand now with them? Have we been communicating with them since then?"
"No sir."
"I see."
"I wanted to tell you sir about this so that you knew what we are dealing with and give you some thoughts on what too do, I will be telling the other candidates about this as well." White said as she bow before leaving Morson´s room. Morson meanwhile sat back and went over more of the data pads, focusing on anything that was related to these new aliens that White spook off.
Two days after that White had told Morson and the other candidates about what had been going on the last 5 month, she could announce that Kelvin Morson would be come the first leader for humanity and Yorha in 10000 years. Sara Robertson had pass on being a leader after hearing the information regarding the aliens. Same went for Samuel del Toro, stating that he was to old. Only Emil Landskog were the one that was Morson opponent, and as White had suspected he wanted to go to war. While she was not against it fully, the sheer ridicules of resources he wanted to use to wage the war was too much for her to stand behind on, Yorha did not had the troops that he wanted nor the chance that he thought to win the war really. So that was why she had chosen Morson, while he might not the best one to lead base on knowledge and leadership skill, he was better then a warmonger. A week later Morson was transfer to earth along with the rest of humanity. They were given house and places to work in, their work was base of what their databanks said their skill was. Some got to work with Yorha on the farming fields, other got to work on creating laboratory and workshops that were needed. All the heavy duty and most dangerous work were done by Yorha or the resistance androids that were there to help out.
Morson and his adviser were given a large building that overlook the small community that Yorha and the androids had made for humanity. From here Morson could see all the work that was going on, by those that he had been chosen to lead. He still could not believe that he was the leader of humanity and that their was so few of them and they were at war once again.
A few day pass by before he called Commander White up, as their was something that he wanted to tell her.
"Premier Morson, what can I do for you."
"Commander White, you told me that these aliens, the council has been attacking us on three separate occasion."
"Yes sir."
"Well next time they enter our sol system, I want you to sett up communication between us and them."
"Sir, may I remind you that they ha-
"I know full well that they do not trust AI or sentient machine life as they see Yorha. But as I read through the data pads upon that topic I came across the morning wars, between the Quarians and their creation the Geth. From that war it shows that the council can be talk to regarding those who created AI, and comes with some terms. You and I don´t want another war, that would be the end of both Humanity and Yorha along with the androids. So that´s why I want to set communication up with them, to get terms across that leave humanity, Yorha and androids alone from them."
"I see sir, I will keep that in mind if any council ships enter our system."
"Thank you, commander that was all, have a pleasant day."
"You to sir." White said as the communication was cut, Morson sat down and went back to his work.
(A/N this might be the last chapter for awhile, I got my finals coming up to do so that will keep me busy. Then I got vacation for 3 weeks that means that I can´t work on this until after that. I do hope you enjoy this so far as much as I do and have a nice summer.)
