Fuck Sloane
To: Alcia, Velnaria, Hercus, Amuus, Maius, Tanion
From: Kaetus
It's time to defect. Report to Voeld, where you will start taking orders from Flavius Burrus. We're the vanguard for the re-establishment of the Turian Hierarchy. More will join you as soon as I can slip them out of Sloane's notice.
Keep an eye out on any salarians that are willing to help.

Fuck Sloane
To: Kaetus
From: Amuus
Not to look a gift giver in the hands, but can we trust Flavius Burrus to have the best interests of the turian race in mind? He's working with Paullus Milonius. Paullus Milonius is known for his ruthless tactics, even compared to the Hastatim.
Amuus
Fuck Sloane
To : Amuus
From: Kaetus
You're working with Flavius Burrus, not Paullus Milionius. You answer to me when you don't answer to Burrus. I understand your concern. If It were Milonius demanding out help, I would have refused him. Burrus is a respected scientist renowned for his work in alien biology.
Kaetus
You Have a Plan
To: Kaetus, Tanion
From: Alcia
What are you expecting from us? Aside from ensuring that Sloane is kept in the dark, there is a lot to be done that would be necessary before the ranking can be put in place. We can use Milky Way precedent to help us establish the ranks, but not all turians want to re-establish the ranking or even the hierarchy.
Alcia
You Have a Plan
To: Kaetus, Alcia
From: Tanion
Alcia is a correct in that we would need to have turians willingly submit to the ranking and the hierarchy. It would all be voluntary at this point. Politically speaking, our survival is dependent on all the races working together to keep the Kett at bay and to build the mass relays that would allow us to travel between clusters with the faint hope we might one day be able to be an FTL jump away from the Milky Way again.
This is a delicate subject that needs extra sensitivity. Heavy handed people are not desirable for this step of the journey.
Tanion
You Have a Plan
To: Alcia, Tanion
From: Kaetus
I trust that you'll be able to work out the finer points amongst yourselves. A word of caution. As I do not yet trust Flavius Burrus completely, whatever you create should be distributed among the collaborators before it is introduced to Burrus. We are thinking of the future, regardless of our differences amongst ourselves. We are not prejudiced. We will accept help from other races if they are willing to help us rebuild the turian legacy.

Pillow Talk
To: Alcia
From: Tanion
I know you. You have something in mind already, my lovely avian. I look forward to hearing your thoughts tonight after I come back from one of Sloane's pointless patrols. Do me a favor and try not to aggravate Vern again. I know you hate him, but he's useful and he's capable of killing you when your back is turned.
Yours Always,
Tanion
Pillow Talk
To: Tanion
From: Alcia
I will 'behave' myself, but I make no promises. You better come back alive. I'm not the marrying type, that doesn't mean that I don't want a long, long future with you. And only you.
Yours Forever,
Alcia
On The Count of Three
To: Hercus, Velnaria
From: Amuus
This doesn't feel right. If it looks like we're being set up, we probably are being set up. We should have a contingency plan just in case. What the boss is asking for is a noble cause, I just don't want it lost to a madman's grab for authority. I say we kill Milonius and spare ourselves the future trouble.
On the off chance we can't kill, Milonius will need a shadow on him. Salarians are good at this. The Resistance may even aid us.
Amuus
On The Count of Three
To: Amuus, Velnaria
From: Hercus
Our best bet is to go straight to Evfra De Tershaav. He's had years of decisions like this, and he doesn't want another extremist like Akksul in the cluster. We can't handle the Kett, the Roekaar, and Milonius's ego all in one pool of tension. Something's gotta give, and I'm doing giving. I refuse to sacrifice anymore respect than we've already given away.
Hercus
Dumbass
To: Hercus
From: Velnaria
You're full of it. This is all the fuel that Evfra De Tershaav needs to condemn us further. You think that his position as a General in the Heleus Military made him more amiable toward our races? It's only a matter of time before he rallies the Angara against us. I haven't forgotten how the Roekaar are intent on wiping us out along with the Kett.
Since we have to work together, I'll look past your stupidity. That doesn't mean I'm about to be supporting us asking for the Resistance's help in keeping an eye on Milonius.

What A Crack Team You Have
To: Kaetus
From: Maius
I have to question your choice in recruits. Most of the people that you've listed are young. Alcia and Tanion work in tandem with each other and don't know how to operate without one another. While endearing, what happens if one of them dies? Velnaria and Hercus came together to this cluster and survived the Nexus. Both are inexperienced when it concerns politics, and they're both idealists and prone to panicking when the situation goes to shit. Amuus has authority issues that stretch beyond his general disregard for Sloane.
You'll have to excuse my skepticism that this team can accomplish the tasks you set forth. They'll make a valiant effort, but any real success will not come from these inexperienced fools who can't even function on their own without someone to lead them. I trust that you have a master plan, and that the master plan will somehow compensate for these shortcomings. I only fear the costs that will be required to turn these fumbling recruits into a fine tuned unit.
I hate to ask this, but maybe it is best if we were to raise this issue among the general populace – to get the idea flowing between individuals and let the momentum build. That way no one can specifically target us for revenge. How can they pin a moment on you or I when in reality it would have been several thousands of turians that collectively decided this was right for them? We go to the Nexus, spread around the word about a summit for turians interested in reforming the hierarchy and ranking, and then cultivate officials who could direct our people as best we can.
As the elders in this group, we need to consider that these young people can be corrupted.
Maius
What A Crack Team You Have
To: Maius
From: Kaetus
The corruption can spread both ways. I understand your concern and your plan to float the hierarchy and ranking to the general populace should be introduced at one point in time. It is not this point in time. I understand the thought behind it, and I agree.
I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the youth's ability to accomplish tasks. I do believe that team work will be required for them to move past soft planning and into hard action. It shouldn't be hard to convince people to rebuild with the efforts currently taking place. Governmental buildings are in place on Meridian, Eos, and Voeld. Havarl and Aya are off limits to the Milky Way races right now, but given time that may change in generations.
My reach is shortened by my loyalty to Sloane. You'll need to scout out recruits and analyze them on your own in the field. I trust your work. I trust your judgment. If you find anymore like Milonius, send them toward a Roekaar ambush so that they're more useful in eliminating our enemy and less set on trying to destroy our proud image.
Kaetus
What A Crack Team You Have
To: Kaetus
From: Maius
For what it's worth, I find your dedication to the future admirable. You need to remove yourself from Sloane Kelly before she taints you. People already consider you an exile, a traitor without honor. I know that's not true, any turian that ever worked with you knows this. The rest of the cluster should know that too. Reyes Vidal isn't much better, and the peace he wants to bring to Kadara is nothing more than a dream. Dreams don't fill our empty bellies.
I'll keep an eye on the young ones. You just watch your back.
Maius
Your Recruits
To: Flavius
From: Kaetus
I have people heading toward Voeld. These are people who can take orders from you and you only. They are to see to the longevity of the turian race, not to dash the honor of it. I know you think that Milonius is leading the good fight, but his fight always ends up one way. He turns the galaxies against turians and he msut be extinguished.
These people also answer to me and if anything happens to them, I will have retaliation. They are not your fodder. They are here to build. They will create the hierarchy and re-establish the turians as a respectable race instead of another race that the Roekaar are determined to exterminate. We will differentiate ourselves from the humans, salarians, krogans, asari, and angara. We will make a difference here, and we will not falter. We will not back down.
If I hear even a hint that you are abusing them, I will retract their efforts and energy. Good luck.
Kaetus
Your Recruits
To: Kaetus
From: Flavius
You do not need to fear me meddling in their efforts. Milonius has all of us up to our eyes in pro-turian missions. These people are virtually on their own unless they need my help. As far as I'm concerned, I have no control of your people and as far as Milonius is concerned, they aren't mine either. They're independent. They'll stay independent.
If I hear wind that Milonius wants to use them, I'll send them back toward Kadara or Elaaden.
Thank you for your support. The future thanks you.
Flavius
