While Uxoon and Mara's group were heading toward Pallas, Uxoon said, "I forgot to mention this, but the Hive live on Pallas. They are probably giving the Space Pirates one hell of a time."

Mara heard that and said, "Hive will be there."

Uxoon said, "And Cabal. But mostly Hive. Only a small section of the asteroid is Cabal. The rest is Hive. And the Space Pirates are in the middle of both Hive and Cabal territory. So they fight for the rights of that space like everyday."

Variks said, "I never been on Pallas, but he seems to be telling the truth about the Hive and Cabal being there."

Vevkiks said, "Agreed."

Ivrevis, Intelligent Key said, "According to my scan of the asteroid from here, 95% of the asteroid is all Hive. 4% is Cabal. And the remaining 1% is Space Pirates."

Uxoon heard that and said, "No wonder why you are known as the 'Intelligent Key'. It fits you perfectly."

Ivrevis said, "We shouldn't fly near the base. It's got anti-air weapons planted there."

Uxoon smiled and said, "I know that. I've done research of my own."

Mara said, "You never lost your edge it seems."

Uxoon said, "I like to be ahead of my enemy."

Ivrevis said, "He has a point."

Uxoon smiled and said, "Leave everything to me. I got this. But I must warn you about the Hive over here. They will appear from under the ground. So be careful. Jump scares are a bitch to deal with."

Everyone heard that and then Obalziks asked, "Why did you leave the Reef?"

Uxoon answered, "I thought that it was time for new leadership. And I was right. Mara Sov here has been doing a really great job. I was right to choose her as the heir to the throne."

Mara said, "Thank you."

Nikyr said, "Now that leaves only one question."

Uxoon heard that and then Nikyr asked, "What happened to your wife?"

Uxoon heard that and then answered, "I just killed her."

Mara said, "The Dreg was your wife."

Uxoon answered, "Yes. They turn any alien into Fallen. Well, only if they think that they are worthy of joining his army."

Everyone heard that and said, "I'm sorry. We didn't mean to bring that up."

Uxoon said, "Don't worry about it. We're coming up on the asteroid now. Buckle up everyone, this is going to be a bumpy ride."

They all grabbed a hold of something and while they were flying to Pallas, Ceres Magmus landed on Ceres. Julia wrote down, "Do the Vex still occupy this planet?"

Prakas answered, "Yes they do. 75% of the planet is still theirs. We've been taking territory slowly. We only own 15% of the 25% that they lost."

Julia heard that and then Prakas said, "The remaining 10% that we don't occupy are occupied by the Cabal. A new faction after the Red Legion fell. They are known as the Green Legion. Led by Emperor Tagar. And his second-in-command, Dominus Khal. They don't operate here on Ceres. They operate somewhere else. I don't remember where."

Julia nodded and then Prakas opened the hatch and then said, "The Vex attack everyday. And we are prepared for their attacks. The Green Legion attack us once in awhile."

Julia heard that and then a Vex teleported in front of them and Julia saw that and Prakas punched the core of the Vex and it shattered into pieces and Julia saw that and then said to herself, "Hellions are scary."

Prakas said, "Follow me. I'll take you to where we need to be."

Julia nodded and then Prakas took her to the front entrance and then the guards put their spears out and they stopped and they said something in their language and then Prakas said "The boss has been expecting her," in his language and then they heard that and then opened the door and brought their spears back and walked into the base. On the speakerphone, Awigyk said, "I'm in the Test Chamber, Prakas. Take her to the Observatory."

Prakas said, "Yessir."

Awigyk said, "You'll find Riktor there waiting."

Prakas said, "Understood, sir."

Awigyk smiled and then Riktor started pacing back and forth. 2 minutes later, they appeared within the Observatory and Riktor saw them and said, "Ah, Prakas, my favorite soldier. You completed another mission for us. What would that make it now?"

Prakas answered, "Lost count after the 75th mission."

Riktor laughed and then said, "I think that you need a raise, Prakas. Maybe a leader of a group of Fallen. We gotta ask the when he arrives."

Prakas said, "I don't mind staying like this."

Riktor said, "That's what I like about you, Prakas. You do whatever is necessary to achieve greatness. And to survive."

Awigyk appeared saying, "Hello again, Julia. How long has it been?"

He waited for an answer and then he sighed remembering that she can no longer speak. Awigyk said, "Don't answer that, I totally forgot that you were a mute now."

Awigyk was about to tell Prakas to go to his post, when Riktor said, "Sir, I think that we should give him his own team to lead."

Awigyk heard that and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Riktor answered, "He's completed more missions than anyone here in this base. And always comes back unscathed. Just like me. I think that he deserves it."

Awigyk looked at him and asked, "What's your name, Hellion?"

Prakas answered, "Prakas, the Ferocious."

Awigyk heard that and said, "That's right. I have been sending you on missions a lot lately because of your success rate. Atratras, Lazy Partitioner is no longer cutting it. We're not getting anymore territory. I want you to lead a team and take them out. When you are done, bring me Atratras head. Riktor, go get him a team. I need some alone time with Julia Law."

They said, "Yessir."

They took off and then as soon as the door closed, Awigyk took out a pad of paper and a pen and handed it to her and said, "Now we can talk. How long has it been, Julia?"

Julia wrote down, "13 days."

Awigyk smiled and then said, "I have a mission for you actually. The Green Legion on this asteroid is led by Primus Tau'uam. He's been planning something for awhile now. And we haven't been able to locate his forces. Do you have any suggestions? You know more about this place than I do."

Julia wrote down answering his question, "The trees planted on the asteroid are artificial. The Vex were trying to colonize the asteroid to make it one of their new homes. And almost succeeded till the Green Legion appeared. So they are hiding beyond the forest of trees."

Awigyk said, "I see. I want you to go there and eliminate them for me. They own 10% of the land on Ceres. We need the territory."

Julia wrote down asking him, "Why?"

Awigyk answered, "Only one species can run a world, Julia. You should know that. That's how Earth is."

Julia heard that and then Awigyk said, "Will you do it, or will I kill another Human that we captured from the Last City?"

Julia heard that and then wrote down, "I'll do it."

Awigyk smiled and said, "Good. You'll be going all by yourself. Good luck."

Julia sighed and then Awigyk took off back to the Test Chamber and Riktor reappeared and asked, "Is it over?"

Julia nodded and then Riktor said, "Then this way."

Julia followed him to the armory.
