-Chapter 11-

Standing in front of the viewer Purevenom pointed out where he wanted his insurgents to go giving out specific details on their back stories and objectives. John simply took notes allowing his lordship to finish plus using this opportunity to think on how to implement them into his own plan. Thinking how impressed he was Purevenom had put a lot of thought into this plan and was very thorough on many details most people tend to forget. As the briefing comes to an end John simply nods his head "It shall be done."

Purevenom waits a second thinking to himself that this was not like him. He was more notorious for throwing his opinion into his theories trying to make him seem not a capable leader, this wasn't like him. "That is all you have to say?"

"What more do I need to say? I will confess it is a good plan not to many holes if any I can see."

Hesitating with his answer Purevenom finally concedes with a simple "Thank you."

John finally gets out of his chair "You do however need to start working on your facial expressions."

Purevenom giving him a unique look "What do you mean?"

"You do realize that you are no longer wearing your helmet… so the faceplate no longer hides the expressions you make. Right now you are displeased as if you expect me to react negatively towards your plan, truth be told I don't see anything wrong with it and I'm impressed if that you came up with it." As he leans up against the counter "I will start making the arrangements to get them in. Let me know when you are ready to deploy and they shall be there."

Resigning to John's confrontation "very good." Pausing for a second he gives a more serious expression "I have reports of certain resources going to your lab… what are you working on in there?"

Not really ready to give up his new design he decides to spin a lie "I was working on designing you a new body."

"…and?" Eager to hear the developments the idea of leaving his chambers without the armor excited him.

"No new developments it was a total loss." John face seemed solemn his hope that he would believe.

"I see well then I'm sure you are busy" escorting him to the exit chamber to see him off "of course keep working on the body, but more important contact me as soon as the arrangements have been made for getting our units into the Colonies."

"Of course Excellency" he exits out the door shutting him out of the Sanctuary.

Purevenom stood there for a second making sure that John didn't forget something he returned to his room sitting in his chair he grabs his drink and with a sly smile on his face "Do you think he was lying to me?"

Kona dressed as one of the servant girls set her tray on the table and sat in the chair next to him "He seemed genuine regarding the plan, but something told me he liked the plan to much as if it worked with something he was planning."

"What about the project he is working on in his lab?"

"Oh that was a lie without a doubt" Kona said with surety in her voice "he is definitely working on something though but I'm not sure it has nothing to do with you."

"Well considering one of the things he requisitioned was a Hybrid body I think you may be right." Swirling his drink around "To be honest I wasn't sure how you would react to my design."

"I can see your concern" she said not trying to lie to him "he is playing a dangerous game with your life if anyone else learns of the deception he very well could get you destroyed, and nobody other than him and now me would know the difference till it was too late."

"I'm sure it wouldn't bother him one bit" getting out of his chair he sets the drink on the counter "You must never let it be known that you know what model he used, I feel the Simons are important to the Legion and this would surely get them boxed if there Imperious Leader was portrayed in this manner. If John gets his way and something does happen wipe my memory out of your mind it will only do more harm than good."

Shaking her head she concedes to his request "I don't like it but I will obey."

Realizing the time he begins to head to the changing room "I will escort you out of here."

Objecting "I don't think that is a good idea since your revelation in the war room, it would be better that we are not seen together."

"Very well" starting to get dressed "you still need me to open the door." Exchanging smiles they leave his sanctuary heading in separate directions.

Entering his private study Leoban begins sifting through the books that he compiled from the Geminon ship, vaguely he remembered something that resembled the story that John and him were investigating but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Looking at the mountain of books he realized that this might take some time. Grabbing one of the books he begins scanning through the information deep inside something told him that he was heading down a dark road, but at the same time that same voice told him to proceed on. A few hours have passed when all of the sudden he hears a slam quickly getting up to investigate he finds John looking at some of the other books that he had laid out. Looking around trying to figure out he got in there without him knowing "Where did you come from?"

"You don't think I didn't know about your little hiding place…" getting out of his chair he approached Leoban behind his mound of books "I just didn't know what you were doing in here is all."

"I needed a place to store this stuff is all?" Hoping John wouldn't take the room away from him.

"Brother, who do you think I am? I'm not some evil dictator if anything I think it's great that others are beginning to expand their knowledge and in that use the empty compartments in the ship."

"Well I have…" grabbing the book he returns to his seat to accomplish his reading.

"Anything new regarding our conversation?" apparently fishing for anything that he could find.

"I did find something that was interesting…" grabbing another book he opens to the section that he marked. "Right here it says: The snake will be self proclaimed and be capable of great things that no other of his kind can achieve and with that power he will cast a shadow on all who opposes him except the one who has came from afar. That right there is the only thing I can find referencing the snake, there are some things regarding Vipers and Snakes but that is out of the scrolls of Pitheia and I don't think it pertains."

"So who is the one who will come from afar?" John was beginning to not like prophecy with all of the mix meanings it is amazing anyone can understand them.

"Doesn't say" closing the book he plops it on another pile, picking up another he turns it to his other marker "Now the Pillars of Creation I think I'm reaching but right here it says: As the Pillars of the house of the twelve gods burn the ashes are scattered throughout the stars looking for the creation of their parents they will find the path to their lost sibling."

John stands up grabbing his face he growls into his hands "That makes absolutely no sense to me."

"I'm starting to see a pattern but I need some more time if you don't mind I would like to move my studies into the Hybrids chamber I believe she might help me make more sense of it…"

Before he finishes his statement John interjects "fine, fine just don't come to me until it makes sense to you" keeping his hands to his face he makes a discouraging sound "Fracken prophecies…" as he leaves the room.

Leaving the room he proceeds down the hallway when he notices a six at the end of the hall walking towards him. Their eyes make contact and John begins feeling anxious as their stares continue until they pass each other, remembering the incident in the war room John's paranoia begins to erupt.

Entering the Command Center he takes notice of another Kona working one of the data streams. John couldn't get the feeling that he was being watched out of his head he sees his fellow one and approaches him. "Till I say otherwise dear brother I no longer want the sixes to have access to anything important. Resend their clearances until we have been able to verify were they all have came from."

The other John leans towards him "Do you believe we have a security breech?"

"I don't know, but I want to be sure."

"Of course brother" the other John immediately begins working in the data stream, when completed he moves in the center of the room and begins to address the crew "Ladies and gentleman if I can have your attention. All sixes due to a situation that transpired by one of your own we will be verifying all of your security clearances until then please report to the conference room for processing." Nodding back to his brother he turns and grabs one of the Doral's and begins whispering in his ear.

John happy with the results returns to his Lab to finish his work, still in a bind on what to do with his prototype he decides it's time to figure it out before it was too late.
