Resistance is Futile

News came as quickly as it had occurred. Supreme Leader Alaric au Emrys had been murdered by his own troops. The Germanic people had turned on their leader in an hour of desperation. None of them wish to die a pointless death struggling against the new regime that had come knocking at their door. 

And yet, nobody seemed to know just who had pulled the trigger. Or who had deleted the backup data of Emrys' memories and genetic structure? Erich found this to be suspicious, as did Tia, who both examined the footage of Emrys' so-called demise over and over again, looking for a fault in the story that was being told. 

"It doesn't make sense. There were billions of soldiers who remained loyal to Emrys, and would gladly fight until their last dying breath to preserve his regime. Even if the majority of the military and the citizens turned against the man, they could have ensured he was safely off the world. So how, how did one of his closest guard's turn against the man?"
