Storming the Palazzo

Our Empire ain't what it used to be innit? No Crown jewl of our empire India, No penal Colony of Australia or New Zealand. But the Regime planned to retake it saying it was truly for England. We're doing the same after we've took Florida until we hit the Confederate border in Maine. Puerto Príncipe is getting the states of Louisiana and Alabama after that slaver empire is delt with.

I'm writing this in a shell of a building which once held gamblers from high class society. The Palazzo is silent we're cautious about sending squads in every now and then snipers fire upon us killing our officers and Com guys.

Radio Freedom is somehow broadcasting here mabye we set up a relay or something.

I'm being mentioned on the radio as a up and coming young leader, they played my messages throughout Florida on hacked loudspeakers.

Saki lets just say she's brutal with combat in close quarters I'm good with a machete and a pistol but jesus, it's like something snaps she continues to stab even if they'd already died. Then she stops looks up at me smiles and says some in Japanese all whilst still being covered in blood.

I've authorized that our not needed fleet be sent to Admiral Sakurasawa's hold outs.

As i put the lid on my fountain pen Saki climbs over the shelled walls playfully and sits next to me. I continue to clean up my journal and i put away my templar necklace in my jacket, she looks confused by the necklace like a cat enamored by the simplest thing. "Where'd you get that necklace Garcia it's so shiny," she says reaching for it in my jacket "Uhhmm....high ranking officers like me and Minene get them from the Lieutenant General," i lie out my teeth she looks suspiciously "really so you are not a Templar?" she asks coldly this takes me by surprise every single thought is going through my mind "i do say how do you know about The Order?" i rebuttal she blushes looking away "I read about the past the crusades when your order emerged," she says looking down at the ground "Lies...lies we emerged longer ago if you believe the legends," i say coldly she looks up confused.

I begin to enlighten her about the history about all time periods that we were there influencing everything. I don't tell her about the precursors not yet...

I hear a sniper shot ring out then i see a bullet dart past Saki's head i jump up grabbing Saki and climbing up the wall another shot rings out it grazes my neck but i still bleed. The men on the ground begin to look for the Sniper "Get in cover ready the RPGs!" i yell whilst picking up one from a truck.

The air is still and silent then i spot a scope glint i fire it shoots out i throw the empty RPG on the ground. I grab my rifle i scope in on the impact site seeing a impaled trooper on a sharp pole. The buildings entire top floor is on fire it'll spread.

I begin to walk to my command tent. As i walk into the quarters i place my weapons on my table. I take my jacket off and lay it on my bunk, as i lay down Saki enters the room happy as ever. She slowly walks towards my bunk. I make space so she can sit down "Y'know you have a bunk right?" i ask she laughs "but yours is comfier and plus I'm so cold," she replies whilst resting her head on my stomach "uhhh...okay just don't do anything i wouldn't do," i reply embarrassed. She crawls towards the pillow and rests her head next to mine. Her breathes are fast i feel her warm body on mine, i eventually begin to fall asleep. But the last thing i saw before falling asleep was Saki still wide awake...
