A prelude to chapter 4

Zenethia's Journal entry . Date . 6548.376.485

General Zenethia: High admiral of the Thryxal star fleet, Mistress of war, Destroyer of the Lapatuski threat, Direct war advisor to the Empress of Zylothria. 

Attempts to negotiate with the human known as Joss have failed. Out of desperation and fear for the well-being of Second Princess Xyrae as well as the rest of the imperial clones and myself, I have resorted to going against the better judgement of her majesty. A weapon has been constructed by the specialist on this expedition to cause temporary impotence in the target. Sadly due to a lack of knowledge on the part of the specialist, and a lack of subjects, it is only speculated that this weapon will work as intended. However I have been informed that the subject will not be harmed by the weapon. Due to the dire situation, I have issued my most trusted assassin and spy with the weapon, and ordered that this 'Joss' be the subject of her mission.
