Chapter 11: The Runt

"Mr. Taunis, you failed to eradicate all evidence. Do you know what this means for us? No? THE C.F.M. HAS PROOF OF FUCKING PROJECT HELL!! YOU USELESS SHIT!!! YOUR FATHER WOULDN'T OF FUCKED UP LIKE THIS!!" Screamed the giant Draco.

"General Suad, can you stop screaming at the poor man? Besides, WHO'S brother is in control of said fleet that found it?" Spoke the decorated human.

"Shut your fucking mouth ape! This fucking RUNT just put us into a god damn sink hole!!!" The General replied Furiously.

Greg sighed, "Listen, I have only been in the Head Seat for like, 2 years? I'm 22. Give ne a break, I didn't exactly get a step by step on this shit before my dad stepped down and gave me his seat!" Greg said in frustration.

A distorted voice sudden spoke, "Mr. Taunis, I understand. You are under alot of pressure and everything, but you must remember when the WHOLE Avages interest and safety is at hand. General, you need to step back. He is still learning everything. Managing finances, distribution, projects, experiments, the boards, and pretty much the same stuff as his father. Cut him some slack!" The distorted voice spoke in a calm but very firm way.

"Listen, my house cannot be connected to this! If it's discovered we were involved in project hell, the other houses will turn on us!" The Brasnik shouted 

There was mumbling and chatter.

The distorted voice spoke again, "We will fix this, divert the C.F.M.'s attention or eliminate those involved! I have an undercover agent in the 6th fleet, would it make you content if I had him… oh I don't know, cause an error?" They said in a relaxed tone.

The General growled, "Yes, but this is my brother leading the C.F.M. 6th fleet! He wouldn't put the extracted information anywhere easy. Putting your agent at risk like that isn't going to work!" He shouted

One of the other representatives spoke up, "I could probably convince my boss to get our agents to stop them!" They said.

Greg shook his head, "Us top factions and organizations of the Avage Allegiance. General Suad, what did the Emperor say about this?" He asked.

"That we would wipe them with not just a fleet, but the weapon for the planets. I disagree. There is the pirates, who could record the events and get away by chance. My brother likely predicted we would send a fleet from the Avage, well known Avage powers and prepared for it. Calling allies of the C.F.M. to secretly move the data. The worst of it all, Dutch Tvankiv. The head of the 163rd Star Corps, is there! Along with the 35th Recon head, Vetea Lisnova! Both PA Survivors of Colony Ivbor! They might survive again! As kids no one believed them about the idea of a weapon, but as adults now!?" He said frantically but sure.

"Captain Tvankiv? The lowest Commander of the Star Corps? I thought he was replaced long ago!" Greg shouted.

"Admiral Suad apparently prevented it." Said the distorted voice.

Greg sighed, "Well, if Taunis sent a fleet. We would lose! I can't spare any combat fleets and the truthfully, most of our fleet ships are meant for defenses!" Greg pointed out.

The voice spoke up once more, "Mr. Taunis, currently the 6th fleet is positioned in a unamed system, one used by us to make the Hells Incarnation. Currently, they're about to initiate a full assault on a Gola infestated world. My friends, we must send a fleet not of the Draco empire nor Taunis. To target the V.C.S. Amora, it has the data currently! Do we agree?" The voice spoke uninterrupted and unrivaled.

Mumbling and chatter began.

The Brasnik spoke up, "Is there a Brasnik in the 6th fleet?"

"Yes, a member of the House of Archon. I don't got too much on him. Um… Nubasik? Is his name." The distorted voice replied.

"Fine, we will use a bs reason to attack the fleet and target the V.C.S. Amora! *a notification sound went off* HA HA HA, It will be easier now. The House clashing has come to a stop with the House of Fate! I'll get their assistance!"  The Brasnik said with a laugh.

"So we are sorted than? Good. Make sure you update us, Devil…" the distorted voice exited the call after that last statement.

Greg Taunis exited the Holo call room.

He was sweating and back at his desk, he began to make a rum on the rocks. As he began to drink it, the call light was beeping.

He swallowing his stress and answered.

3 screens popped up, on the screens was an older man, a man in his early 30's, and a women in her last 20's.

Greg sighed, "My brother, sister, and DAD! All in a call, this is rare!" He said mockingly.

"Shut the hell up boy!" Shouted his father.

"You! YOU! How the hell could you leave such a major bread trail! Dumbass!" Shouted his brother.

"Our great, great grandfather founded this company and set courses with the Avage! Securing our position after the take over but you're fucking this up!!! How did you leave such a trail!?" Screamed his father.

His sister stepped in, "Are you that fucking dumb? Father! The eradication phase was on you! You failed to cover the tracks, Gregory here just sold them the area of the trail without knowing it." She said quickly and confident.

"For fuck sakes! Thank you! You can't blame me about that shit! That I should of been told! Also, old man! How about you tell me about project Hell! You made me head seat but never mentioned it!" Greg shouted.

Greg's older brother sighed,  "I helped with the locating and financial part of it. Father orcastrated the whole project. Our dear sister here wasn't involved, but it might be best to keep her out of it. No loose strings. We will call you back Margaret." He quickly said.

His older sister looked angry before exiting the call.

"Now Greg, Taunis realized even with the Avage Allegiance at our sides. We weren't going to pave a proper course for ourselves or the Avage Allegiance without something powerful. Project Hell was that 'something powerful'. We had found a previously used but unclaimed system, the New Horizon Expansion Project. Our pioneering ancestors, had discovered something. Something large, powerful, and almost god like. Using their previously given estimations and information. Combining it with the whole Avages resources, we found out this creature had a migration pattern. Yes, a creature Greg. When we pinpointed its possible positions, we outsourced and actually managed to capture it. By "we" I mean the whole Avage. We lost many fleets and good people to it." His father explained.

His son Greg was astound, "So, what was it exactly? The creature?" He asked curiously.

"I'm afraid son, I was never told. Likely for good reason, but we tell the Avage we need it. They use it, but they limit its use but we are not restricted from it. I'll send you the G.T.M.I. access and clearance information, but be very careful! Bring your sister back in now." Their father stated something that both of them found to be fearing. Such power would terrify even the wielder.

As the sister came back into the call, they continued scolding.

After a long 30 minutes of scolding the call ended. Just for another call to come through, but Greg had been waiting for this one.

He interacted with the call system, making it secure. 

"Delson!" He said.

"Cruix" the voice replied.

"Good, it's you. They gave me the information needed to continue our next phase. So, your suspicion was right, the Avage made a weapon. One very powerful, I got access codes to give me authorization to use it." Greg reported.

The same distorted voice from the holo call began to talk, "Good Greg, I'll contact you for further instructions. We will bring the Avage down and expose their war crimes! I'll inform my councilmen." It said very happily.

"My father thinks that I'm just the RUNT of the family, but this runt will bring down the most corrupt and sickened force ever! That will be my mark!" Greg said with pride in him.

"So we know the House of Devils and Fate are now aligned. They will attack the 6th fleet and claim a false reason for attacking, which will be the Archon Brasnik in the 6th fleet. They won't get him though, not with Dutch near him." The voice stated.

"Why? Is the 6th fleet gonna really let many die for one?" Greg asked.

"No, I have information showing that Dutch, was gone for roughly 3 years. This occurred roughly 1 year after he got his bionic abilities and was put under the custody of a C.F.M. official, Dutch's ship was attacked by the house of Exiles amd was assumed dead when no one found him amongst the wreckage, but no public knowledge that is, but some information and data shows that Dutch. Might of joined the Archons and considers Nibasik a brother, but keeps a distance to not rouse suspicion." The distorted voice explained.

"So both are big fighters and won't just go down easy?" Greg asked.

"Yes, now we will contact you later, don't forget. You may contact us too, if needed." The voice reminded him.

Before Greg disconnected, he gave one last reply.

"I will, Admiral..." 

About the Galatic Taunis Mining Industries.

The Industries are 200 years old and have 5 latter's of authority.

The family head seats

Board of branch directors 

The Industrial leaders

The Military force chieves

Citizen representation and handling.

The family head seats, these can only be given to members of the Taunis family and each deal with different accordance but also assist eachother. Each one has different duties and responsibilities but share that they are to worry for the G.T.M.I.'s future. Each head seat comes with a personal protection force. 

Board of Branch Directors, each branch has officials. One who focuses on the negative areas of the branch and sees how to improve it, than the other looks at all the progress and positive areas of the branch and how to possibly improve it.

If by majority vote, the board can remove almost all head seats for the future of the industry. Each branch has its own security force to keep them protected but the forces vary on the branch.

Industrial leaders, these are the work force bosses. They are the CEO's of their areas or region. Their focus is the workers. Such as progress, work effectency, worker morale, supplies, and pay. They also have a security force but it's a small bodyguard squad.

The Military Chieves, The great, great, great Thomas Taunis founded the Galactic Taunis Mining Industries but his son, Chris Taunis, turned it into an industry tyrant. Fully militarized their once known securities into fully trained soldiers.

With that came region commanders. Sometimes a region has more than commander, to help with the chains of command. These Chieves focus on all security and military presence in a region.

Regions can go from pieces of land to planets, to regions of space. They overlook everything and report all important details to the board or head seats.

Citizen Representation, these would be the mayors and city work forces. Focusing on the maintaining of colonies and cities. Keeping the people happy and organized. They're also responsible for propaganda.

Like Industrial Leaders, they are given a small bodyguard team.

Sorry about chapter 10! should of proof read! its fixed now.
