Where could she go? What could she do? What can we do? These were all thoughts that swam through my head on the trip back to the base. Why hadn't we assumed she had a private skiff? I stop pacing for a moment and ask Skintar "What was your house?" "House Wolves, noble division." "Wait, there are more wolves? "Yes. But not noble" "Hmmm." I mused. " I am planning on warning the houses of Kezil, what do you think?" He agreed. [i][b][u]The Base[/u][/b][/i] We hovered over the base and dropped down. I lead them in, passing by the three houses that had United here. I offered Sointar and Peekis ether and shelter, they said they would be leaving soon, so I gave them a big canister of ether for their journey. I walked over to the door to the strategy room. This was not going to be fun. I step into the strategy room. There are three barons for Devils and winter, along with their Archons and Kells. I walk in and take my place of honor at the head of the holo-table. I tell them if Kezil's escape, and of my plan. The Kells agree that we need to warn these houses of her, and eliminating her as quickly as possible. [i][u]One Month Later[/u][/i] The houses have been warned. We don't know what Kezil is planning but we are trying anyways. I'm sifting through documents and reports of house steel when a message pops up. It's from house winter. I open it, it's a disstress call. In mere moments I am in my personal skiff and off. [b][i][u]Venus[/u][/i][/b] I arrived at the House Winter command center and emerge from the caves to where their ketch should be. I look down below and see fallen dead. I race down to them and spot dead House of Steel dregs and vandals. I quickly loom up to see something terrifying. The House Winter ketch was rising up, the cargo bay door closing. I watch in horror as the ketch raises itself out of the ravine and takes off. I race back to my skiff. Kezil wouldn't escape this time.
