"You could say that..." Kotch replies, as the Kodiak makes its way to the Mons.

The Kodak landed in the massive space of the Mons, the door opening to reveal thousands of soldiers walking around, talking amongst one another, arming themselves up, or testing out new weapons. Some were in Cerberus combat armor, others were talking amongst one another in civilian or Cerberus clothing.
"Follow me." Kotch says, moving to an elevator, a woman and a couple Cerberus Nemesis waiting for them. The Nemesis had their helmets off.

"Understood Jeeves, that was fun!" Derek said, walking back towards the hangar
-
"Quite. Cerberus created the M-1 and subsequent others once the Illusive Man took an interest on Typhon. He recovered as much he could, and began production during the Demeter assault." Jeeves explained. "By the way, it is now tea time." The hangar bay doors opened, revealing Kotch and a bunch of Cerberus generals and soldiers talking amongst one another.

"Enter guard mode, monarch. I'll be back." Derek clambered out of the Titan, jumping to the ground and walking towards the group
-
"Yes, Vice Admiral." Jeeves had replied, looking around the perimeter. Kotch notices Derek make his way forward, with both Rotor and Valencio next to the Cerberus Admiral. "So, how's was that giant hunk of beauty?" Valencia asked, Kotch simply smirking.
-
"One hell of a thing, Kotch. I love the upgrading it takes into account." Derek stated, glancing back at Monarch
-
"Well, the Illusive Man always get the most experimental things and comes up with the best results." Kotch had replied, Rotor walking up to him. "Sir, work on the first IMC ship has been complete, sir. 6 more are on the verge of completion, Admiral." The Cerberus lead pilot said in his thick Irish accent. "Good; IMC ships should be jumping here, so get all personnel necessary. Valencio, what's the status of our F-SPAR cannons?" Kotch had assured, before asking the lead weapons expert on his ship. "Sir, there almost done. Should be able to punch through an Alliance dreadnought fine, much less a Militia ship. Or a few." He said, rough hints of an Italian accent in his voice showing. "I guess tomorrow..or whenever we jump to Harmony... is the day humanity knows that the IMC are the true leaders of order and stability, along with Cerberus. You agree...partner?" Kotch asked, his hand up for a potential handshake.
-
"Here's to the future, to change, and to stability through force, through order." Derek shook Kotch's hand, giving a wicked smile to the Admiral
-
"URA!" He yells, as the Cerberus personnel around the hangar repeated after him. Perhaps this may have been the beginning of a friendship between two people who shared a common goal. Perhaps this was all a ploy set up by the Illusive Man to further his own goal of taking the Alliance down piece by piece. Or perhaps... It was the beginning of the end. [spoiler]End. Also, Julia's going after Jade, in case you're wondering.[/spoiler]
