Kytan Veyron had just arrived to Mavkodus and was well-aware of Vincent Sparks' return. He was planning to have him eliminated right away by the hands of UoK themselves. All of the current members aside from Avu Fujimara - sat around the high table. They were in the presence of Lord Veyron. Heios was quiet as always, staring at the High Table, minding his own business. He would occasionally bat an eye towards Veyron to indicate that he's listening. Aria was sharpening her Signature Weapon, frustrated inside. Jasper was attentive to the conversation, not wanting to miss anything. Veyron was laid back on his seat. He had a clean and red Kobajin fur seat trimming with a golden accent. He had no smile and he also didn't have an expression. This was all business for him. He stared at the Followers, looking them in the eye before speaking. "I've become well aware of this situation. Frankly, I am unsurprised. After all, the enemy is only ever predictable to those who are not themselves the enemy. However, we are no longer in the dark. We know what our enemy looks like." He looked over at Jasper, who had his hands folded together in front of him. "Fortunately for us, I happen to know where he is. I assume I do not have to remind any of you that your task won't be easy, correct?" Heios nodded, and so did Aria. "The objective here is to eliminate him as soon as possible. We cannot and will not let him destroy any distributed goods from us. This can also impact the outlook on us for the galaxy so we want to maintain as many believers as we can." He pressed a button on the table - revealing a hologram on Eukaron. The hologram showed Vincent Sparks' exact location. "A certain... intel has informed me that he is on Eukaron. For what reason, you may ask? I am not sure, however that is where you will head next. It is not confirmed whether or not he will still be there when you arrive, which is why you shall leave immediately. Understood?" All three Followers nodded in unison. "Good. One more thing. I will tell you that the planet is very..." He couldn't think of any word other than 'trash'. "Anyway... You will not need any Soul Scanners. Sparks was previously one of you, you should be able to tell his Soul-Aura like a sore thumb." He stood up from his seat. Aria stood up, wanting to ask a question. "What of Grand Follower Fujimara, will he be joining us?" She asked. Veyron shook his head. "He has other important matters. The Nuvarians aren't fond of us, which is why I tasked him with handling with... a couple of things." Aria sat back down. She felt uncomfortable but decided to not say anything and simply nodded. "Run along now, no time should be wa-" The entire place would sound an alarm as red lights turned on and the emergency siren blared loudly, making everyone cover their ears. The emergency siren would stop after a few seconds, as the AI spoke over the intercom. "Warning: A foreign entity has entered Mavkodus airspace! Warning: A foreign entity has entered Mavkodus airspace!" Veyron turned towards Aria. "See to this matter at once." He demanded. Aria, Jasper and Heios all left the room. - The hangar was filled with a ship that none of the UoK members have ever seen before. It was a small shuttle, it only had enough room for about five people, but it wasn't any ordinary shuttle. It had a blue curved stripe around it, which indicated that it is an H73 Compact, made by the Septo Corporation. The girl stepped out of the ship, frustratingly sighing due to the inability of the ship making a good landing due to it's battle-scarred state. She wouldn't be fazed by the alarm that was ringing in the entire base since she already foresaw this. She sighed, keeping her arms half an inch away from her hips to release her Signature Weapon in case something happened. The blast doors opened and revealed Aria, Jasper and Heios. Aria summoned Enk-X, pointing it towards the girl. "A-" The girl stared at aria, keeping her guard up. "Who are you!? Why are yo
