[i]"There is no higher power than one's own imagination, save for their will. If you desire something, you can imagine it. If you imagine something, you can find ways to make it a reality. It's that strength found within yourself and yourself alone that will give you purpose.
In the world, life is always starting and ending, but purpose, unfortunately can rarely be found. Give yourself a voice and a pen: you are the protagonist of your own story. So get the girl or save the day. Make people feel wonderful or cast them down. Do whatever it takes to make your story one that people will enjoy until the end of time: you only have one chance to write it well.
Be a hero. Be a LionHeart."

The Crusaders watch and wait. They know an attack's coming, the Augurs saw it. The question is when and how. The most they can do is transfer the civilians below ground and wait for the Occupation to attack them.

[i]A lone Vertibird thunders across the sky, Fortunate Son playing on the loudspeakers. It drops low over the city and arcs out over the bay. A figure in power armor is standing in the doorway, a machine gun in his hand. He shouts over the noise from the rotors and the music.[/i] So this is it, huh? [i]Lovely[/i] remodel.

The Crusaders' Great Council deliberates on the question of this new kingdom to their south. It is without question that this unknown monarchy knows of them, and that they possess significant supernatural abilities. The Crusaders have seen the brutal force of these occupiers, but they also know that they cannot fight them, not without the outside support they once had. But this kingdom may see them as the threat they are not. For a time, they shall watch, and wait. But if war comes, then they shall rise to its banner.

The Crusaders fortify the great Citadel-Monastery of their Order, sure that the city will not greet them with kind words. The Antiochus of their order worries for the people of Perth. This was their land once, and this small slice is theirs once more, but these new settlers, who shaped the lands and sea in a new fashion, seem ruthless and cruel. The Guardsmen who yet stand watch on the Exile's Wall report blazes in the distance, fires the like of nothing they had seen since the Scourging. The smoke and smell of the dead floated over Old Perth for weeks, sending the animals of the forests deep in their dens and burrows, and the children of the city refused to leave their homes. Whatever came to pass, the Remnant did not wish for war. Enough had died already, far from this place, their home. The Crusaders did not wish for more blood to be spilt in the name of their people.

[b]Siris Burke kicks open the doors to the throne room, the axe of the Royal Aegis meeting his neck with a bolting speed, but halting before blood can be drawn.[/b] "Milady, we have an issue." "Do tell us that it isn't Luciana again? Her experiments always seem to end up working with a catch of some sort." "There is a force approximately the size of ours and with just as much strength, if not greater." "Sir Burke. You must've known that such brash action will gain you no authority in my court." "I understand that, Milady, but something must be done. I've prepared the expedition; we're ready to march on your command." "And set fire to every obstacle that stand in your way? The smoke from all those bodies will let them know you're coming before you even cross territories, and the city gates get stuck an awful lot..." [b]Siris glares at the guest in the palace.[/b] "Feeling better yet?" "Almost. I figured I'd tag along, just to jump back into things. Besides, I can't let you have all the fun by yourself; that's a crime in itself." "And to think half the twats in this kingdom missed you..." "Silence. Both of you. Siris, if you believe this threat to be credible, take your expedition and crush it before it can take flight. And take your associate with you; she's in need of a welcome-home party." "Oh? I thought I already got one, but no matter." "Ugh... We'll get it done." [b]The two Guardsmen leave, and the Aegis returns to it's post.[/b] "Mr. Clarke. Send word that there are contracts for any assassins who wish to serve their Lord." "right away, Milady."

The Wandering Crusaders conduct a purge of the mountain range in which their new city has been built; all the flora and fauna transplanted by the Terraform Event is burned and replaced by archived specimens of original Perthian wildlife.

[b]In the Palace throne room, the Princess awaits the tidings of her officials.[/b] "Miss Emory, Milady is ready for you." [b]As the doors swing open, a young-looking woman with short, navy blue hair approaches the throne and kneels. Next to her stands a hefty fellow with curly brown hair.[/b] "Milady, I come to you with something you may find intriguing." "Luciana, our Lady has little time to deal with your scientific discoveries as of late. Other, more pressing matters require her immediate attention." "Such as? What could possibly be more important than the pursuit of knowledge?" "Solidifying myself within this land of fallen shadows, miss Emory. Traitors and treason are abundant in masses, as I'm sure you are aware." "O-of course, Milady. I apologize for speaking out of line." "Remember that while I have much grander things on my mind, I am not deaf. Understood?" "Yes, Milady." "Good. Now, since my focus has been interrupted, speak. You came with words you believe to interest me?" "Yes, I've found a solution to tacking down the traitor. Humans themselves have more common sense than any other living creature in our world, and as such, they possess intuition. Problem solving skills, if you will. However, morality stands in the way of efficiency. Hounds have keen senses, which is why man has used them to hunt and track their game. But hounds are only as tamable as the master they obey." "What does this mean for us, Luciana? I'm not letting anyone with needles close to me, so you best have an alternat--" "If you would let me finish, I'd explain! Of course, the limitations of science can only be bent, not broken. So how does one combine the strengths of both, and none of the weaknesses? The answer, Milady, is youth." "Fine work, miss Emory; I assume you will need subjects and resources to work with, yes?" "I will. And should these results be conclusive, we will have our solution to finding the Traitor."

Edited by Ex PI: 7/5/2015 6:21:26 PMThe Wandering Crusaders and the Perthian Remnant settle their fleet in the old Dead Seabed base of the Perthian Guard. Their civilians, along with many soldiers, move into the newly-made mountains and build a new fortress-city, completed by engineer crews within weeks of the refugees' arrival.
