OOC: I think so too! <Earth Caste Senior> "Later perhaps." She winked and took her leave, leaving the Earth Caste member in suspense. The Female seemed to be more playful than the common Senior. Also more creative and less caught in traditional designs, just like Buies himself. <Hangar> "EVERYONE!" The voice echoed through the entire hangar without even requiring any volume increasing machine. "The Briefing of the Etherreal and therefor our common goal will commence soon! Make sure to be in time, everyone too late shall be punished!" Violently the voice forced it's way into everyone's ear, just when the last engine of an Orca died - as if having waited for it. The Fire Warrior was loud and clear with the order and marched off before anyone could even react in any sort of way. <Kroot> The Kroot growled as his pack called him over but he shook his head. "One more game!" he barked at them - which were taking their leave for the meeting. He lost already 2 games in a row - but he wanted to try a third! "You Water Caste Tau... One more game!" The Ally was certainly angry at his prior losses and desired to make even for them.
-Buies *he had decided to attach a medium to short ranged flamer on the left hand instead of a burst cannon, the rail gun and missile pods allowed a good amount of long range fire power and the flamer would allow the operator to fight off any enemies who attempted to get close to exploit the Tau's reliance on long range, which many enemies did try and get up close, and any who did would get a nasty surprise from the flamer, after he had attached the last weapon and finished the refitting of the suit he left for the briefing, he would come back and check it again after the meeting to make sure everything was properly repaired and fitted, which he was sure it was, but it would not hurt to come back and check it for the 8th time before handing it off*
"so your sure it will work" as the warior in armor walked towards the breifing "come on cold wind, has my weapon tuning ever been wrong" as the female in enginering garments walked beside him she passed him a pulse rifle "ive configured its targeting sight for you and ive cleaned the circiuts" "fine il trust you kias" as he spoke he put the rifle on his back on a maglock "though why you seam to folow me on every deployment is unknow to me"
-Vior'la "Come on lets get to the briefing before it starts we don't want to get in trouble over being late. "vior'la said soon putting her helmet on and keeping her family bonding blade on her belt -Niner Niner could here the announcement for the briefing he had finally finished his work on the drones and with a smile he went off towards the briefing.
-Deru *heads towards meeting* OOC: sorry, can't really think of anything else to put here for just going towards the meeting
<Mess Hall / Briefing Hall> As the Tau gathered in the big mess hall, it could be easily seen that the most Tau split into their Castes. Though only two leaders were seen so far. The Fire and Water Caste leaders at the tip. The Fire Caste Block assembled on the far left, to their right the Air Caste Block, while on the far right was the Water Caste Block and to their left the Earth Caste. (OOC: Visualization: <Fire> <Air> <Earth> <Water>) Though certainly there were also some mixed groups. Like random Tau among the Water Caste, some Vespid Warriors among the Fire Caste, or also Air Caste members towering the lower-built Earth Caste Tau. Perhaps there was a deeper pattern within - though the leaders seemed not to care. Shi'Monat looked critically towards her Fire Warriors she would lead, nodding towards them, while Eur'ii looked relaxed and more balanced between the different Tau and respective allies. Chit-Chatting eventually Codrus and Kauyen joined the other two. Buies immediately recognized Codrus as the same woman who met him earlier in the engineering bay. Kauyen yawned and stretched, placing his hands behind his head as he looked pretty much annoyed at standing. Shi'Monat just shook her head on such reaction. And that was their Admiral of the Kor'vattra, a person that cannot even stand for a single minute. As the Caste Leaders assembled, a door in the center behind them opened. The Etherreal of this operation, Shovah'J'karra walked forth with his staff - no bodyguards. As he made his entrance all mumbling and chatter fell into complete silence. As he walked a step beyond Shi'Monat and Eur'ii it looked like he would fall, but a platform emitted the moment he stepped into the thin air, from the ceiling a floating podium came down and landed right when he made a step forwards - before it was in complete position. Standing tall and roughly five feet above the members assembled below him, he started to speak with his divine voice. "Children of the Tau Empire." He started - raising his hands. "Aun'O'T'au'Acaya'Va'Denta and O'Shaserra have designed a plan to bring us beyond the Third Sphere of Expansion and find ways to destroy the Devourer which we named Gorgon and barred so many of our worlds! But not just that, we will find common enemies of the ignorant Imperium of Mankind and befriend them to push further into the realms which are called Ultramar!" "Pavonis may have not become ours, but the potential is there! And we saw what the Imperium does! Instead of helping their people in need, they start ruling with an 'Iron Fist' as they call it! But we know better, we know the Greater Good, we know the good we can achieve united! Free the enslaved, feed the hungry, educate the inexperienced, hydrate the thirsty, slay the tyrant!" "Our task is what Aun'Va personally told me shall be called 'Shadowsuns Trump'. No matter the language, if Gothic, Tau, Kroot, Vespid, Tyranid, Eldar and even Ork! This operation will be known as such once we have completed the given task. We are moving to the galactic North, where even the Imperium fears to go. They bombarded the world with their so-called 'Exterminatus' Weapons." "The weapon that resided there seemed to be so much of power, it is not just a threat to the Imperium but the Tyranids as well. We will go there, find whatever hints we can if it still exists or can be elsewhere found and then utilize it to show what the Greater Good is capable off and that the Tau are not to be underestimated." "Therefor, my fellow friends, brothers, sisters and allies that found here together to resemble the unity of the Greater Good. Are you ready to become Shadowsuns Trump? Are you ready to breach into a sphere no Tau ever stepped into? Are you ready to sacrifice yourself in the name of the Greater Good?!" The Etherreal demanded to know, while many already reacted before he was completely done with a loud "YES!" or "IN THE NAME OF THE TAU EMPIRE!", others praised former heroes like Shadowsun or Puretide, only a few Aun'Va.
Hearing the announcement, Yua'rak gathers his questionably aquired gians. "It would see the time for fun and games has ended my friend. But don't be discouraged, we shall meet again ." Handing the Kroot an identification disk, similar to a business card, he says; "if you ever wish to try your luck again find me at the canteen. First drink is on me." Picking up the last of his belongings, Yua'rak has a good feeling about the assembly. -meeting hall- (Ethereal speech) Cheering alongside his fellows, it took a minute before the more sceptical gears in his mind started turning normally. A sense of forboading and terror took him as he realized where they were heading "... WE'RE GOING WHERE!?" He says a little more earnestly than intended.
Thrilled and filled with new energy, Kai'or'es raised his arms into the air and balled his fists. The Air Caste Tau yelled on the top of his lungs, combining his voice with that of the others. "For the Greater Good! For the Tau Empire! FOR THE GREATER GOOD! FOR THE TAU EMPIRE!" To pierce the safety of the spheres and enter the unknown in search of something of great power.. So exciting, one might even say. I wonder... "FOR THE GREATER GOOD!" Kais'or'es kept on yelling.
