A'trus shrugged as he took a long.draft from the glass. The cool fluid queltching his thirst. He listened to the miqo'te lecturing him and A'trus only removed the glass from his lips once it was empty and Chalahko had finished talking.Â
"So you are baby sitting me." A'trus mused with a chuckle and placed the glass on the table. "Very well. I welcome.your assistance recovering these targets. But I have three rules. One, we only take targets alive. I am not in the business of killing anyone until they are proven guilty. Second, any order I give, you will.obey without question. This is to keep my unit functioning efficiently. Three. Don't ever casually remark on the death of anyone in my unit ever again or question my orders in front of my unit. Do you have a problem.with these terms?"Â
A'trus was still as he fixed Chalahko with a steely.glare. he was about to continue when the door flew open again and A'trus had a chance to marvel at how popular his office was that day when Rungee burst in, sweet on the hyur's brow. Â Rungee gave a rapid salute to the two officers and then, between ragged breaths said:
"Silver Bazaar, target number two, confirmed sir."
A'trus' flashed. Like a viper sticking he leapt over to his weapon locker and pulled it open and began.to retrieve his rifle and his ammunition sling as Rungee continued to speak.
"The Zulu is perched in the airship tower already sir and she is ready. Half the unit is already moving into position outside the town.
A'trus nodded as he slung his rifle over his shoulder and.began marching for the door.Â
"Second Leuitenant Chalahko, if you are coming along, let us move immediately." Without waiting for a reply, A'trus began marching at a rapid pace down the hall and onto the street. He looked up at the tower and made for it. In minutes he would be aboard his airship and few more after he would be heading.towards the Silver Bazaar, the earth flying below as he readied his rifle. If Chalahko had hurried he would be flying along.as well, ready to observe A'trus work.

Kresha looked at the broken form of Kahn'a. She sighed and nodded slowly. She heard the dispair in the voice. She had broken enough people to know when they had nothing left to give. Â But she also knew many could act that way. She scowled.
"Then why protect them? Why not help us bring them.in? Why didn't you report this on your own? You must have known. Answer me or I will have them.drown you again. Why did you not stop them earlier? You claim to know nothing? I don't believe you. You have an idea. Give it, or I will.give the gift of water once again.
