Das Berg looked from face to face with him in the cabin of the ship. Around them were UA soldiers calling out commands, Barney uncontrollably playing with the ships settings, and Troyce ranting and yelling. It was hard to get a good full breathe of silence let alone enough to complete an internal thought. The cyborg sighed and stood up. All the other faces turned to watch him. You did not want to give up negotiating. The group was dependant on negotiating.
“I don’t know about you poor souls but I am sick of being someone else’s prisoner. Tozzar’s words are the words of a free telth. Not owned by any company, government, or person. I am going to be free too!” With those words Das Berg, in his rusted half robotic half human way, stepped out of the ramp. He was met with a set of cold steel barrels in the hands of UA soldiers.
“By the power of the UA you are placed under arrest. Come willingly and quietly from out of the ship.” One of the soldiers said. Das Berg smirked, put his hands up, and looked in the eye.
“Son, I have been the commanding officer of my own ship for the past 30 years, the 15 before that I was ordered around like a grunt and killed a lot of people. I worked my entire life, gave my entire life to the United Arms. I have worn every color uniform there is and now I am tiered. I know what it is like to be scared. I know what it’s like to not know how things are going to go when I place my finger on the trigger. I do not however know what it is like to kill a ranked commander of my own company. Now son if you want to know what that’s like firsthand than you hold strong to that gun of yours. Because if you don’t drop those weapons right now you’re going to have to pull the trigger to stop me.” Das Berg’s chocked and raspy voice, riddled with the many years of service, cut deep into the soldiers before him. Das Berg took a few steps towards the soldiers so they could see him better. As soon as they recognized the cyborg they dropped their guns to the side and held their arms out to solute. “That’s what I thought. Now let’s go have a chat with the rest of your crew.”
-Now Jack I am a little disappointed in you.- Das Berg started to speek through con link.
-Who is this and how did you get this con number. I don’t have the time for this.- the man replied.
-Dr. Jack Dowser, the title suits you boy. I am however a bit jaded- Das Berg continued to speak.
-I am an officer of the UA. I demand you to identify yourself before this link is tracked and we have a group of soldiers dispove of you.- Dowser was pissed.
-Oh I think you can make time for your old man!-
-my what…wait…huh.-
-Jack we don’t have the time for this. Now you need to listen to me now and act fast. I can explain in a bit.-
-Bergheim Dowser… The big Space Berg… Father.-
-Boy we are on the brink of a galactic war if you don’t pull yourself together and turn this around. Now I have been following Tozzar for quite some time now and the telth has his head on straight He spoke with me earlier about the news and what he says is true. I know it’s hard to believe the UA is doing all this but I am convinced they don’t know. I didn’t even know until Tozzar shared it with me. We just took the job and went with it. Prime is paying us huge amounts of money to do it too.-
-I …I …don’t understand.- Dowser was twisted in all kinds of emotions, none of which he could outwardly show while on the deck.
-I am holding the men here. You pull back and agree to negotiate.-
-But father you were dead. That ship exploded and they found parts of your body. The rest was said to be in millions of pieces.-
-Yes son, I was close to it, but I never actually died. This isn’t how I wanted to reveal myself to you but this is as real as it gets. I am a cyborg now.- Das Berg, or Bergheim, said with a heart so heavy he had to sit back down. –Now do it son.-
-Tozzar I will agree to your terms. Mark a neutral space in between both fleets and I will meet you there. Oh and Tozzar, you are in a load of horse s**t!- By that time Bergheim had returned to the ship and patted Tozzar on the back when he reached the control room. His robotic rusty self steaming and clanking the whole time.

As the tension built and the men in the room started to finger their guns Tozzar suprsingly only let out a laugh. He stepped in between the two commanders with a mischievous grin on his face. Secretly he switched back on his mass relay channel, the one that would reach any public line and hack into any private line it could. He wanted the soldiers of all sides to hear and see what was happening on his ship. "For once in my tragic journey people are ready to shoot and not one of them seems to be pointing at me! This is a miracle if there ever was one! HAHAHA" Tozzar paused for a second as he looked at the two tense figures, a soft smile growing on his face.
"Don't you see this is exactly what the companies want? Neither of you knew of this information before you arrived here. Hell you are on my ship, because you would not believe the words I spoke. Yet now you here of the actions of other people and somehow think to hold each other personally responsible? This base fear is what the companies will play on when they reveal their weapons. They will say 'look at this day, when the animals that are the Telth... (he looked at Commander Thitan) or Human (he turned his head to Dowser)....slaughtered our valiant warriors for no other reason than being of our race. We cannot let these vile creature exist. They will see all of us to our graves. We must rally behind these weapons.' Fighting here and now, for no other reason than the actions of the companies...no not even the companies themselves; for we are have served one company or another involved in these atrocities. To blame the company would be to blame ourselfs, and that is not right. These monstorousities are not the actions of any one race, or any group of companies. These weapons of terror belong solely to individuals. Individuals who sit light years from the blood-shed and death, reaping in trillions of credits payed for with the blood of our men and women. They sit there hungry for more power, for more money, for the privilege of bragging to their grandchildren how they ride the universe of freedom, of diversity, of everything that makes this universe so magnificent. Your initial reaction to the things I told you may be to shudder in fear. To stick to your own, hating the other is always easier. It is how the companies became so powerful in the first place."
Tozzar paused as he was out of breath.
"Think of the people you know. At first you will think of your friends and families you see often. But think of those you don't see often; for I am sure they will all not be human or telth. Think of those people not of your own race and ask yourself 'is he the one trying to kill me? Is he the enemy whose blood I seek out of fear? What about all those good times and memories we shared, surely those were not pretend'....Gentlemen look at yourself here and now, see the how the companies how already begun to turn you against one-another. For what? What have you done to the other? The answer is simple, nothing. We have coexisted for hundreds of years alongside one another. Why is it now that the companies need to worry about "defending" their peoples? The is no reason, because these weapons are not about defending the innocent, they are about power-hungry tyrants who have gone unchecked for so long they think themselves gods and seek to control everything in the universe by destroying every beautiful thing that they can't grasp their hands around. Are these the demons you wish to serve? The demons you wish to die for here and now in the cold of space away from your families and friends?"
Tozzar paused as he looked at the commanders hoping that they heeded his words and realized the mistake they were about to make.

Tozzar looked around at everyone starting break down and the war to be back on the brink again. Tozzar shook his head and looked down. Did he really have to give another speech to try and end this conflict again. Was no one listening to him? God damn that Commander Thitan; ruined all of his work in one moment. Now Tozzar had to try and rein them in once again. Hopefully his silver tounge would hold out.
Tozzar flipped on his comlink and started his hack back up again. Penetrating every com in the area. He was pissed that he had to do this again and was not going with the same passive approach as before. He let his anger out with is words, "Everybody stop! Look at yourselfs. Look at what you are doing? On the brink of galatic war once again? For what? Not knowing what is going on, egearness to fight? Lack of information? Are any of those worth dying for, worth killing for? I had just convinced most of you that war here and now is what the companies would want. That it would justify their cause, and you said you believed those words. But then the moment the companies rolled out a small preview of their death weapon, you all forget my words and start gearing up for war with each other. Knowing that the other person was not apart of what happened? Commander Thitian's actions are his actions alone. The companies have tried to destroy of independent thought. They want to turn us into mindless drones who don't know how not to follow their orders. The companies are not "the humans" or the "the telth" its the actions of a group of greedy, power hungry individuals. You are not responsible the companies actions, just as that person you are gearing up to go to war with is not responsible for the actions of his company. The people we should be gearing up to war with are sitting in ivory towers sipping expensive wine and making millions while we are the ones who do the work, the time, the danger, the dying. ******** Commander Thitian, ******** the companies. They have crossed every line imaginable and it is time for them to be brought down.-
He paused here out of breath.
-All those who don't, or won't, believe me, you may leave in peace. As long as leave you leave peacefully you may leave without harm. As I said everyone is and individual and are free to make their own choices. If you think that killing off entire races out of fear is the right choice, then you may think. Today is a day where everyone must make the choice of what they believe in. It is not the day of fighting. There will plenty of those in the future, but that time isn't now. Don't let fear cloud your judgement, today can end peacefully only if you let it-

Tozzar watched as everyone started to fall to pieces again. It was like only when he was speaking did any of them seem to understand what he was saying...and only cause he was saying it directly and explicitly. God was he the only one in the galaxy who used logic and not emotion as his primary method of action? It was incomprehensible how none of the people knew how to handle this situation rationally. They all wanted to freak out and do things, when confronted with information you don't just do things...that lead to bad decisions!
Tozzar sighed as he started to use some of his secondary tentacles to massage his head. This was tiring, this whole trip was not as tiring as trying to reign these troops in and avoid open warfare. There wasn't anything to even fight about at the moment. People were just trigger happy at the moment.
Still on his comline he kept talking ignoring the comments of the various Commanders (he didn't even know who was currently in control of what at this point).
-Will all of you just shut the ******** up. Sit the ******** down. And stop ******** doing dumb s**t. Commanders of the individual ships of all armies and sides. Move your ships towards the Harvenger base for the time being. All the ships that have a majority favor of staying with me land on the base to begin reorganization and consolidation of the troops. Ships that find themselves in favor of leaving; provide drop ships to allow the dissenters to leave and go your own way. The ships that land will return the drop ships loaded with the loyalists from their own ships. If logistical issues arise, please find a nearby ship who can help you out.
Once the division of troops have begun Bergheim, you will assume control of all Telthian forces remaining. Dowser you will retain control of all human forces. Unfortunately, as the most calm acting individual in this entire galactic zone I will assume command of the the overall forces as well as direct command of any remaining Cor forces still holding out on the base until the situation settles down and a true Cor commander can be found and a council can be convened to decided the final organization of the forces who choose to stay here today. Terra Heart, will assume control of the civil side of things, acting as the head of a provisional government and act as the representative of non-combatants until a time where we have the luxury to establish a more stable form of rule arrives.
Today may seem like chaos, but here are some of the best fleets in the galaxy. I am sure we can sort a spontaneous reorganization like this. Don't worry about what other ships around you are doing. Focus on sorting out your own ship first, then we will work out the logistics from there. A simple bottom-top approach. So please begin sorting out who will stay and who is leaving. Oh and just as a reminder, the only reason fighting will start here is if you want it to. As long as we all take a step back and think for a second there is no reason a gun should be fired.-
Now Tozzar switched to a channel containing just the commanders (Dowser, Bergiham, Terra, etc)
-Now then, I hope you will all accept the position I just mentioned for the time being. You all are the most capable individuals that I know of here and I believe we can get this out sorted out peacefully. Now then; Dowser at this time all returning to the UA will do is result in your immediate arrest or execution. What you should do is stay here and help me organize this army. That would be a better use of your time, beside I don't even you are high enough in the UA to be able to waltz into the offices of the people who are truely pulling the strings behind the UA and just convince that they are doing the wrong thing. The CEO's of the companies will not hear reason. They will be fully committed to the project. I don't mean we won't eventually confront the UA and see if they will switch sides, but returning now won't accomplish anything.
Now then an approaching Tithlatel fleet is a bad thought. I doubt we will have time to separate out who is siding with who and have time to flee in any organised way. We would end up scattering to the wind and picked off one by one, the companies will want to squash any rebellion like this immediately. Our best hope would be to use the Harvenger fortress to our advantage. Luckily Tauk's main force was not garrisoned here and Dowser's precise strike did....relatively minimal damage given the circumstances. Hmmmmm once we get some people on the ground, send out any engineers, or really any support people who can start getting this base functioning to some capacity. Barney, I will put you in charge of finding some way of jerry-rigging this base. I would like to put forward the idea of using our combined resources to shooting the speeches I have made out as widely as possible. If you men truly wish to oppose your companies actions then cooperation, and uniting the people is going to be the only way to garner enough strength to stop them. I am also going to propose the suggestion that for the time being this base be considered the staging point of any operations we choose to undertake as we get our foot in the door. This is the personal fortress of a major company and will a proper garrison can hold out against most any attack. However, I doubt the companies will be focused on us if we send the message out. They will be too busy trying to relocate their projects once they learn this information now has an army behind it. It will slow their production for a while, which will give us time to organize.
Terra dear, would you be a doll and start selecting envoys to send to the various small to medium size companies in the area. Companies like this will be our best bet in establishing a true army and functioning force against the might of the major companies. They don't have any part in the WMDs and probably will be just as disgusted with the idea of intergalatic genocide as we all are, however the faster we act to get their support the fewer will be reigned in by the companies to their side.
Well I think that ought to get us started. Anyone else have major issues they feel need to be addressed at this exact moment?-

-Tozzar honey don’t you get it, everyone is scared. You are appearing to be quite the radical and that’s not what people want here. They don’t want a war but they don’t want to chuck everything about their lives out the window too. You weren’t kidding about all this mayhem s**t were you? Everywhere you go chaos spills out. I will see what I can pull from our neighbors. Let me know what else I can do to help your cause, maybe even add some appeal to your speeches. You know, not to be bold honey, but there are many different ways I could help you out.- Terra was holding back, you could tell. –Just get me off this ship!-
Terra and Simon were still being held in a separate room behind armed guards. It was humiliating. Terra could barely lift her head with enough self respect to tell the guard off. After hearing the wave of speeches Simon walked toward the exit of the room. The guards raised their weapons but Simon continued walking. He eyed them both down. With each step the guards became a bit twitchier, their fingers on the trigger. They embodied the confused laymen type soldier. They had their orders but now most orders didn’t make sense. To be honest, they didn’t know who made the orders and that made following any order that much more difficult. Simon walked right past them without a single struggle. Terra quickly followed behind him.
-No offense Tozzar but for now I think it would be best if you thought yourself as a personal advisor. Even with your dreadful information that still only makes you intelligence, not a leader.- Dowser struggled with the idea on the way to his own ship. He had put the orders through to have the ship dock on the Harvengers HQ for the great toss of people. It didn’t take long for all of the ships to land but there is where the true chaos erupted.
Most of the surface of the HQ was torn to bits making for a grave scene to navigate as cor parts spilled all around the shrapnel of the base. Even with all the attempts at organization, the movement of millions of people into ships with limited space, making sure they were heading toward the right ship, and meshing with other races that could be a galactic threat thickened the tension. Even with all the mass movements and herding of people everything stayed calm. No one pulled a gun or even spoke out. It was as though someone had pulled the rough off of an ant colony and let the bugs run in fear. They all had a direction and a cause but it was obvious from the start; everyone was torn.
As your own back hand Harvenger ship landed things started to hit a flow. Blitz was the first one off, running towards Simon and Terra. Barney was next to exit. He touched down on the HQ, shoveling bits and pieces around in what looked like a random assortment. To him, he was building. Many engineers and hard working hands met up with Barney to start reassembling the broken moon. He had them all to work within hours and it was cleaning up fast.
“Tozzar I must have heard you wrong. Did you really want me to take command of the Tithlitel fleet? I see no harm in having Lynch to command. I just don’t feel comfortable ordering the Telth around. Not this soon to your grave news, especially not after Thitan pulls a bug on us.” Bergheim said while approaching you. He placed a hand around your shoulder. The cyborg gazed out of the ships windows at the mass of people moving throughout the HQ. His eyes drew to every telth moving about. There was a bit of segregation occurring.
“Command them, HA, Das Berg, you would have to control them. Thitan just confirmed the worst of our fears. Tilt has almost finished their specimen. It looks as though they may have sold some to the Tithlitel if their commander has one on him. That bug could have wiped out their entire UA fleet.” Troyce just had to yell out his grand news. It brought a heavy chill to the conversation. Things were already a bit more about race than they needed to be.
“I have faith in Lynch. I advise Tozzar to as well!” Bergheim’s eyes shot a dark look to Troyce but it finished at Tozzar. He left the commanding platform and into a side chamber of the ship leaving just you and the cackling Troyce alone.
“If you want the help form my company and I let me go. I won’t hold it against you Tozzar. You had to do it, I understand.” He laughed and then there was silence.
Before you was a growing army but for what purpose and how would it all go down.
