Chains of Command

Luckily, Morgan had not yet had to face Wessex on any grounds except that of conversation (where she felt she had been victorious and not the Ascended woman). Hearing of the many powers that the ex-Queen held Morgan knew the day it finally did have to come to battle - and if things kept going as they were, that day would arrive - she would have a difficult fight ahead of her. "A fearsome opponent. Everyone has weaknesses, though. We must simply find hers." It was obvious Jigano was hesitant to tell her too much more about Amalia and her Ascended brother. Morgan nodded her acquiescence to keeping it a secret, not for the moment wanting to sour her relationship with Amalia in case the woman did prove to be a valuable ally. What she did not show any agreement to was Jigano's words on 'genocide', as he put it. She would not hesitate to take things to war against the Ascended if she felt it was necessary, and blood (fluid?) spilled was just a cost of the fight. "..There may come a day when you have to decide just who your 'people' are." She nodded fervently to his comment on an infiltration. "This is what I fear. A slow and gradual take over. Seducing our people with their promised 'benefits' and trapping them in their life until the whole Citadel is nothing but Ascended." Morgan Storm clouds abound in the land of my heart And the war-cries fly from the company But I have seen no quarter, my love In the gaping maw of the enemy
