But for now, we're making sure not to disseminate any vital information down the network."
"Don't worry Ory-Hara," he continues sympathetically, "nobody could've done much better on that mission given that the Federation was forewarned and forearmed. They simply overwhelmed us with their enormous resources on this one. You win some, you lose some. We just have to be a bit more careful from here on in. Keep dropping by every few weeks as it won't be too long before I have something for you." |

But if you could just find the system Aurora and have a look around, that would be ideal. "Interested?" |

"The first family changes from time to time," he continues dryly, "and the current first house is the Moash house who have demonstrated that they are capable of underhanded dealings. "However," he says, grinning, "just because Moash is the first house doesn't mean that they are immune from attacks by the other houses. In fact far from it, the Moash house is probably attacked more often than any other house. In fact, such violent acts are an integral part of Auroran politics." He sits back still smiling. "Doesn't it all sound like fun?"" |

I think that it will be very interesting to find out what is going on down there. It is not at all like Aurorans to impersonate the Federation. "Anyway," he continues brusquely, "stay close to the bar. I get the feeling that I will need your expertise again very soon." |

They train for years in those disciplines. If they attack you, shoot them, and shoot to kill. Maiming is bad form and will cause others to join the fight. A clean death is much more honorable.

| You agree, suggesting that perhaps the greatest moment was the finding of a new ally. Eamon nods, looking at you with narrowed eyes.
"As for your studies," he continues sadly, "I do not know how to teach one such as you. I suggest that you train with the Nil'kemorya, as the Polaris warrior-caste is named, or even with the Vell-os. I have heard a lot of good about the skill of both. Perhaps they can be of more assistance. I am sorry that I cannot help you further." You bow saying that you were honored to have merely been his 'kachi'. He bows in return. Smiling, you ask if a last drink between two old campaigners might not be in order. "I think you might be right," he replies with a grin. |

| "The ancient Gaels called people like you 'warrior-poets', for they understood that to master the arts of war required a person to master their soul. I would be honored to call you my Battle-{G"Brother" "Sister"}." Having travelled extensively throughout Auroran space and learned a little about its warrior culture, you realize that this offer is not given or received lightly. By offering to become your Battle-{G"Brother" "Sister"} he has indicated that he holds your life to be of much greater value than his own. You are touched and bow deeply, replying that the honor would be entirely yours. The two of you grip forearms and you both make a small incision on the back of your hands letting your blood mingle. "Good luck my {G"brother" "sister"}," Eamon says by way of farewell, finishing his drink. "If any songs are sung about these days I will make sure that your name is mentioned before that of all others."" |

You nod, not sure how else to answer. "You have done very well," he beams, extremely pleased. "I'll make sure the others hear about this. When we heard no news we expected the worst, but it seems to have turned out better than we could have hoped! When I heard through the grapevine that the Moash capital had been sacked, I went ahead and finagled you access to our highest levels of technology. Knock yourself out."

"Don't start," replies General Smart with an annoyed glance at Geoff, "we know the propaganda, this guy here was instrumental in creating it." You start having suspicious thoughts about Geoff's real identity, but you keep them to yourself for now. "The Vell-os are still enslaved," Geoff explains. "Trust me on this. They were always far too useful to the Federation to be allowed to go off on their own tangent." |
""Let's ignore the morality of the situation for now," General Smart glares at Geoff, "and let's look at it tactically."
| Briefing |

| We are hopelessly outnumbered and the only reason we have survived is because we have kept our locations secret. The Federation now knows of this base, and it is only a matter of time before they send an armada against us. So we need to distract them."

"But Ory'hara is a Polaris adaptation of a Vell-os concept. It means 'the guardian spirit that lies beneath the currents of life'. Curious how your code-name mirrors your nature so closely." You open your mouth to tell him of your purpose but he holds up a hand stopping you in your tracks. "I know why you're here," he tells you quietly.

"As you sit, finishing your second drink you see the long-haired Vell-os walk into the bar."
| Offer |
|---|
| He indicates that you should follow him and you quickly get up and rush out the front door after him. You sense someone starting a battleflow and you duck aside at the last instant and try to dance between the weaves suddenly being weaved around you. You and your opponent dance around each other in what appears to bystanders to be a dervish of destruction and you seem to be gaining the upper hand, sliding comfortably between his weaves. Suddenly your opponent slides in between his own weaves and you find yourself lying flat on the ground unable to breathe.
"You have a great deal of skill," he compliments you. "I was forced to use my telepathic abilities to simulate 'Ory'hara' to defeat you. You have learned much. I think that you might be able to complete what you wish to do for us. Come, we will talk in my private rooms." |
"After a short walk he leads you into his private apartment and invites you to sit down."

| "There is a way to free us from our servitude," he tells you without preamble. "Unfortunately, my people were explicitly ordered not to reveal or to act on any method that would lead to our freedom."
"The Sol representative to the Colonial Council in the year 558NC," he replies calmly. You shake your head stunned; that order was given nearly seven centuries ago! The Vell-os nods in agreement with your unspoken outrage. "I can give you only one clue. Seek out the people we helped before our war. I'm sorry I cannot be more specific, but I am a slave with his orders." You sigh in resignation and ask him if he can show you something of the Vell-os martial arts, and he looks pleased at the suggestion. Over the next several hours the two of you spar and meditate as he guides your new sixth sense towards greater awareness. |

Strangely, this seems to spark off a swirling of the currents around your supervisor, and you sense that he somehow understands at least part of the riddle. "Meet me in the bar in an hour," he commands, suddenly energized, "I just need to clear a few things with some people, and I'll have another mission for you." |

"You have Ory'hara!" she exclaims with surprised delight, and the two Nil'kemorya nod as if suddenly understanding the solution to a problem. Mu'Randa quickly pulls herself together. "I always thought that your code-name was more than mere coincidence," she murmurs mysteriously. |

You give her a quick explanation of the tactical reasons behind the Rebel plan. When you finish she nods in acceptance. "It isn't as good a reason as there could be," she tells you with a small smile, "but it could be worse, and the end result will be the freedom of the Vell-os.

"The two Nil'kemorya bodyguards accompany you to the bar. As you wait they test you time and again by subtly weaving a flow around you and you slip through each and every one."
| Offer |
|---|
| To any observers the three of you seem to be sitting in comfortable silence, but in reality the three of you are engaged in the most strenuous mental battle you have ever faced. Time and time again you slip past the flows they weave. After a while you notice that there is a converging pattern behind their attacks and you see that soon you will be overwhelmed. You begin to despair, but then you remember the fight with the Vell-os and you feel a ray of hope. The mental sparring continues as they tighten their net. As the moment approaches you slow your responses as if searching for a way out. When the final, nearly fatal weave is thrust at you by the pair you dance deliberately into the middle of it, and for the first time you make a weave of your own, swirling their weaves back on them, leaving them impaled on their own flows. |
""Well done!" exclaims Mu'Randa from behind you. "You probably do not know it but you are the first person to have ever defeated the 'fatal convergence'."
| Briefing |
|---|
| It is a sequence of weaves by two people that will always defeat a single opponent unless that single opponent deliberately puts {G"him" "her"}self in a terrible position whereby the sequence is avoided, but {G"he" "she"} is still likely to be defeated by other means. It is a saying amongst the Nil'kemorya, I believe, that only one who has Ory'hara could defeat it."
"Anyway, enough of this warrior testing," she continues, deliberately eyeing the two Nil'kemorya. "The Council has agreed to help you. We have a theorized a way of freeing a single Vell-os from enslavement. I want to go to Ver'a Se in the Ver'roqi system to observe the final stages of the experimentation." You ask if the two warriors will come along as well. "Sure," Mu'Randa replies, surprised, "why not?" |

"I am the leader of the Mu'Hari," she explains in response to your questioning look. "To my everlasting shame, I have been made the leader of those who were not good enough to become members of the major castes. The leader of the misfits." You are surprised at the feeling in her words, sensing that she really believes them. You reach over and put your hand on her shoulder. She looks up and smiles. "You aren't here to listen to my troubles," she smiles gently. |
""Now that we know how to take the strain off the mind of a Vell-os," Mu'Randa goes on to explain, "we can now remove the enslaving device from one."

| You see the Vell-os have been ordered to stop anyone from removing the devices, so if we can just take the load off one, we should be able to remove the machine from them.

You are taken aback. You were not aware that the entire Vell-os race had yet been freed. "I have taken the strain of slavery off one of my fellow Vell-os," he tells you with a small smile, "who in turn has done the same for another, and so on. Within moments of being freed, we were a free race again. We can now join our brothers and sisters beyond the veil, but first we want to pay our debt to you." He looks at you closely. "Would you be interested in learning of a method for capturing 'Commander Krane', as the leader of the Bureau is known?" |
""I thought that you might be," he smiles happily. "She has been seen flying in and out of the Wolf 359 system in a ship called the 'Prodigal Son', no doubt going to and from the Bureau HQ there."
| Briefing |

| It should be a simple matter for one as skilled as yourself to disable her ship and capture her. I'm sure your leaders in the Rebellion would be more than happy to have 'Miss Krane' in custody."

After completing your post-flight routine you pick her up and march her out to the waiting reception. You are greeted by all the Rebel leaders except Frandall, who is nowhere to be seen. The {G"beautiful" "coldly attractive"} Krane looks at them imperiously and asks them what it feels like to be fighting on the losing side, especially now that the Bureau knows of the location of this base. General Smart laughs, "You may find that not all your information regarding this station is completely correct. Take her away!" |

| "He's disappeared," replies Mr. Donald Chick with a shrug. "We've learned from long experience that when he does this, he'll make contact in his own time, and there is nothing we can do to speed up that process."

| One by one they step out, waving for the cameras before being whisked away by rebel soldiers who have drawn bodyguard duty. As soon as they are gone things calm down and you get to relax a little and start taking care of your somewhat battered ship.

| To your surprise you realize that the Rebellion has won their war. They have destroyed the Bureau and as a result the Federation will return to what it once was before the Bureau twisted it into something unwholesome.

| "Ory'hara, how are you?" she asks with her dazzling smile. "I'm so glad you got my message. Please, join me."
You remember that you have heard nothing from Frandall and you ask her if she has seen him. "I don't really want to talk about him," Mu'Randa wrinkles her nose in disgust. "Have you heard that Commander Krane was found disembowelled in her cell? Nobody knows who did it or how it was done, but I have my suspicions. Did you know that he was the one who started the Rebellion? "Anyway, the reason I asked you here," she quickly changes the subject, "is because I need a lift home. Could you help me?" |
"You answer in the affirmative, but you are not put off so easily. You sense her disquiet, but you nonetheless ask what she meant by Frandall starting the Rebellion."

| "He is no better than that Krane woman," Mu'Randa answers, slightly cross at having to answer, "which is not surprising since she learned her craft from him. He saw that when she was put in charge of the Bureau that he would be slowly pushed out of his job in Federation Intel. So, in an effort to regain his influence, he began to subtly make sure that various influential people began to get access to information detailing atrocities committed by the Bureau. And look at the result; he has now destroyed his rival and has once again become the Head of Federation Intel.

Epilogue[]
| Dropping Cargo |
|---|
| Dr. Oriallo Pentecost was elected the new President of the Federation, and his first action upon entering the office was to disband the Bureau of Internal Investigation. The resulting surplus of funds was then used to pay for thousands of new schools, hospitals and exploration ventures, looking to expand the frontiers of human expansion.
He said one word: "Ory'hara," and died. Later, when pressed, the people who were present at the signing only smiled cryptically and left the question unanswered. |
"Rumors abounded, but the only information found was that during the troubles that preceded the unification of humanity there had been a {G"man" "woman"} who had gone by the name 'Ory-Hara', who had then immediately dropped out of sight."
| Completion |
|---|
| Not even the Polaris, who were rumored to have last seen {G"him" "her"}, knew where {G"he" "she"} might have gone.
Eventually humanity began to slowly evolve and began to move beyond these limited dimensions, and finally they began to see. The last human, before evolving into the beyond, looked around at the physical universe laid out in all its glory and said one last word in a satisfied voice. "Ory'hara." |
This is the final Rebellion mission.
