When Smitt saw his Captain, he knew immediately something was wrong. John was enraged and disgusted by what he knew. Jimmy had transferred to the Dragonfly with the two Traveler prisoners as soon as they met up at point Alpha before jumping out of the Duniden System. Jimmy had told John everything he saw and had shown him the raw footage of all the infected victoms dead either of the biological pathogen or had their throats slit before they could have been freed. The only saving grace was neither player could leave, they were official POWs of a war that had started. It still did nothing to cool Johns temper though, he wanted to put a gun to their heads and pull the trigger but if he did they would just respawn in Imperial Space and be free to do it all over again. The only punishment he really could administer to them is to imprison them, and not touch a hair on their heads, so they had no excuse to file with the Devs.

"Commander, we captured 11 Scientists, and three IntelDiv Operatives between the two Black-Ops bases. Two of the scientists are Travelers, they are not to be abused in any way. They are to be given three meals a day and allowed to shower every three days. They are to be confined to prison cells and never allowed to leave them, Douglas and Kara do you two understand. MECHs are the only interaction they will receive for now. These collars will prevent them from dying like other travelers and showing up some place else. They are War Criminals, but if we abuse them they can access their abilities as travelers and leave. Am i understood??" All three nodded in under standing. "Good the rest are locals, follow the same guidelines as last time, isolate, sleep deprivation, you know the drill. Eventually the locals will be turned over to the people they abused and pay for their crimes. Right now though we need what is in their heads. Smitt, we will have a council meeting in 30 minutes, you have that long to get them settled, DISMISSED." with that John strode off to his office alone.

20 minutes later, John stared out at the stars. His office was sealed and no one was allowed in, Jeeves silently appeared beside him. "John...people are starting to get worried. The Doctors of Allcorp are thinking this is putting too much of a strain on your mind and body. They think that if they don't pull you out that it could have a negative effect on your treatment." Before he could continue your John cut in, "NO!! I am not going anywhere Jeeves. The last couple days, what we learned, it effected me yes. I will learn and cope though. I have responsibilities to these people, and I am not." Jeeves interrupted John now "This is not real John, this is all fake. It is a game and not reality."

John took a deep breath before responding. "Reality is defined by what we can see, taste, touch, smell, and feel with our heart and soul. This might not be my reality but it is a reality. Those digital beings that they killed with the experiments, can you snap your fingers and bring them back...no because in this reality they died horrible deaths. All of them are real Jeeves, you are real, it doesn't matter if its digital or biological Jeeves and the people of this reality need help. I might not be the best choice but somehow I am the one that ended up in this situation, and I am not going to turn my back on them just because it might help myself in the long run. So Jeeves, are you going to help me or not?"

Ten minutes later John strode into the Council chamber, everyone was present including Jimmy and Natalie "Thank you all for coming. The raids in the Proxima System and Duniden System were complete successes. We captured 11 Scientists and 3 IntedDiv Operators, two of the Scientists are Travelers. What you will be receiving is a recording of the raid of the facility in the Duniden system. I want you all to watch it, Kara and Douglas, I want all the recruits to see the video by the end of the day. Miles you will receive a copy of all the data and biological samples from the facility. I want you to have R&D to work on a cure for what they worked on there. This is your highest priority. I expect an update within a week with a timetable by then. Natalie, I want you to take a look at the data and see if you can find out what part Travelers played in that place. You are also in charge of interrogation of them if you feel up to it. We have very strict rules on how we can handle them, if we have any wiggle rum I think you can find it." Natalie had a feral smile on her face at Johns comment. "I plan to forward the medical data and recordings to Aran'Sul, so he can get the information to the proper people. So Miles you will not be the only people working on a cure. Any questions or concerns?"

"The two Travelers, can we post on the Forums about what they did. Let people know that they specifically are monsters that were creating a Bio-Weapon that was being designed to commit genocide." Pride asked. John looked at him before shaking his head "Not them specifically no. We can release information that IntelDiv with the support of the Admirals Board was working on a Bio-Weapon intended to Genocide a whole people, but we cannot say that these two specific people were involved. We can only generalize when it concerns other Travelers, if they had been a part of an Alliance it would be a different story. We could name the Alliance then. Also I want to wait three days before we release any information, then let it out. I want to see if we got any leaks. Anything else.... No. Dismissed people." with that, John left to go tell Aran'Sul what had happened.

Thirty minutes later John finally had him on the Comms "My friend, you look so sad, what has happened? Have the Imperials found your location?" Aran'Sul asked John. "No my friend, as far as I am aware our location is still a secret. I have called to tell you that we recently raided an Imperial Black site that was an R&D facility developing a Biological weapon. The weapon was being designed to exterminate a race and had gone as far as testing on living beings. 50 people were found dead at the site before we managed to raid it. I am filled with both hate for what happened and discussed in my own people. I am going to send you a burst transmission with all the medical data and the recordings of our raid on the facility. Can you get word to the Thon. I have never had dealings with them and I have never encountered them before, so I would not place this burden on you unless I had no choice." John told Aran'Sul.

"The are almost Pacifists, and they are almost as Technologically advanced as the Imperium. They have never started a War with their neighbors, but they have never shy awayed either. Very odd people. A lot of governments use them as mediators. They are trusted and well liked, I have few contacts within their Government but I will forward the information to all of them. I will try to protect your anonymity as much as I can, but I am sure they will want to know where the information came from." Aran'Sul told John "I will trust in your discretion on whom you tell and if they want a face-to-face meeting I hope you will be willing to host. Now, I have much work to do. Goodbye my friend." with that John cut the transmission.
