Disgraced Commander Silverberg, former Appalachian Third Navy. Modarch Sector Excursion, Day 0: Planning Phase.
My airship has landed near Haik Station, responding to a distress signal submitted by freshly conscripted Comrade Niverio. Because I've not stopped to refuel in some time, I will need to harvest another 200 kilograms of Element 93 before I can depart. Unfortunately, the cause of the distress signal was immediately apparent: a few self-proclaimed "gods" had already set up shop in this Sector, bringing their sizable followings with them. My Pager immediately started buzzing with information, text flying over both public and secured channels. Niverio thanked me for my quick response, saying that he had requested support from three other well-known figures in the area. Lord Nojo approached me on a secure channel, claiming that I was a runaway peasant from his castle - nevermind the fact that peasants have no place in a castle to any capacity. Clearly the man is off his rocker.
My pager beeped again, its pattern signaling two new arrivals - Order Mage Vernon Vext had arrived with Order Commander Matthew Ward. There was a disparity among the two in their response, however: While Mage Vext was willing to contribute his own sizable detachment to our aid, Ward began to rave about some Greater Good, about serving Modz-Gods' Will. Has the Order failed to teach the fact of the One True God, such that their current top brass worships tangible and heathen deities? I'll have him captured and flayed for treason and blasphemy!
Two men have yet to be accounted for. Once Warboss TopKilla and The Janitor arrive, we can begin retaking this Sector, mile by bloody mile.
