Summary - Destiny. What is it? We have visited this topic once before when Brenna Moore and Rowan Delar were married.

Lon Delar - Rowan's cousin - claimed to have a prophecy...saying that the marriage of the Delar couple would bring about Brenna's destiny, her death.

So far, Brenna Delar has fought off death, recovering from a coma and facing some of the darkest evils in the galaxy. Perhaps she has beat her destiny...but what does that mean for the destinies of those around her? If she lives - does that change the outcome of everyone else's lives? Oh the chaos that will come of this...

You they say you can't change your destiny, but what if you do?

@::looks at foresight:: EXO: What?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Looks at the graphic the CIV is showing him:: CIV: If you were my shrink i would say it looked like an abstract drawing, but to be honest i have no idea. Feed it into the coimputer, maybe it can make out some distinct markings
EXO_LtCmdr_Foresight says:
@FCO: Did you mumble something?
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - Captain Black gives the order for Brenna Delar to take command of the bridge and to set up a rendezvous with the Eridanus...and then quickly moves into his office to report to Starfleet Command.
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@SO: I've already done that.  All the computer says is "insufficient data to reach any conclusion".
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
@::raises a eyebrow:: EXO: are you alright, mate?
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
@CIV/SO: Is there something I can help with perhaps?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@COM: Scimitar: OPS: Scimitar this is the Eridanus; I'm sending you an inventory of the contents of the Airilian Weapons facility.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@CIV: What about the data it came with. Any clues in there as to what this means?
EXO_LtCmdr_Foresight says:
@::Raises an eyebrow:: FCO: Quite alright thank you.
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@EO: We're trying to figure out this image.  You got any ideas?  ::shows him the image, which looks a little like a battleship crossed with a purple frog::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::prepares some firing patterns just in case::
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#::Nods to Janan, her eyes not losing sight of Lieutenant Lai:: XO: You may be on something Commander...
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
COM: Eridanus: CTO: Thank you lieutenant, any further insights you’d like to add before we start getting into this? ::looks down at her console as the data comes up::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
# ::she nods slowly and looks to him::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
@:: looks closer at the image....:: CIV/SO: Where did the image come from?
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
@::grins and shakes his head.:: EXO: So am I needed here or can I beam back to the Scimitar?
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - The massive Airilian Regent, noticing Lai's attempt to hide barrels down on the team. The ground shakes as he runs and in an instant he is before Lai, his hand wrapped around the Engineer's throat...
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@EO: It was with the data from the communications center.  I assume it's not one of yours.....
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - The Regent squeezes, threatening to crush Lai's windpipe, and he lifts the smaller man off the ground.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@COM: Scimitar: OPS: I don't have the faintest idea what they're planning but it involves the use of Bio weaponry so we'd better prepare some protection against that.
EXO_LtCmdr_Foresight says:
@::Looks at his helm officer whom has turned pale:: FCO: If you don't mind.  Take the helm.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
# Regent: He is one of my officers and was not here to cause trouble only to find out why you wanted war with us. I think your enemy may be involved in this and causing us trouble too.
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
#::His hands grasp at his aggressor’s grip, as he drops his engineering kit. Lai struggles to breathe, and his legs flail about, trying to make contact with anything::
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
@::Shakes his head:: EXO: Well......... I do mind.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@*SO*: How are you getting on with those weapons?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Disregarding the graphic for now, he looks back at the devices and sorts them into piles: Known, and unknown::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
COM: Eridanus: CTO: Alright, I'll make sure science and medical get a good look at this then, thanks, Scimitar out ::closes the comm. and sends off he readings and inventory to science before taking a peak at the files herself::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
@:: starts to type a few commands into the console..:: CIV: I am setting up a separate shell within the download structure...if this is some sort of Trojan delivery device, it will protect the computer from counter virus attack.
EXO_LtCmdr_Foresight says:
@::Sits back:: FCO: Very well.  I am now ordering you to take the helm.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@*CTO*: Still working on it sir, it's a lot of hardware to look at
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@EO, SO: Now these make more sense.  ::Shows them the diagrams of the Laquiexian ships::  They appear to be biological entities, but not at all similar to those the Breen use.
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#<Regent> ::His grip tightens and he glances over at Janan:: XO: Lies!
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#<Regent> ::The swings his arm around and Lai goes flying through the air, towards the council of ministers...and the Regent lets go...::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@EO: Good thinking.
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
::walks to helm drags out the Helm officer from his seat:: EXO: I do this under protest.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@EO/CIV: Living ships..mmm
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::smiles as the readouts pop up on his console, feeling himself frown slightly as he begins reading over it:: OPS: Bio-weapons. Not much we can do against those except pray they don't get through the shields, and update the poison-extraction systems. We can probably use the transporters bio-filters in conjunction with Environmental to help...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@*SO*: Understood, keep at it, we need to know what they're planning.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
#::her hand rests uneasily hovering close to her phaser the other heading to cover her comm. badge:: Regent: No Lies...Our fight should not be with each other, would  the second creature who lives without purpose use these words on your wall, we have proof again ::looks to Xia and rushes to Lai::
EXO_LtCmdr_Foresight says:
@FCO: So noted.
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
#::Dandin's body makes contact with something, and he briefly goes black. His body begins to breathe again, thankful for the air::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
@:: begins to do a detailed scan of the image...comparing it to pictures and files relating to the known ships of the Laquiexian fleet::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@SO: Yes.  I remember something about this from my doctorate...  Though I was always better at destroying things like this than creating them.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::nods slowly:: CSO: Sounds good.. the question is can I make alterations to our transporters without them barking at me in Russian ::smiles quietly::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Looks back at the weapons:: CIV/EO: I see a lot of similarities between the ships and the weapons here..
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#::Kaimana immediately falls into a defensive position and places herself between the massive Airilian Regent and the other members of her Away Team::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::tweaks the shield frequencies a bit::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::smiles back at her:: OPS: You'd have to ask the resident Russian himself, I think...But you can be pretty secure, most of the Environmental systems are only partially handled by Engineering
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
@SO: Could be we were able to tap into their R & D database.  The virus worm I downloaded into their computers would not be picky about data...it would grab anything dealing with military objectives.
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
#::Sputters, and come to, holding his aching head and his ribs::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@::Pulls in some data from a paper he wrote about cybernetic and biological interfaces, and runs a comparison to see if anything suddenly pops into shape.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
@::grins as he looks up:: EXO: So, commander, how is Xia treating you?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::running a couple of comparisons he sighs softly:: OPS: Laquiexian and Airilian technology merged, and using their own immunities against us. There are no rules in War, but this is very unfair...
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - Lai finds himself on top of the Minister of Healthy Living...an old, wheezing, obviously unhealthy woman...
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@CIV/EO: Would that mean that they are in some way related? a cross-breed?
EXO_LtCmdr_Foresight says:
@FCO: Adjust course to 120.2.  ::Looks up::  How the Captain treats me is none of your business.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
# ::attempts to help Lai away from the minister with a brief glance to Xia she pauses turning to face the Regent again::  Regent: We don't have to waste lives your excellency.
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@SO, EO: The Breen and the Laquiexian?  I doubt it.
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
#::Quickly removes himself from the woman, but instantly regrets the quick action as his chest throbs and his neck cracks:: Self: Owww...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::checks over the status of the Eridanus' weapons arrays::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
@SO: It has to be....it appears that  they are doing quite a good job…. but there is always a problem with merging of that type.  Where the steel is hard...the flesh is soft.
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
@EXO: Adjusting course to 120.2 :: a hand glides easily over the console:: used to be my XO. Just wondering if she screws up here like she did with the Scimitar?
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@::Is still off on his Breen mission, but coming back quickly:: Self: I can't say I've ever seen anything like this, but its hauntingly familiar.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
OPS: What if this virus in the Airilians isn't natural at all? What if it was engineered by the Laquiexians, just like everything else?
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@EO: I ran into that problem a few times in my research as well.  Even The Borg have hassles with it.
EXO_LtCmdr_Foresight says:
@::Looks at the FCO:: FCO: Screw up?  How?
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - The Eridanus begins to move through the massive Airilian fleet. To their port is a fleet of fighters running practice drills...
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::leans back in her chair:: CSO: Well that would make sense.. but why would they do this, and what could the Airilians possibly have to trade for such things?
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
@EXO: Easily agitated, no sense of keeping order, very unorganized.
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#<Regent> ::He takes many deep breaths, attempting to calm himself:: XO: You continually refer to our enemy...why?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::Keeps a close watch on the fighters::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
@:: starts to set the computer to compare the biologic components of the ships to Laquiexian bio life signs. ::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@EO: Feed in some of these device characteristics as well.. they look awfully similar
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
OPS: The Airilians have a lot of space all to themselves, which would mean a lot of natural resources for trade. They also have a large communications network, which opens up blackmail...
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
@CIV/SO: Well they are not native to this system.. the biometrics that is...were looking at the work of another culture.
EXO_LtCmdr_Foresight says:
@FCO: Haven't seen that from the Captain as of yet.
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@EO, SO: Try adding the strange image and the Laquiexian data to the search.
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
@:: begins to broaden the search...looking for similarities from other races the Federation has encountered. ::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::feeds the extra data in the computer, aiding the EO so the data entry goes faster::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
CSO: With such technology couldn't they just take what they wanted? why trade?
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
@EXO: just put some pressure on her and she'll buckle :;grins::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@EO, SO: Try the other races we encountered on Airilius.  And try the Nacandarians, V'Rax and Kindleener as well.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
#::curses silently wishing she really knew:: Regent: I see no good reason why the Federation and yourselves should be at war, but I have encountered dreamscapes and know why they could be want a war as have I encountered another possible reference in your words here who may have reason to hope to hurt both the Airilians and Federation.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::shrugging slightly he lets out a sigh, and frowns harder at his console, willing the data to merge into something more:: OPS: Who knows? I'm not a Politician, that would be the Commanders job down on the surface...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::runs some un-intrusive scans of some of the fleets ships::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@EO, SO: You seem to be getting closer.
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
@CIV/SO : That image you acquired appears to be a new project.. a merging of both the Laquiexian and Airilian genetic programs...Great.. a meeting of the minds...just what we need.
EXO_LtCmdr_Foresight says:
@FCO:  You mean whenever she gets into a situation she will crack?  ::Makes a mental note::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@EO: It's obscene.  That's the best word I can find.
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#<Regent> XO: ...and why do you think that the Dreamscapes would wish to harm our people?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
#::looks to Xia and then the CEO sensing his discomfort:: ~~~CEO: How are you holding up?~~~
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@CIV/EO: They're trying to get the best of both worlds..and with success it seems. Lets see if we can find any weak spots
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::gets up from her chair and moves behind him lacing one hand gently on his shoulder:: CSO: No you’re a tactician and a brilliant one at that, now...in the end a lot of major decisions are influenced by the input of the military, why would they support this?
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
@EXO: If the pressure is high enough. She has this outer shell she shows , as great and capable officer, but underneath very insecure.
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
@CIV:  Obscene it might be...but very efficient...however…. where phasers and photon torpedoes fail...the common cold may prevail.
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
#::Tries to form a coherent thought:: ~~~XO: I'll...live.~~~ ::Coughs::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@EO: A virus?  Computer or Biological?  or both?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@CIV: Biological I’d say
EXO_LtCmdr_Foresight says:
@::Taps a few buttons on the command console:: FCO: Does command know about this?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
# Regent: You refer to the first of the three new species as feared and corrupt, you refer to the dreamscapes as an enemy, I can't see how these references suggest that they are not likely to or may indeed in the past have caused harm to each other and ::pauses:: or possibly yourselves.
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
@:: smiles and begins to do a detailed scan of the biological components.. searching for genetic flags that might indicate organic weak points.::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
@Self: hmmm...very interesting indeed.
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
@EXO: They know, but nova class vessels usual don't get in such situation so she's capable enough.
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@EO, SO: IF you don't mind, I'm going ask Exeter for an opinion, he's been here longer than I have, he might have an idea we don't
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::sighs softly and looks over at her:: OPS: They have their own agenda. This rag-tag bunch of ships they got may number in the millions, but against the Federation they'd have little chance of winning. Mostly fighters out there, few cruisers and even fewer capital ships. They would be cut to pieces alone...
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Helps the EO, feeding different radiation types:: EO/CIV: mm.. Well how bout this
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@*FCO*: Commander, IF you have a moment, I have a question for you.
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
@CIV/SO: It would seem that certain radiation energy wavelengths have a detrimental effect.... SO: Thank you, Comrade....I wouldn't have thought of that.  Nice thinking!
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
OPS: But add in the threat of subspace and bio-engineered weapons, and they're suddenly a lot more powerful
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
#::instinctively nods for no apparent reason to anyone other then Lai:: ~~~CEO: Good to hear it Lieutenant~~~ ::looks to the Regent hoping he will calm so she can get Lai to sickbay to be assessed::
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#<Regent> XO: The Dreamscapes are not our enemy...we did not discover their kind until we began to travel through subspace. ::He pauses, realizing he just royally slipped up::
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
@*CIV*:  I have a moment, commander, what can I do for you?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::shivers all over as an idea hits her:: CSO: God...then what do they really have up their sleeves?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@EO/CIV: I'm glad they at least have a weak spot. Lets see if we can find some optimums here
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@*FCO*: We're running an analysis of the data we downloaded at the comms center.  You have any bright ideas about races that might have similar data, scientific or genetic structures?
EXO_LtCmdr_Foresight says:
@FCO: Yeah right, we have had our moments.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::keeps a close eye on both sensor arrays::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::looks over to the blip on his console and frowns:: OPS: I don't know, but at the moment they're monitoring the Eridanus' movements. Can you get in contact with the Eridanus commander?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
#::her jaw drops, she glances to the others:: Regent: Your excellency I believed our data was flawed as you did not understand how we assumed you had subspace technology. ::her eyes focus on him her senses more alert::
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#::Xia watches the Regent, still not standing down from her defensive position::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
@:: starts to contemplate an idea he had not to long ago.....moving suddenly to another console and furiously tapping at the keypad.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
@*CIV*:  Haydes, he's a species on his own, but If your clearance is high enough, you might try the 'Dreamscapes' last mission they had something to do with the Airilians or whatever they are called.
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#<Regent> ::He marches pack to his chair in the centre of the council chambers, all eyes on him:: XO: This meeting is over, Commander...return to your Scimitar. When you have proof, we will hear it. Until then - leave.
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#<Regent> XO: ...and take your Ambassador and Spy with you. If I see them in my council chambers again, I will have them killed...
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@::Sees the EO typing feverishly, then gets an idea and starts abusing the console to get the data in as fast as he can::
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@*FCO*: Oh rest assured, my clearance is high enough.  EO, SO: Did you hear that?  Try it....
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
@CIV/SO: It is theoretical possible to change the subspace frequency of the phaser array to allow the spectral foundation of the beam to simulate an alternate radiated energy structure while keeping the energy delivery rate constant.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@CIV: I was just trying that now sir
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
@EXO: So the Eridanus has been through the jaws of hell saw three quarters of her crew slaughtered and has been through one hell to another?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@CIV: Since the Dreamscapes have a radiation of their own, I’m trying to look for a match
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::moves back to her console and opens a channel:: COM: Eridanus: EXO: Sir this is the Scimitar please respond if you can
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@::monitors the fighters he saw earlier::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::runs a quick scan on the fleet movements around the Eridanus, frowning at the incomprehensibly large force::
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - As the Eridanus makes her way through the Airilian fleet, the group of practice fighters makes their way up behind the Eridanus...getting a little too close for comfort.
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
# Xia/CEO: It appears we were not the ones who lied in this instance.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@EXO: I spotted some fighters on a practice run earlier but they seem to be getting closer.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@CIV: Looks like it's a match sir. The Dreamscapes theta radiation matches..
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
@*CIV*: hoped it helped.
EXO_LtCmdr_Foresight says:
@FCO: What?  Jaws of whom?  Crew what?
EXO_LtCmdr_Foresight says:
@CTO: Understood..
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
#::Nods, then regrets it. He can't wait to leave to let the pair know what he's found...and to be away from the threat of death::
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
@EXO: I think not.  Commander, we have bogies tailing us.
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
@CIV/SO: By doing this we can configure our phasers to cut through the biological structure of the ships and causes significant secondary damage .
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
# :;raises her voice slightly again:: Regent: May we at least leave knowing the war will be postponed until we are able to resume our talks.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::bites her lip and tries again:: COM: Eridanus: All: Eridanus crew, whoever is available please respond
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@CIV: If you don't mind, i would like to transmit our findings to the Scimitar. This is too important to keep for ourselves
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@SO: You will never know how much i wished i would be wrong.
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#<Regent> XO: You have forty-eight hours. Now get out.
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@*FCO*: You were right.
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - The Regent takes a seat, and all eyes turn to Janan, Lai and their companions.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
OPS: Forty fighters tailing the Eridanus, it doesn't look very friendly
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
@*CIV*: Was it Haydes or the Scapes?
EXO_LtCmdr_Foresight says:
@::Hears the comm.:: COM: Scimitar: OPS:  This is Eridanus.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@EXO: I'm picking up a group of about 40 fighters approaching the Scimitar Commander.
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
@<EOPS> EXO: Sir, we have an incoming signal from the Eridanus.
CIV_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
@EO, SO: Relay this information to Commander foresight and the Scimitar.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
OPS: I suggest we move into support range, Ma'am ::smiles over to her::
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
# Regent: Thank you your Excellency. ::bows her head respectfully without taking her eyes from him:: CEO/Xia: It's time we leave. ::sighs realizing this could be a hard task::
EXO_LtCmdr_Foresight says:
@CTO: How far are we?
Host XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
#CEO: Let the Scimitar know we are ready to return please.
FCO_LtCmdr_Exeter says:
@EXO: Suggest we do not open fire or show any hostility, but going to yellow would be advisable
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
@CIV: Aye sir, relaying : :Opens a data channel to the Scimitar, puts in the heaviest encryption he knows and starts transmitting all the data to the Scimitar::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
@EXO: About 5 minutes sir.
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
#::Scampers beside the two women, trying to stand as straight as possible::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
COM: Eridanus: EXO: Sir, we're tracking a nice mass of fighters getting very close...we just thought it prudent over here to inform you of our changing position before we do so
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::picks up the signal from Pierce and sets it decrypting as it comes in, leaving it over to one side::
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#XO: Agreed...::She gives the Regent a look that could kill and then turns towards the entrance of the council chambers. The massive doors open as she approaches, and the away team is hit by a wave of heat and dust...
EXO_LtCmdr_Foresight says:
@::Taps his console:: FCO: Change course to 102 mark 2 slowly.
EXO_LtCmdr_Foresight says:
@COM: Scimitar: OPS: Understood.
CEO_Lt_Lai says:
#::Taps his badge:: *Scimitar*: Away Team to Scimitar, prepare to beam us back. 
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:

@::Sees that the plasma has been vented, and engages course away at maximum impulse::  CTO: We are clear!
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::looks down into her console, staring blankly:: Self: oh god
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:

Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::Xia looks cold, and moves over to the Executive Officer seat, glancing at an display of the battle:: XO: Three vessels destroyed, however the Eridanus did disable a considerable number of Airilian fighters. Sometimes you need to make sacrifices in battle, Commander.
